TELL ME SOMETHING TO MAKE ME STAY

YOU WALKED OUT THAT DOOR RIGHT AWAY
WITHOUT EVEN BOTHERING TO SLAM IT SHUT
HOW DARE YOU NOT ASK ME TO ASK YOU TO STAY

I COULD TELL YOU WERE ANGRY THAT NIGHT
YOU DIDN’T NEED WORDS, I COULD SEE IT IN YOUR EYES
HOW DARE YOU NOT ASK ME TO ASK YOU TO STAY

I WAS WAITING FOR THE BURST OF FURY
TO UNRAVEL OUT OF YOU BUT YOU JUST LEFT
HOW DARE YOU NOT ASK ME TO ASK YOU TO STAY

I KNOW YOU WERE NEVER GOOD WITH WORDS AND
AND YOU STRUGGLED WITH VOICING YOUR THOUGHTS
HOW DARE YOU NOT ASK ME TO ASK YOU TO STAY

IF IT WAS ME WALKING OUT THAT DOOR INSTEAD
I WOULD HAVE YELLED
I WOULD HAVE SCREAMED
I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU
THAT I NEVER LOVED YOU
AND YOU WOULD HAVE FLINCHED
BUT YOU COULD SEE IT IN MY EYES
THAT I DIDN’T MEAN ANYTHING.

IF IT WAS ME WALKING OUT THAT DOOR INSTEAD
I WOULD HAVE MADE A SCENE
I WOULD HAVE SLAMMED THE DOOR
I WOULD HAVE STORMED MY FEET
AND WALK SLOWLY DOWN THE STREET
HOPING THAT MAYBE
YOU MIGHT JUST
CHASE AFTER ME.

IF IT WAS ME WALKING OUT THAT DOOR INSTEAD
YOU WOULD HAVE CAUGHT ME
YOU WOULD HAVE KISSED ME
YOU WOULD HAVE EXPLAINED
THAT LOVE IS FRAGILE BUT
WHAT WE HAVE
IS MORE THAN JUST GLASS.

IF IT WAS ME WALKING OUT THAT DOOR INSTEAD
I WOULD HAVE TOUCHED YOU
I WOULD HAVE DOUBTED YOU
I WOULD HAVE ASKED YOU
TO TELL ME SOMETHING
TO MAKE ME STAY.

IF IT WAS ME WALKING OUT THAT DOOR INSTEAD
YOU WOULD HAVE HELD ME
YOU WOULD HAVE CARESSED ME
YOU WOULD HAVE TOLD ME
THAT YOU LOVED ME
AND I WOULD HAVE STAYED.

BUT IT WAS YOU WALKING OUT THAT DOOR INSTEAD
AND YOU DIDN’T YELL
AND YOU DIDN’T SCREAM
AND YOU DIDN’T SLAM THE DOOR
AND YOU DIDN’T WALK SLOWLY
AND YOU DIDN’T ASK ME FOR A REASON TO MAKE YOU STAY.
