[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Final Chorus]
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
