If I see my old friends, we'll go out dancing If we go out dancing, then we'll go to the bar If we go to the bar, then there's gonna be drinking If I drink, I wanna see where you are So I don't see my old friends, I don't go dancing I don't do most things I used to do Actually now that I'm thinking about it, I did most things to get to you No one ever told me that even was easy, but I gotta stay away Even if it was easy, now I gotta do what it's hard, I gotta stay away If I get drunk and then I put on music If I put on music, then I play a song If I play a song, then I think I'll lose it In the pool, the beds in front of you alone So I don't go driving, no I just stay in I don't do most things I used to do Cause every moment is a fork in the road And all my roads lead back to you No one ever told me that even was easy, but I gotta stay away Even if it was easy, now I gotta do what it's hard, I gotta stay away If I had nothing left then, I might start thinking If I start thinking, I think of the time when You said that you loved me, you said I was perfect You said you were sorry, you said you were selfish If I don't stop it, before I know it All the bad things never happen You never lied or treated me bad and If you did then you wish you hadn't Stopped believing you were right and I was being too dramatic So I gotta leave the light on for tonight Just so I can stay No one ever told me that even was easy, but I gotta stay away Even if it was easy, now I gotta do what it's hard, I gotta stay away Any little misstep, I'll be at your doorstep Talking about forgiveness, giving you my heart, babe Just so you can break it One more time before I say I gotta stay away Stay away Stay away Stay away Stay, stay away
