Why Can't You Stay - Lyric Video (not brawlhalla...)

I have a music channel now! ‪@StephanafroMusic‬
Guitar & Arrangement: Dr. Gud Times | / drgudtimess
Vocals & Lyrics: Stephanafro
Spotify Link: open.spotify.c...
This is the song that was at the end of my Cassidy rant. I made the fatal mistake of using it to avoid copyright claims and you guys wouldn't stop bugging me about it so Dr. Gud Times and I decided to share it. It's also on Spotify... also by request. That's certainly not something I ever thought I'd say.
Idk why this feels so much more embarrassing to post than usual...

Lyrics
---
[VERSE 1]
You're running with that crowd of yours, the same one that knocked you down, why can't you stay?
Even with those bruises on your heart, you're still a work of art,
why can't you stay?
I've been tumblin' through these thoughts o' mine, climbing up on trees, but now I can't climb down
I'm feeling lost, I can't complain, at least I still can feel the same
And I never wanna be the one to to tell you how to feel
it's a little complicated when not everything is real
why can't you stay?
[CHORUS]
You've got so much more to give and not conceal
you're not a copy, not an image, you're just real
It's written on your face,
you don't wanna leave this place,
Why can't you stay?
And they're ripping you apart in unison
Cause you're a painting, not a jigsaw to fit in
you tell me that it's complicated
but you're everything they hate
Why can't you stay?
[Break]
Stay~
Stay~
Why can't you stay?
[Verse 2]
I know you're telling me you're fine, that I should just climb down and stop, I'll stay right here
Cause up above the trees, I gaze through the haze that made us lose our ways, I'll stay right here
But when the world around you's anythin' but genuine it's hard to feel at home,
that's why I'm asking you to stay, to prove to you you're not alone
I may overstep but let me set the pieces into place,
Every day and all my life I've seen good people go to waste
I'll stay right here
[CHORUS]
You've got so much more to give and not conceal
you're not a copy, not an image, you're just real
It's written on your face,
you don't wanna leave this place,
Why can't you stay?
And they're ripping you apart in unison
Cause you're a painting, not a jigsaw to fit in
you tell me that it's complicated
but you're everything they hate
Why can't you stay?
[Bridge]
Woaah, it's kinda sad that this world's so paper thin
and I'm aware that I don't know everything
but I know that you ain't 'one of them'
Every time I reach across the air
the branch below me snaps and leaves me hanging there
so I know I may be wrong
and I should probably stop the song
but you don't have to go along
because bygones will be bygones
Why can't you stay?
[CHORUS]
You've got so much more to give and not conceal
you're not a copy, not an image, you're just real
It's written on your face,
you don't wanna leave this place,
Why can't you stay?
And they're ripping you apart in unison
Cause you're a painting, not a jigsaw to fit in
you tell me that it's complicated
but you're everything they hate
Why can't you stay?

Agreed

[@amtays]

Yellow man blew my mind.

[@JOSE-zp5hn]

it's more embarrasing than usual because it's showing something new, a part of you that you aren't sure people is going to like, that step is difficult, but I'm glad you took it because now I can here this master piece in Spotify all day :) love your videos Steph

[@Astro-dk3om]

This is amazing!! I loved every second of it. The lyrics and tone of the voice were especially lovely. Great job!! - Astronomermilk

[@MasterOfDonkeys]

really, really good don't feel ashamed of spreading your incredible talent :)

[@meltwire]

yep yep yep yes uh huh yep yes yeah mhm yep yep

[@Bibi-bk9ry]

This music, the tones of your voice, very smooth. The vocals here are warm and welcoming, a good boost in morale when hearing the crisp and soft vocals. the melody is a classic and simple acoustic guitar, it gives it a real home welcome feeling. The lyrics show true emotion that doesn't feel like random words put together, but it puts a story in our heads that we imagine this song dedicated to a special someone. Good job, Stephanafro. Good Job Dr. Gud Times. P.S: thanks for this, I had a project due in a few hours and this fills me with energy to go through with it

[@sekkixd]

came back to this after almost 2 years. this deserves so much more exposure.

[@Lord_Xonaz]

I really really like this song. Didnt even know you had a hand in making it. Was listening to random songs on my ytmusic app. I feel to much from this song but im glade it makes me feel.

[@gatarrrrk5500]

I'm not to much into this genre but its nice to hear your singing anyways.

[@accusationner]

honestly, it's sad that this video isn't getting much love as it supposed to in my opinion, i really love it!

[@TomatoBricked]

2 years later and this is still one of the most beautiful songs I know. I listen to it almost every day, it's so, so pretty.

[@bokuwadoctor]

I' have never pressed on a Stephanafro video so fast in my entire life, Just to see (Not Brawlhalla), OOOoooooooh yAAAaaaaaaah

[@allister4188]

This is actually amazing, we need more!

[@WDFQofficial]

It's kinda sad to see how this video gets so much less views than his other vids. All of these videos have heaps of effort put into them and I hope everyone can enjoy the effort put in the video instead of the topic on it. p.s. I know how hard it is to master a song/piece since I'm also a musician. Looking forward to your future works!

[@KarmaBane]

I am so jealous how good Stephs voice is and how good he is at everything he is the coolest 😁

[@Yūrei56]

I feel the fact that u can see less than 10 dislikes and so many people are negative and will nitpick and even through that u make such an amazing video

[@Zylosted]
