Would’ve Stayed

  • Verse 1
    I still see you in my doorway
    Shaking hands, you said goodbye
    Love shouldn’t feel like a landslide
    But you buried me alive

    Now my bed feels like an ocean
    Where I drown most every night
    I keep trying to forget you
    But my chest won’t let me try

    Pre-Chorus
    I would’ve stayed, I would’ve fought
    I would’ve given you everything I got
    But you walked away, left me undone
    Guess I wasn’t your someone

    Chorus
    So I hope you lie awake
    When the moonlight hits your face
    And you feel me like a ghost you can’t escape
    Yeah, I hope your heart still breaks
    Every time you hear my name
    ‘Cause I loved you more than I should’ve
    And you let it slip away
    I would’ve stayed

    Verse 2
    Your hoodie’s still in my closet
    Hanging like a scar you left
    And every time I pass it
    I hear echoes of what’s next

    I’m halfway down my broken road
    But I’m stronger than before
    Guess heartbreak taught me something
    I don’t need you anymore

    Pre-Chorus
    I would’ve stayed, I would’ve fought
    Would’ve built a “Wonderwall,” gave you all I got
    But you walked away, left me undone
    Guess I wasn’t your someone

    Chorus
    So I hope you lie awake
    When the moonlight hits your face
    And you feel me like a ghost you can’t escape
    Yeah, I hope your heart still breaks
    Every time you hear my name
    ‘Cause I loved you more than I should’ve
    But you left anyway
    I would’ve stayed

    Bridge
    One day you’ll feel the weight you made
    But I’ll be gone, too far away
    You’ll wish for just one yesterday
    But I won’t come back to stay

    Final Chorus
    So I hope you lie awake
    When the moonlight hits your face
    And you feel me like a song you can’t erase
    Yeah, I hope your heart still aches
    Every time they press play
    ‘Cause I gave you all that I could’ve
    And you let it go to waste
    I would’ve stayed
