| 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 hands, then
 | 
| Why’d you have to go and lock me out while 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 been picking off the pieces
 | 
| Off 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 hands, then
 | 
| Why’d you have to go and lock me out while 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, stay)
 | 
| Let me remind you
 | 
| This was what you wanted
 | 
| You ended it
 | 
| You were all I wanted
 | 
| But not like this
 | 
| Not like this, not like this
 | 
| (Stay) Hey
 | 
| All you had to do was stay
 | 
| Had me in the palm of your hands, then
 | 
| Why’d you have to go and lock me out while 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 |
