Why Don't You Try Lyrics - Kelly Clarkson

1 I am a woman

2 Cut in two

3 By ambitious pride

4 Stuck in my ways

5 Between you and my other life

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

7 But I believe that you and I deserve to be extended

8 So why don't you try

9 To make me stay

10 When it's time to go

11 Why don't you try

12 To stand in my way

13 'Cause we both know

14 I can't stop myself

15 Our empty house

16 You occupy

17 When I'm far away

18 Heavier hearts won't justify

19 Why I'm gone today

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

21 Figured you would at least make me give a better reason

22 So why don't you try

23 To make me stay

24 When it's time to go

25 Why don't you try

26 To stand in my way

27 Because we both know

28 I can't stop myself

29 In the early mornings when I'm up before dawn

30 You say "why don't you stay" but you keep sleeping on

31 Maybe you're just used to me being gone

32 Cause if you know that I don't want to go

33 Then why don't you try

34 Oh yeah

35 When it's time to go

36 Why don't you try

37 To stand in my way

38 'Cause we both know,

39 I can't stop myself

40 Why don't you

41 Why don't you try

42 When it's time to go, oh

43 'Cause I don't want to have to go

44 And be the one to leave you holding on alone

45 But this, this is my goodbye

46 So why don't you try

47 Oh oh, oh

48 Why don't you

49 Why don't you

50 Why don't you try
