I want you to stay
But you have no reason to
Why would you stay?
If I’m no good for you

I’ve taken all of you, and I’ve used you up
But I haven’t given you nearly enough
I haven’t given you all of my time
I haven’t put in enough of my effort

I want you to stay
But why would you want to?
I want you to stay
But I can’t force you to

You’ve put up with my shit
Given me every chance
Told me what needs to change if we are to last
I said things would be different, but I didn’t try

I want you to stay
We were supposed to be forever and ever, you and I
But the story has ended, it’s time to move on
Unfortunately for us we are a thing of the past
