"Wish You Would've Stayed" lyrics
I tried to take a chance and open up
To try to fall and love
But every time I kept on getting closer I would feel a tug
Whisper in my mind from my thoughts that I'm not enough
Happiness I'll never find I think it's time to give it up
I tried to give you what you need
I left you incomplete
Apologize for all the times when I was being mean
When I told you I don't want you really I just couldn't see
A future where somebody good as you would be with me
So out of fear I ruined everything any shot I had
You moved on now I'm crying wishing I could take it back
You the only girl that helped me not the think about the past
Now you gone and everything around me turning into black
And I'm knowing it's my fault
That I got nobody blame
I'm not surprised cause all I fucking do is keep making mistakes
Then I'm drowning in my sorrows screaming I just wanna change
But there's nothing I can do to make you wish you would've stayed
Damn I wish you would've stayed
I wish you would've stayed
Drowning in my sorrows screaming I just wanna change
Nothing I can do to make you wish you would've stayed
I know that you are happier that I'm not in your life
If I said the same for me we both would know that that's a lie
An attempt to cover up the feelings that I love to hide
Since the day I made you leave it has been killing me inside
Damn you probably got a man that treats you well
And loves to buy you things
Probably got a crib a couple kids a couple diamond rings
All I ever got you was a mockingbird that never sang
I never gave you any chance to ever fall in love with me
I built a wall and never took the shot to break it down
You started coming close and I could see it where it was heading out
Knowing that I'd end up getting hurt but wasn't knowing how
Decided I would give it up I wish that I did it different now
Alone and in my room
Never find someone like you
Never find someone who cares for me the way that you would do
On that day I said we through
Was the day that I would lose
That part of me that gave me any hope
Of finding truth
To try to fall and love
But every time I kept on getting closer I would feel a tug
Whisper in my mind from my thoughts that I'm not enough
Happiness I'll never find I think it's time to give it up
I tried to give you what you need
I left you incomplete
Apologize for all the times when I was being mean
When I told you I don't want you really I just couldn't see
A future where somebody good as you would be with me
So out of fear I ruined everything any shot I had
You moved on now I'm crying wishing I could take it back
You the only girl that helped me not the think about the past
Now you gone and everything around me turning into black
And I'm knowing it's my fault
That I got nobody blame
I'm not surprised cause all I fucking do is keep making mistakes
Then I'm drowning in my sorrows screaming I just wanna change
But there's nothing I can do to make you wish you would've stayed
Damn I wish you would've stayed
I wish you would've stayed
Drowning in my sorrows screaming I just wanna change
Nothing I can do to make you wish you would've stayed
I know that you are happier that I'm not in your life
If I said the same for me we both would know that that's a lie
An attempt to cover up the feelings that I love to hide
Since the day I made you leave it has been killing me inside
Damn you probably got a man that treats you well
And loves to buy you things
Probably got a crib a couple kids a couple diamond rings
All I ever got you was a mockingbird that never sang
I never gave you any chance to ever fall in love with me
I built a wall and never took the shot to break it down
You started coming close and I could see it where it was heading out
Knowing that I'd end up getting hurt but wasn't knowing how
Decided I would give it up I wish that I did it different now
Alone and in my room
Never find someone like you
Never find someone who cares for me the way that you would do
On that day I said we through
Was the day that I would lose
That part of me that gave me any hope
Of finding truth
