Neil Diamond - As If lyrics

It was more than a matter of knowin’

Or the words that were finally said

It was more than the comin’ or goin’

Or the things that were made in your head

It was more than a matter of wantin’

And needin’ the foolish things I gave

As if I ever cared to make you cry

Could’ve been right to know that it was’t

Yet you knew I was sorry

I dared to make you cry

As if I would

As if I could

As if I tried

But the words that were finally spoken

Like the thoughts that remain in my soul

And hearts that were finally broken

And embrace that never be hold

And the words that I never told you

But I told you, the foolish things I said

As if I ever cared to make you cry

I could’ve been right to know that I wasn’t

Yet you knew that I was sorry

I dared to make you cry

As if I would

As if I could

As if I tried

As if I ever cared to make you cry

I could’ve been right to know that I wasn’t

Yet you knew that I was sorry

I dared to make you cry

Could have been strong but the words didn’t rhyme

And the things that would come between us
