If I Could Take It All Away
Verse 1
She’s got eyes that don’t sleep anymore
Heavy like they’ve seen too much rain
Laughs a little softer than before
Hides the hurt, but I feel the pain
There’s a weight she don’t talk about
Carries it deep in her bones
I can hear it when the night gets loud
When she thinks she’s all alone
Pre-Chorus
I see the battle in her hands
Shakin’ when she lets go
She don’t think I understand
But God, I wish she’d know
Chorus
If I could take it all away, I would
Every scar, every craving, every night she misunderstood
From the bottle to the white-line lies
That promise peace but steal her light
I’d carry every demon she’s fighting inside
Lay ‘em on my back, let her sleep tonight
If love could heal what she’s been through
I swear to God, baby, it’d be true
If I could take it all away from you
I would
Verse 2
She don’t mean to break down crying
When the past comes closing in
She’s just tired of surviving
Tired of fighting what’s within
There’s a storm she learned to quiet down
Just to make it through the day
But I see the woman underneath
And she’s stronger than she says
Verse 3 (His Side)
But I ain’t clean as I look these days
Got ghosts I buried wrong
I’ve leaned on things I should’ve left
Just to keep my demons gone
There were nights I chose the numb
Over facing what I’d done
I been runnin’ from my own damn past
Since I was twenty-one
Bridge
I can’t fight her battles for her
And she can’t save me too
But we can stand here in the fire
And chose the truth
