Stay Down

Stay Down - Katy B

There's a bitterness in the air

When did you lose all your care

I don't wanna hear you speak no more

'Cause every word leaves my heart red raw

Another chance to tell me that you're right

I try and bury away all your spite

You keep on saying that you want to stay

But something's telling me you're afraid of being lonely

Faced with all your issues

With no one to pick up the pieces

To tell you everything's alright

And have you thrown back in my face

You wanna stay down so you won't fall

Lying on the ground

So nothing at all can make you weak

I will stay in the dark for you to take it out on me

Yeah

Thinking why do you want me around

You get defensive and just shot me down

Maybe you just need a hand to hold

I'd touch you but you're freezing cold

Why don't you let yourself be happy here

Make that effort come on be sincere

'Cause you don't mean all of the things you say

Why do you let yourself get in the way

Your freedom

Emancipate yourself from this whole world you got yourself into

This time you've gone way too far

Trying to hurt me 'cause you can

You wanna stay down so you won't fall

Lying on the ground

So nothing at all can make you weak

I will stay in the dark for you to take it out on me

Yeah

Walking further into the darkness

(Can you hear me calling you )

You say you just don't know how hard it is

(To walk in your shoes)

Oh but don't you want to get better

Get out of this big black hole

The one you dug yourself into

And devoured all of your soul

You want to stay down so you won't fall

Lying on the ground

So nothing at all can make you weak

I will stay in the dark for you to take it out on me
