If I Were Your Love
Get rid of the ice, pills and hash.
I wouldn’t hide your stash.
Down the toilet it would go.
If I were your love, if it were so.
I’d lock the door, hide the key.
We’d do it together you and me.
No use you wailing or screaming.
I know this is just me dreaming.
To be right there with you,
I know I could help you through.
Through anxiety and muscle aches,
I know I have what it takes.
Withdrawals aren’t that easy to take.
If I had your love, a change I’d make.
Paranoia and irregular heart rate,
Together we could seal your fate.
I’d make you eat and exercise.
I’d hold you when you fantasize.
Change the habit of your sleep.
My feelings for you are so deep.
Til withdrawals subsidence begin.
Should fever or seizures set in,
Caring I will make that fever gone.
You will start to want to go on.
I would stay and be right there.
Always with you cause I care.
Together we’d beat this thing.
If I were your love, joy I’d bring.
But I am not your love, it’s not me.
She has your heart, its plain to see.
I adore you with conviction.
And she will still aid your addiction.
