Let Me Stay

(Stavroula Mitsea)

This track explores shapeshifting your whole identity just to feel wanted. It’s about bending rules, changing masks, and becoming whatever someone else needs—until you don’t even recognize yourself anymore. It’s emotional, intense, and painfully relatable for anyone who’s ever chased approval like survival. A song for the people-pleasers who are tired of pretending but don’t know how to stop.

Intro: 
Let me in, let me in 
I’m who you want me to be 
Let me in, let me in 
I’m you and you’re me 
 
Verse 1: 
Here’s a joke, do you like me now? 
Let ‘em roll, I must somehow 
Favors, all for you to like me now 
Do you like me now? 
If I smile, do I belong now? 
Tell a story so you’ll keep me around 
I’ll tell a story so I don’t let you down 
Don’t let you down 
 
And here’s my heart, open for you to see 
I’m for real, I’ve got so much to give 
You can’t heal from a sickness you feed 
And I will, i will 
So you’ll stay with me 
Hold my hand, I’ll hold yours ‘till the end 
I’m afraid of heights but with you I’ll stand 
On the tallest mountain just to be your friend 
Only you I’ll defend 
And a hundred others If they’ll be my friends 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
Wonder what you see looking right at me 
When it comes to this 
I’m a control freak 
Wonder what I’ll be 
Without connection 
Don’t make me weak 
 
Chorus: 
I’ll be good, follow you 
Wicked too, break the rules 
I’ll be fun, just like you 
Forget the version of me that I knew 
I’ll be rain, wash away 
What you’re scared of, what you hate 
I’ll be sun, brighten up 
Your darkest days 
Just let me stay, just let me stay 
 
Verse 2: 
Who should I turn into now 
I’d stop but I don’t know how 
Oh, and the mirror reflects 
A million different people  
That I thought they’d like best 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
Wonder what you see looking right at me 
When it comes to this 
I’m a control freak 
Wonder what I’ll be 
Without connection 
Don’t make me weak
