Ask Me to Stay
I’m sitting here today
wondering how i could ever give you away
I’m playing back all the words that were said
the conversation hits me as bullets to the head
but what’s done is done
there’s no going back
why can’t you see me the way you see her?
wasn’t i the girl you thought you loved first
what can i say, you wanted it this way
so i left, hoping you’d come begging me to stay
All i ever wanted was to make you feel okay
but every time I tried, you just pushed me away
i guess i tried everything in my strength
that doesn’t mean i don’t want you here again
but you made your choice
and all that lingers is your voice
why can’t you see me the way you see her
wasn’t i the girl you thought you loved first
what can i say, you wanted it this way
so i left, praying you’d come begging me to stay
All i ever wanted, was to make you smile
even if it meant being away for a while
but i never expected that to be the end
i know i should be angry at what you did
but all i can think about is this instead
so tell me
why can’t you see me the way you see her?
wasn’t i the girl you said you loved first
what can i say, you wanted it this way
so i left, hoping you’d come asking me
why can’t you look at me like you do her
i thought i was the girl that you fell for first
there’s nothing left to say, because you won’t change your ways
so here i go, knowing you won’t come after me to say
stay.
