Stay Gone

(专辑： Shelter - 1997)

No, you cannot stay for the night
I'm not your anytime you want me delight
I've been healing both my body and mind
Found the courage that can free me this time

We're playing by a new set of rules
Baby, these were not designed for some fool
See, I've taken all that I'm gonna take
It's the rest of my life that's at stake

So, don't you come around drinking high and thinking
I'm gonna lay down, 'cause you're wrong, you're so wrong
I'm through with letting you walk in, do the talking
Putting your hands where they don't belong, they don't belong
You can't just show up, use me, lie and abuse me
This time baby stay gone, you can stay gone

I'm no longer falling apart
See, I finally got you out of my heart
And if I ever think of taking you back
You'll remind me how I feel about that

So don't you come around drinking, high and thinking
I'm gonna lay down, 'cause you're wrong, oh yeah damn wrong
I'm through with letting you walk in do the talking
Putting your hands where you know they don't belong, no, no they don't belong
You can't just show up, use me, lie and abuse me
This time baby, you, you, you you can stay gone
(You can stay gone...)

I don't need the smooth talk on a good night
Doing just fine, doing alright stay gone
(I don't need you, no)

I don't need the false hope, or the bad dope
Or the rough love, had enough of it stay gone

You can't be a no show, when I'm real low
It's a no blow, it's a no go stay gone, stay gone...gone

So don't you come around drinking, sad and steaming
Baby, let me tell you
I won't work this time
It ain't gonna work no
Ain't gonna work no
I'm tired of letting you hurt me, scream and curse me
Baby, that pain is more than you're worth
Today is gonna be my day, find you a highway
Hear me baby, stay gone you can stay gone

You can stay, out there, somewhere
I don't care, I don't care stay gone
(You don't believe it)

You can take a slow boat or a long road
To a fast plane, to a slow train
Stay gone, stay gone you can stay gone
