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.
When I don't want you
Why do I stay here?
You're not the one
For me
Is it because girl
You know you say that you need me
And you cry when I say
When I say that I'll go?
And I'm tired
Baby, I'm tired by your tears
They don't reach my ears anymore
No, not anymore
