Lyrics

Stay With Me ©2012



Every time we say goodbye I just can't look you in the eye.
Every time I think back to that awful day
when you looked at me and had to turn away.
I could hear it in your sighs. You could see I was telling lies.
But you couldn't see the torture in my soul
Where my heart was there is just a hole.
-------------------------------------

Chorus

Stay with me stay with me.
God knows I hope you'll stay with me.
We all make mistakes I just hope you'll see.
I need you to stay with me.
-------------------------------------

Every day I need you to say that you love me every single day.
I don't know how I have the nerve to think.
I can see it in your face we're on the brink.
I can feel it in your touch. Though you need me it's nowhere near as much.
But you just can't see the torture in my soul.
Where my heart was there is just a hole.
-------------------------------------

Chorus

Stay with me stay with me.
God knows I hope you'll stay with me.
We all make mistakes I just hope you'll see.
I need you to stay with me.
-------------------------------------

Repeat Chorus

END

I don't know where this was produced but if I could guess, I'd say Nashville, although there are great producers all over the world. This has a distinctively excellent vibe, from the intro to the end. Fantastic lyrics, believably sung. It's a slow dance song and could easily make it into a movie, in my humble opinion. Love the keys and fiddle at the end. Favorite rhyme: day/put on the brakes. Tortured soul- great choice of lyric! I wish you every success with this song!

Pretty melody. Nice recording. Instruments are well performed.

Nice sounding arrangement, both musically and vocals. I really liked how this song flowed. Being mostly a ballad style writer, I appreciate songs of similar styles. This is well produced song. I can see this having marketability to the right person if that is something that you are trying to do, or perfect for a movie/tv soundtrack. Nicely done.

The instrumentation yanks on your heart from the very beginning. The vocal melody has some incredible chord arrangements that lift the song from good to great. Vocalist has a great tone both low and mid range. The song is quite powerful and compelling.
