If There Were Words

[Verse 1]
If there were words
I might try to break the silence
With platitudes and guidance
Saying "time will heal the pain"
If there were words
I might say that I am sorry
Or stop telling you stories
About how loss can be a gain

[Chorus]
But I know there is no better place
I can promise her to be
There is nothing else that I can say
To help you be at peace
When life brings us to our knees
It's hard enough to breathe

[Verse 2]
If there were words
I might speak about her bravery
Every little way she saved me
Picked me up when I was hurt
If there were words
I might wander through the memories
Or count the ways she's with me
How it almost makes it worse

[Chorus]
But I know there is no better place
I can promise her to be
There is nothing else that I can say
To help you be at peace
When life brings us to our knees
It's hard enough to breathe

[Chorus]
But I know there is no better place
I can promise her to be
There is nothing else that I can say
To help you be at peace
When life brings us to our knees
It's hard enough to breathe
