"Can't Make You Stay" lyrics

"Can't Make You Stay"

I can't make you stay
I can't make you stay

I was tired
You were yawning
Then, a touch o'clock
4 in the morning
I started thinking
When I got to us
I was something
And you were something else

But look at it this way
Been up in my headspace
Ain't no way you're coming down
I should've known right then
The feelings in my bed
But I was stuck on the ground

Now I don't even try
'Cause now I realize the reason why
I can't make you stay
I can't make you

Didn't wanna play this song
But I'm through
I feel like I could hold you forever
Why don't you?
Stumbling on the case
And calling me sue
I feel like I could hold you forever
Why don't you?

That's the way that I felt
When I was with you
And I've been fucked ever since
'Cause I didn't think this shit through

I can't make you stay
I can't make you stay
I can't make you stay
I can't make you stay
