Here I Stand
A.lo feat. DISL Automatic Lyrics

Oh, baby
Addressing the person of affection

Girl, don't pull the rug from under my feet
Please do not blindside me or cut me off emotionally

Don't do it baby
Asking the person of affection not to take drastic actions

Don't leave, don't leave me so
Pleading the person of affection not to abandon the relationship

I'm talking in my sleep
The fear of losing the person of affection is affecting their subconscious

This could be the start of a nightmare
The fear of losing the person of affection could lead to an emotional torment

Waking up and not finding you there
The fear of losing the person of affection could manifest in dreams

It would be more than I could stand
The emotional distress of losing the person of affection would be unbearable

Girl, don't leave me so I'm pacing the floor
The fear of losing the person of affection is causing anxiety and restlessness

Don't do it baby
Asking the person of affection not to act impulsively

'Cause that's, that's what I'll do
The person of affection's actions could lead to a similar response

If you close the door, yeah
If the person of affection ends the relationship, it would be final

Maybe I've been too hung up on myself
Reflecting on past behavior and acknowledging a potential issue

But don't change me by putting my heart on a shelf
Asking the person of affection not to abandon him emotionally

It would be more than I could stand, listen baby
The emotional toll of being abandoned would be too much to bear

Why you wanna leave me? Why you wanna go?
Questioning the motivation behind the person of affection's desire to end the relationship

I promise not to never hurt you, no more
Making a commitment to improve future behavior and not cause any more emotional pain

Please don't leave me, please don't go
Pleading with the person of affection not to end the relationship

It's causin' my heart to ache, causin' it to break
The fear of losing the person of affection is causing emotional pain

We, we've still got a love
Reminding the person of affection of the love they share

Got of love to give, yeah
The love they share is still strong and can continue to grow

So turn around, baby, turn around
Asking the person of affection to reconsider ending the relationship

While there's a lot of life to live
They still have a future together and should not give up on it

Leavin' me would ruin all of my plans
Ending the relationship would have major consequences on his plans and future

It would be like tying the both of my hands
The person of affection's departure would limit his potential and choices in life

And that is more baby than I could stand, yeah
The emotional distress of losing the person of affection and his plans falling apart would be too much to bear

Please don't go, baby, please don't leave
Pleading with the person of affection to stay and not end the relationship

I never, never, I never, never hurt you, no more
Reiterating the commitment to not cause emotional pain in the future
