Please Stay (Poem Translation)

And you say, that you’re leaving

And you say, that you mean what you say, when you say you’re leaving

And you say, that you hope I can understand that

And you say, that you hope we can still be friends

And that you should hit me up sometime to let me know how it’s going

And you say, that you’re terribly sorry about all this

And then you say to me

Don’t you have anything to say in response?

And then I think, ok fine, before you leave, I’ll say something

Please stay, please stay, please stay, please don’t stay the way you are

Please stay, please stay, please stay, please don’t stay the way you are

Please stay, please stay, please stay, please don’t stay the way you are

And please don’t be up in arms when everything’s all fucked up

And you miss me

And maybe that’s what I wish I would’ve said

But I didn’t

In reality I only wanted to tell you that I haven’t forgiven you

I guess you could say that I’m just not right in the head

And I promise you that the next time we happen to see each other

It’s going to be terribly awkward

Because this whole “say something” thing…

I’ve said so much that I can barely hear my self speak anymore.

Please stay, please stay, please stay please, don’t stay the way you are

Please stay, please stay, please stay please, don’t stay the way you are

Please stay, please stay, please stay please, don’t stay the way you are

And don’t call me in the middle of the night

When everything’s all fucked up and you miss me
