Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dear Patrick,
I still catch myself wondering
If you ever picture the life we almost had.
Saturday mornings in sweatpants,
Running late to everything,
Arguing over where to eat,
Then laughing before we even got there.
A house that finally felt like home.
A reason to stop running.
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s strange how forever
Can disappear one choice at a time.
[Chorus]
Dear Patrick,
Do you ever think about the life you let go?
The home that would’ve always been yours.
The woman who would’ve fought beside you.
The peace you kept saying you wanted
But never stopped long enough to find.
Do you ever wonder who Smith would’ve been?
Would he have had your crooked smile?
Would he have laughed just like his sisters?
Would he have begged to throw a Frisbee?
Sometimes I wonder
If you miss the future
More than you miss me.
[Verse 2]
I would’ve been there through the hard days.
The broke days. The bad moods too.
When everyone else got tired of trying,
I was still choosing you.
I saw forever in the ordinary.
Not diamonds, not a perfect plan.
Just growing old beside somebody
Who finally let himself be loved.
[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how the things we chase
Can cost us everything we already had.
[Chorus]
Dear Patrick,
Do you ever miss the future you walked away from?
Family dinners and Christmas mornings.
Inside jokes nobody else would’ve understood.
Watching your girls grow up.
Building something worth coming home to.
The quiet nights.
The messy mornings.
The little things nobody ever posts about.
The kind of life
People spend forever trying to find.
[Bridge]
I wasn’t asking for perfection.
Just honesty… and one reason to stay.
You spent so much time looking
For something better somewhere else.
I wish you’d seen…
You already had enough.
[Final Chorus]
Dear Patrick,
Maybe one day you’ll drive past a little house,
Kids laughing in the yard,
A wife waving from the porch,
Music drifting through an open window…
And for just a second…
You’ll see the life
That could’ve been yours.
Not perfect.
Just ours.
And I hope, for one quiet moment,
You wonder…
What would’ve happened
If you’d simply stayed.
