"Why Don't You Try"





I am a woman

Cut in two

By ambitious pride

Stuck in my ways

Between you and my other life



Now I have been around enough to know when love has ended

And I believe that you and I deserve to be extended



So why don't you try

To make me stay

When it's time to go

Why don't you try

To stand in my way

Because we both know

I can't stop myself



Our empty house

You occupy

When I'm far away

Heavier hearts won't justify

Why I'm gone today



Now I have hung a cloud above our house from always leaving

I figured you would at least make me give a better reason



So why don't you try

To make me stay

When it's time to go

Why don't you try

To stand in my way

Because we both know

I can't stop myself



In the early mornings when I'm up before dawn

Say "why don't you stay" but you keep sleeping on

Maybe you're just too used to me being gone

Cause if you know that I go when I go



Then why don't you try

To make me stay

When it's time to go

Why don't you try

To stand in my way

Because we both know

I can't stop myself.
