"If I Could" lyrics

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
