Stay
Milky Chance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

After all that's been really tough for us
Trying to make it for you
Knowing that it could be the last thing I've done for you
It's the end, as always confused
Spend my time trying to read our past
Remembering that feeling

Don't fool around, run away
'Cause there is someone who wants you to stay
Don't fool around, run away
'Cause there is someone who wants you
Wants you to stay-eh-eh-yeah-eh-eh
Wants you to stay-eh-eh-yeah-eh-eh
Wants you to stay-eh-eh-yeah-eh-eh
Wants you to stay
Wants you to stay

After overcoming hour after hour
Ignoring all your demons
You'll collapse undercover of your darkness
Strangling with feelings
Yes it is yes, but always confusing
Be the one that you always wanted to be
Can you really see then?

Don't fool around, run away
'Cause there is someone who wants you to stay
Don't fool around, run away
'Cause there is someone who wants you
Wants you to stay-eh-eh-yeah-eh-eh
Wants you to stay-eh-eh-yeah-eh-eh
Wants you to stay-eh-eh-yeah-eh-eh
Wants you to stay
Wants you to stay

Don't fool around, run away
'Cause there is someone who wants you to stay




And don't fool around, run away
'Cause there is someone who wants you

Such a powerful song

Brick Brick

I have to let this out of my system.
This song reminds me of my ex. I remember discovering this band days before we started dating and telling him about it. He loved their music. I wonder if he still does. Fast forward to three months, he cheated on me and broke up with me over a phone call. I still miss him.

I've never related to anyone on youtube before. You'll be okay
