Have you ever felt like you needed to thank the artist for a song that means so much to you? This is that song.

I honestly always thought this song is about suicide. If you listen carefully you realize she's saying goodbye while reflecting upon the time spent on earth. Moreover, it gets more explicit when she says that everyone is going to love her because people always show love and mercy for those who die regardless what they were in life.

I wonder how many times do artists think of such deep meanings in their songs while writing them and how many times it's just us seein it even before the artists notice it :?

I think much of the writing process can be subconscious, especially in its early stages. Do you ever happen to write something not even knowing what you're trying to say? You just go on sentence by sentence, turning every bit of a feeling into a thought and they all seem unrelated at first and you just go from there slowly becoming aware of the bigger picture later. This is why songwriting and other similar creative processes are said to be therapeutic.

Antonio Race I like your theory but the line is “where everyone is going to love me now”, not as you say, “that everyone is going to love me now”, and that kinda changes it back to the suicide theory.

this song made me feel less alone. not physically, but in a way that shows that there are people out there who feel the same way as you.

I didn't realize that the suicidal undertone of the song went unrecognized by so many. It makes me wonder what it means for that message of the song to have hit me immediately upon hearing it. It's all I've ever taken this song to mean because I know exactly the feelings she describes. "Everybody thought I'd finish strong." "Maybe I can go away / Where everyone is gonna love me now." It's a terrible feeling to understand this song on a personal level, I think. It aches.

Me too

I wasn't born to fade.

I'll admit this song sounds like a suicide note, but it's so poetic in its hopelessness. She made a beautiful thing out of something tragic.

New Ingrid music that makes me wanna cry. Aww yiss.

I am here because of 'If I Stay'. Lovely song. Perfect for the movie. :)

when i'm asleep and all the voices in my head that i never realized were so loud and stifling suddenly vanish into the quiet consciousness of the present world... that's the end of this song.

That buildup through the coda/outro is amazing

This is great! Beautiful ending, one of the best songs on the album!

this always hits me so hard every time I listen to it.

her best song, I think. Beautiful

I don't really comment but wow this song understands my mood ❤ Ingrid is the best , thank you

Incredible album! Congratulations to Ingrid

but everyone already loves you now, even if they dont know it (or want to keep it a secret to themselves) because youre awesome and can put emotion into sound

This song hit me right in the heart. So beautiful!

This is so beautiful.

If I stay. But I love Ingrid's Music.

Love the instrumental part towards the end... 4:30 ahh just so beautiful :)

I'm a singer myself and you just really inspire me:) you're voice has such great tone quality and pitch.

This is beautiful Ingrid...wish you had a video for it : )

Awww this song hits hard :(

I imagine the MV for this song to be in a parking lot at night and she flies away to outer-space during that epic vocal part.

this album is so good

This song is so pretty. It reminds me of a Beatles song....maybe two Beatles' songs but I can't remember which ones.

It's even more sublime and beautiful live.

Astonishing, touching and relatable

This remininds me so much of my Best Friend Who commited suicide. She certainly went were everyone is gonna love her now

I was thinking the same thing about Coldplay. It's perfect with Ingrid but it made me think of them. Lovely work Ingrid, as usual. I hum your songs to my daughter when she's flustered and she calms down (she's 2).

This one is so good it sounds Beatle-Esque.

I can understand how some are saying this sounds like it's about suicide. Given it is featured in the movie, "If I Stay", I would argue it's more for someone that is simply finding a reason to live. In the movie, the girl has been through something traumatic and is close to dying, and she chooses whether she should stay or go "where everyone is gonna love me now". I believe anyone could feel like this at some point in their life if they've recently had a relationship end, and feeling their partner is not letting them go so they can move on in their life. That's what it meant for me anyways.

This is my favorite song to cry to

YES YES YES

this is still so beautiful

I heard this today in the if I stay trailer and I freaked out!

Maybe I should go away where everyone is gonna love me now...

Sublime.

I’ve always been a fan of lyricists. Ingrid is truly an amazing artist who can paint a picture with her lyrics. However interpreted, she has impacted so many people with this beautifully written song. I travel as an international artist and I took this as me leaving my safe zone to truly do what I love. It’s bitter sweet. Maybe I took it too literal. But either way, it inspired me to leave home and share my musical gift from Canada to the EU then to the opposite side of the world Japan and New Zealand. Thank-you for this #anthem @ingridmichaelson 🔥❤️ #inspiration

If I stay trailer bought me here 😍

Ohhh I really like your voice and the lyrics..

Wooow.... I like!!!. Thanks.

I love you Ingrid Michaelson

Favorite off of the new album!

This is excellent

I love the new album

this song makes me cry...

OMG , I rreally. love it

I LIKE THIS SONG

Stars are lighting up the parking lot It came to me the second I forgot You gotta let me go If I knew the way to less alone Then it wouldn't sink me like a stone Find the words to save I wasn't born to fade Maybe I can go away Where everyone is gonna love me now I was never right but never wrong Everybody thought I'd finish strong But I can get there soon If you push me to the moon Maybe I can go away Where everyone is gonna love me now Oh, maybe I can go away Where everyone is gonna love me now Oh Where everyone is gonna love me now

Beautiful😘😘😘

Love it :)

Another great one:)

First! So excited for the tour.

Love ♡

death is a part of this song thats for sure but i dunno about suicide. the first line says stars are lighting up in the parking lot. means that she died in a parking lot with the lights in the parking lot being the stars. i mean who would commit suicide in a parking lot?

@EllaBella711

Joshua Takahashi The next line is "came to me the second I forgot" which sounds a lot like depression, the horrible feeling wells up inside of you as soon as you start feeling a little bit better. The theme of suicide fits with majority of the song lyrics and the tone. The parking lot part could mean that she is parked by a bridge or skyscraper, as jumping is not an uncommon way to end your own life. Thats just my take on it though!

Did anyone notice she's putting up the sign using her hands lol right there in front of you
