Nothing Left to Stay For

We’ve had this same conversation

A hundred different ways

Swore this time would be different

Swore we’d finally make a change

We gave a little, took a little

Bent until we couldn’t bend no more

And now we’re standing in the silence

Like we don’t know what we’re waiting for

Say something that’ll stop me

I swear I’ll do the same

Give me one good reason

That ain’t just love or yesterday

We don’t wanna say goodbye

We don’t wanna call it over

After all these years together

How do you just close that door?

There’s still love between us

God knows there’s still more

But not wanting to leave

Ain’t the same as having something to stay for

So we’re standing here together

Neither one reaching for the door

We don’t wanna say goodbye

There’s just nothing left to stay for

I still know how you take your coffee

You still know when something’s wrong

We still laugh at all the same things

Still know every word to our old songs

There’s a thousand little pieces

Of a life we can’t ignore

But memories can fill a hallway

They can’t give you something to stay for

Tell me we can fix this

Like we’ve said a thousand times

Tell me there’s still somewhere

We haven’t crossed that same old line

We don’t wanna say goodbye

We don’t wanna call it over

After all these years together

How do you just close that door?

There’s still love between us

God knows there’s still more

But not wanting to leave

Ain’t the same as having something to stay for

So we’re standing here together

Neither one reaching for the door

We don’t wanna say goodbye

There’s just nothing left to stay for

Maybe that’s the cruelest part

There ain’t a heart here made of stone

Nobody cheated, nobody lied

Nobody wanted to let go

We just kept trying to save something

That kept slipping through our hands

And maybe love can still be real

Even when it can’t make two people last

We don’t wanna say goodbye

God, we don’t wanna call it over

I still wanna wake beside you

You still wanna pull me closer

There’s still love between us

Maybe there always will be more

But love can keep you holding on

Long after there’s nothing to hold on for

So if you’re waiting for me to leave

I’m waiting on you too

Neither one of us can say the words

Neither one wants them to be true

We don’t wanna say goodbye

We never thought we’d reach this door

But there’s nothing left to promise

Nothing left to fight for

And there’s nothing left

To stay for

So stay here just a minute

Before we become before

I don’t wanna say goodbye

There’s just nothing left

To stay for
