Don't Leave Me
DUI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was it something I said
That you read all wrong and that
I don't know why you follow me
After all of these times
When I left you so far behind
You don't seem to care
If I ever give back
You seem to be pleased
If you only show me
All of the love inside of you
I wish that I could love that way too
I don't know why you write me
But I never write back
But you answer me anyway
I don't know why you love me
But I'm learning to love
Not depending on love in return
You don't seem to care
If I ever give back
All of the love you've given me
You seem to be pleased
If you only show me
All of the love inside of you
I wish that I could love that way too
