a duet with my former self Lyrics Meanings
by Harper Lauren

Please don't go away
Because I need you
To stay
Please don't go away
Because I want you
To stay
He took one look
At his sons' fragile heart
As he stepped into the night
Never been the type
To walk out
But this just didn't feel right
Turns the keys
And the engine lights a blinking
"Who thought leaving
Would take this much thinking"
Pulls away out the drive
Sees the kid, feels the child inside
As they say
Please don't go away
Because I need you
To stay
Please don't go away
Because I want you
To stay
As he drives past the first road sign
He thinks of everything he left behind
The only family he ever had
Cause his mum was never there
He got no love from his dad
He sees a kid just sitting there
All alone in the abyss
Pulls over just a little bit
Cause he didn't want to miss the things he missed
The child looked up
And with those tearful eyes
Astute in their gaze
He razed a hand to cup his father's face
And said "Thank you do didn't leave"
I'll never go away
If that's what you want me to say
Please know that I'll always stay
No, I'll never I'll never go away
Because you need me
You need me to stay
Because you want me
You want me to stay
Just know I'll never
I'll never go away
Because you need me
You need me to stay
You'll never, never go away
Cause I need you I need you to stay

Please don't go away
Because I need you
To stay
Please don't go away
Because I want you
To stay
He took one look
At his sons' fragile heart
As he stepped into the night
Never been the type
To walk out
But this just didn't feel right
Turns the keys
And the engine lights a blinking
"Who thought leaving
Would take this much thinking"
Pulls away out the drive
Sees the kid, feels the child inside
As they say
Please don't go away
Because I need you
To stay
Please don't go away
Because I want you
To stay
As he drives past the first road sign
He thinks of everything he left behind
The only family he ever had
Cause his mum was never there
He got no love from his dad
He sees a kid just sitting there
All alone in the abyss
Pulls over just a little bit
Cause he didn't want to miss the things he missed
The child looked up
And with those tearful eyes
Astute in their gaze
He razed a hand to cup his father's face
And said "Thank you do didn't leave"
I'll never go away
If that's what you want me to say
Please know that I'll always stay
No, I'll never I'll never go away
Because you need me
You need me to stay
Because you want me
You want me to stay
Just know I'll never
I'll never go away
Because you need me
You need me to stay
You'll never, never go away
Cause I need you I need you to stay
