[Verse 1]
I left the door unlocked
Like maybe you’d come back
Two cups in the sink
Still waiting on your laugh
You said, “I love you”
Like you meant goodbye
But I replayed it different
A thousand times
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I was too late
Maybe you were too tired
But I thought you were the end
Of every fire
⸻
[Chorus]
If you stayed
Would we still be driving with the windows down?
Singing like we owned this broken town
Would we still be chasing what we couldn’t name
If you stayed?
Would I still be lost in your in-between?
Holding on to halfway dreams?
I used to wish you never walked away…
If you stayed
⸻
[Verse 2]
Your hoodie’s in a box
Haven’t touched it in years
It used to wreck me
Now it just feels clear
The tears, the ache, the lonely nights
Led me to a better life
The kind you never could’ve given me
And I finally see…
⸻
[Final Chorus – Twist Hits]
If you stayed
I wouldn’t be waking up to the love of my life
Wouldn’t hear “Daddy” in the morning light
Would’ve missed the joy I get every day
If you stayed
I wouldn’t know what real love means
Or what forever’s really supposed to be
You were the ending that opened the way
And I thank God…
You didn’t stay
⸻
[Outro – Soft, reflective]
You were a chapter, not the page
And I’m grateful now…
You didn’t stay
