LyricsWhat I Wouldn't GiveLyrics by Yves Stilmant ©2025 Verse 1A What I wouldn't give to hear your voice, Just one soft word, a gentle sound. A whisper floating through the dark, Would lift me up from where I'm bound. Verse 1B What I wouldn't give to see you smile, The kind that kept my storms at bay. I'd trade the years I've left to live, To see that look just one more day. Pre-Chorus I said I let you go for good, But that was just a well-told lie. You haunt the corners of my heart, The tear I never let them cry. Chorus What I wouldn't give To take it all back, To speak the words I lost Between the cracks. What I wouldn't trade To rewrite one line -- A moment missed, a name unsaid, A chance to call you mine. Verse 2A I still keep your photo near my bed, The one where peace lives in your eyes. I stare at it when I feel low -- It holds the truth that never dies. Verse 2B I never held you in my arms, But I still feel you every day. You're in the silence when I fall, You're in the lines I never say. Pre-Chorus They say the past should fade with time, But yours is carved beneath my skin. You're still the song that softly plays -- And I still ache to let you in. Final Chorus What I wouldn't give To tell you the truth, To show the love I hid Back in my youth. What I wouldn't trade For one real goodbye -- But some regrets will never fade, No matter how I try. Outro So if you ever feel the pull Of something deep and undefined... That's me, just wondering still -- What I wouldn't give. |
| Short Song Description: There are things we live through... and things we carry. "What I Wouldn't Give" is about the words left unsaid -- the moment we let pass, the truth we couldn't speak, and the echo that never stops calling. It's not just about missing someone -- it's about missing the chance to tell them how much they meant. This song is for anyone who's ever replayed a memory, wishing for one more chance... Not to change everything -- just to say what mattered. Some loves don't fade. They simply wait |
