Linking Park - Don't stay
Written from someone else's perspective. Being true or not is not really an issue; this is just an attempt to be in someone's shoes
“bb. Take care”. I bid you farewell, and prepare to head home… It has been a week since the last time we met in that coffee corner. Normally you would have asked me to go out again either for another drink, or a lunch, but you said nothing like that these days. Who cares if you won’t take me out again? Talking to you only gives me more headaches. Aren’t I having enough of these already? A busy job always keeps me at the office over 6 pm each day; a damned thief got away with all my savings for a new house; a stressful law degree requires me to have a much higher score in English. So why don’t you just go.
“sometimes I need to remember just to breathe
sometimes I need you to stay away from me
sometimes I'm in disbelief I didn't know
somehow I need you to go”
Here comes the lift, and I step into it… It is funny that you keep asking me whether I trust you. Why I would ever trust you then? We can only be friends, and nothing more than that – I said that from the very beginning. But you came at lengths to break it. Those are just feelings, why don’t you just wake up and realize that? I don’t believe that you ever forget these guilty feelings and take me as a friend. You will not think crazily about a friend like that. You will not wait impatiently for a friend’s call like that. You will not write too much about a friend like that. I am not a fool, and you should never forget that.
“sometimes I feel like I trusted you too well
sometimes I just feel like screaming at myself
sometimes I'm in disbelief I didn't know
somehow I need to be alone”
I take a deep breathe of the outdoor air and start walking toward the parking site… I could have made you go. Of course I could, but why I did not do it? I might as well just ignore your calls, delete all your texts, and block your emails. That will definitely hurt you badly, but time will heal your heart – maybe its gonna hurt me too. Haha, it is such a silly idea that it will even hurt me. I am strong, don’t you see that? Furthermore, there is nothing here that ever hurt me. No memories. No possibilities. No promises. Apparently there is nothing between us. So do not think any more of me, do not worry any more about me, and do not care any more for me. Just forget me! Don’t stay!
“don't stay
forget our memories
forget our possibilities
what you were changing me into
[just give me myself back and]
don't stay”
Home I drive alone, leaving everything behind… "sometimes I need you to stay away from me", but most of the time, I want you to be with me. Don't you realize that? You stupid idiot...

Lyrics:
Sometimes I
need to remember just to breathe
Sometimes I
need you to STAY AWAY FROM ME
Sometimes I'm
in disbelief I didn't know
Somehow I
need you to go
--Chorus--
Don't Stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
(Just give me myself back and)
Don't Stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
(Just give me myself back and)
Don't Stay
Sometimes I
feel like I trusted you too well
Sometimes I
just feel like SCREAMING AT MYSELF
Sometimes I'm
in disbelief I didn't know
Somehow I
need to be alone
--Chorus--
Don't Stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
(Just give me myself back and)
Don't Stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
(Just give me myself back and)
Don't Stay
I don't need you
anymore
I don't want to be ignored
I don't need one more day
of you're wasting me away
I don't need you anymore
I don't want to be ignored
I don't need one more day
Of you're wasting me away...
(with no apologies)
--Chorus--
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
(Just give me myself back and)
Don't Stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
(Just give me myself back and)
Don't stay
Don't stay
Don't Stay
