If I stay

Here I am in you bed again
Hanging on by a thread again
Saying thing I regret again
Things that shouldn't be said again
Going over the past and then
I'll have one my glass and then
Won't be long till I'm asking again
Baby can I come back again?
Can I come back again?
And I keep believing
That I am leaving you
And you know I can't even recall
Did we really ever love each other at all?
And I am going
But I am knowing
That I got to have one more day
'Cause it hurts if I stay
But it's worse if I stay away
I don't want to stay away
So here I am at you floor again
Standing at your door again
I made you feel like a whore again
It's gonna be a sad morning then
I tell you good bye and then
I'll watch you cry again
Until I drive by again
I say baby can we try again?
Maybe we try again
Just try again
I keep believing
That I am leaving, yeah
You know I can't even recall
If we really ever loved each other at all
And I am going
But I am knowing
That I got to have one more day
'Cause it hurts if I stay
But it's worse if I stay away
We're holding on until the good is all gone
Yeah you know that it's not all right
But it is not all wrong
I never meant to stay so long
I do never seem to say so long
Yeah, so long
And I keep believing
That I am leaving, yeah
You know I can't even recall
If we really ever loved each other at all
And I am going
But I am knowing
That I got to have one more day
'Cause it hurts if I stay
But it's worse if I stay away
I don't want to stay away
