Stay
No Motiv Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another day you're not with me
We can always be together in our dreams
So I'll await for you tomorrow
And think of all the good times
And the places we will go
But I am laughing all the while
Because I can see you smile
At all those times we've had alone
So I'll refuse to feel the pain I feel within
And tell you once again
Please don't go
Because I don't want to say
Goodbye another night
So let's just work it out
You're my life
So why not stay with me for just another night
Another night has passed again
And without you in my life there's an emptiness within
While others grow tired of each other through the years
I meet you for the first time every day I see you here
But I'm still laughing all the while
Because I can see you smile
At all those times we've had alone
So I'll refuse to feel the I feel within
And I'll tell you once again
As this song comes to an end
Please don't go
Because I don't want to say
Goodbye another night
So let's just work it out
You're my life




So why not stay with me
For just another night
