Lyric discussion by Casey9420 

Cover art for Stay lyrics by Shakespear's Sister

I think it is a song about deep obsessive love and wanting her man to choose a life with her rather then suicide. Begging him not to do anything without her. It's written and sung powerfully from two prospectives of just pure emotional desperation and jealous anger, A wanting for him to show her that same obsessive love and commitment, but his depression is stopping him from ever doing so.
