Understand
Christian Leave Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Will you be mine?
Do you wanna stay?
I understand your options girl (uh, uh, yeah)
If you wanna go away

Will you be mine?
Will you love me 'til the end?
Do I stay on your mind like you do or am I just afraid?

And I know
That it's hard to choose
You're afraid of the things in your life that you might just lose

I want you to be mine
I wanna hold your hand
If all I have is tonight




Then I understand
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

They want to know if the other person will love them until the end, indicating a desire for a long-lasting and meaningful connection. They question if they hold the same level of importance in the other person's thoughts and emotions, or if their presence is driven by fear rather than genuine feelings.


The third paragraph reflects the singer's understanding and empathy towards the other person's struggle to make a choice.
