Why Don't You Try
I am a womanCut in twoBy ambitious prideStuck in my waysBetween you and my other life
Now I have been around enough to know when love has endedBut I believe that you and I deserve to be extended
So why don't you tryTo make me stayWhen it's time to goWhy don't you tryTo stand in my way'Cause we both knowI can't stop myself
Our empty houseYou occupyWhen I'm far awayHeavier hearts won't justifyWhy I'm gone today
Now I have hung a cloud above our lives from always leavingFigured you would at least make me give a better reason
So why don't you tryTo make me stayWhen it's time to goWhy don't you tryTo stand in my wayBecause we both knowI can't stop myself
In the early mornings when I'm up before dawnYou say "why don't you stay" but you keep sleeping onMaybe you're just used to me being goneCause if you know that I don't want to go
Then why don't you tryOh yeahWhen it's time to goWhy don't you tryTo stand in my way'Cause we both know,I can't stop myself
Why don't youWhy don't you tryWhen it's time to go, oh'Cause I don't want to have to goAnd be the one to leave you holding on aloneBut this, this is my goodbye
So why don't you tryOh oh, ohWhy don't youWhy don't youWhy don't you try
