Gone

I would've stayed up late with you
If you had only told me you needed someone to talk you out of it.
Even if it took all day and night
I would've talked you out of it.

I would've made you laugh more
If you had only told me how broken you were.
Even if I'm not much good at telling jokes,
I would have told them all for you.

I would've tried harder
If you had only told me how hopeless you felt.
I would've run to the ends of the earth and back
For you I would've done it all.

I would've tried harder
If you had only told me how close you came last night.
Even if I had to cry an ocean with you.
At least you'd still be here.

I would have been your stronghold
If you had only told me you were going to crumble.
I would've built you up
A thousand times stronger.

I would have never abandoned you
If you had only told me how much it hurts.
And now I know how much it hurts.
And it hurts a lot.

I would've stayed with you
If you had only stayed with me.
Even if it was just a little longer.
I wish you would have stayed with me.

I would've told you how much I love you
If you had only told me how worthless you felt.
Even if I had to say it a million times
And I never said it enough,
I could never stop loving you.

I would've talked to you more
If you had only told me how much you missed us.
I would've talked all day and night
If you could just be here right now.

I would've held you
If you had only told me you were going to fall.
And even if you did
I would have broke your fall.

I would've made you smile
If only you had told me how close to tears you were.
I would have mended your broken soul
And made you whole again.

And even after all these years
It still hurts.
And I still miss you.
I will always miss you.
