This actually makes sense to me. I get where you're coming from, I think. "Stay" gives me the feeling that she's eager and willing and even desperate to stay in this broken, toxic relationship that's slowly destroying her.

LTWYL, to me, isn't necessarily condoning the behaviors it's talking about/describing. It's not saying "this is what I want, let's do this forever". It's just sort of putting it out there, "this is how it is between us". If that makes sense.

TLDR: "Stay" seems pro-abusive relationship to me. LTWYL seems more to be just describing it without condoning or condemning. I get it, OP.

[agnes_bean]

Honestly, to me LTWYL seems to actively acknowledge how fucked up the situation is.

[darkdreamer]

You're right. I agree, really. I just mean, I could see how some people could take issue with it because it definitely insinuates neither party is ending that fucked up relationship anytime soon :/

But I agree, it definitely indicates that this is NOT a healthy situation at all.

[lynx]

^This. Disclaimer: I haven't heard the other song. But LTWYL doesn't feel like it's romantizing at all the fucked up relationship. It's describing it, it outright states it can end even in death at the end in the most ugly way. And they are stuck that way, and it's all-around an awful thing.

[elephantinegrace]

And half if LTWYL is sung from the abuser's point of view, humanizing him. You can hear his guilt and determination to change even as you know he never will. That's a pretty big part of why people stay in abusive relationships; you can tell the abuser's sincere and you remember a time when s/he was nothing but good, and you're sure that that time will come again. It reminds you how dangerous that line of thinking is. Stay is that line of thinking.

[(Anonymous)]

Kind of off-topic, but I always thought LTWYL was about two equally abusive people.

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed. This is more clear, however, in part 2: you hit me twice, yeah, but who’s countin’?
I may have hit you three times, I’m startin’ to lose count

[visp]

Yeah, pretty much. LTWYL is sorta... exploring the fucked-up dynamic of an abusive relationship, and Stay is just justifying and delusion.

[(Anonymous)]

Not disagreeing with you but I've heard "Stay" a few times and looked up the lyrics and didn't get the impression it was about an abusive relationship. Just curious why you think it so? Maybe something went over my head lol.

[(Anonymous)]

Yep, all of this! Also why I hate stay and love LTWYL.
