Ingrid Avison - Why Do I Stay? Lyrics

You ripped off the frame from the wall
Said it's my fault again
I try to explain but with whiskey on your breath
You're a ticking bomb
Why do I stay
Now I'm a crumpled up heap on the floor
The dog's been barking for a while
Teardrops are sticking my cheek to the tile
Can't look you in the eye anymore
So why why do I stay
When your love feels a lot like hate
Oh why why do I stay
But I'll go on and hide it from all of my friends
So I don't feel like I failed
I'll water it down say you're working it out
That you're getting help again
Oh but why why do I stay
When your love feels a lot like hate
Oh why why do I stay
Cause you make it look easy as you walk out and leave me
And when you crawl back you'll say all the same sweet things
How I'm your whole world and you'll promise you'll change
And I want you to change
But I know the truth
Is black and blue
It's black and blue
Black and blue
So why why do I stay
When your love feels a lot like hate
Oh why why do I stay
Why why do I stay
Why do I stay
