If It Was

[Verse 1] They say love goes the way that you make it, try too hard not to break it And it breaks You'd say it went just the way that you feared, one day I just disappeared And that's true [Chorus] But if it had been love, I would have chosen love And if it had been right, I would have stayed around And if it had been true, I would have gone with the truth And if I was wrong, I'd have found my way back to you [Verse 2] You'd say that I really did you wrong, left you for the words to a song And that's so And today you're hoping that I'm full of regret, chasing something that I'll never get And maybe I am Oh, but it's not you, you should have known it by the way that I stared through your window at the country air While you slept And it's not for me to say when the wind will blow, or ask which way it should go And I don't care [Chorus] [Bridge] "Dry your eyes, darling," that's what I used to say But not a drop, not a drop fell from you that day "I will wait, darling," you said you'd wait right there And you could still be waiting, still I wouldn't care [Chorus]
