Wouldn’t be so bad if we hated
If we hated
More than we hated parting
Wouldn’t be so bad if we cared less
If we cared less
More than we cared for
Wouldn’t be so bad if we slated

More than as our love stated
Wouldn’t be so bad if we created
If we created

Wouldn’t be so bad, probably
Yet possibly
It probably would
