If I Could

It's hard to heal an open wound Like all the other times I spoke to someone And my walls came caving in You see, time will hold no circumstance And even when I wanna stay in bands The music always fades away So you look so close to recognize The slight contention in the eyes Distractions come so fast And they slip away with no surprise The masquerading little lies The whispers of the past And if I could, you know I would Take everything and make it good And if I could, you know I would Make everything to be the way it should And a gentle tongue can break a bone Or turn your anger into stone To show concern for need And you cannot speak, you're paralyzed Afraid I might evangelize I'm as quiet as could be And if I could, you know I would Take everything and make it good And if I could, you know I would Make everything to be the way it should And how can the blood flow through these veins? How does my blood flow through these veins? And if I could, you know I would Take everything and make it good And if I could, you know I would Make everything to be the way it should
