Lyrics

If you’re in love I hope
It’s a love that does you right
May you never feel alone
In your most difficult night
May your lover never doubt
That you know what you need
May you be protected and believed

I hope the little things you like
Are remembered and employed
I hope your lover’s taking notes
Of the pleasure you’ve enjoyed
May you rise every morning
Curious to know
How the person beside you continues to grow

But if these lines hit like knives for the lack they betray
Remember that love can mean walking away

But if you’ve got it and it’s good
I hope you never forget
To cherish your love every chance that you get
And let your lover cherish you
Receive what they give
I hope it nurtures every reason to live.

But if you’re twisting yourself into knots just to stay
And you’re screaming to be heard but ignored anyway
And the illusion of peace is not a price you can pay
Remember that love can mean walking away
You can love yourself enough not to stay
That’s okay
