If
emzy.collins Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I read all the letters, I read each word that you've sent to me
And though it's past now, and the words start to fade
All the memories I have still remain

I've kept all the pictures, but I hide my feelings so no-one knows
Oh sure my friends all come round, but I'm in a crowd on my own
It's 'cause you're gone now, but your heart, still remains
And it'll be here if you come again

You see, I'd heard the rumors, I knew before you let me know
But I didn't believe it, not you,
No you would not let me go
Seems I was wrong, but I love, I love you the same
And that's the one thing that you can't take away but just remember

If leaving me is easy,
And you know, coming back is harder

And leaving me is easy
And you know, coming back is harder

And leaving me is easy
And you know, coming back is harder

And leaving me is easy
And you know, coming back is harder

And leaving me is easy
And you know, coming back is harder

And leaving me is easy
And you know, coming back is harder

And leaving me is easy
And you know, coming back is harder

Additionally, the lyrics touch on the idea of the challenges that come with rekindling a relationship that has previously ended. All in all, the song is about holding onto past memories and the difficulties of moving on.
