Stone Sour - Hesitate [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

Co-directed by PR Brown and The Beta Movement

LYRICS

You were my fire, so I burned
Til' there was nothing left of me
I... I touched your face, I held you close
Til' I could barely breathe
Why give me hope, then give me up
Just to be the death of me
Save the rest of me...

Cuz I see you
But I can't feel you anymore
So go away
I need you
But I can't need you anymore
You hesitate

Now
Now and then, you come around,
Like there's something left for me
We were one, we were everything
I'm still here but I'll just keep the rest for me

Cuz I see you
But I can't feel you anymore
So go away
I need you
But I can't need you anymore
You hesitate

We never made it
You hesitated
I don't believe

That I see you, but I can't feel you anymore - so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore - you hesitate
Cuz I see you, but I can't feel you anymore - so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore - you hesitate - hesitate

You were my fire, so I burned.
Now there's nothing left of me...

"it's a bittersweet song about letting go something that you want with all your heart, but you know that it's going to do nothing but damage to you" - Corey Taylor

[elioncuci]

The guy who can make you want to beat somebody's face in until it's covered in blood can also melt your heart <3

As someone who is incredibly private and introverted I don’t convey my emotions well. Through the pain and heartbreaks of life I have only withdrawn more from people. This song really speaks to me. It communicates what I’m thinking and feeling without needing to admit it to anyone. Thank you Corey

[semiblasted]

I absolutely love stonesour and slipknot just him being able to sing both genres of music is amazing shows how talented corey taylor really is

[laurencewhite]

I've loved this song for a long time, but only recently has it really developed personal meaning to me.  Corey describes it as being about something that you want so much, but you know will not be any good for you, and as heartbreaking as it may be, you have to let it go, something we all have to do sometime.  Thank you Stone Sour.

Here in 2020 and this is still the best power ballad of this century.

[CaioViniciusMaciel]

Corey always knew how to reach people's hearts in his lyrics. This song is another masterpiece. Great one!

[kornfreak]

To think.. I used to feel this deeply for my ex... used to not be able to listen to this song without being a complete mess.. heh.. that's the beauty of time... you move on. Anyway, this song is great. Corey has one hell of a voice.

[Vortigan]

"I see you, but I can't feel you anymore, so go away". These words hit hard for those of us that have lived them! Fantastic song!

[jamilaandersson]

Corey Has An Amazing Voice
Whatever He Sings It's a Masterpiece
So Damn Awesome♥

[DragonRyder]

Corey is by FAR one of the most talented musicians and vocalists I have ever listened to. I've never heard a song from Stone Sour or Slipknot that I havent been able to connect with in one way or another. I first heard this song after losing a very close and dear friend, and it resonates with me. I hope I get to meet Corey one day and tell him his music has saved me from myself many times, and that sooo many of his songs have brou light to my darkness.

[katmossman]

This song means more to me than words could ever convey. Where words fail, music speaks.. thank you Corey!

[donnkieballs]

You could make a whole CD of just this song repeating and it'd still be a better album than ALOT of bands out there

[Davis]

Corey has a great voice for any style of music.

[rbmaggot]

Man, I really miss when Jim was in this band… I feel he made those solos more emotional.. this song always holds a special place in my heart ❤️ always

[kanatah]

You were my fire, so I burned
Til' there was nothing left of me
I, I touched your face, I held you close
Til' I could barely breathe
Why give me hope, then give me up
Just to be the death of me
Save the rest of me
'Cause I see you, but I can't feel you anymore - so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore, you hesitate
Now, now and then, you come around, like there's something left for me
We were one, we were everything
I'm still here, but I'll just keep the rest of me
Cuz I see you, but I can't feel you anymore, so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore, you hesitate
We never made it, you hesitated, I don't believe
That I see you, but I can't feel you anymore - so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore, you hesitate
Cuz I see you, but I can't feel you anymore, so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore, you hesitate, hesitate
You were my fire, so I burned, now there's nothing left of me

[daniemaree]

Corey just sang all my emotions, which I struggle to put into words myself. Man Corey is my role model. He knows pain, but still wants to see all his fans and people in general to be happy. Thanks Corey, you will always be a legend.

[jussanotherool]

Corey has always been a big inspiration for me. This song really hit home. I can't tell you how many times I cried over my ex while listening to this song. I never thought I'd ever be able to release so much pain and hurt. While I screamed in agony over her. I will never forget this. I'm suprised I can even feel again. Corey released all of this for me. I love you bro.

[borealis.]

I love this song, The lyrics really hit home.
The repetition of "I see you, but I can't feel you, anymore" emphasizes the emotional distance that has developed, where the connection feels lost despite the physical presence. The speaker struggles with needing the person but also recognizing that they can't rely on them anymore.
The lyrics convey the pain of a fading love and the conflict between wanting to hold on and the realization that it may be time to let go.

You were my fire, so I burned... til' there was nothing left of me
I... I touched your face, I held you close... til' I could barely breathe
Why give me hope, then give me up... just to be the death of me
Save the rest of me...

Cuz I see you, but I can't feel you anymore - so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore - you hesitate

Now... now and then, you come around, like there's something left for me
We were one... we were everything
I'm still here... but I'll just keep the rest of me

Cuz I see you, but I can't feel you anymore - so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore - you hesitate

We never made it... you hesitated... I don't believe

That I see you, but I can't feel you anymore - so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore - you hesitate
Cuz I see you, but I can't feel you anymore - so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore - you hesitate - hesitate

You were my fire, so I burned... now there's nothing left of me...
