[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
When 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 eyes
If I could do it for you
Then I would say goodbye, goodbye

[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
