Tie That Binds
Drake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Kill me slowly with those piercin' eyes
Don't break my fall
An inferno starts forming inside
Every time
I know you're here
I've never felt so alive (ooh, ooh-ooh)
Slowly you're pullin' me 'cross the line
In no time, in no time

Ayy
Oh, baby, I'm feelin' all sort of things
I never wanna see you ever leave
Maybe I'll take you to my family
Change your name
Oh, baby

With no doubt I'll give you all my time
And walk the line
You bring out the best part of me, babe
Effortlessly, effortlessly
Hope you never dim the light (ooh, ooh-ooh)
Hold me close as you can 'til we're ghost
It's a promise, 'til we're ghost

Ayy
Oh, baby, I'm feelin' all sort of things
I never wanna see you ever leave
Maybe I'll take you to my family
Change your name
Oh, baby

Please, don't leave me
You know I need you, you know I need you, yeah
Please, don't leave me
You know I need you, you know I need you, yeah
Please, don't leave me
You know I need you, you know I need you, yeah
Please, don't leave me
You know I need you, you know I need you, yeah
Please, don't leave me
You know I need you, you know I need you, yeah
Please, don't leave me
You know I need you, you know I need you, yeah
Please, don't leave me
You know I need you, you know I need you, yeah




Please, don't leave me
You know I need you, you know I need you, yeah

Amen it's just smooth 🔥 & people sadly will always do this to Drake. From the moment Dylan plugged his guitar in at Newport and the folk fans turned on him , when a true artist wants to explore their soul and craft, the public has been naysayers. I adore anything Drake does and welcome his true artistry.
