[Verse 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) All you had to do was (stay) All you had to do was (stay) All you had to do was (stay) All you had to do was stay [Verse 2] Here you are now calling me up But I don't know what to say I've been picking up the pieces Of 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 [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) All you had to do was (stay) All you had to do was (stay) All you had to do was (stay) All you had to do was stay [Bridge] Let me remind you This was what you wanted You ended it You were all I wanted But not like this Not like this, not like this [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) All you had to do was (stay) All you had to do was (stay) All you had to do was (stay) All you had to do was stay
