IF I DIDN'T LOVE YOU

 If I didn’t love you

I wouldn’t call you

My friend

If I didn’t care for you

This friendship

Would end

But I know you are hurting

I feel with you,

Pain

I reach out with my friendship

Let’s build it again

 

If I didn’t love you

Like all of us do

If I didn’t care for you

I’d keep what I knew

But I feel

What you feel

Your anger, your pain

I reach out with my friendship

Let’s build it again

 

If I didn’t love you

This wouldn’t hurt

Not a bit

If I didn’t care for you

Then in silence I’d sit

But I feel what I feel

I did what I must

Take my hand of friendship

Let’s rebuild our trust
