"Last Chapter", alternatively titled "Never Stayed for Love", is an unreleased song by Neon Hitch that was intended for Melanie Martinez.
The full song leaked on February 12, 2020.
Background[]
This song and "A Thousand Words" originate from "Stay for Love", a song written during a studio session in May 2013 by Melanie Martinez, Neon Hitch, and John Feldmann. "Stay for Love" was later split into two separate tracks and reworked by Neon and John into "Last Chapter" on an unknown date, without Melanie's direct involvement, resulting in her receiving only a writing credit.[2]
Theme[]
This song tells a history of a past relationship where everything seemed to be perfect as a fairytale, but one day the other partner leaves her alone, stealing the "last chapter" of their story, and now she realizes that he "never stayed for love".
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Once upon a time you were mine
When we took flight like castles in the sky
And oh your perfect looks had me hooked
This heart you took to castles in the sky
[Refrain]
Ah ooh, could've been happy ever after
Ooh, could've been happy ever after
[Pre-chorus]
Like Sleeping Beauty never woke up
Like Rapunzel but he never climbed up
Cinderella never found the slipper
As for you
[Chorus]
You never stayed for love
Stay for love, stay for love, stay for love
And you stay for love, stay for love, stay for love
Stay for love now
[Post-chorus]
You just tore out our last chapter
[Verse 2]
A long time ago fantasies grew
But hearts were cold like castles in the sky
Prince that you once seemed, sold me a dream
Was it make-believe, like castles in the sky?
[Refrain]
Ah ooh, could've been happy ever after
Ooh, could've been happy ever after
[Pre-chorus]
Like Sleeping Beauty never woke up
Like Rapunzel but he never climbed up
Cinderella never found the slipper
As for you
[Chorus]
You never stayed for love
Stay for love, stay for love, stay for love
And you stay for love, stay for love, stay for love
Stay for love now
[Bridge]
Our spark couldn't hold a flame
You play love like it's a game
Now look what we became
(Ah, ah, ah)
We sunk in stormy weather
You lost the hidden treasure
Now I'm so much better
(Ah, ah, ah)
[Chorus]
You never stayed for love
Stay for love, stay for love, stay for love
And you stay for love, stay for love, stay for love
Stay for love now
[Post-chorus]
You just tore out our last chapter
