Lyrics ZZ Ward – If U Stayed

Boy, I just heard you’re getting married
And it took all the air straight out my lungs
Shit just got real, it kinda scares me
‘Cause I’m finding out letting go ain’t that much fun

When you’re walking down aisle
And when you’re holding on
Onto your brand new child
I hope you think of me
Of everything we had
And everything we couldn’t be

When the day is dark
You know that I can’t help but
Wonder where you are
And wonder if things would be better
If we’d stayed together
If you stayed

Boy, I just can’t carry this burden
And they say that the truth will set you free
But even the words can’t stop this hurtin’
So I guess it’s true, sometimes lies are what you need

When you’re walking down the aisle
And when you’re holding on
Onto your brand new child
I hope you think of me
Of everything we had
And everything we couldn’t be

When the day is dark
You know that I can’t help but
Wonder where you are
And wonder if things would be better

Would we have the life I’d always dreamed about?
Picket fences, cyprus trees outside the house
Candlelights, and the nights, and falling rain
Years go by, but still it’d always feel the same
Or would it be the way it used to, long ago?
The ups and downs, the epic highs, the tragic lows
The endless tears that I would cry all summer long
It’s strange to see the things you start to miss
When they’re all gone

When you’re walking down the aisle
And when you’re holding on
Onto your brand new child
I hope you think of me
And everything we had
And everything we couldn’t be

When the day is dark
You know that I can’t help but
Wonder where you are
And wonder if things would be better
If we’d stayed together
If you stayed
