[Verse 1] Keys on the table Coat by the door Coffee's gone cold Like we were before You say you're "fine" But your eyes look past me Like you already walked out You already left the room
[Chorus] Stay with me (stay with me) Please don't leave (please don't leave) Say you need me Need me 'Cause I can't breathe Can't breathe Stay with me (stay with me) Don't let go (don't let go) If you leave You take my future Every plan I used to know Stay with me (stay with me) Please don't leave (please don't leave) Say you need me Need me 'Cause I can't breathe Can't breathe
[Verse 2] Fighting in circles Same three words You pack your silence Between each hurt Your hand on the handle Mine on your sleeve If you walk out that hallway What part of me can leave?
[Bridge] What if we pause? What if we learn To hold our anger Till it stops burning? What if you turn Back to my arms Just one more time Just one more time (oh)
[Chorus] Stay with me (stay with me) Please don't leave (please don't leave) Say you need me Need me 'Cause I can't breathe Can't breathe Stay with me (stay with me) Don't let go (don't let go) If you leave I lose the language Of the only love I've known Stay with me (stay with me) Please don't leave (please don't leave) Say you need me Need me 'Cause I can't breathe Can't breathe
Stile di musica
Moody pop ballad with haunting synth pads, distant piano plucks, and tight, intimate male vocals. Beat pulses gently with deep kick and soft snaps; verses stay close and breathy, then chorus widens into echoing harmonies and a subtle sub swell. Reverb blooms on the hook line for a desperate, floating feel, then everything drops to almost acapella on the final plea.
