I can see the note upon the door Fighting back the tears Cause you're not here no more I look into your eyes and I just know You'd finally find the words To let us go Why don't you stay, Why don't you stay, Why don't you Take a little more time before you say What you might say Take a minute and think... because I've heard it all before, You're walking out the door Why don't you stay I don't want to wonder where you've been Days turn into weeks Will you come home again Packing all the picture frames away Why don't you stay, Why don't you stay, Why don't you Take a little more time before you say What you might say Take a minute and think... because I've heard it all before, You're walking out the door Why don't you stay Quietly I hear a song, The cd player sings along, Writing you a note to ask you why Why don't you stay, Why don't you stay, Why don't you Take a little more time before you say What you might say Take a minute and think... because I've heard it all before, You're walking out the door Why don't you stay Why don't you stay Just stay
