Lyrics
I do the same thing I told you that I never would
I'm repeating the behavior I promised I wouldn't
I told you I'd change, even when I knew I never could
I claimed I'd change, despite knowing I couldn't
Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
I can't find someone better than you
I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey (oh)
I really need you to stay with me
I get drunk, wake up, I'm wasted still
I drink excessively and wake up still intoxicated
I realize the time that I wasted here
I realize I've wasted a lot of time
I feel like you can't feel the way I feel
I think you can't empathize with my emotions
Oh, I'll be fucked up if you can't be right here
I'll be in a bad state if you're not here
Oh-oh-oh-whoa (oh-oh-whoa, oh-oh-whoa)
Reiteration of feeling distraught if you're not present
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
-I do the same thing I told you that I never would
Repetition of failing to keep promises and needing the person to stay
I told you I'd change, even when I knew I never could
-Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
-I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey
-I do the same thing I told you that I never would
Continued struggle with repeated behavior and reliance on the person
I told you I'd change even when I knew I never could
-Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
-I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey
-When I'm away from you, I miss your touch (ooh-ooh)
I miss your physical affection when we're apart
You're the reason I believe in love
You give me faith in love
It's been difficult for me to trust (ooh-ooh)
I've found it hard to trust in relationships
And I'm afraid that I'ma fuck it up
I fear I'll ruin our relationship
Ain't no way that I can leave you stranded
I won't abandon you; I owe you the same loyalty
'Cause you ain't ever left me empty-handed
You've always supported me
And you know that I know that I can't live without you
I'm aware I can't live without you
So, baby, stay
Please, stay with me
Oh-oh-oh-whoa (oh-oh-whoa, oh-oh-whoa)
Reiteration of emotional turmoil if the person leaves
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
-I do the same thing I told you that I never would
Repeated acknowledgment of failure and dependence on the person
I told you I'd change, even when I knew I never could
-Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
-I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey
-I do the same thing I told you that I never would
-I told you I'd change even when I knew I never could
-Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
-I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey
-Oh-oh-oh
Desperate plea for the person to stay
I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey
