Bury it in the garden

At midnight by the moon

Cover up the traces

Lick and dress your wounds

Burn it up or drown it you can try

But what has never lived can never die

And it doesn't go away



It stays

It stays

It stays

It stays



I saw you standing in the kitchen

Drinking champagne from a mug

Should I have waited ‘til you noticed me

Was I ash upon the rug



Sometimes you can not remove the stain

And if you do it's absence still remains

And it doesn't go away



It stays

It stays

It stays

It stays

It fights another day

It doesn't go away

It stays

It stays

It stays

It stays



It's as simple as that

I can't add to it

We had our chance and we blew it

Worse than that well we knew it

Well we knew it



Every day's the morning after

Maybe last night broke the curse

But it was only in remission

It'll come back even worse



In your dreams its falling far behind

But just like daylight coming through the blinds

It doesn't go away



It stays

It stays

It stays

It stays

It fights another day

It doesn't go away

It stays

It stays

It stays

It stays

It fights another day

Do not go away

Stay

Stay

Stay

Stay

Do not go away

Stay
