I Would’ve Stayed

[Verse 1]
The worst in me saw the best in you
Every red flag that you had I had an excuse
My momma cried on the day we met
'Cause she knows that once my heart is set
No, I don't second guess

[Chorus]
I would've stayed side by side
'Til my brown hair turned to gray
Cross my heart and hope to die
I would've gone right to the grave with you
Sad but true, you didn't feel the same
So thank God you left
'Cause damn, I would've stayed

[Verse 2]
The girl I was settling for less
I'd be giving everything I had to be someone's second best
And you'd never change 'cause you're stuck in your ways
Guess I was too, 'cause when it comes to you (Ooh)

[Chorus]
I would've stayed side by side
'Til my brown hair turned to gray
Cross my heart and hope to die
I would've gone right to the grave with you
Sad but true, you didn't feel the same
So thank God you left
'Cause damn, I would've stayed

[Post-Chorus]
I would've stayed
I would've stayed

[Bridge]
Through every sorry
Every fight
Every tear you made me cry
There's a million reasons why I should've said goodbye
But damn

[Chorus]
I would've stayed side by side
'Til my brown hair turned to gray
Cross my heart and hope to die
I would've gone right to the grave with you
Sad but true, you didn't feel the same
So thank God you left
'Cause damn, I would've stayed

[Post-Chorus]
I would've stayed
I would've stayed

[Outro]
I would've gone right to the grave with you
Sad but true, you didn't feel the same
So thank God you left
'Cause damn, I would've stayed
