If You Love Me (Like You Say) - Elder Brother

Could you look me in the eye

In the morning, passing by

Or would you turn away, turn away, would you turn?

Was tempted into growing old

Faster than I could have known

And the world turned away, turned away, oh it turned

Well if you love me like you say you love me

Then it’s time to show me, even if it’s slowly

Because I need you, though I didn’t mean to

I guess I’ve made a few mistakes

Oh I’ve been holding on for so long

By the rope around my neck

Oh I’ve been holding on for so long

For so long, maybe so long’s not so bad

Do you still hate to hear my name?

Still feel you’re the one to blame?

Or am I just another candle you’ve burned down?

Oh we got this way together

But you left for better weather

And now I’m spinning out, spinning out, spinning out

Well if you love me like you say you love me

Then it’s time to show me, and I mean really show me

Because I want you, though I didn’t want to

Could maybe something go my way?

Oh I’ve been holding on for so long

By the rope around my neck

Oh I’ve been holding on for so long

For so long, maybe so long’s not so bad

Well I could use a little help, I can’t do it by myself

In and out of these hotels

It’s getting just too overwhelming

And my friends, no, they don’t know

Because I don’t know how to tell them

And my family, they don’t know

I can’t do it to them again

So if you love me

Like you say you love me

So if you love me

Then it’s time to show me
