If only there was a tomorrow

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.
