If I had your heart

If I had your heart;

Even only for a night;

I would leave my phone unanswered;

And tell myself that I was right;

I would walk through any doorway;

Never turned to watch you cry;

How I called it being honest;

When I only said goodbye;

If I had your heart;

Maybe I could finally learn;

How you hold somebody close;

Without caring if they hurt;

I would listen when you're speaking;

I would notice when you change;

I would never make you question;

If your love was all in vain;

If I had your heart;

I would handle it with care;

I would never leave you waiting;

While pretending I was there;

I would tell you when I'm leaving;

I would tell you why it's hard;

I would never make you love me;

With only half of my heart;

If I had your eyes;

Maybe I could see myself;

Standing quietly beside you;

While you wanted someone else;

I would make another promise;

Then forget it by the dawn;

I would call you overthinking;

When you knew that I was gone;

But I had my heart;

And I gave it all to you;

I believed that loving deeply;

Was the only thing to do;

Now you're standing at my doorway;

Saying you've become someone new;

But becoming who I needed;

Came a little late for you;

I don't say it was a moment;

Don't say you lost control;

You didn't lose me all at once;

You let me go in pieces slow;

You thought that I would stay here;

No matter what you put me through;

You were right about my loving;

You were wrong about what I do;

You still have your heart;

But you never learned to share;

You only miss the way I loved you;

Now that I am not still there;

You can promise you'll be different;

You can swear you've understood;

But I needed you to love me;

When I still believed you could;

You still have your heart;

And I finally have mine too;

I once thought that losing you;

Was the worst that I could do;

Now I know the greater heartbreak;

Was how small I had to become;

Just to keep you from deciding;

I was no longer the one;

If I had your heart;

I might have broken mine;

But I had mine;

And I survived;

Mmm, I need you;
