I didn’t know that door was gonna follow me. You were sittin’ on the floor with your back to the couch Tryin’ to fix that old radio you wouldn’t throw out I said I’d be right back, just needed a minute Grabbed my jacket, left my phone where I’d been sittin’ You asked me if I was stayin’ the night I said “I don’t know” like it didn’t matter You rolled your eyes, laughed under your breath I walked out already halfway gone I drove to the end of the street and stopped Left the engine runnin’ like a bad habit Told myself I needed to clear my head But all I really needed was to turn around I should’ve stayed on that floor with you Should’ve let the room say what I wouldn’t Should’ve turned back when my hand hit the door Instead of callin’ it “steppin’ out” I should’ve stayed Yeah, I should’ve stayed Your coffee cup’s still in my sink Crack on the side you said gave it character Your shirt still hangs behind my door I treat it like it’s not even there I go to work, come home worn thin Eat whatever’s close enough to grab Scroll past your name every night Like it don’t sit heavy in my chest I still hear your voice in the other room Even when the house won’t make a sound Still reach out when I wake up Then remember I’m not allowed to I should’ve stayed on that floor with you Should’ve quit pretendin’ I was fine Should’ve said one real thing out loud Instead of leavin’ it all inside I should’ve stayed I should’ve stayed I don’t know if you’d answer now Don’t know if you’d even care I just know I left too easy Like leavin’ didn’t cost a thing I should’ve stayed on that floor with you Now I’m stuck with the man I became I left like nothin’ would change that night But nothin’s felt right since I should’ve stayed I should’ve stayed That radio’s probably gone by now Or maybe you finally fixed it Either way, it’s not here And neither are you …neither are you.
