Why Don't You Try Lyrics - Kelly Clarkson

I am a woman 

Cut in two 

By ambitious pride 

Stuck in my ways 

Between you and my other life 

Now I have been around enough to know when love has ended 

And I believe that you and I deserve to be extended 

Why don't you try 

To make me stay 

When it's time to go 

Why don't you try 

To stand in my way 

Because we both know 

I can't stop myself

Our empty house 

You occupy 

When I'm far away 

Heavier hearts won't justify why I'm gone today 

Now I have hung a cloud above our lives from always leaving 

I figured you would at least make me give a better reason 

Why don't you try 

To make me stay 

When it's time to go 

Why don't you try 

To stand in my way 

Because we both know 

I can't stop myself 

In the early mornings when I'm up before dawn 

Say "why don't you stay" but you keep sleeping on 

Maybe you're just too used to me being gone 

Cause if you know that I go when I go 

Photos 

Then why don't you try 

To make me stay 

When it's time to go 

Why don't you try 

To stand in my way 

Because we both know 

I can't stop myself. 

Why don't you, 

Why don't you try 

When it's time to go, Oh 

Cause I don't wanna to have to go 

And be the one to leave you holdin' all the love 

But this, this is my goodbye 

So why don't you try Oh, Oh, 

Why don't you, 

Why don't you try, Yeah 

Why don't you try
