All You Had To Do Was Stay
Taylor Swift

(Hey hey hey)

(Hey hey hey)

(Hey hey hey)

(Hey hey hey)

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 hand

Then, why'd you had to go and lock me out when 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've been picking up the pieces of 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 hand

Then, why'd you had to go and lock me out when 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)

Let me remind you this was what you wanted (Oh oh oh)

You ended it

You were all I wanted (Oh oh oh)

But not like this

Not like this

Not like this

Oh, all you had to do was stay

Hey, all you had to do was stay

Had me in the palm of your hand

Then, why'd you had to go and lock me out when 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

Hey, all you had to do was stay

Had me in the palm of your hand

Then, why'd you had to go and lock me out when 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 (Oh)

All you had to do was stay

All you had to do was stay

All you had to do was stay (Ooh)
