Colton T Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thats the moment our love died
Falling out of your eyes
Cant keep up
With your time
Put my finger on the trigger watch it die
Wearing away all this time
The thought of you on my skin
I cant forget though i wish
I was baptized in your love
cs time goes by
I'll have a spotless mind
Keeping me low trynna swing back home
Thought this was love maybe just fools gold
But now I try to let my thoughts subside
Put them down quick put them in a ditch
Now i need to hope that she don't hear it
Please dont leave x6
cll your love that i don't deserve
Can't trade the lies I think you might have heard
I need you now but not tonight
Baby please I'll never treat you right
In the song "Don't Leave" by Colton T, the lyrics depict a relationship that has come to an end. The opening lines, "Honeyed lips sweet as wine, That's the moment our love died, Falling out of your eyes," suggest that the love that once existed between the two individuals has faded away. The reference to "honeyed lips sweet as wine" represents the initial attraction and passion in the relationship, but now it has dissolved.
The next lines, "Can't keep up, With your time, Put my finger on the trigger watch it die, Wearing away all this time," convey the struggle to keep up with the other person's expectations and demands. The phrase "put my finger on the trigger watch it die" symbolizes the realization that the relationship is crumbling and the effort to salvage it is futile. The expression "wearing away all this time" implies that the passing of time has gradually eroded the connection between the two individuals.
The following verse expresses the lingering thoughts and memories of the past love, saying, "The thought of you on my skin, I can't forget though I wish, I was baptized in your love." Despite wanting to move on, the singer finds it difficult to let go and wishes for a deeper connection with the other person, symbolized by the desire to be "baptized in your love."
The chorus reflects the singer's struggle to let go and move forward, as they attempt to suppress their thoughts and emotions. The lines "As time goes by, I'll have a spotless mind, Keeping me low tryin' to swing back home, Thought this was love maybe just fools gold" suggest a desire for clarity and healing, acknowledging that the love they once had may have been an illusion or deception.
The final verse reveals the singer's desperation to hold onto the relationship, despite feeling unworthy and acknowledging past lies. They express the need for the other person, but acknowledge that they cannot provide the love and treatment they deserve, saying, "I need you now but not tonight, Baby please I'll never treat you right." This line serves as a plea for forgiveness, as they recognize their shortcomings but still crave the presence and love of their former partner.
Overall, the lyrics of "Don't Leave" delve into the complexities of a failed relationship, capturing the emotions of loss, longing, and regret. The singer struggles with letting go of the past and hopes for a chance to reconcile while acknowledging their own faults and understanding that the love they shared might not have been genuine.

Honeyed lips sweet as wine
Your words were enticing and charming
Thats the moment our love died
That was the turning point when our relationship ended
Falling out of your eyes
I could see the loss of love in your eyes
Cant keep up
I can't match your pace
With your time
With your busy schedule
Put my finger on the trigger watch it die
I took control and witnessed the destruction
Wearing away all this time
Passing moments have eroded our connection
The thought of you on my skin
The memory of your touch lingers
I cant forget though i wish
I can't erase the memories, even though I want to
I was baptized in your love
I was deeply immersed in your love
cs time goes by
As time passes
I'll have a spotless mind
I'll eventually have a clear and untroubled mind
Keeping me low trynna swing back home
Feeling down, trying to find my way back to where I belong
Thought this was love maybe just fools gold
I believed this was love, but it may have been an illusion
But now I try to let my thoughts subside
Now I attempt to calm my racing thoughts
Put them down quick put them in a ditch
I forcefully dismiss and bury those thoughts
Now i need to hope that she don't hear it
Now I must pray that she doesn't catch wind of my inner turmoil
Please dont leave x6
I beg you not to abandon our relationship
cll your love that i don't deserve
I acknowledge that I am unworthy of your love
Can't trade the lies I think you might have heard
I can't exchange the falsehoods that may have reached your ears
I need you now but not tonight
I crave your presence, but not just for tonight
Baby please I'll never treat you right
Darling, I promise I'll never truly make you happy
