I am a woman
Cut in two
By ambitious pride
Stuck in my ways
Between you and my other lifeNow I have been around enough to know when love has ended
And I believe that you and I deserve to be extendedWhy 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 todayNow I have hung a cloud above our lives from always leaving
I figured you would at least make me give a better reasonWhy 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 myselfIn 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.Why don't you,
Why don't you try
When it's time to go, Oh
Cause I don't wanna to have to go
And be the one to leave you holdin' all the love
But this, this is my goodbye
So why don't you try Oh, Oh,
Why don't you,
Why don't you try, Yeah
Why don't you try
