Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I see my old friends, we go out dancing
If we go out dancing then we'll go to the bar
If we go to the bar then there's gonna be drinking
If I drink I wanna see where you are
[Verse 2]
So I don't see my old friends, I don't go dancing
I don't do most thing I used to do
Actually now that I'm thinking about it
I did most things to get to you
[Verse 3]
No one ever told me
Leaving was the easy part
I gotta stayaway
Leaving you was easy
Now I gotta do what's hard
I gotta stayaway
[Verse 4]
(Stayaway, stay, stayaway)
(Stayaway, stay, stayaway)
[Verse 5]
If I go driving then I put on music
If I put on music then I play your song
If I play your song then I think I'll lose it
End up pulled up at the front of your lawn
[Verse 6]
So I don't go driving, no I just stay here
I don't do most thing I used to do
'Cause every moment is a fork in the road
And all my roads lead back to you (You, you, you)
[Verse 7]
No one ever told me
Leaving was the easy part
I gotta stayaway
Leaving you was easy
Now I gotta do what's hard
I gotta stayaway
[Verse 8]
(Stayaway, stay, stayaway)
(Stayaway, stay, stayaway)
[Verse 9]
If I turn out the light then I might start thinkin'
If I start thinkin' I think of the time when
You said that you loved me, you said I was perfect
You said you were sorry, you said you were selfish
[Verse 10]
If I don't stop it, before I know it
All the bad things never happened
You never lied or treated me bad and
If you did then you wish you hadn't
[Verse 11]
Start believin' you were right and
I was being too dramatic
So I gotta leave the light on for tonight
Just so I can stayaway
[Verse 12]
No one ever told me
Leaving was the easy part
I gotta stayaway
Leaving you was easy
Now I gotta do what's hard
I gotta stayaway
[Verse 13]
Any little mistep, I'll be at your doorstep
Talkin' 'bout forgiveness, giving you my heart back
Just so you can break it
One more time before I say I gotta stayaway
[Verse 14]
(Stayaway, stay, stayaway)
(Stayaway, stay, stayaway)
(Stayaway, stayaway)
(Stayaway, stay, stayaway)
