If i was steady
Would you love me like you do If i was easy
Would i be enough for you
And would you love me If i never lost my nerve
Would you love me like you do?
If i was lonely
Would you hold me in the night
If i was tired
Would you reach out and turn out the light
If i was angry
Would you tell me i was right
If i was wrong???
Just to make me feel alright?
Would you tell me you were there for me only
Roll me around in your perfect skin
Would you tell me i need never more be lonely
Would you close your eyes… and keep on smiling?
And if i asked you
Would you tell to me your mind
Would you show me all your sorrows
Would you leave something behind???
And if i asked too much
Would you say everything was fine?
Would you lie sweet lies to be kind?
And sometimes life is harder than the concrete and the clay
That pack down hard beneath our feet
(oh if life could be more sweet!)
I know that you know it too — our love’s unsteady but it’s true
If we ever fall, may we fall upon our feet…
And if we falter
Let it be because it’s real
Don’t go killing me with kindness
Open wounds never heal
And if you love me, don’t protect me From anything you feel
Love me like you do
