Lyrics

I'll Stay Away

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 you turn and walk away

I swear I can see forever

When I hear the things you say

You know they stay with me forever

And then you cry, though I never shed a tear

And then you cry, you tell me stay away from here

I ask you why, but you never, never say

And so I say, I said I'll stay, I'll stay away

When I pay you compliments

You always prefer if I don't say

So its no coincidence that I get so carried away

And then you cry, no I never shed a tear

And then you cry, you tell me stay away from here

I asked you why, but you never, never say

And so I say, I said I'll stay, I'll stay away

Remember when I kissed your lips

They were soft and so familiar

Then you go and tell me this

Oh that you really meant to kill her

And then you cry, no I never shed a tear

And then you cry, you tell me stay away from here

Well I ask you why, but you never, never say

Oh yeah

And so I say, I say I'll stay, I'll stay away

Remember when I kissed your lips

They were soft and so familiar

Then you go and tell me this

Oh that you really meant to kill her

And then you cry, no I never shed a tear

And then you cry, you tell me stay away from here

Well I ask you why, but you never, never say

Oh yeah

And so I say, I say I'll stay, I'll stay away

Hey!

I say I'll stay away

And then I say

Oh, that I'll stay away

And then I pray that I, I stay away

I said I'll stay away

I'll stay away

Oh, I'll stay away

I'll stay away

I'll stay away
