Lyrics

Funny how the words we throw away
Become the ones that haunt us forever
And silence can become the loudest sound in the room
I still see your picture by my bedside lamp
Still reach for your hand when the night gets cold
Still hear your laughter down these empty halls
Even though you're gone
I was too proud to bend
Too stubborn to understand
Thought love would always wait for me
Now all I hold are memories
I still leave your side of the bed untouched
Still pause when your favorite song comes on
Still keep every letter, every photograph
Though I know you're gone
I wanted you to fight
To stay and make it right
But we let hurt do all the talking
Now all that's left is wondering
What if I listened?
What if I stayed?
What if I swallowed all my pride?
What if I found the words to say?
Would we still be here tonight?
What if we never used those words
That broke the heart of what we were?
What if I held you one more time
Instead of letting love unwind?
What if I listened?
What if I stayed?
What if I fought for us instead of walking away?
What if I apologized
Before the tears filled up your eyes?
Would we still be holding on
Instead of wondering what went wrong?
What if?
I remember every tear upon your face
Every warning I refused to hear
You were reaching out
And I was pulling away
Now I pay the price
For every lonely night
I remember every chance I let slip by
Every moment I chose hurt over grace
You were trying
And I was blinded by the pain
Now the echoes remain
Calling out your name
What if I kissed you
Instead of turning away?
What if I fought harder
Instead of giving up that day?
Maybe forever would have stayed
What if we never used those words
That shattered all our precious worlds?
What if I held you through the storm
Instead of leaving you alone?
What if I listened?
What if I cared?
What if I saw the pain behind the anger that was there?
What if I apologized
And wiped the tears from your eyes?
Would we still be making love
Instead of looking back above
At all the things we lost?
I'd trade every tomorrow
For one more yesterday with you
I'd give every dream I have
Just to hear you say my name again
I never knew goodbye
Would last this long
I never knew regret
Could sing such a lonely song
What if I never left?
What if you never let go?
What if we chose forgiveness
Instead of letting bitterness grow?
What if I held you closer?
What if I loved you better?
What if we realized
That forever needed effort?
What if?
What if?
What if?
What if?
What if?
Would you still be here with me tonight?
Tonight
I'll never know
And silence can become the loudest sound in the room
I still see your picture by my bedside lamp
Still reach for your hand when the night gets cold
Still hear your laughter down these empty halls
Even though you're gone
I was too proud to bend
Too stubborn to understand
Thought love would always wait for me
Now all I hold are memories
I still leave your side of the bed untouched
Still pause when your favorite song comes on
Still keep every letter, every photograph
Though I know you're gone
I wanted you to fight
