You Can't Stay

(album: Southern Way Of Life - 2013)

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.

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.

You had my heart but you let it slip away
Now you're coming back around and you can't stay.
