Is this a proper expression?

So in a dialog between two characters the one says something like "Yeah, we have this bad problem" and the other guy says:

If that were only the case, I would be overjoyed.

Meaning "If that was the problem, things would be easy, but it is not."

My wife has not heard that expression before so I am wondering if I dreamed it or not.
