Lay it all on the table
I put my faults where you’ll see
You’re too much of an angel
To be wondering if you’re good enough for me

I could make you feel so special
I could make you wanna stay
But I can only write in pencil
So tell me why

Why can’t I love you
Why can’t I stay
As soon as I have you
I know I’ll run away
Why can’t I need you
Every day
Better to leave you
Or to have you this way

I’ve been feeling like a bad guy
But you tell me it’s not true
If I was heartless I would have lied and said
That I was satisfied spending my life with you

I could make you feel so special
I could make you wanna stay
But I can only write in pencil
So tell me why

Why can’t I love you
Why can’t I stay
As soon as I have you
I know I’ll run away
Why can’t I need you
Every day
Better to leave you
Or to have you this way

Is it better to walk away, walk away
Is it better to walk away, walk away

I could make you feel so special
I could make you wanna stay
But I can only write in pencil
So tell me why

Why can’t I love you
Why can’t I stay
As soon as I have you
I know I’ll run away
Why can’t I need you
Every day
Better to leave you
Or to have you this way

Is it better to walk away, walk away
Is it better to walk away, walk away
Is it better to walk away, walk away
Is it better to walk away, walk away
