Lyrics

I never saw your face or name
Only the weight of what I became
You lived inside a borrowed breath
Between a fear and my regret
I was too loud, too blind to see
The life that trusted me with me
I chose the dark, I chose to run
And left you fading with the sun
Every night I count the years
Every dawn I feel you near
If you had stayed, what would you be?
Would you laugh like her? Would you look like me?
I talk to you in silent rooms
In broken prayers and half-lit moons
If you had stayed, I'd know your name
Instead, I carry all the blame
You never cried, you never moved
But still, you changed the truth I knew
She held the pain, I held my pride
And somewhere there, you said goodbye
I tell myself I had no choice
But guilt still hears your missing voice
You were a future I denied
A beating heart I pushed aside
Every step I take away
Brings me closer to that day
If you had stayed, what would you be?
A memory, a possibility
I feel you when I fall asleep
In dreams I'm scared I'll always keep
If you had stayed, I'd make it right
But sorry comes too late at night
I don't ask for forgiveness now
I don't know if I'm allowed
I just hope wherever you are
You never learned who I was
If you had stayed, I'd still be whole
Instead, you live inside my soul
A quiet truth I cannot change
A love that never learned your age
If you had stayed
If you had stayed
This is me
Still talking to you
Still loving you
Still sorry
