He had a temper and when it went off was as deadly as a gun
He made her feel like she had nowhere to run
Clinging together like honey and leather
Ridiculous when you look back
Like it was preordained
They wore everything black
Why do we stay?
Stay surrounded by people that don't want us
In places we're not wanted
Tell me why you stay
Stay surrounded by people that don't want you
In places you're not wanted
Tell me why you stay
Sits and the table and goes through the motions
Telling herself that she's trapped
Faking a smile, it doesn't have to be like that
No room to breathe he was lost in the silence
Wondering what he did wrong
Thinking that no one cared
Feeling like the only one
Why do we stay?
Stay surrounded by people that don't want us
In places we're not wanted
Tell me why you stay
Stay surrounded by people that don't want you
In places you're not wanted
Tell me why you stay
Tell me why you stay
The truth in your heart is a ticking bomb
The voice inside telling you to run
Keeps screaming to move it along
I want you to know there's always a way out
Heavens out there somewhere but you have to leave now
Tell me why we stay
Stay surrounded by people that don't want us
In places we're not wanted
Tell me why you stay
Stay surrounded by people that don't want you
In places you're not wanted
Tell me why you stay
Tell me why you stay
Tell me why you stay
Tell me why you stay
