Don't Go
Bring Me The Horizon Featuring Lights Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was raised in the valley
There was shadows and death
Got out alive but with scars
I can't forget

This kid back in school
Subdued and shy
An orphan and a brother and unseen by most eyes
I don't know what it was that made a piece of him die
Took a boy to the forest
Slaughtered him with a scythe

Stamped on his face
An impression in the dirt
Do you think the silence
Makes a good man convert?

We all have our horrors
And our demons to fight
But how can I win when
I'm paralyzed?
They crawl up on my bed
Wrap their fingers round my throat
Is this what I get for
The choices that I made?

God forgive me for all my sins
God forgive me for everything
God forgive me for all my sins
God forgive me
God forgive me

Don't go
I can't do this on my own
Don't go
I can't do this on my own
Save me from the ones
That haunt me in the night
I can't live with myself
So stay with me tonight
Don't go
Don't go

If I let you in
You'd just want out
If I tell you the truth
You'd vie for a lie
If I spilt my guts
It would make a mess
We can't clean up

If you follow me
You will only get lost
If you try to get closer
We'll only lose touch
Yes you already know too much
And you're not going anywhere

Tell me that you need me 'cause I love you so much
Tell me that you love me 'cause I need you so much
Tell me that you need me 'cause I love you so much
Say you'll never leave me 'cause I need you so much

Don't go
I can't do this on my own
Don't go
I can't do this on my own
Save me from the ones
That haunt me in the night
I can't live with myself
So stay with me tonight

Don't go
I can't do this on my own
Don't go
Save me from the ones
That haunt me in the night
I can't live with myself
So stay with me tonight

Don't go
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go

Don't go
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go

Don't go
Don't go




Don't go
Don't go

Line by Line Meaning

I was raised in the valley
I grew up in a difficult and oppressive environment


There was shadows and death
The place I grew up was full of darkness and danger


Got out alive but with scars
Although I managed to escape, I still carry the emotional and physical wounds of my past


I can't forget
My traumatic past is something that haunts me even now


This kid back in school
I think back to a boy I went to school with


Subdued and shy
He was quiet and withdrawn


An orphan and a brother and unseen by most eyes
He was an orphan with siblings, but he was largely invisible to others


I don't know what it was that made a piece of him die
I am not sure what it was exactly that caused him to become so damaged


Took a boy to the forest
He lured a vulnerable child into the woods


Slaughtered him with a scythe
He brutally murdered the innocent boy


Stamped on his face
He left a gruesome mark on the victim's face


An impression in the dirt
The ground still carries the weight of the act of violence


Do you think the silence
Do you believe that keeping quiet about evil makes a good person?


Makes a good man convert?
Does staying silent and refusing to acknowledge wrongdoing make someone righteous?


We all have our horrors
Everyone has gone through something terrible in their lives


And our demons to fight
We all have inner struggles and battles to overcome


But how can I win when
However, it feels like a losing battle


I'm paralyzed?
I feel like I'm unable to move forward or make progress


They crawl up on my bed
Fears and anxieties overwhelm me in moments of vulnerability


Wrap their fingers round my throat
It feels like I am being suffocated by my own fears


Is this what I get for
Is this my punishment for


The choices that I made?
The crappy decisions I have made in the past?


God forgive me for all my sins
I plead for forgiveness from a higher power for all the wrong I've done


Don't go
Please don't leave me alone in my distress


I can't do this on my own
I cannot handle this by myself


Save me from the ones
Protect me from my own demons and emotions


That haunt me in the night
That continually torment me, even in my sleep


I can't live with myself
I feel like I am unable to cope with the person I have become


So stay with me tonight
Please be here to support me through my struggles


If I let you in
If I allow you to become close to me


You'd just want out
You will eventually grow tired of me and want to leave


If I tell you the truth
If I am fully honest with you


You'd vie for a lie
You would wish that I had kept the truth hidden from you


If I spilt my guts
If I reveal everything to you


It would make a mess
It would be chaotic and hard to deal with


We can't clean up
We are unable to fix the damage that would be done


If you follow me
If you choose to come closer to me


You will only get lost
You will likely become just as troubled and lost as I am


If you try to get closer
If you attempt to join me in my struggles


We'll only lose touch
We may drift apart or lose the closeness we currently share


Yes you already know too much
You have already learned more than you wanted or anticipated


And you're not going anywhere
Despite everything, I need you to stay with me and keep me grounded


Tell me that you need me 'cause I love you so much
I require validation that you truly and genuinely love me


Tell me that you love me 'cause I need you so much
I need to feel appreciated and loved by someone else to feel whole


Say you'll never leave me 'cause I need you so much
Promise that you will not abandon me because I depend on you heavily

Sai vivo, mas com cicatrizes que eu não consigo esquecer
Esta criança volta pra escola subjugada e tímida
Um órfão e um irmão e invisíveis pela maioria dos olhos

Eu não sei o que foi que fez um pedaço dele morrer
Levou um menino para a floresta, abateu-o com uma foice
Estampado no rosto uma impressão de sujeira
Você acha que o silêncio faz um bom homem converter?

Todos nós temos nossos horrores e nossos demônios para lutar
Mas como eu posso ganhar quando estou paralisado?
Eles rastejam na minha cama, enrolam seus dedos em volta da minha garganta
É isso que eu recebo pelas escolhas que eu fiz?

Deus, me perdoe por todos os meus pecados
Deus, me perdoe por tudo
Deus, me perdoe por todos os meus pecados
Deus, me perdoe, Deus, me perdoe

Não vá, eu não consigo fazer isso sozinho
Não vá, eu não consigo fazer isso sozinho
Me salve daqueles que me assombram à noite
Eu não posso viver comigo mesmo, então fique comigo esta noite, não vá

Não vá

Se eu te deixar entrar, você só iria querer sair
Se eu te contar a verdade, você disputaria por uma mentira
Se eu derramar minhas vísceras
Iria fazer uma bagunça, não conseguiríamos limpar

Se você me seguir, você só vai se perder
Se você tentar se aproximar, só vamos perder o contato
Mas você já sabe demais
E você não vai a lugar nenhum

Diga que você precisa de mim, porque eu te amo tanto
Diga que você me ama, porque eu preciso tanto de você
Diga que você precisa de mim, porque eu te amo tanto
Fale que você nunca vai me deixar, porque eu preciso tanto de você

Não vá, eu não consigo fazer isso sozinho
Não vá, eu não consigo fazer isso sozinho
Me salve daqueles que me assombram à noite
Eu não posso viver comigo mesmo, então fique comigo esta noite

Não vá, eu não consigo fazer isso sozinho
Não vá
Me salve daqueles que me assombram à noite
Eu não posso viver comigo mesmo, então fique comigo esta noite, não vá (diga que você me ama)

Não vá, não vá
Não vá, não vá
Não vá (diga que você me ama)
Não vá (diga que você precisa de mim)
Não vá (diga que você me ama)
Não vá (diga que você precisa de mim)
Não vá (diga que você me ama)
Não vá (diga que você precisa de mim)
Não vá
