Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can't stay
I'd rather show you life that you didn't know
But you went and fucked up again
You can't stay
I'd rather show you life that you didn't know
But you went and fucked up again
I don't think that this time I can let it go
Then maybe I'll let you know, yeah
I've got decisions no kidding
My thoughts go up to the ceiling
I know that I deserve a better show, so here we go
In my head I keep, a list of the things you've reaped
Not to be held against you but
I kinda need the help when you corner me and I'm thinking on my feet
I've been thinking lately I should go oh
Other half is telling me oh no oh
Baby what should I do
I've been living for somebody I don't know how to choose, no
I make my decisions on the low oh
Conversations with myself so you don't know oh
Baby what should I do
I've been thinking to myself that I'm done, that I'm done with
You can't stay
I'd rather show you life that you didn't know
But you went and fucked up again
I don't think that this time I can let it go
So I'm gonna take my time until I really find it
Then maybe I'll let you know
I've got decisions no kidding
My thoughts go up to the ceiling
I know that I deserve a better show, so here we go
You can't stay
I'd rather show you life that you didn't know
But you went and fucked up again
I don't think that this time I can let it go
You can't stay, yeah
Yeah
