If I Could

I don't even know just how bad it hurts
 I hate that I get sad, as I watch you go through worse
 And all these days you've had alone
 Learning things you shouldn't know, mmh
 I'll never know
 I've never seen the things you've seen and felt a pain so endlessly
 But then your 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
 God, I just feel bad, that I have ever asked for more
 When you've never had that, fighting a battle all 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 and felt a pain so endlessly
 But then your 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 our time would never end and that hourglasses had more sand
 Oh, oh
 That I could stop the second hand from going around the clock again
 Oh, oh-oh
 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, then tomorrow you would still be there
 I would if I could
 If I could
