Make Me Stay Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Make Me Stay Lyrics

    I'm gonna turn
    and walk away
    you can wait
    til I am far along
    then run and come
    and catch my arm
    and say you'd die
    if I were gone
    I want to hear you
    call my name
    it's too easy
    just to say it soft
    I don't like my language
    watered down
    I don't like my edges
    rounded off

    I can't always wait
    for your circumstance to improve
    love is loose it
    shifts each time you move
    go ahead, put my back
    against the wall
    give it all up
    or don't give it to me at all
    you never know this could be
    our last night
    so step back
    step back into the light
    so I can see your sillouette
    I'm not done looking yet

    safe the profile for the camera
    give me your eye to eye
    I know all your secrets
    and you know all of mine
    mostly I don't go
    for the soft focus and the fantasy
    I need something real
    I can think
    and say and see so

    I'm going to turn
    and walk away
    you wait til I am far along
    then run and come
    and catch my arm
    and say you'd die
    if I were gone
    yes I'm going to turn
    and walk away
    you can watch me go
    or you can make me stay
