Thought I could count on you, thought you were true
But your envy keeps rising, it’s killing you
We called it friendship, but what does it mean?
I thought it was trust, but you cut in between
Fake words spilling, acting like a king
But the world is too big for your little crown thing
Now you’re playing God, but I’m standing tall
Your power doesn't faze me, don’t touch me at all
When I’m shining, when I win, you never say a word
No “hello,” no “congrats,” nothing ever heard
But when I’m down, problems knocking at my gate
You’re the first one ringing, can’t even wait
So I stay, I stay
Quiet, learned the game they play
Fake friends drag you back, real ones light the way
You think you’re ahead, but I flipped the script
You just slipped
So I stay, I stay
Quiet, learned the game you play
Fake friends drag you back, real ones light the way
You think you’re ahead, but I flipped the script
You just slipped
So I stay, I stay
I’LL STAY AWAY
Every time I rise, you try to pull me down
But I’ve learned to fight, I won’t wear your crown
Your mask is falling, your truth is clear
You never were a friend, just a shadow near
When I’m shining, when I win, you never say a thing
With success in my hand, I don't hear anything,
No “hello” my friend , you are my man”
when I say I’m broken, problems in sight
You’re the first one ringing, How is life?
So I stay, I stay
Quiet, learned the game they play
Fake friends drag you back, real ones light the way
You think you’re ahead, but I flipped the script
You just slipped
So I stay, I stay
Quiet, learned the game you play
Fake friends drag you back, real ones light the way
You think you’re ahead, but I flipped the script
You just slipped
So I stay, I stay
I’LL STAY AWAY
I got inside your mind, and you didn’t even see
By the time you wake up, you won’t find me
You’ll scream “friend?” but that was never true
Check the mirror, it’s only pity looking back at you
So I stay, I stay
Quiet, learned the game they play
Fake friends drag you back, real ones light the way
You think you’re ahead, but I flipped the script
You just slipped
I STAY
Two steps ahead, I’ll always remain
You’re stuck in the past, I’ve broken the chain
You are my past and I'm two steps ahead...
You’re left behind
No more in my life
So I stay, I stay
Quiet, learned the game they play
Fake friends drag you back, real ones light the way
I’m two steps forward, you just slipped
So I stay...
SO I'LL STAY AWAY!
