Leave A Little Love
Alesso & Armin van Buuren Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Before you go and leave my life
Find paradise in someone else's eyes
Just one thing you'll promise me
I'm begging please, please, please

Just leave a little love for me
Yeah
Leave a little love for me

Just leave a little love for me
Yeah
Leave a little love for me

Before you go and leave my life
Find paradise in someone else's eyes
Just one thing you'll promise me
I'm begging please, please, please

Just leave a little love for me

When I'm drowning in the midnight
I'm tryna mend my broken heart
I could tell you what it feels like
I'm tryna shoot straight in the dark

One step closer
Standing on the edge, I'm looking over
Here's to my regrets, it's time for closure
But I can't seem to close the door
Oh, no

Before you go and leave my life
Find paradise in someone else's eyes
Just one thing you'll promise me
I'm begging please, please, please

Just leave a little love for me
Yeah
Leave a little love for me
Just leave a little love for me
Yeah
Leave a little love for me

Before you go and leave my life
Find paradise in someone else's eyes
Just one thing you'll promise me
I'm begging please, please, please

Just leave a little love for me
Yeah
Leave a little love for me
(Oh no)
Just leave a little love for me
Yeah
Leave a little love for me
(Oh no)

Before you go and leave my life
Find paradise in someone else's eyes
Just one thing you'll promise me
I'm begging please, please, please

Just leave a little love for me
Yeah
Leave a little love for me
(Oh no)
Just leave a little love for me
Yeah

Leave a little love for me
(Oh no)
