[Verse 1]
I never understood a word they said
Kept running in the woods alone instead
Somewhere, somehow I guess I lost it all
I try to keep it up by standing tall

[Chorus]
Why don't you stay, stay, 'cause I could really use a friend
Stay, please stay, 'cause my heart really needs to mend
Somewhere, somehow I guess I lost it all
Stay, stay here with me

[Verse 2]
I'm tryna make it up for my mistakes
But everywhere I turn, some hearts will break
Something, someone will end up getting hurt again
No, there's no need to play pretend

[Chorus]
Why don't you stay, stay, 'cause I could really use a friend
Stay, please stay, 'cause my heart really needs to mend
Somewhere, somehow I guess I lost it all
Stay, stay here with me

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh (Hey)
[Bridge]
You used to say that I was great
But I made too many mistakes
Your heart will break because of me
Because of me
But I just want, yeah, I just want
Yeah, I just want, want you to stay

[Chorus]
Why don't you stay, oh, stay, 'cause I could really use a friend
Why don't you stay, please stay, 'cause my heart really needs to mend
Somewhere, somehow I guess I lost it all
Stay, stay here with me
Why don't you stay, oh, stay, 'cause I could really use a friend
Stay, please stay, 'cause my heart really needs to mend
Somewhere, somehow I guess I lost it all
Stay, stay here with me
