Song/Poem of the Day — If I Can Lose You

If I Can Lose You

What chance do I have when you can have anyone you want You look at me once but not twice Do you know that I’m there If you were mind what chance would I have

If I can lose you to another, what chance do I have So easy your love, it comes and goes You tease me like no other You seduce me with just a smile

You kill me so easily with just a look You whispered you’d give me your heart and I believe this My heart says to look out for your dangerous side If I can lose you to another, what chance do I really have with my heart in your hand

Can you hold me with such tenderness to make me feel I can never lose you You can have anyone you desire, and how much do you desire me If you can desire me so easily, can I lose you to another so easily I know that it’s true your tenderness for me but deep in my heart what is there for me

Is this a dream to desire someone so much as you Is it my destiny to lose you so easily You make me want you and ache for you it shows in my face every time you smile at me But this won’t last forever for my heart tells me I can lose you so easily

It’s a chance that I take to give you my heart and I know it’s me who will pay the price Everybody warns me not to love you and to let you go It seems I can also lose you so easily just because you want to leave You yearn for solitude and isolation and draw in your lovers when you desire

I could lose you so easily so you could live on your own What’s in this for me if I give you my heart that you draw me into with such sweet kisses You seduce me into your arms with such passion and release me so viciously If I can lose you my heart will always cry out for what could be

I’ll go mad first before I lose you to your solitude
