Lay it all on the table
I put my thoughts where you'll see
'Cause you're too much of an angel
To be wondering if you're good enough for me

I could make you feel so special
I could make you want to stay
But I can only write in pencil
So tell me why

Why can't I love you
Why can't I stay
Soon as I have you
I know I'll run away
Why can't I need you everyday
Is it better to leave you or have you this way?

I been feelin' like a bad guy
But you tell me it't not true
If I was heartless I would have light inside
I'd be satisfied spending my life with you

I could make you feel so special
I could make you want to stay
But I can only write in pencil
So tell me why

Why can't I love you
Why can't I stay
Soon as I have you
I know I'll run away
Why can't I need you everyday
Is it better to leave you or have you this way?

Is it better to
Walk away, walk away?
Is it better to
Walk away, walk away?

I could make you feel so special
I could make you want to stay
But I can only write in pencil
So tell me why

Why can't I love you
Why can't I stay
Soon as I have you
I know I'll run away
Why can't I need you everyday
Is it better to leave you or have you this way?

Is it better to
Walk away, walk away?
Is it better to
Walk away, walk away?
Is it better to
Walk away, walk away?
Is it better to
Walk away, walk away?
