Make Me Stay

It dawned on me like a sudden storm
Drenched in the realization that it's not the same anymore
I used to think I could love you for my whole life
But there's a reason that I'm coming over tonight

You took me for granted
I let you take advantage
You wanted easy, baby, and I let you have it
So long my heart's been in this
While you were so indifferent
But now it's ready to break

Now I'm here outside your door
Wish you were better and I could still be yours
But nothing can change that I deserve more
You have no idea of what I'm about to say
Love you but I can't keep on living this way
You can try, I wish you would
Oh, but nothing could make me stay

I sent you love letters when you were away
You barely bothered to turn the page
Bet you could see you're losing me if you took the time
But I'm lying awake grieving while you think we're fine

You misplace the blame
Underneath do you feel ashamed?
I gave you everything and you never did the same
Now for once you're sorry
I bet you're fucking sorry
For what we became

Now I'm here outside your door
Wish you were better and I could still be yours
But nothing can change that I deserve more
You have no idea of what I'm about to say
Love you but I can't keep on living this way
You can try, I wish you would
Oh, but nothing could make me stay

(Make me stay)
(Make me stay)
(Make me stay)
(Make me stay)

Baby won't you try to (make me stay)
Don't just watch me cry please (make me stay)
God, I hope you try to (make me stay)
But I won't lie you can't (make me stay)

Now you're here outside my door
Flowers in your hands and your pride on the floor
But nothing can change that I deserve more
I think I know what you're about to say
Love you but this won't make it all okay
Now you're trying for a change, but it's just too late
Yeah, you might leave here tonight and just curse my name
Oh, it's sad but it's true that nothing you could do
Could make me stay
