Would If I Could

[Verse 1: ERNEST]

You say that you would like to try again

You'd open up your heart and let us back in

Well, part of me wants to so bad, I can't stand it

Part of me wants to be perfectly candid

[Chorus: ERNEST]

I would if I could

But I can't, so I won't, but I want to

I'd love to say, "Yes," but it's best if I don't, though I'd like to

I love you enough that I'm lettin' you go

I love you so much that I'm tellin' you, "No"

I would if I could but I can't, so I won't, but I want to

[Verse 2: Lainey Wilson]

You're tellin' me things would be different this time

I wish your change of heart would change my mind

I want to believe you, I'd try us again

If I really believed there was some future in it

[Chorus: Lainey Wilson, ERNEST, ERNEST & Lainey Wilson]

I would if I could

But I can't, so I won't, but I want to

I'd love to say, "Yes," but it's best if I don't, though I'd like to

I love you enough that I'm lettin' you go

I love you so much that I'm tellin' you, "No"

I would if I could but I can't, so I won't

I would if I could, I do and I don't

[Outro: ERNEST & Lainey Wilson]

I would if I could but I can't, so I won't

But I want to
