[Verse] You don't need my permission, Do what you wanna do. Go ahead and take your keys, I'm not gonna beg for you. You should know me well enough, Why do I have to spell it out? You haven't even reached the doorway, Are you already giving up on me now? [Chorus] You can go, I won't ask you to stay. If I have to ask, It won't feel the same. The choice is yours, Like I didn't have one in mind. You can go But why'd you believe me this time? (But why'd you believe me this time?) [Verse 2] Last week I said I needed space, You gave me what I asked you for. I hated how you made it look so easy, Like you weren't already waiting by the phone. You should know by now what I want, Do you even listen to me? I keep asking you for nothing, Then get angry when that's all I get. [Chorus] You can go, I won't ask you to stay. If I have to ask, It won't feel the same. The choice is yours, Like I didn't have one in mind. You can go But why'd you believe me this time? (But why'd you believe me this time?) [Bridge] I wanted you to put your keys down. I wanted you to know that I need you. I thought you'd hear me asking you to stay Every time I told you to go. [Final Chorus] You can go, But I'm asking you to stay. I thought if I had to ask, It wouldn't feel the same. The choice is yours, And you've already heard that line. I want you to stay. I should've said it the first time.
