Stayaway
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I see my old friends, we'll go out dancing
If we go out dancing, then we’ll go to the bar
If we go to the bar, then there's gonna be drinking
If I drink, I wanna see where you are
So I don't see my old friends, I don’t go dancing
I don't do most things I used to do
Actually, now that I'm thinking about it
I did most things to get to you
No one ever told me leaving was the easy part
I gotta stay away
Leaving you was easy, now I gotta do what's hard
I gotta stay away
Stay away, stay stay away
Stay away, stay stay away
If I go driving then I'll put on music
If I put on music then I'll play your song
If I play your song then I think I'll lose it
End up pulled up at the front of your lawn
So I don't go driving, no, I just stay in
I don’t do most things I used to do
’Cause every moment is a fork in the road
And all my roads lead back to you (you, you)
No one ever told me leaving was the easy part
I gotta stay away
Leaving you was easy, now I gotta do what's hard
I gotta stay away
Stay away, stay stay away
Stay away, stay stay away
If I turn off the light then I might start thinking
If I start thinking, I’ll think of the time when
You said that you loved me, you said I was perfect
You said you were sorry, you said you were selfish
If I don't stop it, before I know it
All the bad things never happened
You never lied or treated me bad and
If you did then you'll wish you hadn't
Start believing you were right and
I was being too dramatic
So I gotta leave the light on
For tonight
Just so I can stay away
No one ever told me leaving was the easy part
I gotta stay away
Leaving you was easy, now I gotta do what’s hard
I gotta stay away
Any little misstep
I'll be at your doorstep
Talking 'bout forgiveness
Giving you my heart back
Just so you can break it
One more time before I say
I gotta stay away
Stay away, stay stay away
Stay away, stay stay away
Stay away, stay stay away
Stay away, stay stay away
