[Verse 1]
If I see my old fDriends, we'll go out dancing
If we go out dancF#ming, then we'll go to the bar
If we go to the bEar, then there's gonna be drinking
If I drinEk, I wanna see where you arC#me
So I don't see my oDld friends, I donâ't go dancing
I don't do mF#most things I used to do
Actually, noEw that I'm thinking about it
I did most things to get to yoC#mu
[Chorus]
NDo one ever told me leaF#mving was the easy pEart
EI gotta stay away
DLeaving you was easy, nF#mow I gotta do what's hEard
EI gotta stay away
[Post-Chorus]
SDtay away, sF#mtay stay away
SEtay away, stay stay away
[Verse 2]
If I go driviDng then I'll put on music
If I put on muF#msic then I'll play our song
If I play our sonEg then I think I'll lose it
End up ballEed up at the front of your laC#mwn
So I don't go driDving, no, I just stay in
I don't do F#mmost things I used to do
Cause every moEment is a fork in the road
And all my rEoads lead back to yoC#mu (You, you)
[Chorus]
NDo one ever told me leaF#mving was the easy pEart
EI gotta stay away
DLeaving you was easy, nF#mow I gotta do what's hEard
EI gotta stay away
[Post-Chorus]
SDtay away, sF#mtay stay away
SEtay away, stay stay away
[Bridge]
If I turn off the liDght then I might start thinking
If I start thinkiF#mng, I'll think of the time when
You said that you lovEed me, you said I was perfect
You said you were soErry, you said you were selfish
If I don't stDop it, before I know it
All the F#mbad things never happened
You never lEied or treated me bad and
If you dEid then you'll wish you hadn't
Start Dbelieving you were right and
I was F#mbeing too dramatic
So I gEotta leave the light on
For Etonight
 N.C.
Just so I can stay away
[Chorus]
NDo one ever told me leaF#mving was the easy pEart
EI gotta stay away
DLeaving you was easy, nF#mow I gotta do what's hEard
EI gotta stay away
DAny little misstep
F#mI'll be at your doorstep
ETalking 'bout forgiveness
EGiving you my heart back
DJust so you can break it
F#mOne more time before I Esay
I gotta sEtay away
[Post-Chorus]
SDtay away, sF#mtay stay away
SEtay away, stay stay away
SDtay away, sF#mtay stay away
SEtay away, stay stay away
