It was causing an effect You said you'd kill it, you haven't yet Staring at a bed we shared as friends And you stop smoking just to try for a while While I provoke your nicotine habit, a habit Standing holding hands just as friends there's no love With no love this world would surely end The world's end is no place to start life, we'd start a trend And I could not forgive you for that What a state What a state... What a state Why don't you stay?

What a state Why don't you stay? What a state Why don't you stay? What a state Why don't you stay...oh...
