if i loved you
i meant REALLY loved you
wouldn’t i want to make you happy?
wouldn’t i feel more than i can explain?
if i loved you
wouldn’t i change?

if i trusted you
i mean REALLY trusted
would i be so afraid of the future?
would i make excuses for what has been said
if i trusted you for daily bread?

if i believed you
then i’d need you
if i saw in you
what i have praised
would i let your name fall
loosely from my tongue?

if i truly meant what i never say
if i chased the light of the ending day
would you see the hunger, desire
if i loved you more than i love the fire

if i loved you i would chase
if i trusted i’d dance
if i believed i would laugh
they say such things are mere chance!
