If I Wasn’t Your Man

Whispered nights, tangled sheets, your scent on my skin

The weight of what we have, keeps me in

Sometimes I wonder if you feel the same

Or if it’s lost, buried beneath the pain

If I wasn’t your man, would you still hold on?

Would your touch be colder, or would you prove me wrong?

In your eyes, I see a fire that’s flickering low

But it’s better than the strangers I’ll never know

Every scar, every tear, it’s part of what we are

But we still cling, in the dark, to every stolen star

No matter how bad, how real, how true

It could be worse, with somebody new

In love, we should bring out the best in each other

Not tear apart, not smother, but discover

Your voice is a secret, a melody I crave

A taste, a promise that I can’t escape

Even in silence, I feel your heat,

A whisper, a sigh, so raw, so sweet

Every fight, every night, taught us to remain

Holding tight though the hurt, through the pain

No matter how bad, how real, how true

It could be worse, with somebody new

In love, we should bring out the best in each other

Not tear apart, not smother, but discover

So if I wasn’t your man, would it still be us?

Or just shadows lingering, in love’s faint dust?
