[Verse 1] The cup near the sink still holds your tea A gold ring left on the porcelain seam Your shoes by the mat, turned to the wall We both knew we were bound to fall I hide my face and try to scream It hurts in the spaces between Delirious laughs for the neighbors to hear Then the room grows cold as you disappear [Pre-Chorus] I count the seconds till I'm bored Count the sheep to escape the day If I move, will the floorboards give way? If I stay, will I fade away? [Chorus] Should I stay, should I go? Let me go, let me go Cut me free, let me know Let me know, let me know I still love what we were I still feel the bruise and the burn Should I stay, should I go? Let me go, let me go [Verse 2] Wearing my pain like a second skin Soaked by the rain we're standing in You say, "I'm fine," as you look away And I swallow the words I'm dying to say We built this house on a hundred truces Tiny lies beneath these bruises Now everyone knows we just pretend And I hate the cost of calling you a "friend" [Pre-Chorus] I hear the clock on the stand tick slow Every tick reminds me I don't know If I break it, what will I lose? If I hold on, what will I choose? [Chorus] Should I stay, should I go? Let me go, let me go Cut me free, let me know Let me know, let me know I still love what we were I still feel the bruise and the burn Should I stay, should I go? Let me go, let me go [Bridge] If I leave, will you finally see How your silence kept shaping me? If I stay, will the years go stale? One more winter, skin grows pale [Breakdown] Call my name like you mean it now Spit the truth, just let it out I'm on the edge of this quiet war Hand on the knob, heart to the floor [Final Chorus] Should I stay, should I go? Let me go, let me go Cut me free, let me know Let me know, let me know I still love what we were I still feel the bruise and the burn Should I stay, should I go? Let me go, let me go [Outro] Let me go, let me go... Should I stay... or should I go?
