"If You Stay" lyrics

You could leave me now
Well, I'm not here to hear you walk out
Across that hardwood floor in this old house
There's something about the sound it makes
Makes a heart break

You could be gone by tonight
There's no such thing as a good goodbye
If you think I'd be lonely, you're only damn right
I know in my mind that you could
Be gone for good

Or, baby, you could stay
There's so many things I need to say
The things I should have told you every day
Starting with the way that I love you, and I'm not through
Girl, you are my only need
The reason that I even care to breathe
As much as I want you here with me
I can't promise there won't be a little rain
But if you stay

Today I'll start
Being the same one who won your heart
Be the me who could reach deep in the dark
And catch you a star
Heaven knows you're free to go

Or, baby, you could stay
There's so many things I need to say
The things I should have told you every day
Starting with the way that I love you, and I'm not through
Girl, you are my only need
The reason that I even care to breathe
As much as I want you here with me
I can't promise there won't be a little rain
But if you stay, I'm gonna make you glad you did

Girl, you are my only need
The reason that I even care to breathe
As much as I want you here with me
I can't promise there won't be a little rain
But if you stay
If you stay
If you stay
