Wish you'd Stayed

You left in silence, no goodbye

One more breath, one more why

The clock keeps ticking, but I’m stuck in place

Still hear your laugh, still see your face

We talked about forever late at night

Now I’m holding onto memories too tight

You were the one who always saw me

Now you’re gone, and it haunts me

I wish you’d stayed, I wish you called

You didn’t have to face it all alone

I would’ve listened, I would've come

You didn’t have to go where I can’t follow

You were my heart, now there’s just sorrow

I miss you more than words can say

Wish you’d stayed, wish you stayed

There’s ink on my skin, but scars on my soul

I smile for the world, but I’m never whole

You were more than a friend, you were light

Now I’m just surviving every night

Your birthday’s too quiet, my chest feels tight

You should be here, it doesn’t feel right

I scream in silence, hope you hear

That I love you still, I need you near

I wish you’d stayed, I wish you called

You didn’t have to face it all alone

I would’ve listened, I would've run

Through the fire, just to hold your hand

Now I'm lost, trying to understand

I miss you more than words can say

Wish you’d stayed, wish you stayed

Do you see me now when I cry alone?

Do you know you’re still my home?

I wear your name in every breath

And fight the dark to feel what's left

I wish you’d stayed, I wish you knew

How many pieces I broke into

I would’ve fought, I would’ve prayed

If it meant you could’ve stayed

I miss you more than words can say

Every night, I wish you’d stayed
