This song is from the opposite perspective of the person in “Pieces” – this song is from the perspective of the one asking their partner to stay, whereas “Pieces” was about someone moving away.
[Verse 1]
Start extremes, so it seems
I left it clean, found a place to hide
I love the place, I took your face
Forgot to face it by myself, I cried
I want you to know
[Verse 2]
I left you there, I hid upstairs
I had to kid because you're the one I see
I looked around, I felt the ground
It's soul not found, it's hard enough for me
I want you to know
[Bridge]
Hey, did I let it go?
Stay with me, tell me if it shows
I want you to know
[Verse 3]
I brought you there, I thought you cared
Not to step but you just couldn't see
It's always you, it's always me
It's always talking you can set it free
I want you to know
[Verse 4]
Hey, you're the one who knows
Stay with me, I can't let it go
Hey, you put it in my head
Stay asleep, think on what you said
I want you to know
