I Would've Stayed

The worst in me saw the best in you

Every red flag that you had I had an excuse

My momma cried on the day we met

'Cause she knows that once my heart is set

No, I don't second guess

I would've stayed side by side

'Til my brown hair turned to gray

Cross my heart and hope to die

I would've gone right to the grave with you

Sad but true, you didn't feel the same

So thank God you left

'Cause damn, I would've stayed

The girl I was settling for less

I'd be giving everything I had to be someone's second best

And you'd never change 'cause you're stuck in your ways

Guess I was too, 'cause when it comes to you (Ooh)

I would've stayed side by side

'Til my brown hair turned to gray

Cross my heart and hope to die

I would've gone right to the grave with you

Sad but true, you didn't feel the same

So thank God you left

'Cause damn, I would've stayed

I would've stayed

I would've stayed

Through every sorry

Every fight

Every tear you made me cry

There's a million reasons why I should've said goodbye

But damn

I would've stayed side by side

'Til my brown hair turned to gray

Cross my heart and hope to die

I would've gone right to the grave with you

Sad but true, you didn't feel the same

So thank God you left

'Cause damn, I would've stayed

I would've stayed

I would've stayed

I would've gone right to the grave with you

Sad but true, you didn't feel the same

So thank God you left

'Cause damn, I would've stayed
