Ryan Adams - All You Had to Do Was Stay lyrics

People like you always want back The love they gave away And 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 hands 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 it's just too late Well, it could have 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 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 hands Why'd you have to go and lock me out while I let you in? Stay, hey Now you say you want it back It's just too late Well, it could have been easy All you had to do was stay Well, it could have been easy All you had to do was stay Could have 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
