ISTAY Lyrics by Moontower

ISTAY - Single

2024

[Verse 1]
I'm starting to see it
A face on the ceiling
It looks like a feeling that I almost felt before
It's forming your features
I smile ‘til my cheeks hurt
If loving is leaving
Guess I needed you to go back over
The day we both got older
I couldn't hold ya

[Chorus]
(I still think about you)
Like a knife in my back
I don't really feel so bad
(I think you need me)
Like a hole in the head
I promise that it won't last
(I still think about you)
Like a knife in my back
And I don't feel so bad
(I still think about you)
No, I don't feel so bad
(I still think about you)
I promise that it won't last

[Post-Chorus]
(I still think about you)
(I still, I still)

[Verse 2]
Even if you wanted to see me
I wouldn't let you crawl back to me on your hands and your knees and
I don't want you tell me you mean it
‘Cause I'd tell you to go back over
The day we both got older
I couldn't hold ya

[Chorus]
(I still think about you)
Like a knife in my back
I don't really feel so bad
(I think you need me)
Like a hole in the head
I promise that it won't last
(I still think about you)
Like a knife in my back
And I don't feel so bad
(I still think about you)
No, I don't feel so bad
(I still think about you)
I promise that it won't last

[Bridge]
Jumping my bones
The minute we're home
But I'm distracted
(Promise that it won't last)
Keeping you up
‘Cause I always wanna talk
Pissing you off
(Promise that it won't last)
Watching you cry
Not a tear in my eye
Over and over
(Promise that it won't last)

[Chorus]
Like a knife in my back
I don't really feel so bad
(I still think about you)
Like a hole in the head
(I still think about you)
I promise that it won't last
(I still think about you)
Like a knife in my back
(I still think about you)
And I don't feel so bad
(I still think about you)
No, I don't feel so bad
(I still think about you)
No, I don't feel so bad
(I still think about you)
Keep the knife right in my back
(I still think about you)
I promise that it won't last
