Lyrics
I do the same thing I told you that I never would
I repeat a mistake I promised not to make
I told you I'd change, even when I knew I never could
I claimed I would transform, knowing deep down I couldn't
Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
I acknowledge that I can't find anyone better than you
I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey (oh)
I desperately want you to remain with me
I get drunk, wake up, I'm wasted still
I indulge in drinking, waking up still in a state of waste
I realize the time that I wasted here
I recognize the time I've squandered in this situation
I feel like you can't feel the way I feel
I sense that you may not understand my emotions
Oh, I'll be fucked up if you can't be right here
I'll be devastated if you're not by my side
Oh-oh-oh-whoa (oh-oh-whoa, oh-oh-whoa)
Repetition for emphasis on emotional distress
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'll be devastated if you're not by my side
I do the same thing I told you that I never would
Reiteration of repeating past mistakes
I told you I'd change, even when I knew I never could
I claimed I would change, knowing deep down I couldn't
Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
I acknowledge that I can't find anyone better than you
I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey
I desperately want you to remain with me
I do the same thing I told you that I never would
Reiteration of repeating past mistakes
I told you I'd change even when I knew I never could
I claimed I would change, knowing deep down I couldn't
Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
I acknowledge that I can't find anyone better than you
I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey
I desperately want you to remain with me
When I'm away from you, I miss your touch (ooh-ooh)
Expressing a yearning for physical closeness when apart
You're the reason I believe in love
You are the source of my belief in love
It's been difficult for me to trust (ooh-ooh)
Admitting struggles with trust in relationships
And I'm afraid that I'ma fuck it up
Fear of ruining the relationship
Ain't no way that I can leave you stranded
Promising not to abandon the partner
'Cause you ain't ever left me empty-handed
Recognizing the partner's consistent support
And you know that I know that I can't live without you
Acknowledging dependence on the partner
So, baby, stay
Pleading for the partner to stay
Oh-oh-oh-whoa (oh-oh-whoa, oh-oh-whoa)
Repetition for emphasis on emotional distress
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'll be devastated if you're not by my side
I do the same thing I told you that I never would
Reiteration of repeating past mistakes
I told you I'd change, even when I knew I never could
I claimed I would change, knowing deep down I couldn't
Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
I acknowledge that I can't find anyone better than you
I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey
I desperately want you to remain with me
I do the same thing I told you that I never would
Reiteration of repeating past mistakes
I told you I'd change even when I knew I never could
I claimed I would change, knowing deep down I couldn't
Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
I acknowledge that I can't find anyone better than you
I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey
I desperately want you to remain with me
