IF YOU HAD LOVED ME

There was so much I wanted to say,
But I chose silence instead.
I let my tears hide in the shadows,
And gave time the words I never said.

I loved you once with all I had,
Like the sky loves every star above.
Like the moon waits for the darkness,
Like the ocean waits for love.

Pre-Chorus
I gave you my dreams, my truth, my soul,
Everything I could give away.
But you played with my emotions,
And watched my heart slowly break.

Chorus
If you had loved me like I loved you,
How beautiful our story could have been.
We could have danced through every storm,
And found the light through every wind.
But love can't grow where hearts don't meet,
And forever can't survive alone.
So now I'm walking down this road,
With memories and a heart that's grown.


You made me feel so small sometimes,
Like I was nothing in your eyes.
While I was drowning in the distance,
You never heard my silent cries.

I begged for pieces of your love,
For something real that I could hold.
But I learned that needing someone
Isn't worth more than my soul.

Pre-Chorus
So I gathered all the broken pieces,
Scattered across the floor.
And I learned that love should heal you,
Not leave you hurting more.

Chorus
If you had loved me like I loved you,
How beautiful our story could have been.
We could have built a home together,
And sang our dreams into the wind.
But love can't grow where hearts don't meet,
And forever can't survive alone.
So now I'm walking down this road,
With memories and a heart that's grown.

Bridge
Maybe we would've conquered mountains,
Maybe we'd have chased the stars.
Maybe I'd never know the sorrow
Of loving someone from afar.

But life is not made of "what ifs,"
And love needs two hearts to survive.
So I'll keep moving toward tomorrow,
And leave the past behind.

Final Chorus
If you had loved me like I loved you,
Maybe we'd still be standing here.
Maybe all those dreams I carried
Wouldn't have disappeared.

But what hurts most is not losing you,
Or all the things we'll never do.
What hurts the most is knowing how beautiful
Life would've been...
If you had loved me too.

Outro
If you had loved me too...
If you had loved me too...
