Should’ve Stayed

Should I stay or be slow jamming;

It′s crazy how one decision can change everything;

I'm sitting here staring at these empty walls tonight;

Rewinding every moment, trying to make it all feel right;

I asked everybody else what I should do;

When the only voice I should've heard;

Was the one that led to you;

Your grandpa looked me in my eyes;

Said, leave, she'll learn someday;

But my heart kept screaming;

Boy, don't walk away;

Let somebody else's wisdom drown my own;

Now every road

I travel somehow leads me home;

And that's the part that hurts the most;

I never really left your soul;

Even when the distance grew;

Every prayer I pray;

Somehow I still found you;

I should've stayed;

Should've fought through every storm instead of walking away;

I let the wrong voices tell me how to love you, babe;

Now all

I got are memories I can't replay;

I should stay;

Cause my heart never packed its bags that day;

You moved away;

But my love never changed;

Now I′m just singing your name;

Wishing I would stay;

Stay, stay, stay you go;

Come back, ooh, come back;

My heart never left, yeah;

Should've stayed, yeah;

Even after everything we have been through;

You still showed me grace

I probably never deserve from you;

I remember when you made that long drive just to come get me;

I was on the road, still choosing not to forget me, yeah;

After the pain

I caused, you still answered when

I needed help;

There's something I'll carry with me;

Every day I look at myself;

Some scars don't disappear with time;

And if I could rewrite those pages,

I'd change mine;

Now you're living somewhere new;

Chasing keys I couldn't get;

I hope your smile is bigger now;

I hope you're really living;

But every sunset reminds me of your face;

Prayer ends with me asking for your grace;

I know apologies don't turn the clock around;

I know broken hearts don't heal from just a sound;

But if these words could feed your soul somehow;

You'll know I still need everyone right now;

I should've stayed;

Should've held your hand instead of letting fear decide;

I listen to everybody;

Except the love we made;

Now forever;

Feels a little too late;

I should stay;

Cause my heart never walked away;

Miles apart, different state;

But I still whisper your name;

If love had a rewind button;

And if not,

I hope one day you hear this song;

And if not,

I hope one night you hear this song;

And if it's not,

I hope one day you'll hear this song;

I know you have always loved me;

I should've stayed;

Instead of letting everybody bite our story;

Should've trusted what my heart already knew;

Nobody knew us like me and you;

Now I'm left with these tears and this empty room;

Still hoping somehow love can bloom;

If I never get home;

Another chance;

If I never get another chance;
