Left Me Yet
Daya Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bad at sorrys, good at finding places
I don't belong, where I don't belong
You hold your tongue and light another blunt
When you know I'm wrong, when you know I'm wrong

I feel so lucky
When you say that you love me
'Cause I know I'm not worthy
Every time, you always forgive me
And you say that you miss me
Never hold it against me

I get mad, I hide things and say things I can't take back
I push you away, why do I do that?
Impatient, but you're patient with me
I'm surprised you haven't left me yet

Everybody's looking at you
But you're looking at me, don't know what you see
Keep me safe, you always stay awake
When I can't sleep, when I can't sleep

I feel so lucky
When you say that you love me
'Cause I know I'm not worthy
Every time, you always forgive me
And you say that you miss me
Never hold it against me

I get mad, I hide things and say things I can't take back
I push you away, why do I do that?
Impatient, but you're patient with me
I'm surprised you haven't left me yet
I get mad, I hide things and say things I can't take back
I push you away, why do I do that?
Impatient, but you're patient with me
I'm surprised you haven't left me yet

I get mad
I break things, mistake things, my temper's bad
But you're still here with me, why do you do that?
Impatient, but you're patient with me

I get mad (You know)
I hide things and say things I can't take back
I push you away, why do I do that?
Impatient, but you're patient with me
And I'm surprised you haven't left me yet
I get mad (I get mad)
I hide things and say things I can't take back
I push you away, why do I do that?




Impatient, but you're patient with me
And I'm surprised you haven't left me yet

Overall Meaning

The first verse of Daya's "Left Me Yet" delves into the damaging personal flaws that can affect relationships. The singer admits to being "bad at sorrys," indicating a difficulty in admitting fault and apologizing for past damage. Further, they acknowledge a tendency to seek the wrong places or situations that might undermine their partnership. Despite their partner's attempts to interject, the singer still continues on this path. The partner's coping mechanism, in turn, is to smoke a blunt without confronting them. The singer is aware of their error but is unable to steer the ship right.


Despite the singer's faults, their partner forgives them on every occasion. Every time the singer realizes that they are unworthy of love, their partner reaffirms with affection that they do indeed love them. The chorus indicates gratitude and appreciation for the partner's love, even though the singer recognizes they are not perfect. The bridge reiterates negative personal characteristics and asks a poignant question - why do they push their partner away? - and stands amazed at the partner's unconditional love and infinite patience.


Overall, the song captures the complexities and imperfections of relationships while highlighting the importance of forgiveness, understanding, and patience. This song stresses the importance of patience and communication in unusual relationships.

Bad at sorrys, good at finding places
I don't belong, where I don’t belong
You hold your tongue and light another blunt
When you know I'm wrong, when you know I'm wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel so lucky
When you say that you love me
’Cause I know I'm not worthy
Every time, you always forgive me

I push you away, why do I do that?
Impatient, but you're patient with me
I'm surprised you haven't left me yet

Everybody's looking at you
But you're looking at me, don’t know what you see

I remember when this song was new, which isn't a very long time ago, my favourite music channel on TV used to play it a lot. They still do to this day. They also played "Insomnia", which was also by her back in the day. Summer 2019 was awesome.
