You Were Supposed To Stay — Emotional Metalcore (Still Here)

You Were Supposed To Stay — Emotional Metalcore (Still Here)

“You Were Supposed To Stay” is an emotional metalcore track about abandonment, broken promises, and learning to survive after someone leaves without warning. It captures the hollow aftermath of building a life around someone who suddenly disappears.

The song moves through grief, self-questioning, and the pain of realizing you were alone long before the goodbye. It confronts the weight of carrying everything, holding on until it hurts, and being left to deal with love that has nowhere to go.

This isn’t about anger — it’s about loss. Standing in the silence after the door closes, screaming just to feel alive, and surviving what someone else left behind.

🎵 LYRICS

You Were Supposed To Stay

I still hear your name
In rooms that don’t exist anymore
I still reach for you
Like you didn’t disappear overnight

I built my days around your breathing
Learned your silence like a language
Every promise felt like shelter
Now the walls are closing in

You said we’d figure it out
Said this wasn’t the end
But you left without warning
And I was still unpacking my heart

I don’t know what hurts more
Losing you
Or realizing I was alone
Before you even walked away

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO STAY!
I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING I HAD
YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO STAY!
NOW I’M TALKING TO THE PAST
YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO STAY!
YOU LEFT ME HERE WITH ALL THIS PAIN
AND I CAN’T BREATHE
WITHOUT SCREAMING YOUR NAME

I’m still here
I’m just… not whole anymore

I replay every moment
Looking for the fracture
The second I became
Too much or not enough

I carried us on my back
Until my spine gave out
You said I was your home
Then you locked the door

Tell me what I missed
Tell me what I broke
Because silence feels like blame
And I’m drowning in it

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO STAY!
I HELD ON UNTIL I BLED
YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO STAY!
NOW I’M HAUNTED BY WHAT WE SAID
YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO STAY!
YOU LEFT ME HERE WITH ALL THIS PAIN
AND I CAN’T BREATHE
WITHOUT SCREAMING YOUR NAME

I don’t hate you
I just don’t know how to live
With all this love
Now that it has nowhere to go

WHERE DO I PUT THE PART OF ME
THAT ONLY EXISTED FOR YOU?
YOU PROMISED YOU WOULDN’T DESTROY?

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO STAY!
THIS WASN’T HOW IT ENDS
YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO STAY!
I’M STILL HERE — JUST BENT
YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO STAY!
I SURVIVED WHAT YOU LEFT BEHIND
NOW LET ME SCREAM
UNTIL I FEEL ALIVE

You were supposed to stay…
And I’m still here.
