If I Go
Ella Eyre Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could play anything for you
I could say what you want me to
I could lie, I could lie
'Cause you're wanting a little more
And I'm stuck in the middle of,
But I try, but I try
And I need time, and I need space
I need to live without your face

But if I go will you love me?
Will you love me until I can
Do you know will you want me?
Will you want me like that?
And if I leave, will it end?
Will you need me again?
If I go, will you love me?
Will you love me when I come back?

I could be what you want me to
And you hold out and let me do what I want?
What I want?
Tell me how long could you wait till you move on
And tell me that it's too late, it's too late

But if I go will you love me?
Will you love me until I can
Do you know will you want me?
Will you want me like that?
And if I leave, will it end?
Will you need me again?
If I go, will you love me?
Will you love me when I come back?

Ooh, boy, oh when I come back, no oh oh, when i come back

But if I go will you love me?
Will you love me until I can
Do you know will you want me?
Will you want me like that?
And if I leave, will it end?
Will you need me again?
If I go, will you love me?
Will you love me when I come back?

It took Mon Laferte a good number of years to become as popular as she is now.
She's an amazing singer who played everywhere she could.
I don't know if Ella has done that yet .
If she hasn't , then it could be a manager is to blame . Somebody.
Ella was a wonderful voice.
