[Verse 1]
He only calls you pretty
When he puts his hands on your body
When he's drunk with his friends after nights that don't end
I just wish he'd come home from that party
You've got these big, brown eyes
You've got the perfect smile
But you're a dreamer, you think that he's a keeper
But he's just a waste of time
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't wanna let him down
You don't see the higher ground
[Chorus]
If I could, if I could take your place
Then I would, then I would walk away
But I'll be your shoulder to cry on
Wipe the tears from your еyes
If I could do it for you
Then I would say goodbye, goodbyе
[Verse 2]
It hurts me to watch you suffer
It's been drivin' me insane
You don't know the love you have to give
And the beauty in your brain
[Pre-Chorus]
But you don't wanna let him down
I wish you could see the higher ground
[Chorus]
And if I could, if I could take your place
Then I would, then I would walk away
But I'll be your shoulder to cry on
Wipe the tears from your eyes
If I could do it for you
Then I would say goodbye, goodbye
I would say goodbye, goodbye
I would say goodbye
[Bridge]
I'm tired of your lies
And if you don't get it right
I'm leaving you tonight
I would say goodbye
I'm tired of your lies
And if you don't get it right
I'm leaving you tonight
[Chorus]
If I could, if I could take your place
Then I would, then I would walk away
But I'll be your shoulder to cry on
Wipe the tears from your eyes
If I could do it for you
Then I would say goodbye
Wish I could do it for you
I wish I could say goodbye

Found a voice memo from the day Ben Abraham and I wrote “If I Could”.

What have the artists said about the song?
It’s kind of a letter to my friends, letting them know how much love I think they deserve, which is way more than some of them accept sometimes. Watching that happen, especially since I’m from a really small town and we’re all in high school so sometimes you just take what you can get, even though y...

What have the artists said about the song?
A song that has taken on so many different meanings since the day Ben and I wrote it in LA, summer of 2019. Still, I will never forget the way my heart sank watching someone I love sell themselves short in a relationship. I felt like I couldn’t do anything about this hopelessness but write… & I’...
What have the artists said about the song?
My friend was being wronged and getting something less than she deserved from her boyfriend. So many people believe they deserve less than they do. The song became a reminder we deserve more.

What have the artists said about the song?
Releasing “If I Could” is like letting a bunch of strangers read my diary. It’s terrifying and slightly invasive, but I knew if I was bold enough to release it, the song would be an honest description of such a hopeless and frustrating feeling too many people experience with their best friends. And...
