i was sitting in the chorus room alone, practicing when i felt a tap on my shoulder. i turned around and saw justin. 

he smiled and leaned down to kiss me.

"hey! what are you doing here?" i said.

he smiled, "i wanted to show you a song i wrote for you."

"aw. babe. you're so cute." i ruffled his hair and he smiled.

"i know. now tell me if you like it."

i nodded, "kay."

he sat down and pulled out a guitar.

 If I could take away the pain

And put a smile on your face,

Baby, I would, baby, I would

If I could make a better way,

So you could see a better day,

Baby, I would, baby, I would.

 

I would build a doorway to the sky and hand you the keys, yeah.

Let you know that you're always welcome so that you never leave, oh

Buy you all those fancy things that you only see on TV, yeah

Run away to a hideaway, we'd be living the American Dream

 

And I know it's never gonna be that easy

But I know that it won't hurt us to try, oh.

 

If I could take away the pain

And put a smile on your face,

Baby, I would, baby, I would.

If I could make a better way,

So you could see a better day,

Baby, I would, baby, I would.

 

Wo-oh, wo-oh, wo-oh, baby, I would

 

I would build the love of river wide,

So that it never runs dry, yeah

Anytime you ask me why I'm smiling, say that I'm satisfied

You got your flaws and so do I, past lovers that made you cry

And though I wanna make it right

I just can't read your mind, no.

 

And I know it's never gonna be that easy

But I know that it won't hurt us to try

 

If I could take away the pain

And put a smile on your face,
