There's something in the way Sam Smith sings "Stay With Me" that resonates with me. In the song, it's clear that he's not good with one night stands and the relationship isn't love. What I wonder is if he's using or being used by the other person. One interpretation of the lyrics is that he doesn't want to be with the other person but doesn't want to be by himself and is asking that person to stay. The lyrics could also be interpreted as him knowing he's being used and doesn't care; thus, he may care deeply for this person (or more than the other person cares for him), and is asking the other person to stay because that person's physical presence is good enough for him.
What do you think? How else could this song be interpreted? Have you been in a relationship where it wasn't love, but clearly want the other person to stay?
