I Won't Stay Lyrics

If i go home
And come back another day
Tell me i won't miss you much
And i won't stay

And i saw danger
When i went to look the other way
Didn't think i'd miss you much
Didn't think, i know i never think
Didn't think i'd miss you much, i forgot to think

And i got my cats and my carpets
And my fish in my brain
I got the walls around me
They never change
I got my cats and my carpets
And the walls around me

Well hello again
You're another hour late
You didn't think i'd notice
You didn't think, I know you never think
You didn't think i'd notice
Well you forgot to think

And i got my cats and my carpets
And my fish in my brain
I got the walls around me
They never change
I got my cats and my carpets
And the walls around me

If i go home and come back another day
Tell me i won't miss you much
And i won't stay

And i got my cats and my carpets
And my fish in my brain
I got the walls around me
They never change
I got my cats and my carpets
And the walls around me

If i go home 
And come back another day 
Tell me i won't miss you much 
And i won't stay

And i saw danger 
When i went to look the other way 
Didn't think i'd miss you much 
Didn't think, i know i never think 
Didn't think i'd miss you much, i forgot to think

And i got my cats and my carpets 
And my fish in my brain 
I got the walls around me 
They never change 
I got my cats and my carpets 
And the walls around me

Well hello again 
You're another hour late 
You didn't think i'd notice 
You didn't think, I know you never think 
You didn't think i'd notice 
Well you forgot to think

And i got my cats and my carpets 
And my fish in my brain 
I got the walls around me 
They never change 
I got my cats and my carpets 
And the walls around me

If i go home and come back another day 
Tell me i won't miss you much 
And i won't stay

And i got my cats and my carpets 
And my fish in my brain 
I got the walls around me 
They never change 
I got my cats and my carpets 
And the walls around me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
