Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is there room for me in your company
Cause my heart aches
To see yours break
Can we both pick up the pieces
Lets just try to stay together
Find a way to make it better
Lets just try to work it out
We've come too far to give up now
Baby dont let me down.
Oh love hear me now
Could you put a good word in somehow
Cause i have tried from time to time
Let her find some faith in me
Lets just try to stay together
Find a way to make it better
Maybe, you and me baby
Lets just try to work it out
We've come too far to give up now
Baby dont let me down.
Cause i cant lie that im not scared
Im turning into someone else
Im twisting up inside
Dont tell me please, dont tell me now, dont tell me its over
Lets just try to stay together
Find a way to make it better
Maybe you and me baby
Lets just try to work it out
We've come too far to give up now
Baby dont you let me down.
Dont tell me please, dont tell me now, dont tell me its over
Lets just try to stay together
Find a way to make it better.
Lets just try to stay together
Find a way to make it better.
Lets just try to stay together
Find a way to make it better.
Lets just try to stay together
Find a way to make it better.
The lyrics of Take That's song Stay Together convey a plea to a lover to stay together and work through their difficulties. The singer is asking if there is room for them in their lover's life, as they don't want to see their lover's heart break. They urge their lover to believe in them, to find faith in them, and to help them repair what is broken between them. They want to stay together and not give up, especially since they have come too far to let their love die.
The chorus repeats the plea to stay together and try to make it work. The singer knows that they are changing and turning into someone else, but they don't want their lover to abandon them. They don't want to hear that it's over yet, and they want to keep working on their relationship. The repetition of "let's just try to stay together, find a way to make it better" emphasizes the singer's determination to make things work.
