Verse 1
Your shoes are by the doorway where you kicked them off that night,
I still trace the creases in your jacket just to feel you in the light.
Your laugh is in the corners of this quiet, hollow room,
And I swear I feel your footsteps, but they fade into the gloom.
The world keeps going forward, but I’m stuck on yesterday—
Trying to breathe inside a life that stole your breath away.
Pre-Chorus
I talk to shadows on the walls
like somehow they might talk back…
Because anything is better
than admitting you’re not coming back.
Chorus
If only there was a tomorrow,
one more dawn we could borrow—
I’d hold your face in trembling hands
and beg the sun to wait.
I’d trade the whole world just to stand
with you at heaven’s gate.
If only there was a tomorrow…
I wouldn’t carry all this weight.
Verse 2
They told me time would soften this, that grief would lose its bite,
But they don’t see me whispering “good morning” into the night.
Your pillow still remembers you; mine just knows the tears—
And every empty holiday becomes another year.
I saved the last voicemail you left—
your voice so warm and unaware
that it would be the final time
I’d ever hear you there.
Pre-Chorus
If love could bargain with the stars,
I’d rewrite everything they planned—
I’d fight the heavens with nothing
but your name inside my hands.
Chorus
If only there was a tomorrow,
one more breath I could borrow—
I’d tell you every truth I hid,
every fear I never said.
I’d lay my heart before you
just to bring life to the dead.
If only there was a tomorrow…
I wouldn’t be talking to your bed.
Bridge
Sometimes I swear I feel you—
like a warmth behind my spine,
A quiet, tender whisper
saying, “Love… you’re still mine.”
But then the cold comes back again,
and I remember you are gone—
And I crumble in the silence
that I’ve tried to stand upon.
Final Chorus (gentle, breaking, heartfelt)
If only there was a tomorrow,
I’d run through every sorrow—
I’d hold you through the fading light
and steal you back from fate.
I’d trade a thousand lifetimes
for just one more minute late.
If only there was a tomorrow…
you’d still walk through that gate.
Outro
But tomorrow never answered,
and today feels far too long.
So I keep your love inside me—
the only place
you still belong.
