Stay Away
Rosendale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know how we pretend we're who we aren't
There's something on my mind tonight
But now that I've fallen too deep to control it
When you put your hands on me I can't stop it
It's you that I'm calling for now I just can't help myself
Lonely is the price I pay
For all these mistakes I've made
It's no more than I can take
I want you to stay away
I'm begging you to stay away from me
I want you to stay away
I'm begging you, begging you
Begging you to stay away
If I could turn back the time
If I could just erase the pain I hide
There's nothing I would keep from you
But now that I've fallen too deep to control it
When you put your hands on me I can't stop it
It's you that I'm calling for now I just can't help myself
I want you to stay away
I'm begging you to stay away from me
I want you to stay away
I'm begging you, begging you
Begging you to stay away

Sit down and hear me talk
Listen to me, give me your attention and hear what I have to say
You know how we pretend we're who we aren't
We both know that we put on a facade and act like someone we're not
There's something on my mind tonight
There is something troubling me that I want to share with you
But now that I've fallen too deep to control it
I have gone too far and have lost control of my feelings
When you put your hands on me I can't stop it
Your touch has a great effect on me and I cannot resist it
It's you that I'm calling for now I just can't help myself
I cannot resist the urge to be with you and I am reaching out to you
Lonely is the price I pay
I am paying a heavy price for being alone and not being with the one I love
For all these mistakes I've made
The reason for my loneliness is the mistakes I have made in the past
Every single time I break
Whenever I feel weak and vulnerable
It's no more than I can take
I cannot handle the pain and heartbreak anymore
I want you to stay away
I am asking you to distance yourself from me for my own good
I'm begging you to stay away from me
I am pleading with you to leave me alone
If I could turn back the time
If only I could go back in time and change things
If I could just erase the pain I hide
If I could only get rid of the pain that I keep hidden inside
There's nothing I would keep from you
I would be completely honest with you and not hide anything
But now that I've fallen too deep to control it
I cannot change how I feel and I am in too deep to turn back
When you put your hands on me I can't stop it
Your touch still has a powerful effect on me and I cannot resist it
It's you that I'm calling for now I just can't help myself
I am still drawn to you and cannot control my feelings
I want you to stay away
I am asking you to keep your distance from me
I'm begging you, begging you
I am pleading with you, desperately asking you
Begging you to stay away
I am begging you to leave me alone for my own good
