Stay Lyrics

Passing shadows in the dark

In the scheme of it all we're a part of the greatest plan of all time


Where were you when I needed you

You weren't around

Never gave a clue to why things work out like they do


Making circles all your life but in the end you know you were right


To make all the choices that you made


But then you look back on it all and see the lies unfold

You know you could have made it some day


She was only twenty-one

Wanted to know what she had done


Read the paper the other day

Saw her boyfriends name in the obituary


So why don't you carve me up


Why don't you carve me up


Cos I don't believe a thing you say


Turn around look the other way


Why don't you stay away


I walk through life not knowing when

When the next one could happen again

I close down


Looking at the world today I turn around

I see the pain you caused my friends to go through


He was only so so young

Didn't know what he had done


Strolling on a beach one day

And then the next day his grandad had passed away

So why don't you carve me up


Why don't you carve me up


Cos I don't believe a thing you say


Turn around look the other way

Why don't you carve me up


Why don't you carve me up


Cos I don't believe a thing you say


Turn around look the other way


Why don't you stay away


Why don't you stay some day


Why don't you stay
