Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] If you stayed, we’d have rocked that old porch swing, Watched fireflies dance, heard the crickets sing. If you stayed, we’d have carved our names in the oak, A little house, a little hope, wrapped in the life we spoke. [Chorus] If you stayed, we’d have had that firstborn cry, A picket fence under a Tennessee sky. If you stayed, we’d have chased dreams down the lane, Made good memories to ease the pain. But you didn’t, and I’m lost in this life without you. [Verse 2] If you stayed, there’d be coffee in the early light, Your laughter echoing through the quiet night. If you stayed, there’d be muddy boots by the door, A life we dreamed of, nothing less, nothing more. [Prechorus] But the wind carries whispers I can’t outrun, A hollow tune of what we’ve left undone. [Chorus] If you stayed, we’d have had that firstborn cry, A picket fence under a Tennessee sky. If you stayed, we’d have chased dreams down the lane, Made good memories to ease the pain. But you didn’t, and I’m lost in this life without you. [Bridge] Now the bed’s too big, and the house too still, Every shadow’s a ghost I can’t kill. The future’s a stranger, the past won’t let go, If you stayed, maybe I’d still know.
