Lay it all on the table
I put my faults where you’ll see
'Cause you’re too much of an angel
To be wondering if you’re good enough for me
I can make you feel so special
And I can make you wanna stay
But I can only write in pencil
So tell me why
Why can’t I love you?
Why can’t I stay?
As soon as I have you
I know I’ll run away
Why can’t I need you every day?
Is it better to leave you
Or to have you this way?
Oh
I’ve been feeling like a bad guy, oh
But you tell me it’s not true
If I was heartless, I would have it light and say
I was satisfied spendin' a life with you
I can make you feel so special
And I can make you wanna stay
But I can only write in pencil
So tell me why
Why can’t I love you?
Why can’t I stay?
As soon as I have you
I know I’ll run away
Yeah, why can’t I need you every day?
Is it better to leave you
Or to have you this way?
Is it better to walk away, walk away?
Is it better to walk away, walk away?
'Cause I can make you feel so special
Yeah, I can make you wanna stay
But I can only write in pencil
So tell me why
Why can’t I love you?
Now, why can’t I stay?
As soon as I have you
I know I’ll run away
Why can’t I need you every day?
Is it better to leave you
Or to have you this way?
Is it better to walk away, walk away?
Is it better to walk away, walk away?
Is it better to walk away, walk away?
Is it better to walk away, walk away?
