Stay With Me Lyrics
Heeeey
But I still need love 'cause I'm just a man
oooooh
Don't loose who you are
In the blur of stars
seeing is deceiving
dreaming is believing, it's okay not to be okay.
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me
No it's not a good look, gain some self control
And deep down I know this never works
But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me
I think it's very explicit. He's in love with somebody, but unfortunelly, that person doesn't love him back. He's in pain but he rather have that person close to him, even if it's a lie, than be apart. God, I love this song.

I think this song isn't just about loving someone. It's about the actual want of a partner. As @adrianosa says, "He's in pain but he rather have that person close to him, even if it's a lie, than be apart." What I think he's also saying is that he just wants love. Even if it's fake, someone there to make him feel just a little less lonely.

Here's a story... Someone I knew, who killed himself, was pretty lonely. He felt like he was alone for a long time despite friends being with him and such. Later, come to find, that he would use online hookups intended for quick sex (also, like the song says, a one night stand) and would pay them for it too. Then, after investigation, he never did have sex with any of the people he payed to hook up with. Instead, as they said, he asked for them to just cuddle with him and watch a movie or such, then they would go.
Stories like that exist everywhere. People being so lonely and wanting love, but not actually wanting sex; Pure, innocent, true love. Sam Smith says "Oh, won't you stay with me? 'Cause you're all I need This ain't love it's clear to see But darling, stay with me" He knows it's not love and he knows she thinks the same, but he just wants someone there with him.
Only at the beginning does Sam Smith say anything that blatantly meant sex, which is a "one night stand." But he says it himself, he's not good at that. He doesn't care for the sex or for a quickie just to feel better.
This is a problem I've experienced and many others have too. Not wanting a lover for sex, but for the love itself. The person you can hold dearly in your life, and without having someone like that for so long, even if it's fake, anyone can fill the void at the lowest point. As I'm sure everyone knows, desperation can cause people to be irrational as long as it makes them feel better.
Just my addition and opinion
Beautiful song,before I interpret I'd just like to say that this is a wonderful song no matter the meaning. I think this song is about needing someone,and not really caring who that someone is. It's about being so fragile and broken that you feel like you'll fall apart and then someone offers you companionship. I think the woman or man was simply looking for a good screw, not knowing the agony inside him."Deep down I know this never works, but you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt."
I think this song is bittersweet and he's writing about the emotional connection that you get after being intimate with someone.
She's told him it was just a one night thing...maybe for her it was to just get over an Ex or whatever but after being with her, he realizes that he has feelings for her which are sadly not reciprocated.
I personally believe this song is about when you develop feelings for someone you are sleeping with ... You know they don't feel the same way as you do but you're willing to be okay with that because being with them helps you deal with the loneliness that you feel ... You know that nothing is ever going to happen between both of you.... But they ease you pain and that's all that matters to you
Here's my take on this song and I think some people may have been through the same situation. What started out as innocence between two people friendship or otherwise when one of them eventually fell in love with the other person. But the other person is mostly likely married from my take on "and deep down I know this will never work." But because he loved her so much that he is willing to settle for the few stolen moments he has with her.
This song is easily interpreted. Basically Sam loves a girl who doesn't love him back, but he wants her to 'stay with him' rather than leave him even tho he knows she doesn't really love him.

@kylie11514 @bradrobinson00 still could be singing about a girl ... lots of times artists portray themselves as a character (different to themselves) in a song

Love this song soo much ???? ❤ ????
This is personally what I think it's about just from listening to it a few times.
The guy in this song is just getting out of a relationship that has left him feeling heartbroken and empty. So he goes out and has a one night stand trying to forget his ex.
But he is in such a fragile state that he finds comfort in having that girl there, even though he knows there's not going to be anything out of the relationship.
All he wants is someone there to hold him.
It's about how he wants more in a relationship than just a one night stand.
loving someone and can not be together.
so the best thing he can do is stay with her.
