Stay
Florida Georgia Line Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'd sell my soul just to see your face
And I'd break my bones just to heal your pain
In these times I need a saving grace
But time is running out and I'm starting to lose my faith

But if I told you I loved you, would it make you want to stay?
I'm sorry for the way I hurt you and making you walk away
(I should have took the time to tell you)
And if I wrote you a love song and sang it to you every day
Would it ever be enough to make you wanna come back home and stay?
(I can't go another day without you)
Would it make you, make you, wanna stay?
(Girl you gotta know I love you)

My heart's on my sleeve, but it's turning black
(I guess I know what it feels like it to be alone)
Without your touch I'm not gonna last
(I know you know that I need ya just to carry on)
It feels like my walls are caving in
(You'd always hold me before I left you hanging on)
And I'll do anything to have you here again

But if I told you I loved you, would it make you want to stay?
I'm sorry for the way I hurt you and making you walk away
(I should have took the time to tell you)
And if I wrote you a love song and sang it to you every day
Would it ever be enough to make you wanna come back home and stay?
(I can't go another day without you)

Yeah, the days are cold, the nights are long
And I can't stand to be alone
Please know this is not your fault

And all I want

Is to tell you I love you and make you wanna stay
There's gotta be a way, 'cause going on without you is killing me everyday

And if I wrote you a love song and sang it to you every day
Would it ever be enough to make you wanna come back home and stay?
(I can't go another day without you)
Would it make you, make you, wanna stay?
(Girl you gotta know I love you)
Would it make you, make you, wanna stay?
(I can't go another day without you)





Would it make you, make you, wanna stay?

I’d sell my soul just to see your face
And I’d break my bones just to heal your pain
And in these times I need a saving grace
But time is running out
And I’m starting to lose my faith

But if I told you I loved you, would it make you wanna stay?
I’m sorry for the way I hurt you and making you walk away
And if I wrote you a love song and sang it to you everyday, would it ever be enough to make you wanna come back home and stay?

Would it make you, make you wanna stay?

My hearts on my sleeve but it’s turning black
Without your touch I’m not gonna last
It feels like my walls are caving in
But I’ll do anything to have you here again

But if I told you I loved you would it make you wanna stay?
I’m sorry for the way I hurt you and making you walk away
And if I wrote you a love song and sang it to you everyday, would it ever be enough to make you wanna come back home and stay

The days are cold, the nights are long
And I can’t stand to be alone
Please know this is not your fault
And all I want

Is to tell you I love you and make you wanna stay
There’s gotta be a way cause going on without you is killing me everyday
And if I wrote you a love song and sang it to you everyday, would it ever be enough to make you wanna come back home and stay?

Would it make you, make you wanna stay
Would it make you, make you wanna stay
Would it make you, make you wanna stay
