Song Description

"If You Love Me" is a song about trying to figure out the reasons for breaking up, and holding on regardless of emotional consequences.

Lyrics

So you say that love is lost
Then where are we?
'Cause we knew nothing more than love
And loving is twice the cost
But it's half the fee
Baby, leave, baby, believe me

But you say there's nothing more
That needs to be said
That all these words aren't worth your time
But all this love that I have stored
Boxed and under my bed
Oh, baby, it's free, and baby, it frees my mind

Chorus:

'Cause if you love me
Paint with the colors of spring in the morning time
And if you leave me
Lord, I will make you cry
And if you love me
Nothing will change and nothing will stay the same
But if you leave, if you leave me...

Well, life it goes on
The sun it will rise
But never as beautifully
As the light of the sun in the brown of your eyes
But all this love that I adore
Well, I will replace it with white
'Cause nothing else, no, nothing else seems right

Chorus

Bridge:

Well then I'll take to the roads in the hopes to find another in time
Enough to fake it in a song just to show that love is treating me kind
Oh, but I know in my heart that I'll never find somebody else
So baby, leave, I still believe
Baby, leave me

Chorus
