"If I Could" lyrics

I don't need to know
Just how bad it hurts
I hate I guess that
As I watch you go through worse

And all of these days you've had alone
Learning things you should've known
I'll never know
I've never seen the things you've seen
Or felt the pain so endlessly
But then you're 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

Thought I'd just feel bad
That I'd never ask for more
When you've never had that
Fighting a battle of 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
Or felt the pain so endlessly
But then you're 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 the time would never end
The day that our glasses won't have more sand
That I could stop the second hand
From going around the clock again

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
And tomorrow you would still be there
I would, if I could
If I could
