[Chorus]
If I could take away the pain and put a smile on your face
Baby I would, baby I would
If I could make a better way so you could see a better day
Baby I would, baby I would

[Verse 1]
I would build a doorway to the sky and hand you the keys, yeah
Let you know that you're always welcome so that you never leave, oh
Buy you all those fancy things that you only see on TV, yeah
Run away to a hideaway, we'd be living the American Dream

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it's never gonna be that easy
But I know that it won't hurt us to try, oh

[Chorus]
If I could take away the pain and put a smile on your face
Baby I would, baby I would
If I could make a better way so you could see a better day
Baby I would, baby I would

[Verse 2]
I would build the love of river wide so that it never runs dry, yeah
Any time you ask me why I'm smiling, say that I'm satisfied
You got your flaws and so do I, past lovers that made you cry
And though I wanna make it right, I just can't read your mind, no
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it's never gonna be that easy
But I know that it won't hurt us to try, oh

[Chorus]
If I could take away the pain and put a smile on your face
Baby I would, baby I would
If I could make a better way so you could see a better day
Baby I would, baby I would

[Bridge]
Yeah, it's not about what I want, it's all about what you need
I know that he hurt you, but that wasn't me
And I know and I know sometimes it's hard to see
That I'm where you need to be, oh

[Chorus]
If I could take away the pain and put a smile on your face
Baby I would, baby I would
If I could make a better way so you could see a better day
Baby I would, baby I would
