Make Me Stay Lyrics by Ani Difranco

Make Me Stay

Im gonna turn
And walk away
You can wait
Til I am far along
Then run and come
And catch my arm
And say youd die
If I were gone
I want to hear you
Call my name
Its too easy
Just to say it soft
I dont like my language
Watered down
I dont like my edges
Rounded off

I cant always wait
For your circumstance to improve
Love is loose it
Shifts each time you move
Go ahead, put my back
Against the wall
Give it all up
Or dont give it to me at all
You never know this could be
Our last night
So step back
Step back into the light
So I can see your sillouette
Im not done looking yet

Safe the profile for the camera
Give me your eye to eye
I know all your secrets
And you know all of mine
Mostly I dont go
For the soft focus and the fantasy
I need something real
I can think
And say and see so

Im going to turn
And walk away
You wait til I am far along
Then run and come
And catch my arm
And say youd die
If I were gone
Yes Im going to turn
And walk away
You can watch me go
Or you can make me stay
