If You Didn't Love Me [Why Are You Still Here]

[Verse 1]
G
You say it’s over, but you’re still around,
Em
Holding onto words you never let out.
C
Caught in the silence, a whisper’s ache,
D
Why are you here if your heart’s not awake?

[Chorus]
G
If you didn’t love me, why are you still here?
Em
Haunting these hallways, pulling me near.
C
Every step closer, you drift away,
D
If you didn’t love me, why’d you stay?

[Verse 2]
G
Late night confessions, eyes that don’t meet,
Em
Words like shadows, bitter and sweet.
C
There’s something you're hiding, that I can’t see,
D
If love’s a stranger, then why choose me?

[Chorus]
G
If you didn’t love me, why are you still here?
Em
Filling the silence, fueling my fear.
C
Holding on tightly just to let go,
D
If you didn’t love me, I’d need to know.

[Bridge]
Em C
Maybe there’s a reason, some hidden truth,
G D
Or maybe I’m the ghost of someone you once knew.
Em C
But I need an answer, to make this clear,
G D
If you didn’t love me, why are you here?

[Chorus]
G
If you didn’t love me, why are you still here?
Em
Lingering softly, close but unclear.
C
Maybe it’s comfort, maybe it’s fear,
D
If you didn’t love me, why are you here?

[Outro]
G
If you didn’t love me, don’t stay in vain,
Em
Don’t leave me holding onto your name.
C
Walk out that door, or love me near,
D G
If you didn’t love me… why are you here?
