You Can't Stay

I wasn’t built for the back burner

Don’t try to save me for a rainy day

You come in like a thunderstorm

You blow out like a hurricane (you’re like a hurricane)…

WHY DO YOU SAY GOODBYE, THEN STAY A LITTLE LONGER

I CAN’T EVEN CLOSE THE DOOR

WHY DO YOU MAKE ME CRY THEN TAKE AWAY YOUR SHOULDER

I DON’T WANNA LIVE ALONE ANYMORE.

I did all I could to treat you good

I never even took a holiday

But now I’m saying all the things I should

It’s time to shoot it straight (it’s time to shoot it straight)…

WHY DO YOU SAY GOODBYE, THEN STAY A LITTLE LONGER

I CAN’T EVEN CLOSE THE DOOR

WHY DO YOU MAKE ME CRY THEN TAKE AWAY YOUR SHOULDER

I DON’T WANNA LIVE ALONE ANYMORE

THE TRUTH IS THERE’S SOMEONE WAITING

AND I DON’T WANT TO TURN HIM AWAY

SO YOU CAN’T STAY.

SO YOU CAN’T STAY.

You had my heart but you let it slip away

Now you’re coming back around and you can’t stay.
