If I Had Love You, and You, and You
If I had love you, and you, and you
If I had not resisted so many advances
To make me a better man
If I had laugh at the attempts to monopolize
My life like a cheap commodity
I should be nervously speaking now
To drown reality with my better voice
This morning I woke up
And could lift the blanket of pain
Heavy as silence upon my brain
And I am afraid
Not to love and love again forever
But to speak
For if I speak the past is over
I cannot destroy what I so believe in.
Upon my lips the words are forming,
I must smile to let it go away.
