[Verse 1]
Lately I've been thinking
You've seen the worst and you've seen it in me
I gave you every reason
Every reason to get up and leave
[Pre-Chorus]
I know that there's times
That you get so tired
And you know I want you to stay
[Chorus]
But don't stay for me
Don't stay for me
If you got to leave
Do what you need
But don't stay for me
Don't stay for me
(Don't stay for me)
[Verse 2]
Baby, I've been thinking
That you've been hurt and it's because of me
(Oh woah, oh woah)
Baby, my ship is sinking
So don't go overboard trying to save me
[Pre-Chorus]
I know that there's times
That you get so tired
And you know I want you to stay
[Chorus]
But don't stay for me
Don't stay for me
If you got to leave
Do what you need
But don't stay for me
Don't stay for me
Don't stay for me
Don't stay for me
[Bridge]
Oh woah, oh woah
Oh woah, oh woah
Oh woah, oh woah (don't stay for me)
Oh woah, oh woah (don't stay for me)
Oh woah, oh woah
[Chorus]
Don't stay for me (don't you stay, baby)
Don't stay for me
If you got to leave (if you got to leave)
Do what you need (do what you need)
Don't stay for me (don't stay, yeah)
Don't stay for me (don't you stay)
Don't stay for me
Don't stay for me (don't you stay)
Don't stay for me
[Outro]
Don't stay for me

When someone you love is in pain, in some cases the only way to help them is to refuse to help them. Understanding that concept and actually doing it are two very separate things.
Don’t Stay is a song about letting go. And all the doubt, ange...
