If (poem)

If I had a mystery
I'd spoil the surprise
Giving it away to you
To see it through your eyes
If I had a song to sing
I'd name it after you
So that each time it was heard
Everybody knew
That no one mattered anymore
And no one ever would
That I would stop the spinning earth
If only music could
And if I had a purer heart
I think that I could be
Something that you'll someday need
If only that were me
For if I look inside myself
At what I hide away
I find my heart will never be
The reason that you stay
