Stay
Heartfelt Plea: Stay Through the Pain
Lyrics
I wash down an Ambien
I consume an Ambien (a sleep aid medication)
With a glass of wine, sad thoughts, and then
Accompanied by a glass of wine, contemplating sad thoughts
I lay in bed
Lying in bed
'Til the pain goes away for a minute
Enduring the pain until it subsides momentarily
Or at least until I fall asleep
Trying to sleep, acknowledging the deep emotional impact
Either way, this one cuts deep
The emotional pain is profound
Well red meets blue
Reference to emotions - red (intense) meets blue (sadness)
But blue meets gray
Blue (sadness) meets gray (ambiguity or uncertainty)
I'm dreaming 'bout the day
Dreaming of a future day without these feelings
I don't feel this way anymore
Hoping for a change in emotional state
My heart's breaking
Expressing a broken heart
And I'm down on my knees
In a vulnerable position, asking not to be abandoned
Begging you please don't go
Pleading to avoid separation
My heart's breaking and I'm coming undone
Feeling emotionally unravelled
Please don't run away
Pleading for the person to stay
Hold onto me
Asking for emotional support and connection
Stay
Reiterating the plea to stay
Sometimes I find myself
Reflecting on the past and missing the way things were
Missing how things used to be
Nostalgia for a previous state of the relationship
Me and you downtown, rainfall, Front Street
Recalling moments of love and connection
We were falling in love
Admitting to falling in love or feeling one-sided love
Or at least I was
Personal acknowledgment of feelings
Well time sped up but we stood still
Time passed quickly, but the relationship stayed stagnant
You realized the glass was half-filled
Realizing there's still positivity despite challenges
All that's left are sad songs
All that remains are sad memories
My heart's breaking
Reiteration of a broken heart
And I'm down on my knees
In a vulnerable position, asking not to be abandoned
Begging you please don't go
Pleading to avoid separation
My heart's breaking and I'm coming undone
Feeling emotionally unravelled
Please don't run away
Pleading for the person to stay
Hold onto me
Asking for emotional support and connection
Stay
Reiterating the plea to stay
Easy come, easy go
Acknowledging the transient nature of relationships
How do you know when to let go for good?
Questioning when to let go permanently
Sometimes laughing hurts
Recognizing that laughter can be painful
And I don't know what's worse
Expressing uncertainty about what is more challenging
I'm not okay, no
Admitting to emotional struggles
I'm not fine, but
Openly stating emotional distress
Here I am singing these rhymes
Singing about emotional pain repeatedly
Like a broken record
Comparing emotions to a broken record, repeating
My heart's breaking
Reiteration of a broken heart
And I'm down on my knees
In a vulnerable position, asking not to be abandoned
Begging you please don't go
Pleading to avoid separation
My heart's breaking and I'm coming undone
Feeling emotionally unravelled
Please don't run away
Pleading for the person to stay
Hold onto me
Asking for emotional support and connection
Stay
Reiterating the plea to stay
Hold onto me
Continuing to request support and connection
Stay
Final plea for the person to stay
