Lyrics

If You'd Only Stayed
Writer - Ed Bentley edbentley@mail.com
(Verse 1)
The coffee's cold beside your chair
Your picture's still hanging there
Funny how this little room
Still remembers more than you
I keep reaching for your side
Like you're only gone tonight
Then the silence says your name
And nothing feels the same
(Pre-Chorus)
Some doors never really close
Even when they're gone...
(Chorus)
If you'd only stayed
Maybe we'd be dancing in this kitchen now
Laughing at the little things somehow
Maybe all these empty walls
Wouldn't echo when I call
Maybe I'd still know the woman I was yesterday
If you'd only stayed
(Verse 2)
I still drive the long way home
Past the places we called our own
Every season comes and goes
But this heart just doesn't know
How to leave what could have been
Some stories never reach the end
(Bridge)
I don't need forever now
I just wonder who we'd be
If one goodbye had never found us
If love had let us breathe
(Final Chorus)
If you'd only stayed
Every dream we had could've come alive
Maybe we'd still be right here tonight
Maybe all these shattered plans
Would still be resting in your hands
Maybe I wouldn't have to wonder every day
What life would've looked like...
If you'd only stayed
(Tag - whispered)
If you'd only stayed...
