All You Had to Do Was Stay Songtext

von Ryan Adams

People like you always want back the love they gave away
People like me wanna believe you when you say that 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

All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand
Why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in
Stay, hey, now you say you want it back now And that it's just too late
Well, could've been easy
All you had to do was stay

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

Stay, all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand
Why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in?
Stay, hey, now you want it back
It's just too late
Well, it could've been easy

All you had to do was stay
Well, it could've been easy
All you had to do was stay
Could've been easy
All you had to do was stay
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
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
