"Please Stay" Lyrics:
Your clothes in the dryer.
Your hair on the shower wall.
Your toothbrush is too much.
Your shoes, empty in the hall.
Your keys on the counter.
Your dirty dish in the sink.
Please don't make me see these things.

The books on your shelf that you never read.
The hunting knife you kept by your bed.
The flowers you dried and tied up with twine,
suspended from the ceiling.

You tell me you love me
like it'll be the last time.
Like you're playing out
the end of a story line.
I say I love you too
because it's true.
What else am I supposed to do?
Maybe bar the door
when you move to leave.
I believe what you say
when you say you wanna die.
I believe what you say
when you say you want to stay alive.

Quit your job.
Cut your hair.
Get a dog.
Change your name.
Change your mind.
Change your ways.
Give them time.
Go back to school.
Go back to sleep.
Tell the secret you can't keep.
Begin.
Be done.
Break a vow.
Make a new one.
Call me if you need a friend
or never talk to me again.

But please stay.
But please stay.
But please stay.
But please stay.
