[Verse 1]
Why you gotta do this now
Put us under so much pressure
Why you gotta act brand new
Got us on the split like a brochure
Why you gotta be so cold
Acting so cold to my warm affections, affections
Effectively you breaking me down
Wearing me out
Play with my heart girl
This is the sound when doves cry, when doves cry
[Pre-Chorus]
Guess there's no fairy-tale ending
Fables they rarely come true
Nursery rhymes don't make sense half the time
But girl I've fallen and I don't know what to do
[Chorus]
And I wonder
Why you wanna stay away so long
Stay away so long
Stay away so long
Stay away so long
Stay away so long
[Verse 2]
You got me screamin' out
But you offer no assistance yeah
I got my reasons now
Still tryna trim the distance yeah
Silent since we been down
Give it all but I get no warm
But I get no warm affections, none of your attention
[Pre-Chorus]
Guess there's no fairy-tale ending
Fables they rarely come true
Nursery rhymes don't make sense half the time
But girl I've fallen and I don't know what to do
[Chorus]
And I wonder
Why you wanna stay away so long
Stay away so long
Stay away so long
Stay away so long
Stay away so long
And I wonder
Why you wanna stay away so long
Stay away so long
Stay away so long
Stay away so long
Stay away so long
