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
