If you never left, would you still love me today?
Would you be full of regret? Would you be happy you stayed?
If you never left
Staring through the window panes
Thinking what I can’t explain
I wonder if you’re sleeping at night
‘Cause even though you left my bed
You never really leave my head
I see you when I’m closing my eyes
How do we get back there?
Those nights you told me that you were scared
Those times I remember you made me swear
I would’ve followed you anywhere
If you never left, would you still love me today?
Would you be full of regret? Would you be happy you stayed?
If you never left
Would we grow up and change?
Would we fix our mistakes?
Or would they just be the same?
If you never left
Staring out a window. Hey
Drinking every single day
I wonder if you have a good life
‘Cause even though you stole my heart
We never really got that far
I kinda wanna make this alright
How do we get back there?
Those nights you told me that you were scared
Those times I remember you made me swear
I would’ve followed you anywhere
If you never left, would you still love me today?
Would you be full of regret? Would you be happy you stayed?
If you never left
Would we grow up and change?
Would we fix our mistakes?
Or would they just be the same?
If you never left
If I never find you in front of me
I just hope you get where you wanna be
Swear, I always thought it was gonna be you
Times like these, I hope you remember me
I’m still holding onto your memory
I always thought it was gonna be you
If you never left, would you still love me today?
Would you be full of regret? Would you be happy you stayed?
If you never left
Would we grow up and change?
Would we fix our mistakes?
Or would they just be the same?
If you never left
If you never left
If you never left
