If She Was Her Lover      SSTM2018    (music and lyrics by William Thompson/TrueVulgarian)

Verse one

If she was her lover, then she’d know how she hurt me.

Her heart full one moment, the next minute empty.

If she was her lover, she’d look to find love signs                    

With a hope today would be one of those times.

Chorus one

If she was her lover, she’d cling to herself this minute,

See through my mind’s eye and know my love without limit.

If she was her lover, she’d know that my love is true

And try to find a way to get through to you.

Verse two

If she was her lover, she’d be so confused.

And feel the sadness of being a thing to amuse.

If she was her lover, she’d wonder what was wrong

And convince herself she was not strung along.

Chorus two

If she was her lover, she’d seek the meaning of it all.

Embrace the heights of passion, preparing for the fall.

If she was her lover, she’d know to give me a chance.

And learn the meaning of romance.

Verse three

If she was her lover, she’d feel that desperate need,

To find that one person to trust and believe.

If she was her lover, she’d understand

The love that dwells in the heart of this man

Chorus three   

If she was her lover, she’d want a kiss upon her lips,

And wonder why the story had gone so far off script.

If she was her lover, she’d know I loved her right now.

And find a way to believe it somehow.

Verse four

If she was her lover, she’d know the hell I’ve been in

Like a punishment for love and not sin

If she was her lover, she’d live with the pain

Of a barrier that exists without name.

Chorus four

If she was her lover, she’d revel in our love each second

Of our time together, like a siren it would beckon.

If she was her lover, she’d know how loves feels.

And end her heartache as it heals.

Chorus five

If she was her lover, she’d know the fear of hangin’ on.

And the price I’ve paid for my devotion

If she was her lover, she sense the longing I feel.

And wonder if and when love might be revealed.
