lyrics

Stay away from me

I wish the caring wouldn’t keep returning
So I could turn my back on you
Forget about all the joy I’ve had
And then caused so much misery

I can’t apologize for everything
I can’t relive all that grief
Yet I live with it anyway
I wish the caring wouldn’t keep returning
So I could just stay away

Stay away from me
Stay away from me
Do yourself a favor
Stay away from me

I never took time to listen
I wouldn’t even walk away
I’d scream and strike out to stop it
‘Cause I didn’t know how to play

I wish the caring wouldn’t keep returning
So I could turn my back on you
Forget about all the joy I’ve had
But then caused so much misery

I can’t apologize for everything
I can’t relive all that grief
Yet I live with it anyway
I wish the caring wouldn’t keep returning
So I could just stay away

Stay away from me
Stay away from me
Do yourself a favor
Stay away from me

Stay away from me
Stay away from me
Do yourself a favor
