[Verse 1]
You came home late again
With a hurt in your eyes
I know there’s someone there
You don’t even have to lie
You say you still love me
But your heart’s gone walking away
And I can’t stop shaking
When you say you need space
[Pre-Chorus]
We built this house with our hands
From the ground up, brick by brick
Don’t turn out the porch light
Don’t make this the part that sticks
If you’re already halfway gone
Then look at me once, please
I know you’re trying not to break me
But baby, you’re breaking me
[Chorus]
Stay with me, stay with me
Don’t say goodbye tonight (stay with me)
Stay with me, stay with me
We were best friends, right?
You love her now, I know
But don’t leave me in the fire
Stay with me, stay with me
Don’t make me lose you twice
[Verse 2]
We laughed in the grocery line
Fought over where to eat
You knew my whole past by heart
You still know how I sleep
Now you fold your jacket slow
Like you’re packing up your name
And I hate that I can see
How hard you’re trying to change
[Pre-Chorus]
If you can’t stay for love
Then stay because you care
For all those years beside me
For every secret we shared
I’m not asking you to fake it
I’m asking you to be kind
If you’re gonna walk out the door
Then don’t leave me behind
[Chorus]
Stay with me, stay with me
Don’t say goodbye tonight (stay with me)
Stay with me, stay with me
We were best friends, right?
You love her now, I know
But don’t leave me in the fire
Stay with me, stay with me
Don’t make me lose you twice
[Bridge]
If you have to let me go
Then let me go slow
Don’t take our whole life
And throw it in one blow
Look at me like I’m human
Not a wound you can’t remove
I still love you that much
That’s why this hurts like it does
[Chorus]
Stay with me, stay with me
Don’t say goodbye tonight (stay with me)
Stay with me, stay with me
We were best friends, right?
You love her now, I know
But don’t leave me in the fire
Stay with me, stay with me
Don’t make me lose you twice
