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

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

Because 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 house from always leaving

I 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

Because we both know

I can't stop myself

In the early mornings when I'm up before dawn

Say "why don't you stay" but you keep sleeping on

Maybe you're just too used to me being gone

Cause if you know that I go when I go

Then why don't you try

When it's time to go

Why don't you try

To stand in my way

Because we both know

I can't stop myself

Why don't you try

Why don't you try

When it's time to go

Cause I don't wanna have to go and be the one

I want to leave your home I'm not alone

But this is my goodbye

So why don't you try Ohhh

Why don't you try

Why don't you try

Why don't you try

Ohhh'yeah yeah
