This song came about in a roundabout sort of way. I started out thinking about my new kitty, Hope, and how someone could just "throw her out" like she was yesterday's news...then my thoughts turned to my ex-bf and his affair with my neighbor...and how all throughout he kept lying to me and telling me he loved me. So, here's the final product, after 3 years of getting over him, I was able to write about it:
If You Loved Me
Copyright 2010 by Polly Hager
Vs. 1
Another cold, dark morning, I open up your phone
Guess you must have dropped it in your hurry leaving home
Messages she sent you left me nothing more to doubt
She moved into your heart and cast me out.
Vs. 2
I stare up at the ceiling, it seems so hard to breathe
Shock upon my tear-soaked face as you walk up to me
You refuse to look at me, you won't admit the truth
All I hear you say is "I love you."
Chorus
If you loved me...
You wouldn't lie straight to my face knowing my pain
You wouldn't keep me in your cruel cold-hearted game
If you loved me...
You wouldn't raise your hand to me ready to strike
You wouldn't treat me like your love comes with a price
If you loved me...
Honey, there's nothing you wouldn't sacrifice.
Vs. 3
Nothing could have ever made me strong enough for this
My whole world is dying and my heart's a sinking ship
Nothing left inside me I'm just empty and alone
She's got you and I am on my own.
Vs. 4
Once a heart is broken it will never really mend
Nothing's left between us and I won't trust you again
Wish I'd known what I know now, It's hard to see the truth
You're lying when you're saying "I love you".
Chorus:
If you loved me...
You wouldn't lie straight to my face knowing my pain
You wouldn't keep me in your cruel cold-hearted game
If you loved me...
You wouldn't raise your hand to me about to strike
You wouldn't treat me like your love comes with a price
If you loved me...
Honey, there's nothing you wouldn't sacrifice.
Bridge
It's so hard to understand
How things got this way
Someone else just comes along
And takes my world away
I ask you for answers
You've nothing to say
That's not love....no, that's not love.
Chorus:
If you loved me...
You wouldn't lie straight to my face knowing my pain
You wouldn't keep me in your cruel cold-hearted game
If you loved me...
You wouldn't raise your hand to me about to strike
You wouldn't treat me like your love comes with a price
If you loved me...
Honey, there's nothing you wouldn't sacrifice,
No, there's nothing that you wouldn't sacrifice.

"Do not endeavor to be the smartest kid in a dumb class. Instead, you are better off being the dumbest kid in the smartest class, where you will be challenged and you will learn. If you aren't growing, you are dying." -Brian Austin Whitney
