Why Don't You Try?

  1. "Why Don't You Try"

    I am a woman
    Cut in two
    By ambitious pride
    Stuck in my ways
    Between you and my other life

    Now I have been around enough to know when love has ended
    But I believe that you and I deserve to be extended

    So why don't you try
    To make me stay
    When it's time to go
    Why don't you try
    To stand in my way
    'Cause we both know
    I can't stop myself

    Our empty house
    You occupy
    When I'm far away
    Heavier hearts won't justify
    Why I'm gone today

    Now I have hung a cloud above our lives from always leaving
    Figured you would at least make me give a better reason

    So why don't you try
    To make me stay
    When it's time to go
    Why don't you try
    To stand in my way
    Because we both know
    I can't stop myself

    In the early mornings when I'm up before dawn
    You say "why don't you stay" but you keep sleeping on
    Maybe you're just used to me being gone
    Cause if you know that I don't want to go

    Then why don't you try
    Oh yeah
    When it's time to go
    Why don't you try
    To stand in my way
    'Cause we both know,
    I can't stop myself

    Why don't you
    Why don't you try
    When it's time to go, oh
    'Cause I don't want to have to go
    And be the one to leave you holding on alone
    But this, this is my goodbye

    So why don't you try
    Oh oh, oh
    Why don't you
    Why don't you
    Why don't you try
