lyrics

If Only You Weren’t You
© 2013 Sue Fink

We’ve been together since the earth was new
We know each other through and through, and
Now you say it’s time to go our separate ways
You won’t listen to a word I say, well
This cannot be true… if only you… weren’t…

We should be side by side on the sofa
Resting in each other’s arms
We could be doin’ a duet together
Singin’ ’bout each other’s charms

And you would tell me how you appreciate
The million little things I do (and I do)
Nothing could make you turn away from me –
If only you weren’t you

We could be strolling hand in hand down the
Chilly streets when lights are low
Reminisce about the first time we kissed
All those stars and moons ago

And if you were sad, you would tell me,
And not just say that we were through
We could work out whatever our troubles –
If only you weren’t you

If only you weren’t you
You could be more like who I’d always
thought you’d be
If only you weren’t you
But you won’t even try, now you’re
asking me to set you free… oh no, oh no…

Everything always had to be your way
– I knew that from the start
I’d just swallow my pride and compromise
– Guess that wasn’t so smart

Now you tell me you’ve found another, well,
I just didn’t have a clue, ooohh
If you were someone whose word meant anything –
But then, you wouldn’t be you
If only you weren’t you
If only you weren’t you
If only you weren’t you
If only you weren’t…
Darling, we’d be so perfect together…
If only you… weren’t… you
