[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
