what if?
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Writing all these songs is ruining my mental health
I might be dead when I'm done
Lingering on all the pain that night had made me felt
I couldn't see through the storm
'Cause love wasn't enough
Yeah, I wasn't enough
What if we stayed just for the night?
And let them go home without saying goodbye
What if we stayed, just you and I
But I'd know that things would get harder with time
What if we stayed?
What if we stayed?
What if we stayed?
But I'd know that things will get better with time
Sitting upstairs
While you're packing your wares
I don't know how I got here
Then you come up
It's finally done
You ask for a kiss and you run
'Cause love wasn't enough
Yeah, I wasn't enough
What if we stayed just for the night?
And let them go home without saying goodbye
What if you stayed, just you and I
But I know that things would get harder with time
What if we stayed?
What if you stayed?
What if you stayed?
But I pray that things will get better with time
Love's not enough to dig through the struggle
Marriage requires particular muscle
