It didn't make sense
I cried for your presence
And you left a trail of breadcrumbs before you disappeared
I wanted you closer
But you checked the coast, sir
And faded into a place where I could never be

You said: Leave me alone
And I stayed home
And you let me walk away
You said: Leave me alone
And now you're gone
And I let you walk away

So stay gone
Stay gone
So stay gonе
Stay gone

Stay gone, stay gone, stay gonе, stay
Stay gone, stay gone, stay gone, stay
Stay gone, stay gone, stay gone, stay
Stay gone
Stay gone

Now you haunt my sleep time
I dream every nighttime
That you're in some dark place reachin' out for me, then let me go
I see you on highways
At the end of a picture
And the more I tear you off, the more you stick

You said: Leave me alone
And I stayed home
And you let me walk away
You said: Leave me alone
And now you're gone
And I let you walk away

So stay gone
Stay gone
So stay gone
Stay gone

Stay gone
Stay gone, stay gone, stay gone, stay
Stay gone, stay gone, stay gone, stay
Stay gone, stay gone, stay gone, stay
Stay gone
Stay gone

You're the ghost that I see in the mirror
And your ghost around me lingers
You're the ghost that I wish would disappear
Stay gone
