Stop looking this way
Stop staying too long
Stop laughing at my jokes,
Stop touching my arm
Don’t think I don’t notice
When you linger a little too long
You can’t say it’s just me
Cause you call when you need to cry
Tell me it’s ok, that it’ll be allright
It’s the way you say goodnight
I’ll tell you when it hurts
It’s when you ask me to stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
Do you really want to stay, stay, stay, stay, stay?
But I think it’s just me.
Stop looking so cute
Stop changing my mind
Stop making me guess
I know I’m wasting my time.
But don’t think I don’t notice
When you touch me a little too long.
You can’t say it’s just me
Cause you call when you need to cry
Tell me it’s ok, that it’ll be allright
It’s the way you say goodnight
I’ll tell you when it hurts
It’s when you don’t ask me to stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
I just wanna stay, stay, stay, stay, stay...
That’s why I think it’s just me.
Stop playing these games
I don’t think you know you’re playing
All I know for sure
Is that I’m losing/I’m losing this game
But you can’t say it’s just me
Cause you call when you need to cry
Tell me it’s ok, that it’ll be allright
It’s the way you say goodnight
I’ll tell you when it hurts
It’s when I ask you to stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
But you don’t wanna stay, stay, stay, stay, stay...
That’s why I know it’s just me.
One day it won’t be just me...
