Intro

(But I wanna stay)

Verse 1

I want you to stay'Til I'm in the grave'Til I rot away, dead and buried'Til I'm in the casket you carryIf you go, I'm goin' too, uh'Cause it was always you (Alright)And if I'm turnin' blue, please don't save meNothin' left to lose without my baby

Refrain

Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I knowI said I'd never think I wasn't better aloneCan't change the weather, might not be foreverBut if it's forever, it's even better

Pre-Chorus

And I don't know what I'm cryin' forI don't think I could love you moreIt might not be long, but baby, I

Chorus

I'll love you 'til the day that I die'Til the day that I die'Til the light leaves my eyes'Til the day that I die

Verse 2

I want you to see, hmHow you look to me, hmYou wouldn't believe if I told yaYou would keep the compliments I throw yaBut you're so full of shit, uhTell me it's a bit, ohSay you don't see it, your mind's pollutedSay you wanna quit, don't be stupid

Pre-Chorus

And I don't know what I'm cryin' forI don't think I could love you moreIt might not be long, but baby, IDon't wanna say goodbye

Chorus

Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I know ('Til the day that I die)I said I'd never think I wasn't better alone ('Til the light leaves my eyes)Can't change the weather, might not be forever ('Til the day that I die)But if it's forever, it's even better

I knew you in another lifeYou had that same look in your eyesI love you, don't act so surprised
