[Verse 1] How could I just let them Take you away from me Whole room full of faces But you’re the only thing I see Arguing with cops on the front lawn Still hear the sirens in my sleep Your bag in the back of that white van And me stuck screaming in the street All the texts I never answered Every night I came home late Thought we had another lifetime Played roulette with our fate Now your picture on the mantle Crooked frame and dusty glass I would trade my pride, my name For one more hour of our past (yeah) [Chorus] How could I just let them take you away from me I replay that moment on a loop, it’s killing me Hands on my head, dropped to my knees I watched ’em drive you out my reach How could I just let them take you away from me Every “it’ll be okay” feels like a lie to me If I had one more chance, I’d fight I’d tear the sky, I’d tear the sky Before I let them take you away from me [Verse 2] Your coffee still in the cupboard That chipped blue mug you loved I keep setting two at the table Then pack your side back up Mom keeps asking how I’m holding I just shrug and change the frame Switch the topic to the weather So I don’t choke on your name I should’ve called that ride for you Should’ve said “just stay inside” Should’ve grabbed your hand and begged you “Baby, please don’t take that drive” All these “should’ve”s like a prison Bars made out of memory Every one another version Where you’re still right here with me (right here) [Chorus] How could I just let them take you away from me I replay that moment on a loop, it’s killing me Hands on my head, dropped to my knees I watched ’em drive you out my reach How could I just let them take you away from me Every “it’ll be okay” feels like a lie to me If I had one more chance, I’d fight I’d tear the sky, I’d tear the sky Before I let them take you away from me
