Lyrics

If It Were Up To Me

When life gets too cruel and the fairy tale is done
When half your life flew by like a bullet from a gun
When they lift the veil off you to delight in your despair
And all acts of kindness vanish in thin air

You're my way out of hell
The reason I hold on
When defeat had almost broke me
When hope was good as gone
You're the hand that holds me tight
When I start to drift downstream
Or tumbling down a mountain
In the middle of a dream

Chorus
You turned my frown to smiles
Rage to tranquility
I'd give you angel wings
If it were up to me
Took water to my flames
And set my spirit free
Give you the best of everything
If it were up to me

When they try and shoot you down for flying way too high
And no one sees a difference between truth and the lies
When you lose your trust in your only friend
When you're out for the count with a back that barely bends

You keep me from the dark
When things ain't going right
And when demons tap my shoulder
You guide me to the light
It'll take ten lifetimes
To express my love for you
But I'll gladly take the challenge
And show what this man can do

Repeat Chorus
I couldn't love you more than I do
But then again I know I will tomorrow

Repeat Chorus
