I watched you leave  
But I didn’t stop you  
Held my pride  
Like it could hold you too
I thought you'd read between the lines  
But silence can’t replace a hand  
I smiled and waved, said "take your time"  
But I never meant goodbye like that
If I had said it then  
Would you have stayed?  
If I had dropped my guard  
And let the fear fade  
Maybe you would’ve known  
What I meant all along  
But I let the words drown  
Now you’re already gone
I still make two cups in the morning  
Still check my phone at night  
But your name’s not there  
Just my voice in the quiet
If I had said it then  
Would you have stayed?  
If I had touched your hand  
Instead of walking away  
Maybe you would’ve known  
You were my only one  
But I let the words drown  
Now the silence won
Some things hurt more when you don’t say them  
Some love ends not with a scream, but a sigh
And I still think of you  
Not as a memory  
But as a moment  
I should’ve kept
