Should’ve Stayed

I should've stayed here still in the morning;

Staring at this empty room;

Your picture on my phone still lighting up the gloom;

I'm replaying every choice, every road I chose;

Now I'm sitting here alone, wishing time could froze, yeah;

I asked your grandpa what to do;

Thought he knew what love could see;

He said, leave children someday;

But my heart kept begging me;

I should've listened to that voice;

Instead of everybody else;

Cause even when I wiped away;

I never really left myself;

Girl, every mile between us;

Still beats me back to you;

A broken man with open hands;

Just hoping love shines through;

I should've stayed;

When my heart was cold;

Don't walk away;

I traded forever for somebody else's words;

Now every sunrise only brings more hurt;

I should've fought;

Not with my hands;

But with my heart;

Cause real love ain't a fight;

It's about never letting go inside;

Baby, I should've stayed;

After everything we've been through;

You still answer my call;

When I was stuck in Johnstown;

You drove through it all;

Six long hours from Philly;

That kind of love is something few will ever know;

I know I hurt you;

And I'll never replace that pain;

If I could rewrite yesterday;

I'd love you a different way;

You were there whenever I fell;

Even after we fell;

And that's the part that breaks me;

You never left my heart;

If I could borrow yesterday;

I'd hold you tighter than we before;

No more lasting to the world;

I'd be standing at your door;

I'd use a soul for every voice;

Every town, every field;

′Cause home was never just a place;

You was whenever you were near;

China should′ve stayed;

Instead of letting someone else decide our fate;

Now I'm counting every tear;

Every lonely night;

Praying somehow I can make it right;

Should′ve stayed;

′Cause love like you;

Won't come around twice;

Heaven gives me one more chance;

I'll spend forever proving;

That I learned what love really is;

Should've stayed;

Never should've walked away;

My heart never left;

It never left you;

Ooh, I should've stayed;

Should've stayed;

Should've stayed, should've stayed;

Should've stayed, I should've stayed;

Should've stayed;

I should've stayed;

Should've stayed, should've stayed;
