If
b.l.o.w Lyrics

The lyrics of "If" by b.l.o.w express the singer's thoughts about his tumultuous relationship with his partner. The first lines imply that they have gone through rough times and the singer is aware of what his partner is thinking. He then proceeds to beg her not to leave, admitting that he does not know what he has done to justify her wanting to walk away. He acknowledges that she may not need him anymore, and that's when he pleads with her to be open and let him know if it's over, so that he can find closure too.

The repetition of the line "If you leave, don't you come back" emphasizes the singer's desperation not to lose his partner, but at the same time highlights his anger and disappointment with her for considering leaving in the first place. Perhaps he has been hurt before, and he doesn't want to deal with the emotional turmoil of breaking up and getting back together again. The lines "I've been trying to doubt all my fears/I've been crying/ I'm doused in my tears" convey the depth of his anxiety and the pain of the potential loss.

The last lines of the lyrics reveal the singer's confusion and hurt over his partner's lack of reciprocation. He still has feelings for her, but she seems to have moved on, leaving him behind. The song is a lamentation of a relationship in distress, where the singer is trying to hold on to what he has, but is faced with the possibility of losing everything.
