lyrics

If you just stayed, I would’ve made a life in you
Hurts like a blade you don’t feel the way I do
You just made it harder, to mend my heart
I bleed, I bleed

We want to say the truth but choke up when we go to speak
You just hid yourself on the highest shelf
Out of reach, no I can’t reach

If only you had stayed
If only you had stayed
I wonder where we’d be by now
I wonder where we’d be by now

Would you be in my arms lying on the couch?
Or would you cause me harm and feel me with doubt?
As the days go by, I wish I knew why
You’re gone, you’re gone

Was it I just wasn’t what you want?
As the feelings fade, a strangers made
From you, from you

If only you had stayed
If only you had stayed
I wonder where we’d be by now
I wonder where we’d be by now

Ohh
Ohh

If only you had stayed
If only you had stayed
If only you had stayed
