Lyrics
Stay
Expression urging someone to remain or not depart
I walk to the edge again, searching for the truth
Continuously seeking the truth, possibly at a challenging or risky point
Taken by the memories of all that I've been through
Overwhelmed by memories of past experiences and struggles
If I could hear your voice then I might be
Desiring reassurance or support through hearing a familiar voice
Okay
Suggesting a potential improvement or comfort if the voice is heard
I know that I've been wrong but I'm begging you
Acknowledging past mistakes and pleading for forgiveness or understanding
To stay. Won't you stay?
A request for the person to remain present
Will you be here or will I be alone?
Uncertainty about the presence or absence of the person in the future
Will I be scared? You'll teach me how to be strong
Hope for guidance and strength from the person
And if I fall down will you help me carry on?
Seeking assistance during difficult times or moments of weakness
I cannot do this alone.
Admission of inability to overcome challenges without support
I wish that I could turn back time just to have
Regret and desire to alter past events for self-improvement
One more chance to be the man I need to be.
Yearning for another opportunity to become a better version of oneself
I pray you'll understand.
Hoping for understanding despite past shortcomings
If I could hear your voice I might be okay.
Belief that hearing the person's voice could provide solace or reassurance
I know that I've been wrong but I'm begging you to stay.
Repeated plea for the person to remain despite past wrongs
Won't you stay?
Continued request for the person to stay
I need your hand to help me make it through
Seeking support and assistance to navigate challenges
Again
Emphasizing the need for continual help
Nothing compares to how I feel when I look at
Intense feelings experienced when looking at the person
You
Highlighting the importance and impact of the person being addressed
You never know, you never know tomorrow
Emphasizing uncertainty about the future
You never know, you never know tomorrow, don't
Reinforcing the unpredictability of the future and urging not to leave
Walk away
Urging against departing or abandoning the situation
I am not alone I know you're there.
Acknowledgment of the presence and support of the addressed person
