You've been picking up this empty house washing your hands clean
Of everything that has to do with me
Except for the pillow and the sheets laying in the floor next to the bed
That never got any sleep
You can still feel last night inside your heart was breaking open wide
I can't stay with you as long as you want me
Stay with you even though I should
You listen to me when I tell you
I said some things you misunderstood
You know that I don't want to hurt you
I'm trying to make you see
I'll only stay with you long enough to leave
I've been making a mess of what you gave me watching the exit signs
As they fly by they're keeping me from the truth
Because I left an empty suitcase full promises I could never keep
That's more than I can do
And I can still hear the sound of your voice We both know I don't have a choice
I can't stay with you as long as you want me
Stay with you even though I should
Listen to me when I tell you
I said some things you misunderstood
You know that I don't want to hurt you
I'm trying to make you see
I'll only stay with you long enough to leave
Bridge
You have to let me go for now
But hold on tight girl and I'll come back around
And I'll stay with you as long as you want me
Stay with you cause you know I should
You listen to me when I tell you
I said some things you misunderstood
You know that I don't want to hurt you
I'm trying to make you see
I'll only stay with you long enough to leave
Yeah, I'll only stay with you long enough to leave
