Say Don't Go (Taylor's Version) [From The Vault]

I've known it from the very start

We're a shot in the darkest dark

Oh no, oh no

I'm unarmed

The waiting is a sadness

Fading into madness

Oh no, oh no

It won't stop

I'm standing on a tightrope, alone

I hold my breath a little bit longer

Halfway out the door, but it won't close

I'm holding out hope for you to say, "Don't go"

I would stay forever if you say, "Don't go"

Why'd you have to lead me on?

Why'd you have to twist the knife?

Walk away and leave me bleeding, bleeding

Why'd you whisper in the dark

Just to leave me in the night?

Now your silence has me screaming, screaming

Say, "Don't go" (Say, "Don't go")

I would stay forever if you say, "Don't go" (Say, "Don't go")

Say, say, say, say

Now I'm pacing on shaky ground

Strike a match, then you blow it out

Oh no, oh no

It's not fair

'Cause you kiss me and it stops time

And I'm yours, but you're not mine

Oh no, oh no

You're not there

I'm standing on the sidewalk, alone

I wait for you to drive by

I'm trying to see the cards that you won't show

I'm about to fold unless you say, "Don't go" (Say, "Don't go")

I would stay forever if you say, "Don't go" (Say, "Don't go")

Why'd you have to lead me on?

Why'd you have to twist the knife?

Walk away and leave me bleeding, bleeding

Why'd you whisper in the dark

Just to leave me in the night?

Now your silence has me screaming, screaming

Say, "Don't go" (Say, "Don't go")

I would stay forever if you say, "Don't go" (Say, "Don't go")

Say, say, say, say

Why'd you have to make me want you? (Why'd you have to make me want you?)

Why'd you have to give me nothing back? (Why'd you have to)

Why'd you have to make me love you? (Why'd you have to make me love you?)

I said, "I love you," you say nothing back (I said, "I love you")

Why'd you have to lead me on?

Why'd you have to twist the knife?

Walk away and leave me bleeding, bleeding

Why'd you whisper in the dark

Just to leave me in the night?

Now your silence has me screaming, screaming

Say, "Don't go" (Say, "Don't go")

I would stay forever if you say, "Don't go" (Say, "Don't go")

Say, say, say, say

But you won't

But you won't

But you won't

I would stay forever if you say, "Don't go"

But you won't

But you won't

But you won't
