Carol Banawa – Stay lyrics
I want you to stay
Never go away from me
Stay forever
But now, now that you're gone
All I can do is pray for you
To be here beside me again

*Why did you have to leave me
When you said that love will conquer all
Why did you have to leave me
When you said that dreaming
Was as good as reality
And now I must move on
Trying to forget all the memories
Of you near me
But I can't let go of your love
That has taught me to hold on
I want you to stay never go away from me
Stay forever
But now, now that you're gone
All I can do is pray for you
To be here beside me again
(Repeat *)
And now I must move one
Trying to forget all the memories
Of you near me
But I can't let go of your love
That has taught me to hold on
(Repeat *twice)
Coda:
I want you to stay never go away from me
Stay forever
I want to stay but I have to go my way
Oohhhmmm

    It shows someone longing for his/her special someone to stay. Wanting that someone to stay beside him. But that someone has to leave. Maybe they encounter problems & hardship. She was crying because the guy said that they would conquer everything, they will face it together. Maybe the guy choose to make the girl's life good, but it's hard for the girl to let him go because it's the guy who thought him how to hold on. How to be strong, for me it's really hard because letting go someone yo love for so long is a very hard decision. Especially if that guy means a lot to you! As a girl we value so much someone, especially if that someone made a big part to us. Gave us a lot of happiness, like me I never want to let go of him. My parents don't like him but I don't care. We fight for our love, because it's we who really know we are. We don't care about their judgement. And yes I know, someday we can prove it to them. To all of them who judge us, without knowing who we really are. Someday! I know he will stay with me <3.

    It is actually dedicated to the singer's brother who tragically passed away due to carbon monoxide poisoning. The singer's dad and brother stayed inside the car at a parking lot and took a nap while the motor and air conditioning was on. Her brother died while her dad suffered brain damage. They were really a tight knit family, so the loss of her brother and the condition of her dad was really heartbreaking.

    When you've learned to love someone and he becomes part of your life and suddenly he passed away due to health condition nobody knows about not even his family or has he told me. It flashes back to that moment he said he won't go away and will always be with me. It keeps me asking why it happened, why he left. I guess what he really meant was though he may no longer be with me physically but spiritually he will always be. It really hurts missing someone you know not coming back.

    I can relate on this song. It makes me cry. Me and my ex-boyfriend, we've been together since high school then after our graduation in college we broke up. And now I'm trying to move on, I have a new boyfriend but he can't still get out of my head. I know that we still have a feeling to each other, but our love is forbidden. I told him that I'm willing to give up everything, even I have a good life now, just to be with him again. But I lose hope because I'm the only one fighting=(. I'm still hoping that one day he will realize my worth, and he will come back to me. I will always love him. My 6 years boyfriend, my first love. A man of my dreams=(

    It may be about love that has ended because one has a change of heart, or change of plans that they can't be together anymore. But also, it may be about love that one had to go his/her own path without the other one. Not that they don't love each other anymore, nor one had a change of heart or plans, but because they've been separated by things we can't control... like sickness, accidents, natural phenomena that leads to it.

    Stay is when you wanted something or someone to be physically present in your presence, not just his/her memory but the entire existence of someone, especially when that person is very dear to you. And the force that fuels your intention of wanting that someone to stay is love. Love that is not just up to the level of a girlfriend-boyfriend relationship but of something deeper, which if someone goes his/her leaving will leave you pain and longing for him/her that you wanted very much to stay.

    I really relate to this song,. I have my classmate,. He's my close friend,. At school,. Then one day I just woke up,. That I like him,. He is so sweet,. He care's about me,. He treat me well,. The problem he has g-friend,. And we are same school,. Then one day he and he's g-friend broke-up because of me,. He told me he has no feeling to he's g-f anymore,. He told me that he like me,. Not being he's friend,. But more than a friend,. But last few day's I just heard that they continue,. There relationship,. And he forget me,. And now,. We still see each other,. But we are not talking,. I'm so angry with him,. But I still love him,. Even though he hurt me., I promise to my self,. Someday if he need a shoulder to lean on,. I'm always here for him,.
    Even though I don't have any feelings for him,. Someday.
