"Stay" Lyrics

Made him take the longest way home
Hoping he would change his mind before he dropped me off
And I thought if I said nothing
It'd make him think of something
That was worth holding onto...
But I never really gave him the choice to choose
Hate myself for not letting those blue eyes see
Anything but the car door slammed behind me
I bet he thought that meant more than goodbye

Now I'm standing in this crowd of people
Wishing he was one of them so I could see him
I'd say what I said under my breath to myself after he left
That I, I, I know I said go, but it also meant stay!

Now I know I'll just look for him in everyone else, instead
Of just asking him to come back
And I wonder when 3 am rolled around
Was when he figured out that
Talking to himself in an empty room was
Exactly what I was doing too
Just too soon to go!

Now I'm standing in this crowd of people
Wishing he was one of them so I could see him
I'd say what I said under my breath to myself after he left
That I, I, I know I said go, but it also meant stay!

And the first time he actually listened to me
It's when I needed him to disagree the most
I need him to come back and hold everything,
Catch it all while I was letting go,
Well I was only as far as behind my front door
I was just waiting for him!

Now I'm standing in this crowd of people
Wishing he was one of them so I could see him
I'd say what I said under my breath to myself after he left
That I, I, I know I said go, but it also meant stay!
It meant stay!

Now I know I'll just look for him in everyone else
