If You Don’t Love Me

This one’s not a love song
The story we began
On a park bench outside your place
Laugh and talk for hours
Lit up by the sun
We sang the song in front of everyone

If you don’t love me
Tell me now
The song is over and I won’t sing it anymore
If you don’t love me
Take the song
‘Cause I don’t need it

When I lose myself in routine
You take me by the hand
You show me if I try
I can be a better man
But you’ve got your dark closet too
You sometimes lead me down
And I can’t see to turn it round

If you don’t love me
Tell me now
The song is over and I won’t sing it anymore
If you don’t love me
Take the song
‘Cause I don’t need it

I don’t need it
No I don’t need it no

We call for resolution
With static on the line
We crossed these wires a thousand times or more
Help me if I stumble
And I can’t see the end
If we could only sing that song again

If you don’t love me
Tell me now
The song is over and I won’t sing it anymore
If you don’t love me
Take the song
‘Cause I don’t need it

This one’s not a love song
The story we began
On a park bench outside your place
