You Could Stay

(Stay, if you wanted)
(Say you do, but you're always off runnin')
(You could change)
(Never gonna)
(Didn't bring your bags, saw you leavin' in the mornin')

(So I'm wakin' up alone and smokin' up)
(I'll see your face tomorrow and hope it's gone)
(You know you could stay)
(If you wanted)
(If you wanted)
(If you wanted)

You could stay
If you wanted
Say you do, but you're always off runnin'
You could change
Never gonna
Didn't bring your bags, saw you leavin' in the mornin'

So I'm wakin' up alone and smokin' up
I'll see your face tomorrow and hope it's gone
You know you could stay
If you wanted
If you wanted
If you wanted

I thought that you'd leave, but you started quoting
Songs that we'd sing in my car each morning
Follow the breeze, the leaves fall around us
Fight off the freezing cold with the sound of

Every breath exhaled in this dark room
Burn into me are marks where the sparks flew
Fostering peace, I plead not to argue
Often I think that I hardly know you (know you)

"Where are you going?" I said, but I'm choking
On words that I wish I could throw up (throw up)
Fear that I'm loathing in the depth of my coating
I feel like my brain's 'bout to blow up (blow up)

Hate what I've become, makeup with the seasons
I'll change like the leaves do in Autumn (Autumn)
Just know that I meant this, these words are infectious
I'll sit like a stain when it's all done

Stay
If you wanted
Say you do, but you're always off runnin'
You could change
Never gonna
Didn't bring your bags, saw you leavin' in the mornin'

So I'm wakin' up alone and smokin' up
I'll see your face tomorrow and hope it's gone
You know you could stay
If you wanted
If you wanted
If you wanted

You know you could stay
If you wanted
Say you do, but you're always off runnin'
You could change
Never gonna
Didn't bring your bags, saw you leavin' in the mornin'

So I'm wakin' up alone and smokin' up
I'll see your face tomorrow and hope it's gone
You know you could stay
If you wanted
If you wanted
If you wanted
