Stay Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sorry for leaving
I don’t need you now, but I’ll need you next weekend
Gone down your feelings
My love got you fucked up, I know it’s your weakness

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I say I wanna hold you close then push away
California by the coast for a little space
When I start to feel alone you come back again (Back again)
I hate myself for what I’ve done

[Chorus]
Let’s just stand still
Alone in this place
With all the stupid mistakes
Don’t ever believe me
I told you before that I changed
Still you runnin’ up back, back to me
Just stay one more night, gon’ be alright
We can just talk all night, fuck all night, hold on tight
Baby just stand still
I promise, I promise again
That you’re runnin’ back, runnin’ back to mе

[Verse 2]
You make it easy
I wish you’d just screw with mе, tell me you hate me
I really deserve it
And one day you’ll see that I’ve never been worth it
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I say I wanna hold you close then push away
California by the coast for a little space (A little space)
When I start to feel alone you come back again (Back again)
I apologise for what I’ve done

[Chorus]
Let’s just stand still
Alone in this place
With all the stupid mistakes
Don’t ever believe me
I told you before that I changed
Still you runnin’ up back, back to me
Just stay one more night, gon’ be alright
We can just talk all night, fuck all night, hold on tight
Baby just stand still
I promise, I promise again
That you’re runnin’ back, runnin’ back to me
One more night, gon’ be alright
We can just talk all night, fuck all night, hold on tight
Baby just stand still
I promise, I promise again
That you’re runnin’ back, runnin’ back to me

[Outro]
I promise, I promise again
That you’re runnin’ back, runnin’ back to me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
