You Should’ve Stayed

Lyrics

Intro (soft dark piano, distant pads) I gave you everything you needed You walked away like you ain’t see it Now every night I hear your name But you don’t hear me anymore Verse 1 (piano + light drums) Late nights, you were calling my phone Said you hated sleeping alone Said my love felt different than before I was there when nobody stayed When your whole world started to break Now you act like you don’t know what we were You said forever in the moment But forever never came Now I’m driving through the silence And your voice still in my brain Pre-Chorus (drums build, reverb piano) You had my heart in your hands I would’ve gave you everything But you threw it all away Now the love that you ran from Is the love that you chase Chorus (Catchy Hook) (big drums + piano + bass) Now you calling my name But I’m not there anymore You had heaven with me Now you sleeping alone Girl you don’t understand What you threw away You could’ve had my heart But you should’ve stayed You should’ve stayed You should’ve stayed Now you calling my name But it’s too late Verse 2 (piano + heavier drums) I see your stories late at night You’re pretending that you’re alright But I know that look in your eyes You tried to fill the empty space With strangers you can’t replace But my love still lives in your mind You had the real thing beside you But you let it slip away Now you’re reaching through the silence But there’s nothing left to save Pre-Chorus You had my heart in your hands I would’ve gave you everything But you threw it all away Now the love that you ran from Is the love that you chase Chorus Now you calling my name But I’m not there anymore You had heaven with me Now you sleeping alone Girl you don’t understand What you threw away You could’ve had my heart But you should’ve stayed You should’ve stayed You should’ve stayed Now you calling my name But it’s too late Bridge (piano only, emotional) Maybe one day you’ll remember All the nights I kept you warm Maybe one day when it hits you You’ll realize what you lost But by then I’ll be gone Final Chorus (Big Ending) Now you calling my name But I’m not there anymore You had heaven with me Now you sleeping alone Girl you don’t understand What you threw away You could’ve had my heart But you should’ve stayed You should’ve stayed You should’ve stayed Now you calling my name But it’s too late
