If I'M Not
If I’m not the reason you smile,
if a relationship isn’t your style,
if loving me is a chore,
and if you don’t love me more and more. . .
then I’ll walk out your open door.
If I’m not on your mind all day,
If I’m not your everything,
If you don’t need me every night,
laying beside you holding you tight. . .
Then you don’t need me in your life.
If I don’t complete your world,
If the thought of me leaving isn’t absurd,
If loving me is hard on you,
If you say you don’t know what to do. . .
Then I will walk away from you.
If you have more fun without me there,
If forever isn’t in your prayer,
If you feel like I’m a waste time,
If you are not completely and totally mine. . .
Then you won’t care if I leave your life.
Even though it will break my heart,
Even though it will tear me apart,
If I’m not your heart and soul,
Then it’s time for me to turn and go. . .
