Don't leave
Ben Woodward Lyrics

You know me
Addressing the person he is singing to, acknowledging that they have an established relationship

Now and then, I'm a mess
Admitting to occasionally having personal issues and difficulties

Please don't hold that against me
Asking the person not to judge or be upset with him for his shortcomings

I'm a girl with a temper and heat
Describing himself as a passionate and sometimes emotional person

I know I can be crazy
Acknowledging that he can sometimes act irrational or unpredictable

But I'm not just a fuck-up, I'm the fuck-up you need
Asserting that despite his flaws, he is the person who is right for the other person in the relationship

I don't hear nobody when you focus on me
Noticing that he is the other person's center of attention when they are together

Perfectly imperfect, yeah, I hope that you see
Accepting that he and the other person both have flaws and that's what makes them perfect together

Tell me you see
Requesting confirmation from the other person that they understand and accept the imperfect aspects of their relationship

'Cause I know that you've been thinking 'bout it
Acknowledging that the other person has been considering the state of their relationship

Don't leave
Pleading with the other person to not end the relationship

Shut your mind off and let your heart breathe
Encouraging the other person to ignore any negative thoughts and to focus on their emotions

You don't need to be worried
Assuring the other person that they don't need to have any reservations about their relationship

I may not ever get my shit together
Admitting a potential future lack of personal growth and improvement

But ain't nobody gonna love you better
Reassuring the other person that despite his potential flaws, he will always love and care for them

Don't go
Reiterating the plea for the other person to stay in the relationship

What we have here is irreplaceable
Stating that their relationship is unique and cannot be replaced

No, I won't trade this for nothing
Asserting that he wouldn't give up their relationship for anything else

In a room full of people with you
Observing that when he is with the other person, he only sees them and ignores everyone else

I don't see anybody else, no
Reiterating that the other person is his sole focus when they are together

When we fight, and you're right
Acknowledging that sometimes their disagreements result in the other person being correct

So sorry, I make it just so difficult
Apologizing for his behavior during disagreements

But I'm not just a fuck-up, I'm the fuck-up you love
Asserting that despite his flaws, he is the person the other person loves and wants to be with

We ain't like nobody else, tell me so what
Embracing their unique relationship and not caring how it compares to others

Let me wrap myself around you, baby
Expressing a desire to be physically close with the other person

Let me tell you you are everything, you are
Affirming how significant and important the other person is to him

Losing my words, I don't know where to start
Expressing that his emotions are overwhelming and difficult to communicate

But baby, don't leave me
Reiterating the plea for the other person to not end the relationship

Shut your mind off and let your heart hear me
Encouraging the other person to listen to his heartfelt message and not be swayed by negative thoughts

There ain't nobody gonna love you better than me
Reaffirming that he truly cares for the other person and will always love them
