	~~Why do~~ you do ~~this to me?~~<br>
	~~Showing me all that I'm good for<br>~~

	~~Who was far too much in love with the world~~<br>		Don't look away - give it a chance for once<br>

'''"Why Won't You Stay"''' is the first song on [[start|American Music Club]]'s 1991 album, ''[[Everclear]]''.

==Lyrics==
Will this night fulfill all our promises 
And bury us in peace 
Will it leave us free and forgetful 
Or at least bring some sleep

Your eyes don't catch the little things 
As they narrow on your fall 
I'm checking your pulse 'cause you're so quiet 
I'm kissing you but you don't feel it 
Why do you do this to me? 
Showing me all that I'm good for 
Is to watch you sleep as lifeless as an angel 
She was the most beautiful cloud 
That ever passed before the face of a girl 
Seems like nothing's too good for this life 
Some things are too good for this world

And our names and our faces 
Well they're just spare change 
In memory of a soul 
That kept dropping spare change

Why won't you stay?

In memory of a little girl 
Who was far too much in love with the world 
And who didn't really wanna stick around for the end

Why won't you stay?
