You Don't Have to Stay Forever

everybody held their breath when you walked in
guess no one thought to tell me
you were back in town again
and everybody remembers how you shut me down
let me tell you, these jaws are dropping
you left me right when we walked out
so good to see you now
it's as though you were never gone
even after all this time
and i want you more than ever
and i know you'll never be mine
you don't have to stay forever
you don't have to stay forever
you don't have to stay forever
but maybe you can stay tonight
arm in arm and strolling down that riverside
two broken hearts beating fast and right in time
got nothing to lose i might as well lay it on the line
i don't want to be alone so why don't you stay with me tonight
so good to see you now
it's as though you were never gone
even after all this time
and i want you more than ever
and i know you'll never be mine
you don't have to stay forever
you don't have to stay forever
you don't have to stay forever
but maybe you can stay tonight
know it feels the same against my skin
feels so right just to be with you again
still not over the first time you let me go
i don't hold that against you
and i wanted you to know
it's so good to see you now
it's as though you were never gone
even after all this time
and i want you more than ever
and i know you'll never be mine
you don't have to stay forever
you don't have to stay forever
you don't have to stay forever
but maybe you can stay tonight
