Song Meaning of “If I Loved You” by Danny Wright
If I Loved You, a song by Danny Wright, tells the story of a young man trying to find the courage to express his love for someone. He knows he doesn’t have the strength in himself to make it happen on his own, so he invites his higher power to join him in this journey.
The first verse speaks to this inner struggle to confront his feelings:
“If I loved you
Would you love me too
Would I find my courage
In what I do
How I wish that I could feel
What I’m made of,
To tell you all I want
But I’m so afraid of it all”
The chorus drives this point home, emphasizing that he needs his higher power’s help in order to make his love become reality:
“If I loved you
Please God help me find
The courage in me
For love to come alive”
This love is something that affects him so deeply that he breaks down singing “I’m so consumed by fear. It tears me up inside.” He’s hoping that with God’s help, he’ll have the strength to make his love a reality.
