Lyrics

The hallway light kept burning long after I was gone
You waited in the quiet while the nights kept moving on
I told myself the work I did was worth the time we lost
But every empty evening shows me now what it all cost
I thought the world would crumble
If I ever slowed my pace
If I had stayed
You would have known you were the center
Of every dream I chased in circles
While you held our world alone
If I had stayed
Maybe the years would feel much softer
Maybe the house would still remember
All the love we should have grown
Your coffee getting colder while I answered every call
You held the days together, I was barely there at all
And now I see the photographs where I'm a fading ghost
A man who loved you deeply but was never really close
I thought I'd fix it later
But later's gone for good
If I had stayed
You would have known you were the center
Of every dream I chased in circles
While you held our world alone
If I had stayed
Maybe the years would feel much softer
Maybe the house would still remember
All the love we should have grown
I wish I'd learned that presence
Means more than any plan
The world keeps turning anyway
Without the things we think we need to stand
If I had stayed
I'd hold your face a little longer
I'd let the quiet say the truth
I never found the time to show
If I had stayed
Maybe you'd know what always mattered
And I'd be standing here beside you
Not a memory letting go
