If Only

If only I could protect you,
And take all your pain away,
I'll listen and I'll comfort you,
Show you a brighter day.

If only I could help you,
Even when it's clear I can't,
I'll do anything you need me to,
I'm willing to take a chance.

If only I could erase the hurt,
That this world has left you with,
I'd free you from all your problems,
So you can see the sunshine again.

If only I could make you happy,
To see that smile I love,
It kills me to see you hurting so much,
Wish this pain was just my own.

Want to turn your sadness into happiness,
Take away your anger and fear,
Want to fix what I did to you,
I'll always be right here.

To hold you and to comfort you,
I'll tell those tears to stay away,
I'll listen when you need me to,
I'll be with you all the way.

I'll be here for you always,
You can come to me and cry,
Just tell me when you need me,
I'll be there to dry your eyes.
