If He Would've Stayed

Would I smile more? Would I be warmer? Be one of those people Who could light up a room? Would I be as lonely? Would I feel protected? Would I be confident? A little less confused? If he would've stayed Would I have all these questions? Like God, how could he leave? And just who would I be? If he would If he would've stayed I've always wondered Would I dance more? And love without bein' afraid of gettin' burned Would I apologize for who I am? Would I let people in? Would I follow my heart Even if it hurt? If he would've stayed Would I have all these questions? Like God, how could he leave? And just who would I be? If he would If he would've stayed If he hadn't walked out the door When I was three years old Leavin' us alone A memory I hold Would I be strong now Like my momma? And rise up from the ashes When you were gone? And stand up here Pourin' my heart out in a song? If he would've stayed If he would If he would've stayed
