If You Understood I Loved You

Should have never touched the mason jar That held that homemade brew Should have never sipped the offering That made me fall for you If you understood I loved you And you offered me this earth How come you act surprised I too understood my worth Now I ain't the type to gladhand To extend and then recede If I move this motormouth dear God I move it and believe So if you understood I loved you And were kind enough to say That you loved me too, then Lord I knew I'd let you have your way But I'm built on sullen ground Where the worst parts muster up more than a mound So if you understood I loved you And sat upon the pile Then get it I might still love you awhile I gave eyes to those who knew you I met them where they were I often waited patiently For a kindness to occur When they understood I loved you Witnessed warmness in my core I felt welcome in their mercy That they let my essence stir You fed me my illusion Socked and staggered my soft dream That within and both without you Our small world was real it seemed If you understood I loved you And too understood my heart You would've let me go so early To not let it get this far But I'm built on sullen ground Where the worst parts muster up more than a mound So if you understood I loved you And sat upon the pile Then get it I might still love you awhile Now hold my memory near you Hang its portrait in a frame Let it linger low and loosely Though you can't quite feel the same And if you understand I loved you And for a moment loved me too Then understand your leaving Hurts more than you mean it to But I'm built on sullen ground Where the worst parts muster up more than a mound So if you understood I loved you And sat upon the pile Then get it I might still love you awhile Then get it I might still love you awhile Then get it I might still love you Awhile
