It’s been awhile since I’ve really cared

About something I never knew was there

Lonely day laying on my floor

Your favorite shirt is hanging on my door

And all I can do is cry 
Dbm                                       E
Thinkin' ‘bout the things I never got to say 
    F#        B    E
Why don’t you stay? 
    B     F#  E
Why don’t you stay?
