If I Didn't Love You

You used to be my bible
Now I'm doubting my beliefs
cnd you've left a trace of evangelicals
Oh, we love watching you breathe

Look into the mirror
Please tell me what you find
Do the eyes of a believer
Turn the ugly into the divine?

Would you like me if I didn't love you,
If my knees weren't touching the floors?
Would you tell me how your day went,
If I could listen without wanting more?

Don't you find it kind of funny?
cll your exes are on meds
cnd you said it was expected
When you said the wrong name in bed

You asked me why I never wrote you any love songs
I said I sing the words I can't pronounce
cnd I love you's were a big problem
Until you showed up unannounced

Would you like me if I didn't love you,
If my knees weren't touching the floors?
Would you tell me how your day went,
If I could listen without wanting more?

I don't blame you for the outcome
But I wish you'd been more gentle
Like a kid on Christmas morning
Getting told the suit is a rental

You used to be my bible
I was raised without religion
But I promised you a love song
I hope you tear up when you listen
