[bodytext] => If I Could Take the Pain Away February 18, 2004 The gloss in your eyes, Is the pain I feel inside. I cannot cry for you, Take your tears and make them mine. If I could, I would, And I could take shelter in my room, And cry the tears that would have been brought upon you. For no person as sweet as you, Should cry a single tear, Nor feel the way you do. The flinch in your step, Is the pain I have kept. I cannot take that upon myself, Transfer the pain from you to I. If I could, I would, And count the beatings of my heart, And feel the blood that would been brought upon you. For no person as generous as you, Should feel a single pain, Nor look the way you do. The caution in your eyes, Is the fear I hold inside. I cannot take the trip for you, And fall the drop I see. If I could, I would, And tend to mend the hurt I’d feel, And feel the burn that would have been brought upon you. For no person as sacred as you, Should know a single hurt, Nor wait the way you do. The hesitation in your step, Is the wariness I have kept. I cannot make the end come near, And bring this to a long waited stop. If I could, I would, And bring a happily-ever-after, And smile with you when it’s finally over. For no friend as great as you, Should conceive of the truth, And frown as you do.
