Intro

x2

I am a woman

  Cut in two

  By ambitious pride

Stuck in my ways

  Between you

  And my other life

  Now I have been around enough to know when love has ended

  But I believe that you and I deserve to be extended

  So why don't you try

  To make me stay

  When it's time to go

  Why don't you try

  To stand in my way

  Cause we both know

  I can't stop myself

  Our empty house

  You occupy

  When I'm far away

Heavier hearts won't justify

  Why I'm gone today

  Now I have hung a cloud above our lives from always leaving

  Figured you would at least make me give a better reason

  So why don't you try

  To make me stay

  When it's time to go

  Why don't you try

  To stand in my way

  Cause we both know

  I can't stop myself

Instrumental part

x2

(I have no idea how this part is really played in the recording so I just put that

chord progression instead)

In the early mornings when I'm up before dawn

You say "why don't you stay" but you keep sleeping on

  Maybe you're just used to me being gone

  Cause if you know that I don't want to go

  So why don't you try

  When it's time to go

  Why don't you try

  To stand in my way

  Cause we both know

  I can't stop myself

  Why don't you

  Why don't you try

  When it's time to go, oh

  Cause I don't want to have to go

  And be the one to leave you holding on alone

  But this, this is my goodbye

  So why don't you try

x2

  End on
