Leave Her Alone
Dylan Scott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I didn't come here looking for nothin'
Then a pretty little thing sat down
Said she's tryna get over something
Lookin' like she's tryna get over it now
So I ordered one, she ordered two
She opened up and started talking 'bout you
She started falling but you're blowing up her phone
Mmm, now it's looking like ya wish ya didn't leave her alone

Here in this bar, gave her the runaround, then broke her heart
Told her all the things that you didn't mean
Every time you came back home, you'd leave
Yeah, you left her alone just to be found
By a guy like me buying rounds
Spin her 'round the dance floor
For a couple more, then take her home
It's my turn to love her
So leave her alone, leave her alone

No, I didn't try hard, I didn't have to
Hell, you did half the work for me
And I know you're all hung up on the fact you
Could never give her what she needs
Now she's on my lips, she's on your mind
I'm in her house and you're driving by
Wondering 'bout the shadows on the wall with the lights on
This is my song, it's lookin' like ya wish ya didn't leave her alone

Here in this bar, gave her the runaround, then broke her heart
Told her all the things that you didn't mean
Every time you came back home, you'd leave
Yeah, you left her alone just to be found
By a guy like me buying rounds
Spin her 'round the dance floor
For a couple more, then take her home
It's my turn to love her
So leave her alone, leave her alone

I could never go and leave her alone like ya did to her
Take it as a loss for what it's worth
Put a diamond on it in due time
You should let it burn, that's a lesson learned that if ya
Leave it alone, ya gotta leave it for good
I swear I'll love her like you never could
And you let her go, so don't look back
Hell, I ain't even mad that ya left her alone

Here in this bar, gave her the runaround, then broke her heart
Told her all the things that you didn't mean
Every time you came back home, you'd leave
Yeah, you left her alone just to be found
By a guy like me buying rounds
Spin her 'round the dance floor
For a couple more then take her home
It's my turn to love her
So leave her alone
Go on and leave her alone





Mmm, now it's looking like you wish you didn't leave her alone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dylan Scott's song "Leave Her Alone" tell a story of a man who didn't come to a bar looking for anything, but then a woman who is trying to get over someone sits down next to him. They start talking, and she opens up about her past relationship and how the person she was with constantly blew up her phone. The singer of the song suggests that now, the person who left her alone is regretting their decision. They express that they didn't have to try hard because the other person already did half the work for them. The singer ends up with the woman, and it's clear that the previous person's actions have caused pain and heartbreak. They assert that it is now their turn to love her and tell the other person to leave her alone, indicating that they will be the one to provide the love and care she deserves.


The song reflects the idea that sometimes people who mistreat others and take them for granted will eventually face the consequences of their actions. Here, the singer is the one who benefits from the previous person's mistakes, and they are determined to treat the woman with the love and respect she deserves. The lyrics also highlight the theme of second chances and how sometimes, someone else can come along and give the love that was lacking in a previous relationship.

She started talking about you and sharing her feelings


She started falling but you're blowing up her phone

Mmm, now it's looking like ya wish ya didn't leave her alone
Hmm, now it seems like you regret leaving her by herself


Here in this bar, gave her the runaround, then broke her heart
Here in this bar, you misled her, played games with her, and ultimately hurt her emotionally


Told her all the things that you didn't mean

Spin her 'round the dance floor
Dance with her around the dance floor

For a little while longer, then escort her home


It's my turn to love her
Now it's my opportunity to love her


So leave her alone, leave her alone
So, stay away from her, give her space


No, I didn't try hard, I didn't have to
No, I didn't make a lot of effort, I didn't need to


Hell, you did half the work for me
In fact, you did half of the work for me


And I know you're all hung up on the fact you
And I know you're still fixated on the fact that you


Could never give her what she needs
Could never provide her with what she truly needs


Now she's on my lips, she's on your mind
Now she's the person I'm thinking and talking about, and she's on your mind too


I'm in her house and you're driving by
I'm in her house spending time with her, while you're just passing by in your car


Wondering 'bout the shadows on the wall with the lights on
Pondering about the shadows on the wall when the lights are on


This is my song, it's lookin' like ya wish ya didn't leave her alone
This is my moment, it seems like you regret leaving her alone


I could never go and leave her alone like ya did to her
I could never go and abandon her like you did


Take it as a loss for what it's worth
Accept it as a loss for its value


Put a diamond on it in due time
Give it time and it will become even better


You should let it burn, that's a lesson learned that if ya
You should let it fade away, that's a valuable lesson that if you


Leave it alone, ya gotta leave it for good
Leave it alone, you have to abandon it completely


I swear I'll love her like you never could
I promise I will love her in a way that you never could


And you let her go, so don't look back
And you let her leave, so don't dwell on the past


Hell, I ain't even mad that ya left her alone
In fact, I'm not even angry that you left her by herself


Go on and leave her alone
Go ahead and stay away from her


Mmm, now it's looking like you wish you didn't leave her alone
Hmm, now it seems like you regret leaving her by herself
