[Verse 1]
What am I supposed to say?
I wanna look you in the eyes and tell you it's okay
But I can't, it hurts to know
At the end of the day, all I can do is hope
Hope to my core
'Cause I don't know anymore
Thought that heroes don't fall out the sky

[Chorus]
That was before you got sick
Before they found out
Before when everything was perfect
But now it's all upside down
Oh, if God could grant me one wish for today
I would take your pain
Let me take your place right now

[Verse 2]
Every night, and every day
You were fighting but you never showed it on your face
I don't know what I would do
Baby, I would be so lost if I ever lost you
Oh, in my dreams
There I used to see
From a distance, I'd watch you fly

[Chorus]
That was before you got sick
Before they found out
Before when everything was perfect
But now it's all upside down
Oh, if God could grant me one wish for today
I would take your pain
Let me take your place right now

[Bridge]
I wanna hold all of your tears
And use them all to wash away the hurt
I wanna save you from your fears
Just to get you back the way you were

[Outro]
Before you got sick
Before when everything was perfect
But now it's all upside down
Oh, if God could grant me one wish for today
I would take your pain
I would take your place right now
Oh, if God could grant me one wish for today
I would take your pain
I would take your place right now

Charlie Puth

Charlie Puth is an American singer-songwriter who started by making and covering songs on his YouTube channel. His big break came when he was featured on the Furious 7 song “See You Again,” which he had written for a friend who passed away in a similar accident. The song reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for twelve weeks, becoming the longest-running rap number one along with Eminem’s “Lose Yourself.” The song’s iconic music video was also the most viewed video on all of YouTube for a short amount of time when it passed PSY’s “Gangnam Style” in July 2017.

His first project, The Otto Tunes, was released in 2010, with the title being a play on his middle name, Otto, and autotune. His second release, Ego, was also self-produced and dropped in October 2013.

His major-label debut Nine Track Mind was released January 29, 2016, and lead single “Marvin Gaye” with Meghan Trainor topped the charts in the UK and reached the top twenty-five in the US, peaking at #21. His next single “One Call Away” fared even better, hitting #12 in the US and establishing Puth as a full-blown star as opposed to a two-hit wonder. A deluxe edition of the record was released in November 2016.
