I Dont Want You To Stay by EJ Carey Lyrics

In a dream, you told me you’d do
Anything to make it up to me
It took a bit to register that
Good things only happen in my sleep
Now I know, in waking life
You feel too sorry to apologize
And though I’m better now
I know I’d shed too many tears
On your blue eyes

I woke up a little out of my head
Still stuck on the things that you said
Just when I thought the plane was on the tarmac
The engine gave out and you came back
And you said we could never be the same
I concur, ‘cause I’m so done with this game
That you say you don’t know how to play
I don’t want you to stay
I don’t want you to stay

Now I’m up and dizzy thinking
Being friends with you just isn’t fair
Because you know what you did doеsn’t
Give you any right to still be herе
Now I know I shouldn’t answer
When you ask me if I still hate you
My response is convoluted
Simply ‘cause I can’t admit I do
And you’re not happy with or without me
I’m pretty sure you’re someone I don’t need
Long ago, you’d listen when I sing
But now I know these words don’t mean a thing
And you said we could never be the same
I concur, ‘cause I’m so done with this game
That you say you don’t know how to play
I don’t want you to stay
I don’t want you to stay

You’re a poster in my room
You are an emblem of my doom
You are recurring like the whirring in my skull
You’re a sock upon my floor
You aren’t welcome anymore
You are a catalyst who’s meaningless and dull
Beautifully pathetic

And this whole time that we’ve known each other
It’s always been one hurting the other
There are things in life you can’t take back
And in time, I’ll learn to accept that
And you feel like an early summer rain
And I feel like an August hurricane
I’m not sure what else to say
But I don’t think you should stay
No, I don’t think you should stay
