Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I told you that my band started popping off
You told me that you played guitar
I knew that you had lied at the time you said it
But you could play my heart
Took a couple weeks, you were shredding
Playin' like a rock 'n' roll star
Holy God damn you were so annoying
But you had my heart
[Chorus]
Ooh, I guess I had to stay for something
Had stay for something good
I guess I had to stay for something
Had stay for something
[Verse 2]
Tried figure out why I stuck it out
Looking back, what the hell?
Five years losing my friends and family
I lost myself
[Chorus]
Ooh, I guess I had to stay for something
Had stay for something good
I guess I had to stay for something
Had stay for something
[PostChorus]
Good enough to keep me
Running to your arms
Telling everyone I know about
How smart I think you are
[Chorus]
Ooh, I guess I had to stay for something
Had stay for something good
I guess I had to stay for something
Had stay for something
[PostChorus]
Good enough to know you
Was all I wished to be
It hurts when I remember
You were sometimes good to me
[Bridge]
And they tell me I should hate you
Say you put me through it
Lord, I know I used to
But I just can't do it
You're just some long lost baby
Hope you find what you're looking for
Hope you find what you're looking for
Hey, hey
[Outro]
And they tell me I should hate you
Say you put me through it
Lord, I know I used to
But I just can't do it
They tell me I should hate you
Say you put me through it
Lord, I know I used to
But I just can't do it
They tell me I should hate you
Say you put me through it
Lord, I know I used to
But I just can't do it
You're just some long lost baby
Hope you find what you're looking for
