I Can't Stay

*Needs Editing*

Every time we start to get close,

I get scared and let it go.

I start to think I should leave;

Just give up, give you space to breathe,

Even though you say

You want me to stay.

Every time I get close to someone,

I end up saying something all wrong;

You're too innocent to feel that kind of pain.

You may not see it right now,

But someday you'll figure out

You'll be much happier

When I'm out of your way.

REFRAIN

I can't stay, no, no,

I have to let you go.

Before your heart breaks, too,

Just like they always do.

I always think

That things have changed;

The only problem is

My jaded heart's the same.
