Don't Leave Me
An Honest Year Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Verse
Lost is where I'll be on this midnight drive
Without knowing where I'm going
I've been drinking too much
I think I think too much
Is this just me

Chorus
'Cause you'll never understand what you do to me
Just one touch feel your heart beating next to me
'Cause I've been waiting for so long just to see you leave
So don't leave me
Trust me baby I'll be your everything
Just one kiss one smile girl you make me sing
'Cause I've been waiting for so long just to see you leave
So don't leave me

Verse 2
So what am I doing here
Please say you love me dear
And don't let go
I was wrong to pick a fight
Cross my heart I'll make this right
Could you ever forgive me now
Will you ever forgive me now

Chorus
'Cause you'll never understand what you do to me
Just one touch feel your heart beating next to me
'Cause I've been waiting for so long just to see you leave
So don't leave me
Trust me baby I'll be your everything
Just one kiss one smile girl you make me sing
'Cause I've been waiting for so long just to see you leave
So don't leave me

Bridge
'Cause no matter where you go
And no matter what you do
I'll be there by your side
'Cause I'm crazy for you
I've been waiting for so long just to see you

Chorus
'Cause you'll never understand what you do to me
Just one touch feel your heart beating next to me
'Cause I've been waiting for so long just to see you leave
So don't leave me
Trust me baby I'll be your everything
Just one kiss one smile girl you make me sing
'Cause I've been waiting for so long just to see you leave
So don't leave me

Outro
'Cause no matter where you go
And no matter what you do
I'll be there by your side




'Cause I'm crazy for you
'Cause I'm crazy for you, yeah

What’s wrong with them blowing up? That’s the whole point of them being “secret” too many listeners. They eventually gon mold and blow up. ✨

keep it real 97 I never said there was a problem with them blowing. I just enjoy listening to low key artists because mainstream music gets played too much and kills the song tbh.🤷🏽‍♀️
