TS' #1989 Lyrics

5. All You Had To Do Was Stay

TS' #1989
5. All You Had To Do Was Stay

[Verse:]

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

[Pre-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

[Chorus:]

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:]

Here you are now calling me up

But I don't know what to stay

I've been picking up 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

[Pre-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

[Chorus:]

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:]

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

[Pre-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

[Chorus:]

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
