Stay Lyrics

If you want to go then go

If you want to stay then stay

We've been here too many times

To make believe it matters either way

I could linger on the way you tap your fingers on the table

But like rain showers in April, babe, you always just pass through

I could hang on every word you said to me if I were able

I wish that you would stay, but you don't have to

We were always playing games

Like cowards who just can't commit

Been stuck here too many times

To make believe we're ever gonna quit

It's been feathered into fairytales

It's weathering the pages

To welcome it or waste it, babe, you're gonna have to choose

And I wouldn't give the world, but I would miss these sweet exchanges

I wish that you would stay, but you don't have to

I know it isn't perfect

And we both have our doubts

Too scared to lose the ones we're probably better off without

Shouldn't be so easy leaving

I wish I understood

Why we always find ourselves one step away from gone for good

We're at our loneliest together, yeah, it's only me and you

I wish that you would stay, but you don't have to
