The Ram Jams - Stayaway Lyrics

If I go driving then I'll put on music
If I put on music then I'll play your song
If I play your song then I think I'll lose it
End up pulled up at the front of your lawn
So I don't go driving, no, I just stay in
I don't do most things I used to do
'Cause every moment is a fork in the road
And all my roads lead back to you

No one ever told me leaving was the easy part
I gotta stay away
Leaving you was easy, now I gotta do what's hard
I gotta stay away

If I turn off the light then I might start thinking
If I start thinking, I'll think of the time when
You said that you loved me, you said I was perfect
You said you were sorry, you said you were selfish
If I don't stop it, before I know it
All the bad things never happened
You never lied or treated me bad and
If you did then you'll wish you hadn't
Start believing you were right and
I was being too dramatic
So I gotta leave the light on
For tonight
Just so I can stay away
I gotta stay away
Now I gotta do what's hard
I gotta stay away

Any little misstep
I'll be at your doorstep
Talking 'bout forgiveness
Giving you my heart back
Just so you can break it
One more time before I say
I gotta stay away
