Lyric

If I could stay, I’d hold you close

Say all the words I left untold

But time has turned and you’re not here

Only echoes stay, not years

You looked away, but didn’t leave

That silence carved a wound too deep

I smiled like nothing fell apart

While breaking with a quiet heart

I played the part you needed me

But lost myself in every scene

If I had said just one more line

Would we still be frozen in time?

I walk alone through all we planned

Still reaching out for your hand

If love was ours to rewrite

Would we still say goodbye?

If I could stay, just for a night

I’d turn the pain into light

Hold you once, and let you go

Even if you’ll never know

If love was real, like I believed

Why couldn’t you believe in me?

The words you left still linger here

Like shadows whispered in my ear

I fold your name inside a prayer

And send it through the evening air

I knew your heart, I knew your doubt

But never found the way back out

So if this dream can’t make you turn

Then let me be the one who burns

I trace the steps we used to dance

But now I spin in hollow chance

If time could break, if fate could bend

Would I still lose you again?

If I could stay, just one more day

I'd beg the night not to fade

Breathe your name against the wind

Even if it's lost again

If you could hear what I don’t say

Would you ask me now to stay?

You were the truth I couldn’t hold

A story never fully told

But even if I fall alone

You were the only home I’d known

If I could stay, and not pretend

I’d choose your heart again and again

Kiss the sorrow from your face

Give your silence one more place

If love was wrong, I’d still believe

Because I learned it through your leave

If I could stay…
