Stay Away

STAY AWAY - Written by Carroll Bryant

How could you just pretend
Pretend that you didn't know me
When you saw me yesterday

I thought at least we could be friends
Friends can last forever
But I guess you will never think that way so

Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna be
Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna treat me
You got a lot to learn
A lot to learn about love
Instead you just burn
You burn hearts and tear them apart so
Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna be
Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna treat me
You act so immature
So I'm closing the door
And if you're gonna act that way then please
Just stay away

What am I to do
Do now that we're through
I guess I'll have to play it day to day

I thought that I would try
Try but didn't know why
Until you passed me by with nothing to say so

Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna be
Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna treat me
You got a lot to learn
A lot to learn about love
Instead you just burn
You burn hearts and tear them apart so
Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna be
Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna treat me
You act so immature
So I'm closing the door
And if you're gonna act that way then please
Just stay away

It's the dawning of a new beginning
It's time I learned to live
I'm done with letting you do all the taking
It's your turn to give
Because I already gave to you the part I never gave before
But you had to completely destroy me
And leave the pieces laying on the floor

I can't take anymore so

Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna be
Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna treat me
You got a lot to learn
A lot to learn about love
Instead you just burn
You burn hearts and tear them apart so
Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna be
Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna treat me
You act so immature
So I'm closing the door
And if you're gonna act that way then please
Just stay away
