"All You Had To Do Was Stay" lyrics - 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 you had to go and lock me out
When I let you in?

Hey, now you say you want it back
Now that it's just too late
Well it 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've 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 you had to go and lock me out
When I let you in?

Stay, hey you now want it back
That 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
It could've been easy
All you had to do was stay
Stay
(All you had to do was stay)

All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
