All You Had To Do Was Stay Lyrics - 1989 - Ryan Adams

People like you always want back the love they gave away 

People like me wanna believe you when you say that you've changed 

The more I think about it now, the less I know 

All I know is that you drove us off the road 

All you had to do was stay 

All you had to do was stay 

Had me in the palm of your hand 

Why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in 

Stay, hey, now you say you want it back now And that it's just too late 

Well, could've been easy 

All you had to do was stay

Here you are now, calling me up 

But I don't know what to say 

I've been picking up the pieces of the mess you made 

People like you always want back the love they pushed aside 

But people like me are gone forever 

When you say goodbye 

Stay, all you had to do was stay 

Had me in the palm of your hand 

Why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in? 

Stay, hey, now you want it back 

It's just too late 

Well, it could've been easy 

All you had to do was stay 

Well, it could've been easy 

All you had to do was stay 

Could've been easy 

All you had to do was stay 

Stay
