[Verse 1]
Bury it in the garden
At midnight by the moon
Cover up the traces
Lick and dress your wounds
Burn it up or drown it, you can try
What has never lived can never die
And it doesn't go away

[Chorus]
It stays, it stays, it stays, it stays

[Verse 2]
I saw you standing in the kitchen
Drinking champagne from a mug
Should I have waited till you noticed me?
Was I ash upon the rug?
Sometimes you can not remove the stain
And if you do its absence still remains
And it doesn't go away

[Chorus]
It stays, it stays, it stays, it stays
It fights another day
It doesn't go away
It stays, it stays, it stays, it stays
[Bridge]
It's as simple as that
I can't add to it
We had our chance
And we blew it
Worse than that
Well, we knew it
Well, we knew it

[Verse 3]
Every day's the morning after
Maybe last night broke the curse
But it was only in remission
It'll come back even worse
In your dreams it's falling far behind
But just like daylight coming through the blinds
It doesn't go away

[Chorus]
It stays, it stays, it stays, it stays
It fights another day
It doesn't go away
It stays, it stays, it stays, it stays
It fights another day
Do not go away
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Do not go away
Stay
