[Verse 1] I saw it in your eyes before you said a word, That quiet kind of hurting that nobody else had heard. You smiled when you saw me, but it never reached your face, Like you were standing in a crowded room And still felt out of place. So I sat down beside you, And I didn’t ask you why, I just waited in the silence Till you finally let me inside. [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Some things are broken And some things never heal.” I put my hand upon your shoulder And told you what I feel… [Chorus] If I could take your pain — I would, Take your heartache — I would. All your despair — I would, Your loneliness — I would. Make you feel whole again — I would, Make you feel loved again — I would, And cherish you forever — I could, I would, I will. [Verse 2] You told me how you loved them With everything you had, How somewhere along the way All the good turned into sad. You said you felt forgotten, Like the world just passed you by, Like every dream you’d ever held Had slowly learned to die. But I could see the person Still hiding deep within, And I knew that if you’d let me, I’d help you live again. [Pre-Chorus] You don’t have to carry Every shadow on your own. If your heart has lost its way, I’ll help you find your way home. [Chorus] If I could take your pain — I would, Take your heartache — I would. All your despair — I would, Your loneliness — I would. Make you feel whole again — I would, Make you feel loved again — I would, And cherish you forever — I could, I would, I will. [Bridge] I’m not here to replace the past, Or tell you how to feel, I just want to be the one Who shows you love is real. And if tonight is dark and cold, Then take my hand and stay— I’ll sit with you through every storm Until the clouds give way. [Final Chorus] If I could take your pain — I would, Take your heartache — I would. All your despair — I would, Your loneliness — I would. Make you feel whole again — I would, Make you feel loved again — I would. And if forever means a lifetime Of standing by your side, Then cherish you forever — I could, I would, I will. [Outro] So when you think nobody sees you, When you’re sure you’re all alone, Just look beside you, my dear friend— You’ll find you’ve found a home. I can’t erase your yesterday… But I’ll love you still. If I could, I would… And because I can— I will.
