If I could stay

Verse 1

I saw the silence in your eyes,

The words you carried but never cried.

I should’ve reached out, should’ve known,

But I let you fight your pain alone.

Pre-Chorus

And I replay it all inside my head,

Every “what if” and every word unsaid.

Chorus

If I could stay, would it change the way you feel?

If I could hold you, maybe time could start to heal.

I didn’t see the weight you bore,

Until you closed that final door…

If I could stay, if I could stay—

Would you still be here today?

Verse 2

You left a shadow on these walls,

A haunting echo through the halls.

I’d trade forever just to find,

A way to turn back all the time.

Pre-Chorus

Now I’m drowning in the things I missed,

In every moment I failed to exist.

Chorus

If I could stay, would it change the way you feel?

If I could hold you, maybe time could start to heal.

I didn’t see the weight you bore,

Until you closed that final door…

If I could stay, if I could stay—

Would you still be here today?

Bridge

Maybe love was never loud enough,

Maybe my words just weren’t strong enough.

But if there’s a chance you still can hear,

I’d give my voice to pull you near.

Final Chorus

If I could stay, would it change the way you feel?

If I could hold you, maybe time could start to heal.

I’d break the silence, speak the truth,

Trade my tomorrow to go back with you.

If I could stay, if I could stay—

Would you still be here today?
