Would You Have Stayed?

Think I've spent every waking second
Replaying over in my mind everything you said
Or I guess in this case everything you didn't say
Because I crave the closure you denied
And I don't know how to stop asking in my mind, in my mind, in my mind

Would you have stayed if I gave you everything that I own
Would you have stayed even though when we ended you wouldn't pick up the phone
Would you have stayed if I did anything right in your eyes
Because I swear I tried
Every time
Would you have stayed if the timing was better and we weren't separated so quick
Would you have stayed even though I saw a future in you, I don't care that you quit
Would you have stayed if I kept everything in my head and told you nothing at all
Cause I would have stayed even though they heard me crying down the fucking hall

I'd give anything to erase you from my memories
I had given you my heart and you waited for your moment to break it and leave
I'd tape it together and give it to you another time
Because I never learn how to stop asking in my mind, in my mind, in my mind

Would you have stayed if I gave you everything that I own
Would you have stayed even though when we ended you wouldn't pick up the phone
Would you have stayed if I did anything right in your eyes
Because I swear I tried
Every time
Would you have stayed if the timing was better and we weren't separated so quick
Would you have stayed even though I saw a future in you, I don't care that you quit
Would you have stayed if I kept everything in my head and told you nothing at all
Cause I would have stayed even though they heard me crying down the fucking hall

Some loves end, some turn to fossils
If I had my way ours would be forever in a museum
But maybe after all the times I reached out to silence
I'll see our love was more meant for a mausoleum
I often find myself dreaming of days I took for granted
But dreams turn to nightmares
And I can't stand it
I'm left pining and miming made up scenarios in my head
But when I come back to reality my heart drops like lead
Left for dead
A hundred texts, I've penned but never sent
God, they'd kill me if they knew
How many times, I'd open your name
But close before I make a mistake
You wouldn't care, if I poured out my heart
Not that you'd let me get a word in anyways

And I'll never get to ask
Would you have stayed
At least 'til May
Or at least 'til Valentine's Day
What hurts me more is I had no idea it was coming
I was jumping off the cliff but you had stopped running
And I had no clue
That I had lost my muse
And I was a marionette
That you had used
From the day we met
Now I just have to accept, accept
Except
I wish you stayed
For a second or just for another day
No nothing about us made sense together
No you had never said forever
