People like you always want back The love they gave away And people like me wanna believe you When you say you've changed The more I think about it now The less I know All I know is that you drove us Off the road
(Stay) hey, all you had to do was stay Had me in the palm of your hand, then Why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in? (Stay) hey, now you say you want it back Now that it's just too late, well, could've been easy All you had to do was (stay)
All you had to do was (stay) All you had to do was (stay) All you had to do was (stay) All you had to do was (stay)
Here you are now, calling me up But I don't know what to say I've been pickin' up the pieces Of the mess you made People like you always want back The love they pushed aside But people like me are gone forever When you say goodbye
(Stay) hey, all you had to do was stay Had me in the palm of your hand, then Why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in? (Stay) hey, now you say you want it back Now that it's just too late, well, could've been easy All you had to do was (stay)
All you had to do was (stay) All you had to do was (stay) All you had to do was (stay, stay, stay, stay)
