You could have asked me to stay
I would have stayed for you
You gotta have your own way
And I love that about you
You could have asked me to stay
I wonder what you do now
You could have asked me to stay
I wonder what you found
You never asked me for love
You never had to ask
But when you pulled out that gun
Oh boy, our race finished fast
I never held you at fault
I don't know who was to blame
But if you're pointing at me
I guess that I'll play your game
You could have asked me to stay
I would have stayed for you
You gotta have your own way
But I love that about you
You could have asked me to stay
I wonder what you do now
You could have asked me to stay
I wonder what you found
I was afraid I was wrong
Afraid that you would not ask
It felt safer to run
And more dangerous to last
I never saw you again
And then the years rolled on by
I just want one more day
To give you what you asked
You could have asked me to stay
