Stay Lyrics

Backward Town

All The Things I Wasn't

What Was Going Through My Head

Peace of Mind

So Many Times

Don't know who's right 
                    I don't know who's lying 
            But if you stay, we'll work it out alone 
                       I know what I want 
                     That's what I'm saying 
            I want you here with me, so don't go home 
                Would you stay with me after dawn 
                  If I say to you I was wrong? 
                 I can stay with you for so long 
               Would you stay with me after dawn? 
 
                      I don't know at night 
                        Is this a trial? 
           But I know where you should be all the time 
               I know what I said, I wasn't lying 
             But if you do, you won't be in my life 
                Will you stay with me after dawn 
                  If I say to you I was wrong? 
                 I can stay with you for so long 
                Will you stay with me after dawn? 
 
               You can say we didn't have a fight 
             And we can go on all through the night 
                      Why must I stay away? 
            And in the morning everything's the same 
                And we can go on for another day 
                  Why must I stay away so long? 
                      Why must I stay away? 
 
                       What they had said 
                      Don't listen to them 
           Because if you do, you won't be in my life 
                    I don't know who's right 
                    I don't know who's lying 
           Just stay with me and everything's alright 
                Would you stay with me after dawn 
                  If I say to you I was wrong? 
                 I can stay with you for so long 
                Will you stay with me after dawn?

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.
