You used to tell me that you love me everyday
(I didn't know what to say)
But there was never any doubt I always knew
That to me you said true

But my heart never could be so committed
So are my strange passions you permitted

Why did you stay?
Why did you stay?
Why did you stay when I treated you that way?

I was so cruel
(He was so kind)
Why did I feel I had to leave you behind?
(But he was so sweet)
Oh yeah
Well I've had just about enough of sweet

Why did you stay?
Why did you stay?
Why did you stay when I treated you that way?

Why did you stay?
Why did you stay?
Why did you stay?
Why did you stay?
What did you say?
Why did you stay with me?
