Stay Away Lyrics

[Chorus]
Do you remember what I said that first time we met?
Stay away, why couldn't you stay away?

I never needed anyone, but now that you are gone
Stay away, won't you just stay away?


[Outro]
Taking all my light and blocking out my vision
Bad little girl, years trapped in the prison
Why couldn't you stay away?
Taking all my light and blocking out my vision
Bad little girl, years trapped in the prison
Won't you just stay away?

About

Genius Annotation

“Stay Away” is the 4th track off of English recording artist Charli XCX’s second studio album, True Romance. It was produced by American Grammy-winning record producer, audio engineer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, Ariel Rechtshaid. “Stay Away” was first released on 15 May 2011, but the full album “True Romance” was not available until 12 April 2013.

In this song, Charli is trapped in a relationship where she is unhappy, and looking back into the past before she became committed to her lover, she can clearly recall telling him to keep his distance from her, because she already saw the end before the beginning. Towards the end of the song, the tone begins to change, and instead of feeling remorse for having allowed her man’s cold love to enter her life, she licked up the blood for putting herself in the situation in the first place, placing the guilt upon herself.
