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
