I Guess I Couldn’t Stay

[Verse 1]

We used to talk all night (all night)
He used to hold me tight (so tight)
Now every little thing (little)
Turns into a fight (we fight, we fight)

I never asked for much (never)
Just wanted us to work (work)
But maybe every time we talk (we talk)
I end up getting hurt (hurt so bad, you hurt)

[Pre-Chorus]

Just going round and round (round, round, round)
Tearing us apart (tearing, tearing apart)
Gave you chances, gave you time (time)
Losing my peace of mind (my peace, my peace)

[Chorus]

You wanted me to blame (blame)
Then shout at me and say (and say)
“I don’t know what you mean” (what you mean)
I tried to make it work (make it work)

But this time, it’s too hard (too hard)
You hurt me with your words (your words)
Man, this is such a shame (such a shame)

I guess I couldn’t stay
(Stay, stay, stay, stay…)

[Verse 2]

I used to let it slide (slide)
Just keep you by my side (yeah, my side)
Swallowed words I shouldn’t say (no, no)
Lying wide awake in bed (alone)

Now you’re asking, what went wrong? (what went wrong?)
Like, like we haven’t been here all along (all along)
I gave everything I had (gave it to you)
Tell me, why’s it ending bad? (Why, why, why?)

[Pre-Chorus]

Just going round and round (round, round, round)
Tearing us apart (tearing, tearing apart)
Gave you chances, gave you time (time)
Losing my peace of mind (my peace, my peace)

[Chorus]

You wanted me to blame (blame)
Then shout at me and say (and say)
“I don’t know what you mean” (what you mean)
I tried to make it work (make it work)

But this time, it’s too hard (too hard)
You hurt me with your words (your words)
Man, this is such a shame (such a shame)

I guess I couldn’t stay
(Stay, stay, stay, stay…)

[Breakdown – Beat Drops Back]

Oh, I tried, baby (yes, I tried)
God knows I tried (I tried, I tried)
You kept talking
I kept asking why (tell me why)

Why, why, why, why?
(Why, why, why, why?)

Round and round we go
(Round, round, round, round)
How was I supposed to know?
(How? Tell me how?)

God knows I tried (I tried)
I kept asking (tell me why)
Why, why, why, why?

Why, why, why, why?
(Tell me why…)

[Final Chorus – Full Harmonies]

You wanted me to blame (blame, baby)
Then shout at me and say (what’d you say?)
“I don’t know what you mean” (you know what you mean)
I tried to make it work (I tried, I tried)

But this time, it’s too hard (too hard, baby)
You hurt me with your words (those words, those words)
Man, this is such a shame (such a shame)

I guess I couldn’t stay
(Stay, stay, stay, stay…)

I guess I couldn’t stay
(Couldn’t stay, baby…)

I guess I couldn’t stay
(Stay… stay… stay… stay…)
