This is wrong I should be gone Yet here we lay Cause I can't stay away Roses bloom In your dirty room I Come to play Cause I can't stay away No I can't stay away [Chorus] I'm conflicted I inhale now I'm addicted To this place To you babe I can't stay away Can't stay away Get up, go down Then we go and more round It's wrong, they say I can't stay a, I can't stay away I can't stay a, I can't stay away I was numb For you I come Night and day And I can't stay away No I can't stay away [Chorus] I wish I could Leave and never return Baby, I know I should But for you I'd burn Stay away Cause I can't stay away [Chorus] I can't stay away I can't stay away I can't stay away, I can't stay away
