1 I am a woman
2 Cut in two by ambitious pride
3 Stuck in my ways
4 Between you and my other life
5 Now I have been around enough to know when love has ended
6 But I believe that you and I deserve to be extended
7 So why don't you try
8 To make me stay
9 When it's time to go
10 Why don't you try
11 To stand in my way
12 Cause we both know
13 I can't stop myself
14 Our empty house
15 You occupy when I'm far away
16 Heavier hearts won't justify
17 Why I'm gone today
18 Now I have hung a cloud above our lives from always leaving
19 Figure you would at least make me give a better reason
20 So why don't you try
21 To make me stay
22 When it's time to go
23 Why don't you try
24 To stand in my way
25 Cause we both know
26 I can't stop myself
27 In the early mornings when I'm up before dawn
28 You say 'why don't you stay?' but you keep sleeping on
29 Maybe you're just used to me being gone
30 Cause if you know that I don't wanna go
31 Then why don't you try
32 Oh yeah
33 When it's time to go
34 Why don't you try
35 To stand in my way
36 Cause we both know
37 I can't stop myself
38 Why don't you
39 Why don't you try
40 When it's time to go
41 Cause I don't wanna have to go and be the one to leave you holding on alone
42 But this, this is my goodbye
43 So why don't you try
