Why Should I Stay
Words & Music By Jayson Dyall c.1995
You tell me don’t go, but why should I stay
When I can’t believe, a single word you say
It hurts me so, to look into your eyes
As I pass all your tears, they’re just covering lies
I’ve lost my faith, and my belief in you
Trust and respect, yea, we both lost that too
You always thought, of yourself first
Why should I stay, it would only get worse
Throughout the years, I’ve kept all the hurt inside
Been holding back the tears, swallowing my pride
But you will never change, I can’t take it anymore
So I’m packing up, and walking out the door
Years of my life gone, most of which I regret
Been feeling so such anguish, I just want to forget
Don’t try to change my mind; I’ve grown deaf to your words
So many broken promises, I’ve so often heard
Throughout the years, I’ve kept all the hurt inside
Been holding back the tears, swallowing my pride
But you will never change, I can’t take it anymore
So I’m packing up, and walking out the door
< Guitar Solo >
You tell me don’t go, don’t go,
But why should I stay, no why should I stay
You tell me don’t go, don’t go,
But why should I stay, no why should I stay
You tell me don’t go, don’t go,
But why should I stay, why should I stay….
