Bm   D      Em         G               Bm
Sometimes I need to remember just to breathe
Sometimes I need you to stay away from me
Sometimes I'm in disbelief I didn't know
                        C
Somehow, I need you to go

Chorus:
       Bm               D
Don't stay (forget our memories,
    G            F#
forget our possibilities)
What you were changing me into
(Just give me myself back and) don't stay
(Forget our memories, forget our possibilities)
Take all your faithlessness with you
(Just give me myself back and) don't stay

Sometimes I feel like I trusted you too well
Sometimes I just feel like screaming at myself
Sometimes I'm in disbelief I didn't know
Somehow, I need to be alone

Chorus

              Bm     Am C
I don't need you anymore
I don't want to be ignored
I don't need one more day of you wasting me away
I don't need you anymore
I don't want to be ignored
I don't need one more day of you wasting me away
With no apologies

Chorus

Don't stay
Don't stay
