Lyrics
Stay
Expressing a desire for the listener to stay.
But don't wait
Emphasizing the importance of not delaying.
Cause I just need a chance
Seeking an opportunity to set things right.
Oh to make things right
Expressing a yearning to correct a mistake or mend a situation.
Can we talk this out?
Asking if communication and resolution are possible.
Or are we through?
Questioning the status of the relationship, hinting at a possible end.
Just tell me this ain't true
Pleading for reassurance that the perceived situation is not true.
And I've waited a lifetime
Expressing the passage of a significant amount of time.
For you to give me an answer
Waiting for a response or decision from the other person.
Oh my love
Addressing the subject with affectionate language.
You broke my heart
Expressing emotional pain caused by the listener.
And tore it in two
Describing the severity of the emotional damage.
For once, my love
Repetition for emphasis: Requesting a positive change in the relationship.
For once, my love
Repetition for emphasis: Reiterating the desire for positive change.
For once, my love
Repetition for emphasis: Reaffirming the longing for improvement.
A hard days work
Highlighting the effort expended at work and feeling unappreciated.
Just isn't enough for you
Suggesting that the speaker's efforts are insufficient for the listener.
We'll that alright
Acceptance of the situation and a decision to move forward.
I'll move on
Expressing readiness to move on from the relationship.
Now I'm done with the games
Rejecting the emotional games played by the listener.
That you're playing
Conveying frustration with manipulative behavior.
And I've waited a lifetime
Reiterating the theme of waiting for a significant period.
For you to give me an answer
Continuing to anticipate a response or resolution.
Oh my love
Returning to the affectionate address for the listener.
You broke my heart
Reiterating the emotional pain caused by the listener.
And tore it in two
Emphasizing the severity of the emotional damage.
For once, my love
Repetition for emphasis: Requesting a positive change in the relationship.
For once, my love
Repetition for emphasis: Reiterating the desire for positive change.
For once, my love
Repetition for emphasis: Reaffirming the longing for improvement.
