“In “Stay,” Abrams writes to an ex about wishing she could have another chance to go back to the way things were, even if only for one night. Throughout the rest of the song, she perfectly romanticizes the pain of losing someone you love, from the inability to look them in the eye when things are fa...
[Verse 1]
You told me something when I left but I don't remember
Maybe 'cause all I could do then was stare at the floor
I held myself 'cause you wouldn't, all wrapped in my sweatshirt
Wonder if you even noticed that that one was yours
[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe I should've but I never told you, "I'm sorry"
Know that I tried but my words always got in the way
[Chorus]
Could you hold me without any talking?
We could try to go back where we started
I don't even have to stay
I don't even have to stay but
If I woke up with you in the morning
I'd forget all the ways that we're broken
I don't care if you've changed
I don't even have to stay, huh
[Verse 2]
I don't remember the last time I heard from your sister
Didn't expect to but I sorta thought that I would
Wish I could tell you by now that I felt more indifferent
Catch myself thinking about you more than I should
[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe I should've but I never told you, "I miss you"
I almost said it but don't know if you feel the same
[Chorus]
Could you hold me without any talking?
We could try to go back where we started
I don't even have to stay
I don't even have to stay but
If I woke up with you in the morning
I'd forget all the ways that we're broken
I don't care if you've changed
I don't even have to stay, huh
