Stay With Me
Sam Smith - Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I still need love cause I'm just a man
These nights never seem to go to plan
I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?
Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
Why am I so emotional?
No it's not a good look, gain some self control
And deep down I know this never works
But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt
Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me
Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me
Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me
The lyrics of "Stay With Me" by Sam Smith featuring Mary J. Blige, talks about a man who is not good at one-night stands but still desires love because he is just like any other human being. He is struggling with his emotions and seeking comfort in someone's presence. These nights do not go according to his plans, and he does not want the person to leave until they hold his hand. The chorus of the song is an appeal to the person he desires to stay with him, as they are all he needs, even if it is not love.
The artist is expressing their vulnerability in this song, admitting that they are not good at casual relationships, and they yearn for deep, emotional connections. The reference to the person being all they need, despite it not being love, might indicate that he is willing to settle for something less than love to escape the pain of loneliness. When he talks about how emotional he is and how it is not a good look, he may be implying that he is insecure or feels inadequate. Nevertheless, he wants the person to lay with him so that he can find solace in their presence. The song's theme could be about temporary comforts that people cling to when they are hurting, despite knowing that they would not last.
