If you could only see the way he/she loves me

If you could only see by Tonic

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do

If you could only see how blue
Her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Well you got your reasons
And you got your lies
And you got your manipulations
They cut me down to size

Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do

If you could only see how blue
Her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Seems the road less traveled
Shows happiness unraveled
And you got to take a little dirt
To keep what you love
That's what you gotta do

Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
You're stretching out your arms
To something that's just not there

Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do

If you could only see how blue
Her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do

If you could only see how blue
Her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

I was cleaning out my closet this morning and this song came on my chosen Pandora Radio Station and it grabbed my attention. It sounded like the conversation that takes place in the codependent mind. One minute trying to justify why they stay with the addict and the next minute complaining to (or about) the addict blaming them for their woes. Back and forth back and forth.......confusion......anxiety.....pleading... ...sad.....mad....loving....hating. But most of all, feeling that no one else could possibly understand.

Every single person here on SR HAS SEEN the way he or she loves you. We've seen it in the eyes of the addicts in our own lives.

You are not alone. We all understand. And we all know it's not easy to love someone so much that it turns you inside out.

There is hope. There is serenity. When you're ready.

gentle hugs

I've always liked this song, but the lyrics definitely take on a different meaning now. Thanks, Kindeyes.

Wow, I was thinking this sounds like an addicts love affair with their drugs. Addiction and codependency have such similarities, it's almost unbelievable.
