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

English translation

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 standin' on a tightrope alone

I hold my breath a little bit longer

Halfway out the door, but it won't close

I'm holdin' 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 bleedin', bleedin'

Why'd you whisper in the dark

Just to leave me in the night?

Now your silence has me screamin', screamin'

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

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

(Say, say, say, say)

Now I'm pacin' 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 standin' 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) say, "(Don't) don't (go) go"

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

Why'd you have to lead me on?

Why'd you have to twist the knife?

Walk away and leave me bleedin', bleedin'

Why'd you whisper in the dark

Just to leave me in the night?

Now your silence has me screamin', screamin'

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

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

(Say, say, say, say)

Why'd you have to (why'd you have to)

Make me want you? (Make me want you?)

Why'd you have to (why'd you have to)

Give me nothin' back?

Why'd you have to (why'd you have to)

Make me love you? (Make me love you?)

I said, "I love you" (I said, "I love you")

You say nothin' back

Why'd you have to lead me on?

Why'd you have to twist the knife?

Walk away and leave me bleedin', bleedin'

Why'd you whisper in the dark

Just to leave me in the night?

Now your silence has me screamin', screamin'

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

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

Whoa (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
