If You Don't Love Me

If You Don't Love Me

Wish there was something I could do 
To make things between us better. 
I want to prove my love to you 
So we could be back together 
I didn’t mean to hurt you like that. 
I don’t deserve to be taken back. 

If you don’t love me let me know. 
I’ll simply move on and let you go. 
And I might never love again. 
But if you feel the same way as I do, 
Well baby, now it’s up to you. 
Why can’t we start over again? 

The first time I laid eyes on you, 
I knew I’d never be the same, 
And how you stole my heart away, 
Though I barely knew your name. 
It didn’t take me very long 
‘Til I did you wrong. 

If you don’t love me let me know. 
I’ll simply move on and let you go. 
And I might never love again. 
But if you feel the same way as I do, 
Well baby, now it’s up to you. 

Through the window to my soul 
You’ll see the fragile man I am. 
I’m reaching out - please take my hand. 

If you still feel I’m right for you, 
I’m asking for one more chance. 
Together we’ll make this dream come true 
Just the way we planned. 
Future memories we’ll share. 
There’s still time if we still care. 

If you don’t love me let me know. 
I’ll simply move on and let you go. 
And I might never love again.

Songwriter's Notes: Relationships can be complicated. This song is about a person dealing with love, and the willingness to let someone go if that love isn't mutual. Influenced by pop rock music styles from the 1980s, the song uses dual lead guitars that harmonize in the opening riff and instrumental break.
