If (Jeannie's Song) Lyrics
All alone in your dirty chair, washin' all your dirty hair
And you're wonderin' how long till they come for you
Watch the lines form on your face and down the block
All the people chase just what you were after,
Before this happened to you
And if I could be the chains I'd fall from you and let you fly to the angels
And if I could be your pain I'd run from you so far away
And if I could turn back time just one day
It might just be enough to say all the things I never said to you
Make the plans to fall in place, only to fall behind in the race
And you can't keep up and I know that it pisses you off
And your roller coaster climbs the hill, up and down, it sure does feel a bit too much
Are you ready to get off
And if I could be the chains I'd fall from you and let you fly like an angel
And if I could be the pain I'd run from you so far away
And if I could turn the time back just one day
It might just be enough to say
All the things I never said to you
What you don't know won't hurt you
What you don't show will kill you
What you don't know won't hurt you
What you don't show will kill you
What you don't show won't hurt you
What you don't show will kill you
And if I could be the chains I'd fall from you
And let you fly like an angel
And if I could be the pain I'd run from you so far away
And if I could turn the time back just one day
It might just be enough to say all the things I never said to you
What you don't know won't hurt you
What you don't show will kill you
And you're wonderin' how long till they come for you
Watch the lines form on your face and down the block
All the people chase just what you were after,
Before this happened to you
And if I could be your pain I'd run from you so far away
And if I could turn back time just one day
It might just be enough to say all the things I never said to you
And you can't keep up and I know that it pisses you off
And your roller coaster climbs the hill, up and down, it sure does feel a bit too much
Are you ready to get off
And if I could be the pain I'd run from you so far away
And if I could turn the time back just one day
It might just be enough to say
All the things I never said to you
What you don't show will kill you
What you don't know won't hurt you
What you don't show will kill you
What you don't show won't hurt you
What you don't show will kill you
And let you fly like an angel
And if I could be the pain I'd run from you so far away
And if I could turn the time back just one day
It might just be enough to say all the things I never said to you
What you don't show will kill you

All I know is, it's about cancer.
I know Butch, this song is about his girlfriend's mother and her experiance with cancer. However, she didn't win the battle :( she died on Christmas of 2002. The last time I saw him perform this song was two days before she died and he cried. It was so upsetting.
i love this fucking song. the line 'if i could be your pain i'd run from you so far away' always gets me
i dont acually think it was chrismas i belive it was befor then because i talked to him at a tower records on december 26 2002 and he said that she had passed a few weeks ago
this song is beautiful, all his songs are beatufiul actually! "And if I could be the chains I'd fall from you And let you fly like an angel" so sad
Beautiful song. He writes truly amazing and powerful music. This one is very touching and deep.
