If You Were Mine

I see you laughing but your eyes can’t lie,

There’s a crack in the smile that you try to hide,

You say you’re fine, say you’re doing okay,

But I hear the pain in the words you say,

He stands you up, never texts or calls,

Then he says he’s busy, like that fixes it all,

And I’m standing right here, just waiting on time,

Knowing you’ll see the truth,

If you were mine,

I keep my feelings folded deep inside,

Hoping one day you’ll read the signs,

If you were mine, I’d always treat you right,

With you next to me I’d have a shining bright light,

I’d drive you around from day to night,

I’d hold you close and always get it right,

If you were mine, I’d show you what is true,

I show you the signs and hope you’d get my clues

I’m just waiting on the day you finally see,

If you were mine, you’d be safe with me,

I watch them take you for granted again,

Calling it love but it feels like pretend,

They use your heart like it’s something to spend,

I’d never treat you that way, not now, not then,

You deserve someone who chooses you first,

Not someone who leaves you broken and hurt,

I won’t rush your heart, I won’t force the truth,

But I hate the way that he’s breaking you,

If you were mine, you’d never feel small,

I’ll be the one to always answer your call,

no second guessing, let’s break down this wall,

I’ll always catch you whenever you fall,

If you were mine, I’d fight for your smile,

Make you forget how they hurt you for a while,

I’m just waiting on the day you finally see,

If you were mine, you’d be home with me,

Just take a moment, let your heart decide,

See who’s been standing right here by your side,

The way you look at me gives me hope,

When I see how he treats you that’s a nope,

I see a smile when we gaze eye to eye,

Just waiting for the moment when you tell him good bye,

I’m not saying he’s bad, he’s just wrong,

I know your heart has been hurting too long,

And maybe one day when you’re done being strong,

You’ll realise where you belonged all along,

I’ll be right here, I’m not going anywhere,

I’ll be right here, showing I care,

So take your time and figure it out,

I know love’s messy, full of fear and doubt,

But when you’re tired of being half-loved again,

When you’re done fixing someone who won’t bend,

I’ll still be here with the truth in my eyes,

No games, no lies, no empty replies,

And you’ll remember every word I said,

When you choose the love that’s ahead,

I’ve always been here right by your side,

I’ve seen you hurt, I’ve seen you cry,

That won’t happen with me, you know it’s true,

My heart would be full, just me and you,

If you were mine, I’d never let you fall,

I’d stand by your side, I’d give you my all,

No second guessing, no wasted time,

Just steady love, love that aligns,

If you were mine, I’d love you right,

Through the quiet days and the longest nights,

Yeah if you were mine I’d treat you right,

If you were mine, your heart will be mine,

Still holding on,

For the love that could be,

You and me,

You’ll be fine,

If you were mine,
