My eyes
Are swollen shut
As goodbye
Leaves my tongue
I'm trying, is it worth it?
The desire to be perfect for you
But how high
Do you jump for love?
Lay it all on me
Won't you tell me please?
If I was stronger, bolder, wiser
Maybe if I held you closer, tighter
Said the things I never said
Maybe you'd have stayed instead
So give me a reason, leave the light on
Something to believe in, I can fight for
Running out of words to say
God, I wish you would have stayed
(Hey)
(Hey)
(Hey)
Ten months
And I can't outrun (I can't outrun)
'Cause your name
Still holds my tongue (still holds my tongue)
I'm crying 'cause it hurts this
The desire to be perfect for you
And I'm scared
That you were my one
Do you think of me?
What if I had been
Stronger, bolder, wiser?
Maybe if I held you closer, tighter
Said the things I never said
Maybe you'd have stayed instead
So give me a reason, leave the light on
Something to believe in, I can fight for
Running out of words to say
God, I wish you would have stayed
(Hey)
(Hey)
Stronger, bolder, wiser
Oh, I should have held you closer, tighter
Said the things I never said
Maybe you'd have stayed instead
