If
If
Collin Gibboney
If I were smarter
I would tell you what the problem is
And tell you every skill to get rid of it
I would teach you to cope
If I were smarter
If I were more compassionate
I would know the words to say
I would know when to hug
And when to pull away
If I were more compassionate
If I were more empathetic
I would know exactly how you feel
Even though I’ve never experienced it
I would KNOW what you’re feeling
If I were more empathetic
If I were your friend
I would be there for you
No matter what
I won’t always know what to say
I won’t always know when to pull away
And I won’t always know how you feel
But I will try
And be there with you
Always
If I were your friend
I am your friend
