Oh-woah
Mmm
[Verse 1]
Hate that I'm always gonna have a side to me
That's still in awe when you're mad at me
You can't do it wrong in my eyes
I hate it that you gotta break somethin'
To realize we're at rock bottom
But kill me again 'cause the high's twice as high
Wish this bullshit would end
But we're back here again
[Chorus]
Yeah, I know we should break up
But I just can't stay done with you, you
When I take off my makeup
Go to bed, wanna wake up with you, you
We're best friends and enemies
We're good till you're dead to me, yeah
I told you, "Goodbye"
Like, hundred million times
I know I sound so dumb
But I just can't stay done with you
I just can't stay done with you
I hate it that I'm tryna call you up
When you're the thing that I'm runnin' from
The one-way street I can't get off (Oh, yeah)
I've been nothing less than cordial
But if we're really talkin' morals
Why'd you have to hit her up like that?
You should know it isn't normal
[Chorus]
Yeah, I know we should break up
But I just can't stay done with you, you
When I take off my makeup
Go to bed, wanna wake up with you, you
We're best friends and enemies
We're good till you're dead to me, yeah
I told you, "Goodbye"
Like, hundred million times
I know I sound so dumb
But I just can't stay done with you
I just can't stay done with you
I just can't stay done with you
I just can't stay done with you
About
“stay done” is track 6 off of McRae’s highly anticipated sophomore album THINK LATER and the lyrics talk about how McRae can continue to love someone even in the worst situations possible. It exposes her kind and sweet nature and vulnerability even in the darkest times of a relationship. McRae has said (via Apple Music) that the song talks about how she can still be in love with someone even when they’re yelling at her.
Overall, the song’s message is that it’s hard to leave someone you love so much and that love can be and is, in a way, bittersweet and hard to deal with and that is a hard concept to wrap your finger around, yet McRae’s sweet song perfectly captures it.

I have a hard time writing love songs. Sweeter songs are hard for me to write in the studio, but this is one of my sweetest songs in a fucked-up kind of way. It talks about how I can still be in love with you even when you’re yelling at me. I can still find the most beautiful parts of the situation even when it’s the worst possible situation. In the second verse it goes, ‘It’s a one-way street I can’t get off.’ That’s how I felt about the relationship. Visually, that was the best way to describe it, driving down a road going full speed, and there’s no way to turn and you can’t go backwards.
