If I can, I'd love to take you on for a ride, or maybe for a swim or even fly you to Spain
If I can, I'd love to sing you a song, or maybe we'll dance above the moon or even treat you for an ice cream at noon
If I can, I'd love to walk you home after midnight in June, or maybe we'll laugh to the stories we tell or even just gaze at the stars in your eyes
If I can, I'd love to take you away from this house you've built on misery and tears, where your windows scream of what could have been, where the bleeding past constantly knocks on your doors, where shattered hearts make your bed at night, where cold has been your warmth, and where darkness only sees the light.
But you said, "I'd rather stay so you can learn to love again and I'd rather stay so you will know what happiness really means, to be wise and strong again.
"I'd rather stay and take my time so you can smile and be whole again."
