Stay Away Lyrics

i saw the way you looked that day
i saw the way you looked at me
i know the things you want from me
i know the things you take from me
my love my life my words my heart
my innocence was torn apart
i'll never trust a word you say
you're just a bad memory
stay away
i feel the rain as it comes down
i feel like i am being drowned
you always sit and watch me die
a fuckin million times
i want to know
does anything touch you any more
or are you rotten inside
i wish that you would just die
do you think that this is for you
do you think that i'd do anything for you
do you think that i adore you
do you think that this is for you
i still breathe i'm still alive
there's things that you can't take inside
my love my life my words my heart
are things that you can't take apart
i could do this a million times
i'm one of the bravest girls alive
i feel inside
i feel that you have already died

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

What a kick ass song! She sounds so bitter yet so hurt. The way she begs "stay..." then wails "AWAY," just gets me every time!

I love this song, I can totally relate. Pretty straight forward but great lyrics. I love H2B.
