Benjamin Hyde - Marguerite Lyrics

I wish I could have known you
Before it took your voice away
It stole your laugh and ability to walk
And replaced it all with pain

I wish I could have heard your jokes
Before it made your body numb
To know your notorious filthy mind
I'd understand where it all came from

If I could take the disease away
Would you have flown with us on our escape
To feel your hand gently placed on mine
Is all I ask from time to time
And I know I'm not alone

I wish you saw my most special days
Watched a show, graduation or a football game
To see your smile made it all worth while
And things might just be the same

I wish I could have seen you dance
With my sister on her wedding day
And met the loves of both our lives
And never left a vacant space

I wish that you could know me as the person that I've become
There's parts of me that I know you've shaped
But you're a part of me that's gone
And it's not fair that you're not here

If I could take the disease away
Would you have flown with us on our escape
To feel your hand gently placed on mine
Is all I ask from time to time
To know I'm not alone
