If I could give you peace
I'd gladly give my soul
If I could wash you clean
I would
If I could make you well
I'd trade my life for yours
To see you home
I'd give it all
Wish upon a wish
Prayer upon a prayer
We've been here
So many times before
The lies you told
The promises you've made
Through it all
I loved you the same
Helplessness is all I've known
The agony of never knowing
If one day the call that I can't face will come
You can't always
You can't always
You can't always
Depend on love
You can't always
You can't always
You can't always
Depend on love
Sometimes it seems
We're on opposing teams
If I could change it all
I wouldn't change a thing
So if I lose my cool
Be patient with me
Hear my voice
Not just my words
We can't always
We can't always
We can't always
Depend on love
We can't always
We can't always
We can't always
Depend on love
When push came to shove
It wasn't enough
We did not sleep on those nights
We can't always
We can't always
We can't always
Choose our sons
If I could give you peace
If I could give you peace
