Lyrics

I Won't Ask You To Stay

Written by Francine Mancini c2011 ASCAP

Verse I
Just another breezy Friday night alone
Sitting on the porch
and you're far a way from home
Expecting your call
Can't hear the phone
Don't know why
But when it rings
My heart turns to stone

So you called to say
You want to leave me
You called from miles a way
After all the years
That have brought us
To today
You couldn't say it to my face
So if you want to go
Then go now
Go on and leave me
Leave me here alone and broken in two
Is that what you want to do
Well I'll give you one clue

Chorus
I won't ask you to stay
You know I got my pride
I won't ask you to stay
I'll take it all in stride
I won't ask you to stay
Though I want you to want to

They say if you love someone
then set them free
Set them free
So I guess it wasn't meant to be
Cause you're not coming back to me
But I won't ask you to stay

Verse II
One phone call
and you walk away
without a memory
Is she standing there beside you
while you break my heart
Never thought you would do this to us
but I guess I'm not so smart

Chorus

So you called to say you want to leave me
You called from miles away
