49 Reasons to Stay, 51 to Leave Lyrics

I'm standing at the foot of the bed

You got your head in your hands

And I'm asking what are

You upset about again

You just look up at me

Your eyes are filled with defeat

And I know it's probably

Something that you think I did

I don't ever wanna be like you Dave

I don't ever wanna feel as cold as you do

And I have never been so insulted

You don't care about anything like I do

So I just tell you you never will

And we chalk it up to your morning after pill

You're sitting in the passenger seat

You've got cold cave on repeat

And he's asking what do you

Like about these songs again

You just grit your teeth

You fill your words with deceit

You gotta try your

Best not to make him upset

I just really like the way his voice sounds

And the way that he strings the sentence together

But you can tell that he doesn't buy it

Because when he nods his eyes read whatever

The light then flashes from red to green

And he's left wishing that you would just come clean

But we will never tell you when it's falling apart

Loaded my last round for a shot in dark

And we don't need to tell you but we rarely miss

That's because when you move in silence we can hear your steps

And we don't want to hear about your change of heart

If you meant what you said that would have lead from the start

And we don't really care who you think you are

Because you come around here we will pull your card yeah

I'm sitting at the edge of the bed

You know its empty again

And I'm asking can I

Do another night of this

Hasn't been easy for me

Living in solitary

But you should know that

I'm at least trying my best

But you know I will always find it

When I need it I can't help myself

You know how I like my girls

Soft as silk and mean as hell

But her eyes still fade from blue to green

And I do my best not to pull her under

But we will never tell you when it's falling apart

Loaded my last round for a shot in dark

And we don't need to tell you but we rarely miss

That's because when you move in silence we can hear your steps

And we don't want to hear about your change of heart

If you meant what you said that would have lead from the start

And we don't really care who you think you are

Because you come around here we will pull your card yeah

49 reasons to stay 51 reasons to leave

So pretend you're a saint

I'll keep playing the fool

But it won't go away

We are miserable

And these are the hours

Where you and I play it cool

But you feel so far away

Standing right next to you

We will never tell you when it's falling apart

Loaded my last round for a shot in dark

And we don't need to tell you but we rarely miss

That's because when you move in silence we can hear your steps

And we don't want to hear about your change of heart (49 reasons to stay)

If you meant what you said that would have lead from the start

And we don't really care who you think you are (51 reasons to leave)

Because you come around here we will pull your card yeah

So pretend you're a saint (49 reasons to stay)

I'll keep playing the fool

But it won't go away (51 reasons to leave)

We are miserable

And these are the hours (49 reasons to stay)

Where you and I play it cool

But now we both count the days (51 reasons to leave)

Because you know I love you so
