[Verse 1]
We were a promise
Folded in gold
Two little hands
Not meant to let go
Your name in my pocket
Still warm like the sun
I turn every corner
And you’re the one
[Pre-Chorus]
I heard forever
In your goodbye
How did the spring
Learn how to die?
[Chorus]
You were meant to stay
You were meant to stay
Why did love break
On an ordinary day?
I miss you, I do
More than I can say
You were meant to stay
You were meant to stay
[Verse 2]
The cup by the window
Still waits for your laugh
Your chair in the silence
Keeps half of my heart
I tried to be brave
But it falls apart
When I see your coat
Hanging in my dark
[Pre-Chorus]
I heard forever
In your goodbye
How did the spring
Learn how to die?
[Chorus]
You were meant to stay
You were meant to stay
Why did love break
On an ordinary day?
I miss you, I do
More than I can say
You were meant to stay
You were meant to stay
[Bridge]
If I could turn time
I’d run back through the rain
Say don’t leave this story
Leave it all the same
I’d hold on tighter
I’d beg the sky
Please keep his heartbeat
Close to mine
[Final Chorus]
You were meant to stay
You were meant to stay
Why did love break
On an ordinary day?
I miss you, I do
I still call your name
You were meant to stay
You were meant to stay
