Elder Brother - If You Love Me (Like You Say) Lyrics

Could you look me in the eye
In the morning, passing by
Or would you turn away, turn away, would you turn?

Was tempted into growing old
Faster than I could have known
And the world turned away, turned away, oh it turned

Well if you love me like you say you love me
Then it's time to show me, even if it's slowly
Because I need you, though I didn't mean to
I guess I've made a few mistakes

Oh I've been holding on for so long
By the rope around my neck
Oh I've been holding on for so long
For so long, maybe so long's not so bad

Do you still hate to hear my name?
Still feel you're the one to blame?
Or am I just another candle you've burned down?

Oh we got this way together
But you left for better weather
And now I'm spinning out, spinning out, spinning out

Well if you love me like you say you love me
Then it's time to show me, and I mean really show me
Because I want you, though I didn't want to
Could maybe something go my way?

Well I could use a little help, I can't do it by myself
In and out of these hotels
It's getting just too overwhelming
And my friends, no, they don't know
Because I don't know how to tell them
And my family, they don't know
I can't do it to them again
So if you love me
Like you say you love me
So if you love me
Then it's time to show me
