More Than Rubies - I Would See You (feat. Christa Wells)

I wanted you to pretend you were okay
Hold the truth inside you with all the pain
My image was all tied up in you
You were my billboard, you had to make me look good, too
 
I couldn't see what was happening 
How all of your anger was not meant for me
You were hurting and I was blind
When I felt the house fall, I thought all the loss was mine

Oh  I wish I could do what I did not do 
I would dry your sweet tears
I would see you
 
Tell me what it was like to walk a mile
Along that road when you were just a child
I know I'm asking some years too late
But I want to hear you, you can say what you need to say
 
Oh  I wish I could do what I did not do 
I would dry your sweet tears
I would see you

I see the strength of a survivor
And the wisdom of a sage
I see a beauty growing brighter still somehow
And I'm sorry I dismissed you
For the past I cannot change
But I'd really like to walk beside you now

Oh  I wish I could do what I did not do 
I would dry your sweet tears
I would see you
I would see you
Now I see you
