You Can Stay

You can stay or you can leave
You can do what you feel should be done.
But don't play games and don't deceive
Because not all games are made to be won.

And don't assume you know it all
Because chances are you're wrong
Just because I decide to call
Doesn't mean that I'm not strong

I choose to do the things I do
Because this is who I am
I may like spending time with you
But it doesn't you have to be my man

And don't think you've got me figured out
Because you have no idea
what I'm feeling or thinking about
I just want to make that clear

I may have feelings or I might not
But I'll never tell you the truth
So I think you should shit or get off the pot
Because I'm only doing the things you do.

You want to remain this mystery man
And make me play guessing games
You should try honesty; it's a better plan
And finally I could do the same.

I could make you happy if you'd just let me in
But you'd rather make me keep up my guard
I could make you feel better than you've ever been
If you'd let me see who you really are.

I don't want to lose you
And I don't want to force you to stay
But know that I choose you
Without these stupid games you play.

So you can stay or you can leave
That decision is yours to make.
And you can believe what you want to believe.
But give me some credit for heaven's sake.
