All You Had to Do Was Stay
Taylor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Hey hey hey)
(Hey hey hey)
(Hey hey hey)
People like you always want back the love they gave away
And people like me wanna believe you when you say 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
Stay, hey, all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand
Then, why'd you had to go and lock me out when I let you in
Stay, hey, now you say you want it
Back now that it's just too late
Well could've been easy
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
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, hey, all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand
Then, why'd you had to go and lock me out when I let you in
Stay, hey, now you say you want it
Back now that it's just too late
Well could've been easy
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 (stay, stay, stay)
Let me remind you this was what you wanted (oh oh oh)
You ended it
You were all I wanted (oh oh oh)
But not like this
Not like this
Not like this
Oh, all you had to do was stay
Hey, all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand
Then, why'd you had to go and lock me out when I let you in
Stay, hey, now you say you want it
Back now that it's just too late
Well could've been easy
All you had to do was stay
Hey, all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand
Then, why'd you had to go and lock me out when I let you in
Stay, hey, now you say you want it
Back now that it's just too late
Well could've been easy (all you had to do was stay)
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay (oh)
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay (ooh)

(Hey hey hey)
Repetitive chorus-like introduction to the song
People like you always want back the love they gave away
People who give love and then take it away always want it back
And people like me wanna believe you when you say you've changed
People who are hurt by those who take love away want to believe they can change
The more I think about it now the less I know
The more I reflect on what happened, the less sure I am of what went wrong
All I know is that you drove us off the road
All I know is that you caused the end of our relationship
Stay, hey, all you had to do was stay
Please stay, it was so simple to make this work
Had me in the palm of your hand
I was completely under your control
Then, why'd you had to go and lock me out when I let you in
Why did you abandon me when I trusted you?
Stay, hey, now you say you want it
Now you say you want me and our relationship back
Back now that it's just too late
But it's too late now, the damage is done
Well could've been easy
Our relationship could have been easy and uncomplicated
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay and be committed to us
Here you are now, calling me up, but I don't know what to say
You're reaching out to me now, but I'm not sure how to respond
I've been picking up the pieces of the mess you made
I am trying to repair the damage you caused
People like you always want back the love they pushed aside
Those who pushed aside love always want it back
But people like me are gone forever when you say goodbye
But people like me leave for good when you end things
Let me remind you this was what you wanted (oh oh oh)
Let me remind you that ending things was your choice
You ended it
You made the decision to end our relationship
You were all I wanted (oh oh oh)
You were the person I wanted to be with
But not like this
But not in a way that would hurt me so much
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay and be committed to us
Had me in the palm of your hand
I was completely under your control
Then, why'd you had to go and lock me out when I let you in
Why did you abandon me when I trusted you?
Stay, hey, now you say you want it
Now you say you want me and our relationship back
Back now that it's just too late
But it's too late now, the damage is done
Well could've been easy (all you had to do was stay)
Our relationship could have been easy and uncomplicated, but you chose to leave
All you had to do was stay (oh)
All you had to do was stay and be committed to us
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay and be committed to us
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay and be committed to us
All you had to do was stay (ooh)
All you had to do was stay and be committed to us
