All You Had to Do Was Stay (Taylor's Version)

(Hey, hey, hey)

(Hey, hey, hey)

(Hey, hey, hey)

(Hey, hey, hey)

People like you always want back the love they gave away

And people like me wanna believe you when you say you've changed

The more I think about it now, the less I know

All I know is that you drove us off the road

Stay

Hey, all you had to do was stay

Had me in the palm of your hand

Then why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in?

(Stay)

Hey, now you say you want it back

Now that it's just too late

Well, it could've been easy

All you had to do was (stay)

All you had to do was (stay)

All you had to do was (stay)

All you had to do was (stay)

All you had to do was stay

Here you are now, calling me up, but I don't know what to say

I've been picking up the pieces of the mess you made

People like you always want back the love they pushed aside

But people like me are gone forever when you say goodbye

(Stay)

Hey, all you had to do was stay

Had me in the palm of your hand

Then why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in?

(Stay)

Hey, now you say you want it back

Now that it's just too late

Well, it could've been easy

All you had to do was (stay)

All you had to do was (stay)

All you had to do was (stay)

All you had to do was (stay, stay, stay, stay, stay)

Let me remind you

This was what you wanted (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)

You ended it

You were all I wanted (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)

But not like this

Not like this

Not like this

Oh, all you had to do was-

(Stay)

Hey, all you had to do was stay

Had me in the palm of your hand

Then why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in?

(Stay)

Hey, now you say you want it back

Now that it's just too late

Well, it could've been easy

All you had to do was (stay)

Hey, all you had to do was stay

Had me in the palm of your hand

Then why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in?

(Stay)

Hey, now you say you want it back

Now that it's just too late

Well, it could've been easy (all you had to do was stay)

All you had to do was (stay)

All you had to do was (stay) oh

All you had to do was (stay)

All you had to do was (stay) ooh

All you had to do was (stay)
