IF I COULD STILL BE YOURS

IF I COULD STILL BE YOURS


[Intro – Soft Piano and Acoustic Guitar]
[Verse 1] I still remember waking up beside you The little things that made me fall The way you held me close and kissed me Like I was the only one you'd ever want
I remember all the dreams we whispered All the plans we thought we'd see come true I never thought I'd be the one leaving God knows I never wanted to lose you
[Verse 2] I loved you with a heart wide open I gave you more than you could know I held on through the hardest seasons Even when I had nowhere left to go
I kept believing in the man I married The one who made me feel alive I searched for him in every lonely moment And wondered where that man had gone in time
[Chorus – Emotional, Powerful Female Vocals] If I could still be yours, I'd want to be If love alone could bring you back to me I'd take your hand and dream those dreams again I'd find my way back to where we might have been
I still miss you, God, I wish I didn't There's so much love I never got to give I didn't leave because I stopped loving you I left because I couldn't keep living like this
And if I could have the man I fell in love with The one I thought would always stay I'd give anything to feel that love again Without the hurt that took it all away
[Verse 3] I miss the laughter in the middle of the evening The silly things that made us laugh until we cried I miss having someone there beside me I miss the man I thought would be there for life
And sometimes I still reach for the memories Of the love I thought we'd always know I wish that love had been enough to save us I wish we hadn't lost the things we used to hold
[Chorus – Stronger Vocals] If I could still be yours, I'd want to be If love alone could bring you back to me I'd take your hand and dream those dreams again I'd find my way back to where we might have been
I still miss you, God, I wish I didn't There's so much love I never got to give I didn't leave because I stopped loving you I left because I couldn't keep living like this
And if I could have the man I fell in love with The one I thought would always stay I'd give anything to feel that love again Without the hurt that took it all away
[Bridge – Quiet, Vulnerable Female Vocals] I never wanted to be strangers I never wanted separate lives I wanted gray hair on the front porch And your hand holding mine
I wanted us to grow together I wanted forever to be true I wanted to be your wife forever I wanted all my tomorrows with you
But loving you was never my problem And walking out was never what I dreamed I just couldn't keep losing myself Trying to hold on to what we used to be
[Final Chorus – Big Emotional Country Ballad] If I could still be yours, I'd want to be If you could love me without breaking me I'd give my heart another chance to believe That the love we dreamed of was still within reach
I still love you, and that's the hardest part You don't just turn off a forever in your heart I didn't leave because I wanted someone new I left still loving the man I thought I knew
And somewhere underneath this broken heart There's still the girl who wanted you Who dreamed of growing old together And believed that we'd make it through
[Outro – Soft Piano and Steel Guitar] I wish we'd made it... I wish love had been enough... I wish I could still be yours...
Because even after everything... A part of me still wishes We could have been forever.
