The Witch is frustrated, hurt and angry with Rapunzel for her affair with the prince, leading to her desperate attempt to guilt her daughter into staying with her forever, whilst also punishing her.
This song also establishes the idea that the Witch is the same character as Frau/Mother Gothel; rest...
Stay With Me Lyrics
[WITCH]
What did I clearly say?
Children should listen
[RAPUNZEL, spoken]
No, no, please!
[WITCH]
What were you not to do?
Children must see—
[RAPUNZEL, spoken]
No!
[WITCH]
And learn
Why could you not obey?
Children should listen
What have I been to you?
What would you have me be
Handsome like a prince?
Ah, but I am old
I am ugly
I embarrass you
[RAPUNZEL, spoken]
No!
[WITCH]
You are ashamed of me
[RAPUNZEL, spoken]
No!
[WITCH]
You are ashamed
You don't understand
[RAPUNZEL, spoken]
It was lonely atop that tower.
[WITCH, spoken]
I was not company enough?
[RAPUNZEL, spoken]
I am no longer a child. I wish to see the world.
[WITCH]
Don't you know what's out there in the world?
Someone has to shield you from the world
Stay with me
Princes wait there in the world, it's true
Princes, yes, but wolves and humans, too
Stay at home
I am home
Who out there could love you more than I?
What out there that I cannot supply?
Stay with me
Stay with me
The world is dark and wild
Stay a child while you can be a child
With me
