lyrics

I CAN’T STAY

vs. 1
I could lift you up
But darlin can’t you see
It is just like gravity

vs.2
Like when I’m high on you
When I’m drunk on dreams
The come down always gets the best of me

PRE-CHORUS
Say what you want but it’s nothing to me
I don’t wanna weight on your shoulders don’t want your body
And for a long time, been stuck inside
It’s getting to be too much to carry all the time

CHORUS
So if I were I’d walk away
Cause I’m getting good and saying what you want me to say
It’s getting old and I can’t stay, I can’t stay

Vs 3
I guess that I’m just tired of talking all about it
I wanna feel it sometimes, wanna be someone else

vs.4
So take what you have
Make it into something that
You can hold onto not something that is holding you back

PRE-CHORUS
Say what you want but it’s nothing to me
I don’t wanna weight on your shoulders don’t want your body
And for a long time, been stuck inside
It’s getting to be too much to carry all the time

CHORUS
So if I were I’d walk away
Cause I’m getting good and saying what you want me to say
It’s getting old and I can’t stay, I can’t stay

BRIDGE
Cause I choke on the words that I never say
And I keep making all of the same mistakes
I’ve been meaning to call you been meaning to say

CHORUS
That if I were I’d walk away
Cause I’m getting good and saying what you want me to say
It’s getting old and I can’t stay, I can’t stay
