If I Could

He only calls you pretty

When he puts his hands on your body

When he's drunk with his friends after nights that don't end

I just wish he'd come home from that party

You've got these big, brown eyes

You've got the perfect smile

But you're a dreamer, you think that he's a keeper

But he's just a waste of time

You don't wanna let him down

You don't see the higher ground

If I could, if I could take your place

Then I would, then I would walk away

But I'll be your shoulder to cry on

Wipe the tears from your eyes

If I could do it for you

Then I would say goodbye, goodbye

It hurts me to watch you suffer

It's been drivin' me insane

You don't know the love you have to give

And the beauty in your brain

But you don't wanna let him down

I wish you could see the higher ground

And if I could, if I could take your place

Then I would, then I would walk away

But I'll be your shoulder to cry on

Wipe the tears from your eyes

If I could do it for you

Then I would say goodbye, goodbye

I would say goodbye, goodbye

I would say goodbye

I'm tired of your lies

And if you don't get it right

I'm leaving you tonight

I would say goodbye

I'm tired of your lies

And if you don't get it right

I'm leaving you tonight

If I could, if I could take your place

Then I would, then I would walk away

But I'll be your shoulder to cry on

Wipe the tears from your eyes

If I could do it for you

Then I would say goodbye

Wish I could do it for you

I wish I could say goodbye
