Stay Gone
A contemporary R&B track about the contradiction of pushing someone away while wanting them to stay — the fear underneath the distance, the quiet kept louder than anything said out loud. Rhodes piano, sub-bass, trap hi-hats, and a warm raspy vocal that means the opposite of what it says.

There's a particular kind of loneliness that lives in your own words — the ones you said and didn't mean, the goodbye you gave while hoping they'd ignore it. Stay Gone sits in that contradiction: the push-and-pull of someone who knows how to build distance but not how to ask for closeness.
This is Track 8 in the Daily AI R&B series. Contemporary R&B, 78 BPM. Rhodes piano, fingerstyle guitar, sub-bass groove, trap hi-hats, and a warm raspy vocal that doesn't quite hide what it's feeling.
Lyrics
[Intro]
Mm...
Yeah...
[Verse 1]
I said go home but I left the light on
Told you I was fine but I played our song
You took me at my word, walked out the door
I stood there wishing you'd ignored
[Pre-Chorus]
I know how to push, don't know how to ask
Keep hiding the want behind the mask
Every time I say I'm good, I mean stay
Every time I say it's fine, I mean please
[Chorus]
Stay gone, that's what I told you
Stay gone, but I can't let go
Stay gone, I said it so easy
But I meant come back, come back slow
Stay gone — and I hate that I meant it
Stay gone — but I didn't want it true
Stay gone is just a way of saying
I'm scared of needing you
[Verse 2]
You left a note, said "call me if you change your mind"
I've read it so many times the ink's gone dry
I'm holding all this quiet like a debt
The loudest thing I've said is what I kept
[Pre-Chorus]
I know how to push, don't know how to ask
Keep hiding the want behind the mask
Every time I say I'm good, I mean stay
Every time I say it's fine, I mean please
[Chorus]
Stay gone, that's what I told you
Stay gone, but I can't let go
Stay gone, I said it so easy
But I meant come back, come back slow
Stay gone — and I hate that I meant it
Stay gone — but I didn't want it true
Stay gone is just a way of saying
I'm scared of needing you
[Bridge]
Scared of needing
Scared of reaching
Scared you'd stay and I'd still leave
Scared you'd love me past the reasons
I keep giving you to grieve
So I say stay gone
Like a door I shut myself behind
Stay gone
Like I could love you and not mind
[Chorus]
Stay gone, that's what I told you
Stay gone, but I can't let go
Stay gone, I said it so easy
But I meant come back, come back slow
Stay gone — and I hate that I meant it
Stay gone — but I didn't want it true
Stay gone is just a way of saying
I'm scared of needing you
[Outro]
Stay gone...
Mm...
Come back slow...
