If Only

See it on your face
The last thing that you need
Is another cliche
Of "how to be brave"
Or "maybe there's another place"
Heard that it's enough
To just be there
For one's deepest, darkest days
As I see you in utter despair
I wish I had more to say

If only I could
Find some source of healing
I'd share it with you
For the rest of your life
And maybe for a moment
Find solace through the sorrow
Enough to finally fall asleep at night

Linger on in the shower
Knowing what awaits
Hang my head in shame
As I make amends at a wake
Learning how to cope through
Now-one-sided anecdotes
The joy infinite
Gone in an instant
It always hurts like hell like this

If only I could
Find some source of healing
I'd share it with you
For the rest of your life
And maybe for a moment
Find solace through the sorrow
Enough to finally fall asleep at night

I'll do my best
To make myself useful
I'll do my best
To pass along the beautiful
As the tragic becomes the usual

If only I could
Find some source of healing
I'd share it with you
For the rest of your life
And maybe for a moment
Find solace through the sorrow
Enough to finally fall asleep at night

If only I could sleep tonight
I'd maybe find some peace alive
