[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
