All You Had To Do Was Stay

1. 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.

[Chorus:]
(Stay) hey
All you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hands
Then why'd you have to go
And lock me out while I let you in?
(Stay) hey
Now you say you want it back
Now that it's just too late
Well could have been easy
All you had to do was stay.

2. Here you are now calling me up
But I don't know what to stay
I've been picking off the pieces
Off 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.

This was what you wanted
You were all I wanted

[Chorus:]
All you had to do
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
