Lyrics

Don't Stay

[Verse 1]

Lately I've been thinking

You've seen the worst and you've seen it in me

I gave you every reason

Every reason to get up and leave

[Pre-Chorus]

I know that there's times

That you get so tired

And you know I want you to stay

[Chorus]

But don't stay for me

Don't stay for me

If you got to leave

Do what you need

But don't stay for me

Don't stay for me

(Don't stay for me)

[Verse 2]

Baby, I've been thinking

That you've been hurt and it's because of me

(Oh woah, oh woah)

Baby, my ship is sinking

So don't go overboard trying to save me

[Pre-Chorus]

I know that there's times

That you get so tired

And you know I want you to stay

[Chorus]

But don't stay for me

Don't stay for me

If you got to leave

Do what you need

But don't stay for me

Don't stay for me

Don't stay for me

Don't stay for me

[Bridge]

Oh woah, oh woah

Oh woah, oh woah (Listen)

Oh woah, oh woah (Don't stay for me)

Oh woah, oh woah (Don't stay for me)

Oh woah, oh woah

[Chorus]

Don't stay for me (Don't you stay, baby)

Don't stay for me

If you got to leave (If you got to leave)

Do what you need (Do what you need)

Don't stay for me (Don't stay, yeah)

Don't stay for me (Don't you stay)

Don't stay for me

Don't stay for me (Don't you stay)

Don't stay for me

[Outro]

Don't stay for me
