Draft: If Only We Could Redo Goodbyes

Last night I lay in bed
Replaying Friday in my head
Remembering you taking me out with qualifiers

Last night I lay awake
Feeling a funny kind of ache
Just wishing for a way to change what had transpired

Oh why was I so quick to leave
And why were you so quick to let me go?

If only we could redo goodbyes I would've
Hugged back a little tighter
Dawdled a little longer
Spoken a little louder
Held you for a little more of forever

Oh why was I so quick to leave
And why were you so quick to let me go?

Now I'm replaying it
You turned off the engine, stepped out of the car
You know you really didn't have to go that far
Stood around with your hands in your jacket pockets

Now I'm realizing that
You'd planned a conversation, rehearsed your parting words
You'd waited for this chance to speak yet it was just a blur
I wish I had told you my heart was in my throat

Oh why was I so quick to leave
And why were you so quick to let me go?

If only we could redo goodbyes I would've
Hugged back a little tighter
Dawdled a little longer
Spoken a little louder
Held you for a little more of forever

But it's too late, too late
All that's unspoken now trapped inside my head
I can wish all I want but the past is dead and gone

Coz it's too late, too late
I'm still here and now you're half a world away
I know you had no reason left to stay but yesterday

Oh why was I so quick to leave
And why were you so quick to let me go?

If only we could redo goodbyes I would've
Hugged back a little tighter
Dawdled a little longer
Spoken a little louder
Held you for a little more of forever

Oh why was I so quick to leave
And why we're you so quick to let me go?

Why
Can't we redo goodbyes?
