IF I COULD

I keep hearing that it will get better

That it is always darkest with the night

Come the dawn, everything looks brighter

My will to live shall rally for the fight

You're telling me I am not alone here

There's always someone I just have to look

Don't you know that I've become too weary

I'd have already done so if I could

~~~*Chorus*~~~

If I could...

I would see the best of what is here

If I could

I wouldn't be lonely, so damned strangled

By my fears

I know I should..

I should see the beauty, please believe me 

I would... 

I would if I could

~~*~~

When you tell me I am being selfish

Not to say that I'm leaving you again

I know that you Love me and you'll miss me

But even that can't measure with this pain

You say that you don't understand me

I can't explain when I am just as blind

All I know is that to end this misery

I've got to go and leave this life behind

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

If I could wave a magic wand

Clean out the depths of me

I'd blow apart the desperation

And I'd set the laughter free

Right now everything that's wonderful and good...

Has escaped me

And  I would bring it back if I could

Oh...If I could

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

If I could...

I would see the best of what is here

If I could

I wouldn't be lonely, so damned strangled

 By my fears

I know I should..

I should see the beauty, please believe me 

I would... 

I would if  I could
