Can you smell my desperation
From miles and miles away?
Can you tell I like temptation
Less and less every day?
Can you see my situation
Start to decay? Hey
Well, the weight is on my shoulders
And I understand the truth
And it's not that I am bitter,
But I'm different than any youth
And I'm calling out, calling out
Out your name
[Chorus:]
Why doesn't anybody stay?
It's like they all go away
Nobody stays
'Cause everyone just fades away
Have you roped any conclusions
From the riddles that you found?
Have you peddled illusions
And your reasons are not sound?
Been walking 'round for months and days
Thinking 'bout you now, 'bout you now
[Chorus:]
Why doesn't anybody stay?
It's like they all just go away
Nobody stays
Everyone just fades away, hey
I think that there's something wrong with me
There's no one left
I need the words to tell it
And rebel against what's sitting
On my chest
[Chorus:]
Nobody stays (everyone just fades away)
They are all away
Nobody stays (nobody stays),
Nobody stays (everyone just fades away),
Oh (nobody stays)
Nobody stays (nobody stays)
Everyone just fades away
(It's like they all go away), fades away
Why doesn't anybody stay? (nobody stays)
It's like they all just go away, ah
