If I Could Only Lyrics

I'm sorry I can't be there with you

Go and enjoy that fancy party

Of all the things that you've been through

You gotta do some things on your own

You keep looking for hope so don't look back

Even though you cry yourself to sleep, every night

When the night is full of your enemies

There'll be a friend in one tomorrow

For the heart aches and longs for why

But the message remains

If you take the air and let it in

It locks the song within

If I could only take away your pain

Don't you know, I would

If I could only ease the suffering

Don't you know I would

All of a sudden it's not so lonely, crying out

But no one calls my name in the morning light

I'm feeling lighter now

Say you're gonna live your life

Tell them all that Lazarus' not coming back

I got you love-struck, love-sick, but above it all I got you here in my heart

If I could only take away your pain

Don't you know, I would

If I could only ease the suffering

Don't you know I would

If I could only take away your pain

Don't you know, I would

If I could only ease the suffering

Don't you know I would
