If I Loved You

If I loved you, life would be easy

There'd be no truth that I'd be scared of

I could walk through every valley

And you'd light me with all of your love

But I don't love you, not like I want to

I don't love you and that makes it hard

And every morning, I see how you watch me

And each night I know you feel it and it just breaks your heart

You'd make good money and come home early

And you'd kiss me and hold me each night

We would have children and they would be so beautiful

And we'd raise them and all would be right

But I don't love you, not like you need it

I don't love you, good as you are

And when I kiss you, I know that you can feel it

And I see it in your eyes, and it just breaks my heart

I wish to God I could change it, darling

Could make you the one

I will always have these regrets and wonder

What else I could have done

I will

'Cause if I loved you, I could be happy

I would make you the light of my world

I wouldn't wait, love, I'd marry you tomorrow

And we'd make love and I'd be your girl

But I don't love you, much as I want to

I don't love you, no, it would be a lie

And you deserve love, you're better than a good day

And you'll find it, but just not in my eyes

'Cause it ain't here love, no

And it just breaks my heart
