If You Loved Me Properly


If you loved me properly I wouldn't race home crying

My heart wouldn't lurch in my chest everytime you came around...

 

If you loved me properly guilt and shame wouldn't follow me like a ghost

My hands wouldn't shake when you got angry...

 

If you loved me properly I could tell you all my deepest secrets without fear

If you loved me properly you would put effort into our relationship

If you loved me properly sharing would be easy

 

If only you loved me properly...
