Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I couldn't help myself
What if I forgot your birthday
And didn't care
What if I was suesidal
And just left you bihind
Would you still love me
Would you still love me
Would you still love me
Would you still love me
Would you still love me
What if a long strike gave me own annivesary
Could you still find it in your heart to care for me
What if I turn to the part that set me free
Or gave it to her when she forced her self on me
Would you still love me
Would you still love me
Oh could you still love me
Could you still love me
Don't think about
What if you stole
That your love is enough for me
It will always be
Don't think about
What if you stole
That your love is enough for me
It will always be oh oh
It will be
I know you would still love me
You know I would still love you
I know you would still love me
I know you would still love me

What if I were a liar
Imagine if I was dishonest and deceived you
And I couldn't help myself
And I had no control over my actions
What if I forgot your birthday
What if I unintentionally neglected your special day
And didn't care
And my feelings towards the situation were indifferent
What if I was suesidal
What if I was having suicidal thoughts
And just left you bihind
And abandoned you without any explanation
Would you still love me
Despite my potential flaws, would you still have affection towards me?
If I forgot who I am
If I lost track of my identity
What if a long strike gave me own annivesary
What if I had to work on our anniversary due to a prolonged strike at my job
Could you still find it in your heart to care for me
Would you still have empathy for me and my situation
What if I turn to the part that set me free
What if I reverted back to the things that made me feel liberated from personal struggles
Or gave it to her when she forced her self on me
Or if someone else took advantage of me in a vulnerable state
Oh could you still love me
Despite all of this, would you still have love for me?
Don't think about
Don't worry about
That your love is enough for me
As long as I have your love, everything else will work itself out
It will always be
Our love will always remain
I know you would still love me
I believe you would still have affection towards me
You know I would still love you
And I still have love for you too
I know you would still love me
I trust that your love for me wouldn't waver

I lose my breath when I think about you because you're my love forever.
I run out of oxygen when I think about you because you're my love forever.
When I look at the way, she looks at me, you'd swear I used a love spell on her.
When I look at the way, she looks at me, you'd swear I used a love portion on her.
Oh No, the way I love her hurts me inside.
#Kelly
I become very weak when I hear your voice, all my life I've never loved like this before.
I become very weak when I hear your voice, all my life I've never loved like this before.
Just look at the way you look at me you'd swear you used a love spell on me
Just look at the way you look at me you'd swear you used a love spell on me
Oh No, the way I love him hurts me inside.
