Stay
Unraveling Hearts: A Tale of Redemption and Longing
Lyrics
I do the same thing I told you that I never would
I repeat the same actions I promised not to do
I told you I'd change, even when I knew I never could
I claimed I would change, although I knew it was unlikely
Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
Admitting that I can't find anyone better than you
I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey (oh)
Expressing the urgent need for you to stay
I get drunk, wake up, I'm wasted still
After getting intoxicated, I wake up still in a wasted state
I realize the time that I wasted here
Realizing the time I've squandered in this condition
I feel like you can't feel the way I feel
Feeling that you may not understand my emotions
Oh, I'll be fucked up if you can't be right here
Expressing distress if you are not present with me
Oh-oh-oh-whoa (oh-oh-whoa, oh-oh-whoa)
Repeating a melodic expression of emotions
Oh-oh-oh-whoa (oh-oh-whoa, oh-oh-whoa)
-Oh-oh-oh-whoa (oh-oh-whoa, oh-oh-whoa)
-Oh, I'll be fucked up if you can't be right here
Emphasizing the emotional impact of your absence
I do the same thing I told you that I never would
Repeating the cycle of undesirable behavior
I told you I'd change, even when I knew I never could
Reiterating the false promise of change
Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
Acknowledging the difficulty of finding someone as good as you
I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey
Reiterating the plea for you to stay
I do the same thing I told you that I never would
Repeating the pattern of undesired actions
I told you I'd change even when I knew I never could
Repeating the false claim of potential change
Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
Acknowledging the challenge of finding a better match
I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey
Emphasizing the desperate need for you to stay
When I'm away from you, I miss your touch (ooh-ooh)
Expressing a longing for your physical contact when apart
You're the reason I believe in love
You are the reason I believe in love
It's been difficult for me to trust (ooh-ooh)
Admitting difficulty in trusting others
And I'm afraid that I'ma fuck it up
Fearing that I might ruin the relationship
Ain't no way that I can leave you stranded
Promising not to leave you stranded
'Cause you ain't ever left me empty-handed
Acknowledging your consistent support
And you know that I know that I can't live without you
Acknowledging my dependence on you
So, baby, stay
Repeating the plea for you to stay
Oh-oh-oh-whoa (oh-oh-whoa, oh-oh-whoa)
Repeating a melodic expression of emotions
Oh-oh-oh-whoa (oh-oh-whoa, oh-oh-whoa)
-Oh-oh-oh-whoa (oh-oh-whoa, oh-oh-whoa)
-I'll be fucked up if you can't be right here
Highlighting the emotional impact of your absence
I do the same thing I told you that I never would
Repeating the undesirable behavior pattern
I told you I'd change, even when I knew I never could
Reiterating the false promise of change
Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
Acknowledging the challenge of finding someone as good as you
I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey
Stressing the urgent need for you to stay
I do the same thing I told you that I never would
Repeating the undesired actions committed
I told you I'd change even when I knew I never could
Repeating the false claim of potential change
Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
Acknowledging the difficulty of finding someone as good as you
I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey
Emphasizing the desperate need for you to stay
Oh-oh-oh
Concluding melodic expression
I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey
Final plea for you to stay
