I said I’m done, I said I’m free

But your name still follows me

In every quiet part of my mind

I swear I leave you all the time

You don’t even call anymore

But I still check my phone like before

It’s embarrassing, I know it’s true

But I still kinda belong to you

And I hate it, hate it, hate it

How I always recreate it

Every ending that I wanted

Turns into something I’m still haunted by

I don’t know why I stay

When you don’t even look my way

I swear I’d walk away

But I’m back again the next day

It’s always the same, the same, the same

Say I’m fine but I’m not okay

I don’t know why I stay

But I stay anyway

My friends all say I need to run

But I just laugh like it’s fun

Like I don’t feel it in my chest

Like I don’t fail every test

Of letting go, of moving on

I say I’m over it, then I’m gone

Right back to where I shouldn’t be

Right back to you controlling me

And I hate it, hate it, hate it

How I always overplay it

Every memory I wanted gone

Keeps turning into a sad love song

I don’t know why I stay

When you don’t even look my way

I swear I’d walk away

But I’m back again the next day

It’s always the same, the same, the same

Say I’m fine but I’m not okay

I don’t know why I stay

But I stay anyway

Bridge

Maybe I like the hurt

Maybe I like the burn

Maybe I don’t wanna learn

What it means to let you go

I don’t know why I stay

Even when you push away

I swear I’d walk away

But I come back every day

It’s always the same, the same, the same

I call it love, but it feels like pain

I don’t know why I stay

But I stay anyway
