If I Could

I don't even know just how bad it hurts
I hate that I get sad, as I watch you go through worse
And all these days you've had alone
Learning things you shouldn't know, mmh
I'll never know

I've never seen the things you've seen and felt a pain so endlessly
But then your laughing in my dreams won't let this fade to memory

And if I could
I would take it all away from you for good
I'd weather every storm that you withstood
The nights your lights flickered or fell asleep with old pictures
I would, if I could

God, I just feel bad, that I have ever asked for more
When you've never had that, fighting a battle all your own
And when I catch myself complaining
While your smiling through your pain and oh
I'll never know

I've never seen the things you've seen and felt a pain so endlessly
But then your laughing in my dreams won't let this fade to memory

And if I could
I would take it all away from you for good
I'd weather every storm that you withstood
The nights your lights flickered or fell asleep with old pictures
I would, if I could

If I could

I wish our time would never end and that hourglasses had more sand

Oh, oh

That I could stop the second hand from going around the clock again

Oh, oh-oh

If I could
I would take it all away from you for good
I'd weather every storm that you withstood
The nights your lights flickered or fell asleep with old pictures
I would if I could

And if I could

I'd carry you until you're out the woods
I'd love to see you live the life you should
If all this world was fair, then tomorrow you would still be there
I would if I could

If I could
