If He Would’ve Stayed

[Verse 1]
Would I smile more?
Would I be warmer?
Be one of those people
Who could light up a room?
Would I be as lonely?
Would I feel protected?
Would I be confident?
A little less confused?

[Chorus]
If he would've stayed
Would I have all these questions?
Like God, how could he leave?
And just who would I be?
If he would
If he would've stayed

[Verse 2]
I've always wondered
Would I dance more?
And love without bein'
Afraid of gettin' burnеd
Would I apologize for who I am?
Would I let peoplе in?
Would I follow my heart
Even if it hurt?

[Chorus]
If he would've stayed
Would I have all these questions?
Like God, how could he leave?
And just who would I be?
If he would
If he would've stayed

[Bridge]
If he hadn't walked out the door
When I was three years old
Leavin' us alone
A memory I hold

[Verse 3]
Would I be strong now
Like my mama?
And rise up from the ashes
When you were gone?
And stand up here
Pourin' my heart out in a song?

[Outro]
If he would've stayed
If he would
If he would've stayed
