Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
いい気分で坂を転がり
欲にまかして 生きてゆくのは意外と
簡単な game of love
コインひとつで片がつくなら yeah
Don't leave me だれもいない
It's too late 届くわけない
どんなに優しさあふれる 言葉も宙に消える
思い出はいつも 綺麗な花びらみたい
間抜けな心 もてあそびながら
悲しみに追い込むよ yeah
Don't leave me だれもいない
僕を許してくれるのは 君以外に
It's too late 信じられない
こんなに胸が痛いのに いつか忘れるなんて
似たよなこと 何度繰り返して yeah
いったいどこに 辿り着けるの tell me, baby
Don't leave me だれもいない
僕を許してくれるのは 君以外に
It's too late 後戻りのない
人生を今はじめて振り返る
Don't leave me, baby だれもいない
僕を包んでくれるのは 本当にいないよ
It's too late 君の代わりは
身を切り血を流しても 癒せない pain, yeah
The lyrics to B'z's song "Don't Leave Me" seem to be about the pain of losing someone you love and begging them not to leave you. The first verse speaks about how foolishly easy it is to make mistakes in relationships, leading to a game of love that should be played with more sincerity. The second verse discusses memories that are like beautiful flower petals, but the silly heart will play with and push into sadness. The chorus repeats the song title's plea not to leave, with the realization that forgiving someone else or being forgiven is rare, and without the other person, there is an irreplaceable pain that cannot be healed by anyone else.
The lyrics explore the themes of love, regret, and loss. The verses discuss the ease of making mistakes in relationships and the pain and sadness that come with losing someone. The chorus is a plea to not be left alone, with the realization that without the other person, the pain is unbearable.
The song is sung in Japanese, so it may be challenging for non-Japanese speakers to interpret the meaning of the lyrics. However, the emotions conveyed through the song are universal, making it relatable to many people around the world.

この曲本当に好き
この頃の声が好きなせいも有るんだろうけどこのダメ男の描写が素晴らしい
ドンリーブミー
置いてかないでですもんね
もう相手は自分の話を聞いてくれないんですよね
だから。どんな優しい言葉も宙に消える
二番では思い出たちは花びらみたいと形容されてますね
つまり、美化している過去
それをこんな素晴らしい歌詞に置き換えられるなんて本当に稲葉浩志さんの作詞能力の高さ
