[English]

Thought I could leave you

Cause I felt my heart numbing

It hit so deep I closed my eyes and I just took off running

I turned around and saw the look on your face

So I stayed

Stayed

But I don't need you

And you should know that baby

It'd take a miracle for you to really try and change me

Then I felt sorry for the look on your face

So I stayed

Stayed

...

So I stayed

Stayed

...

So I stayed

Stayed

...

You wanna leave her

Don't wanna hurt nobody

I don't believe a single word you say or that you're sorry

Why can't I say no to the look on your face

I just stay

Stay

...

So I stayed

Stayed

...

So I stayed

Stayed

You push me away, Push me away

But I always stay, I always stay, Yeah

You push me away, Push me away

But I always stay, I always stay, Yeah

You push me away, Push me away

But I always stay, I always stay, Yeah

You push me away, Push me away

But I always stay, I always stay

But will you

Will you?

Will you?

So I stayed

Stayed

...

So I stayed

Stayed

...

I stay, I stay

Oh why do I stay?

So I stayed

Stayed

...
