Stay

I wish we could talk this over
And maybe work things out
Instead of standing in here yelling
And reaching for the keys

I wish it wasn’t so hard
To look each other in the eye
Instead of staring at the floor
As we both edge toward the door

Chorus:
I know that we’re both sick of this
But maybe you could stay
We could give it another shot
‘Cause maybe we could work
If only you’d just stay

I wish we didn’t feel so helpless
Standing here as we are
While you reach for the door
I stare into my coffee cup

I wish we weren’t so stubborn
Both convinced that we’re so right
I know I’m probably wrong
But aren’t you mistaken too?

Chorus:
I know that we’re both sick of this
But maybe you could stay
We could give it another shot
‘Cause maybe we could work
If only you’d just stay

Maybe it is for the best
I wish it didn’t hurt so much
Convinced that we were meant to be
Guess that’s something you couldn’t see

Chorus:
I know that we’re both sick of this
But maybe you could stay
We could give it another shot
‘Cause maybe we could work
If only you’d just stay
