  • If you could only see the way she loves me
    Then maybe you would understand
    Why I feel this way about our love
    And what I must do
    If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
    When she says she loves me

    Well you got your reasons
    And you got your lies
    And you got your manipulations
    They cut me down to size

    Sayin' you love but you don't
    You keep your love but you won't

    If you could only see the way she loves me
    Then maybe you would understand
    Why I feel this way about our love
    And what I must do
    If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
    When she says she loves me

    Seems the road less traveled
    Shows happiness unraveled
    And you gotta take a little dirt
    To keep what you love
    That's what you gotta do

    Sayin' you love but you don't
    You keep your love but you won't
    Stretching out your arms for something that's just not there
    You're sayin' you love where you stand
    Give your heart when you can

    If you could only see the way she loves me
    Then maybe you would understand
    Why I feel this way about our love
    And what I must do
    If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
    When she says she loves me

    You're sayin' you love but you don't
    You keep your love but you won't
    (But she won't)
    You're sayin' you love where you stand
    Give your heart when you can

    If you could only see the way she loves me
    Then maybe you would understand
    Why I feel this way about our love
    And what I must do
    If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
    When she says she loves me Writer/s: Emerson Hart
