If We Could Swap Hearts

If we could swap hearts
I would sit with your pain
Let it break all my bones
Let it drive me insane

If we could swap hearts
I would drown in the ocean
Until I took my last breath
Just to pass your emotion

If we could swap hearts
I would relive every memory
That once tore you apart —
Let your mind rest gently

If we could swap hearts
I’d connect with your babies
I would kiss them goodnight
Send them to heaven so safely

I would give up my life
I would give it for you
If we could swap hearts
There’s not a thing I wouldn’t do.
