Steady - Kirsty McGee

If i was steady

Would you love me like you do

If i was easy

Would i be enough for you

And would you love me

If i never lost my nerve

Would you love me like you do?

If i was lonely

Would you hold me in the night

If i was tired

Would you reach out and turn out the light

If i was angry

Would you tell me i was right

If i was wrong???

Just to make me feel alright?

Would you tell me you were there for me only

Roll me around in your perfect skin

Would you tell me i need never more be lonely

Would you close your eyes… and keep on smiling?

And if i asked you

Would you tell to me your mind

Would you show me all your sorrows

Would you leave something behind???

And if i asked too much

Would you say everything was fine?

Would you lie sweet lies to be kind?

And sometimes life is harder than the concrete and the clay

That pack down hard beneath our feet

(oh if life could be more sweet!)

I know that you know it too — our love’s unsteady but it’s true

If we ever fall, may we fall upon our feet…

And if we falter

Let it be because it’s real

Don’t go killing me with kindness

Open wounds never heal

And if you love me, don’t protect me

From anything you feel

Love me like you do
