Baby Please
Birgit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why did you leave me in the dark?
Right now I am fumbling for the traces
But those fireflies don't spark
No those fireflies don't spark
Talked to your mother
Talked to your friends
Some of them told me lies some gave me advice
It kind a left me in the rain
All made it harder to explain, so let me tell you
Baby please, I won't go down on my knees
I'm a lover no disease so hold me
Baby for sure I won't crawl on the floor
I can't be ignored and if you never felt love
You could have told me, you could have told me
Where have you gone where can I find you
All I want te know is you're doing well
Wish you to leave that drag behind you
But those fireflies can't tell
Baby please, I won't go down on my knees
I'm a lover no disease so hold me
Baby for sure I won't crawl on the floor
I can't be ignored and if you never felt love
You could have told me, you could have told me
Ooh, I wonder where you can be
It's still a mystery to me
I reep on turning every stone
Here and fare away from home
I can't bear to be alone
Baby please, I won't go down on my knees
I'm a lover no disease so hold me
Baby for sure I won't crawl on the floor
I can't be ignored and if you never felt love
Don't say you never felt love
The lyrics to Birgit's song "Baby Please" are about the pain of heartbreak and the search for a lost love. The singer is lamenting the loss of someone who she loved deeply and is struggling to come to terms with it. She is searching for clues, talking to friends and family, but none of the information she receives is giving her the answers she needs. She reminisces about memories of the love, seeming almost desperate to find a way to get it back. She begs for the lost love to return, but at the same time, she's also saying that if the love wasn't there, to begin with, that should have been communicated.
The lyrics capture the complicated emotions of heartbreak and the search for closure. The image of "fireflies that don't spark" creates a metaphor of hopelessness and confusion. The singer's refusal to "go down on her knees" emphasizes her strength and dignity, refusing to plead for love that is not reciprocated. The repetition of "Baby Please" in the chorus emphasizes the desperation of the lost love but also highlights the need for closure.

Where have you gone little datdream
I'm lost without you, feeling abandoned
Why did you leave me in the dark?
I don't understand why you left without a trace
Right now I am fumbling for the traces
I'm desperately searching for any hint of where you might be
But those fireflies don't spark
Even the things that used to bring me joy don't anymore
Talked to your mother
I've tried to reach out to anyone who might know where you are
Talked to your friends
I've talked to everyone I can think of
To all the others who'd understand
I've asked anyone I thought might have insight into why you left
Some of them told me lies some gave me advice
But they've given me conflicting information, making things even more confusing
It kind a left me in the rain
Their input has made it even harder to make sense of the situation
Where have you gone where can I find you
I'm still searching for you, hoping to find any clue that might lead me to you
All I want te know is you're doing well
I just want to know that you're okay, even if we can't be together
Wish you to leave that drag behind you
I hope you're able to let go of whatever was holding you back from being happy
But those fireflies can't tell
Even the things I used to rely on for guidance seem silent and unhelpful now
Ooh, I wonder where you can be
I can't stop thinking about where you might be, what you're doing
It's still a mystery to me
I can't figure out why you left or what I could have done differently
I reep on turning every stone
I'm leaving no stone unturned in trying to find you
Here and fare away from home
I'm looking for you everywhere, even if it takes me far from home
I can't bear to be alone
I'm struggling to cope with your absence, feeling lost and helpless without you
Baby please, I won't go down on my knees
I'm not begging or pleading, but I still need you to know how much I care for you
I'm a lover no disease so hold me
I don't bring any harm, and all I want is to be close to you again
Baby for sure I won't crawl on the floor
I won't be submissive or let my pride be crushed in trying to win you back
I can't be ignored and if you never felt love
I can't be ignored, and if you truly never felt anything for me, I need to know
You could have told me, you could have told me
I wish you had been honest with me, so that I could understand and try to move on
Don't say you never felt love
I need you to confirm that whatever we had was real, even if it's over now
