[Intro] Another name is gone, and still the message sounds familiar They talk about the people and the nights they won't forget They talk about the fights, the conversations, all the moments Like they're leaving something they still haven't left behind And maybe that is what you should be listening to [Verse 1] They leave with something good to say Still they turn and walk away All the reasons they could stay Still weren't enough They found a reason to belong They found the people all along Yet somehow something underneath kept telling them to leave [Pre-Chorus] So you ask what you could change What you could rearrange What you could give What you could take away But maybe you've been asking the wrong question anyway [Chorus] What would make them stay? Why do they leave? You keep asking one when the other holds the key If they love the people but still choose to leave Maybe what was broken was underneath [Verse 2] So you change the shape for whoever might be leaving More of this, less of that anything to keep them near Every time you bend the frame you lose a little of the name And if every voice can shape you what was W H C meant to be? [Chorus] What would make them stay? Why do they leave? You keep asking one when the other holds the key If they love the people but still choose to leave Maybe what was broken was underneath [Bridge] They aren't leaving one another That's the part you never see They take the heart they take the memories and leave behind W H C They keep the bonds they keep the flame while nothing here remains the same Until all that's left of W H C is nothing but the name [Final Chorus] What would make them stay? No Why do they leave? Stop asking what you have to change and ask what you refuse to see If they love the people but still choose to leave Maybe what was broken was underneath What would make them stay? Why do they leave? And if every goodbye changes what W H C is meant to be Maybe first you have to know what's underneath
