If You Never Walked Away

Verse 1

I still see you at the end of the hall,

Back turned, no words at all.

The door closed softer than a scream,

But it shattered every dream.

Verse 2

I poured my love into silent hands,

Too proud to ask you to understand.

Now every “what if” haunts my day—

Like a ghost I begged to stay.

Pre-Chorus

And I keep replaying that final scene,

Like maybe I could change what might’ve been…

Chorus

If you never walked away,

Would we be dancing in the kitchen today?

Would your laughter still fill these walls,

Would I catch you every time you fall?

Would we be older, stronger, free—

Or was forever never meant for me?

I don't know what love would've made…

If you never walked away.

Verse 3

I sleep on my side, but the bed feels wide,

Like the space you left won't let me lie.

I wear the smile you used to know,

But it's hollow without your glow.

Pre-Chorus

And I still keep your glass in place,

Like one day you'll walk back in this space.

Chorus

If you never walked away,

Would we have learned how to stay?

Would I have held you through the storms,

Not just when it felt safe and warm?

Would I have spoken every truth,

And laid my fears bare before you?

I can’t undo the price I paid…

For letting you walk away.

Bridge

Maybe you were tired of the silence,

Maybe love just lost its voice.

But if I’d had one last chance,

I would’ve begged, not left you a choice.

Final Chorus (Soft then soaring)

If you never walked away,

I’d be a better man today.

I'd hold you close and never blink,

And tell you all the things I think.

I’d choose you every single day…

If you just… had stayed.
