Don't Leave Me Alone
Alcazar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't you see I can't stop crying
I get down on my knees
I'll be begging you please
Don't leave me alone
Leave me alone
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone
Last night we were celebrating
You played truth or dare
I came out hallucinating
And love was in the air
We met down in club land
We had an affair
We danced in the spotlight
The fire was there
You said I'm the only
Then walked out of town
I beg you please don't turn around
Leave me alone
Can't you see I can't stop crying
I get down on my knees
I'll be begging you please
Don't leave me alone
Leave me alone
Can't you see I can't stop crying
If you walk out that door
I can't stand it no more
Don't leave me alone
Sitting through this courtroom drama
Of who did what to who me
Stand accused of cold seduction
The cameras ready zoom
You said there was more
That your love was for real
You said you'd come back
For my heartache to heal
I stand on a bridge
And I'm ready to fly
This time it's my last goodbye
Leave me alone
Can't you see I can't stop crying
I get down on my knees
I'll be begging you please
Don't leave me alone
Leave me alone
Can't you see I can't stop crying
If you walk out that door
I can't stand it no more
Don't leave me alone
Leave me alone
Can't you see I can't stop crying
I get down on my knees
I'll be begging you please
Don't leave me alone
Leave me alone
We met down in club land
We had an affair
We danced in the spotlight
The fire was there
You said I'm the only
Then walked out of town
I beg you please don't turn around
You said there was more
That your love was for real
You said you'd come back
For my heartache to heal
I stand on a bridge
And I'm ready to fly
This time it's my last goodbye
Leave me alone
Can't you see I can't stop crying
I get down on my knees
I'll be begging you please
Don't leave me alone
Leave me alone
Can't you see I can't stop crying
If you walk out that door
I can't stand it no more
Don't leave me alone
In "Leave Me Alone," Alcazar sings about a painful breakup and the desperation that comes with it. The singer pleads for their partner not to leave them, acknowledging how hard it is to stop crying and begging on their knees. The lyrics suggest that the couple met in club land and had a passionate affair, but the other person walked out of town, leaving the singer heartbroken. The song seems to be a final plea for the partner to come back before the singer is driven over the edge, standing on a bridge and ready to fly.
The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that started with passion but ended with betrayal and hurt. The song's chorus, with its repetition of "Don't leave me alone," captures the agony of someone who doesn't want to face the world without their loved one. The singer is so desperate for their partner not to leave them that they're willing to get down on their knees to beg for their return. The line "If you walk out that door, I can't stand it no more" shows just how much the singer's entire world is collapsing around them.
Ultimately, "Leave Me Alone" is a poignant song about the pain of heartbreak and the lengths we'll go to avoid it. The lyrics show how the end of a relationship can leave us feeling lost, alone, and completely destroyed. The desperation in the lyrics is palpable, making it a powerful and emotional track.
