And now you tell me That could never show That when you leave that You never really go CHORUS: You can stay forever But it won't work out You can say you're leavin' But I have my doubts You could have gone But you couldn't have shown That you didn't know What you knew I've known When you can tell me What it is you know Then maybe, baby I'll let you go But since I can't And you know we won't Then you can't tell me What it is that you don't CHORUS You couldn't have gone But you'd say "you know" And all the time you spent Was worth the show It could work forever And it won't go wrong You can say it, yeah That you hate this song It's all true And it's worked out fine After all the time In a working line CHORUS
