Lets Say I Stopped Loving You

Let’s say I stopped loving you
Would you care?
If I looked you into the eyes then walked away
Would you just stand there? 
Then a few minutes later walk away
Or would you chase me down wanting me to stay?
Do you get concerned when I cry?
Do you think of me at night?
Are you happy I’m in your life?
Do you not care about my mistakes?
If we had to 
would you run away with me?
When it came down to it
Would you protect me?
Stay faithful to me?
Be there for me?
Love me?
Let’s say I stopped loving you
Because it was wasting my time
Every question I asked you didn’t answer right
You’ve failed the test
And excuses won’t save you this time
Because i"m no longer lustfully blind
I clearly see the truth
And there’s nothing you can do 
Lets say I stopped loving you
Because you wouldn’t care
I’m walking away
and I can already feel you just standing there
Preparing to move on
Because to you I'm not worth the chase
The tears on my cheeks don’t matter
Instead of being my protector 
You left me out in the cold
To defend on my own
You couldn’t stay faithful to me
You were never there for me
You never loved me
Let’s say I stopped loving you
Truth is I never started
