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
|
But 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
|
'Cause 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 lives from always leaving
|
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
|
You say "why don't you stay" but you keep sleeping on
|
Maybe you're just used to me being gone
|
Cause if you know that I don't want to go
|
|
Then why don't you try
|
Oh yeah
|
When it's time to go
|
Why don't you try
|
To stand in my way
|
'Cause we both know,
|
I can't stop myself
|
|
Why don't you
|
Why don't you try
|
When it's time to go, oh
|
'Cause I don't want to have to go
|
And be the one to leave you holding on alone
|
But this, this is my goodbye
|
|
So why don't you try
|
Oh oh, oh
|
Why don't you
|
Why don't you
|
Why don't you try
|
