Album: Carry The Fire (2012)
Lead vocals for this track were performed by Elizabeth Hopkins. This song provides a rare look at the end of a relationship from the perspective of the one doing the breaking up. She is not leaving because she doesn’t care about the person, but rather, because she does.
[Verse 1]
If I loved you, life would be easy
There'd be no truth that I'd be scared of
I could walk through every valley
And you'd light me with all of your love
[Chorus]
But I don't love you, not like I want to
I don't love you and that makes it hard
And every morning, I see how you watch me
And each night I know you feel it and it just breaks your heart
[Verse 2]
You'd make good money and come home early
And you'd kiss me and hold me each night
We would have children and they would be so beautiful
And we'd raise them and all would be right
[Chorus]
But I don't love you, not like you need it
I don't love you, good as you are
And when I kiss you, I know that you can feel it
And I see it in your eyes, and it just breaks my heart
[Bridge]
I wish to God I could change it, darling
Could make you the one
I will always have these regrets and wonder
What else I could have done
I will
[Chorus]
Cause if I loved you, I could be happy
I would make you the light of my world
I wouldn't wait, love, I'd marry you tomorrow
And we'd make love and I'd be your girl
[Chorus]
But I don't love you, much as I want to
I don't love you, no, it would be a lie
And you deserve love, you're better than a good day
And you'll find it, but just not in my eyes
Cause it ain't here love, no,no
It ain't here love, no no no
It ain't here love, no no no
It ain't here love
And it just breaks my heart
