Leave Me Alone
Ellie Bleach Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No one likes a bad winner, baby
And it's clear you've won
Tryna keep it together
But you know I haven't moved on
Thank god being sad is cool
'Cause I've spent more time in my room crying
Then I ever spent with you
What's a girl to do

'Cause you had me crying in the kitchen
Annoying all my friends
And you had me watching Casablanca
And we all know how that ends
And the worst part's almost over
I'm almost moving on
But don't ask me how I'm doing
Come on
Why don't you leave me alone
Leave me alone
(Why don't you leave me alone)
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
('Cause girl I don't wanna know)

I'm not usually like this, baby
Don't get the wrong idea
But why should I have to be polite to a guy that's
Ignored me all year
Modern live is so cruel
I can't even check my phone without
Finding pictures of you
What's a girl to do

'Cause you had me crying in the kitchen
Annoying all my friends
And you had me watching Casablanca
And we all know how that ends
And the worst part's almost over
Yeah, I'm almost moving on
But don't ask me how I'm doing
Come on

Why don't you leave me alone
Leave me alone
(Why don't you leave me alone)
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
('Cause girl I don't wanna know)

(So you wanna be friend)
So you wanna be friend
(Well I already got friends)
Well I already got friends
(So you wanna say friends)
So you wanna say friends




(Well I already got friends)
Well I already got friends

Overall Meaning

In Ellie Bleach's song "Leave Me Alone," the singer expresses frustration towards an ex-lover who has moved on from their relationship faster than she has. Bleach remarks that no one likes a bad winner, yet it is clear that he has won, causing her to struggle in keeping herself composed. She admits to still being sad but acknowledges that, luckily, it's become "cool" to be sad. Bleach expresses that she has spent more time crying in her room than she ever did with her ex-lover. She questions what she should do in this situation, feeling stuck in the past and unable to move on.


Bleach relates instances where her ex-lover's actions have caused her pain, such as crying in the kitchen and annoying all her friends. He had her watching Casablanca, a classic romantic movie with a sad ending, which parallels her own relationship with him. However, the worst part is almost over, and she is almost moving on. Despite this, Bleach doesn't want her ex-lover to ask her how she is doing and pleads for him to leave her alone.


In the second verse, Bleach notes that she is not usually this bitter or angry towards anyone, but she refuses to be polite to someone who has ignored her all year. She finds modern life cruel since she can't even check her phone without seeing pictures of her ex-lover. Bleach again questions what she should do in this situation, feeling helpless and lost.


Overall, "Leave Me Alone" is a relatable song for anyone who has struggled with moving on from a past relationship. It highlights how painful it can be when one person moves on quickly while the other is left behind, feeling stuck and unable to move on.


Line by Line Meaning

No one likes a bad winner, baby
You may have won, but your attitude is unappealing and unattractive.


And it's clear you've won
It's obvious that you've come out on top in this situation, but that doesn't give you the right to gloat or mistreat others.


Tryna keep it together
I'm struggling to maintain my composure and act like everything is okay, even though I'm really hurting.


But you know I haven't moved on
Despite my efforts, I'm still not over you and the situation that occurred between us.


Thank god being sad is cool
Although it's not ideal, at least there seems to be a cultural acceptance of being sad and going through a tough time.


'Cause I've spent more time in my room crying
I've been so devastated that I've spent a significant amount of time alone in my room, crying and trying to process my emotions.


Then I ever spent with you
It's ironic that I'm spending more time crying by myself than I did actually spending time with you.


What's a girl to do
I don't know how to handle this situation and the pain that I'm feeling. I'm struggling to find a way to move on.


'Cause you had me crying in the kitchen
You caused me so much emotional distress that I was reduced to tears even while cooking or being around my friends.


Annoying all my friends
My friends were likely tired of hearing about my woes and constantly trying to pep me up and make me feel better.


And you had me watching Casablanca
You convinced me to watch a movie that ultimately made me even more emotional and heartbroken.


And we all know how that ends
The ending of Casablanca is well-known for being bittersweet and heartbreaking - a fitting parallel to my own situation.


And the worst part's almost over
Although it's been a long and difficult journey, I'm finally starting to see light at the end of the tunnel and achieve some closure.


I'm almost moving on
I'm not quite there yet, but I'm making progress and coming to terms with what happened between us.


But don't ask me how I'm doing
I'm not ready to discuss my emotions or my progress with you. It's too painful and too personal.


Come on
Please respect my boundaries and don't push me to talk or engage in this anymore.


Why don't you leave me alone
I need space and distance from you in order to fully heal and move on from what happened between us.


I don't wanna know
I don't want to hear about what you're doing or how you're doing. I need to focus on myself and my own recovery.


('Cause girl I don't wanna know)
I'm not trying to be rude or cruel, but I simply can't handle any more emotional pain or turmoil at this point.


(So you wanna be friend)
You're trying to suggest that we can still be friends, even after everything that's happened between us.


(Well I already got friends)
I don't need you to be my friend - I have plenty of people in my life who care about me and support me.


(So you wanna say friends)
You're still trying to push the idea of friendship between us, even though it may not be what's best for me or my emotional well-being.


(Well I already got friends)
Once again, I don't need you to be my friend. I have plenty of other people in my life who I care about and enjoy spending time with.

Lyrics
No one likes it bad winner baby
And it's clear you've won

Trying to keep it together but you know I haven't moved on

Thank God being sad is cool
cuz I've spent more time in my room crying than I did ever spent with you
What's a girl to do?

Cuz you had me crying in the kitchen, annoying all my friends
And you had me watching Casablanca and we all know how that ends.

And the worse part is almost over, I'm almost moving on but don't ask me how I'm doing

Come on, why don't you leave me alone
Leave me alone
Why don't you leave me alone

I don't want to know (x2)
Cuz god I don't want to know

I'm not usually like this baby
Don't get the wrong idea

But why should I have to be polite to a guy that's ignored me all year

Modern life is so cruel
I can't even check my phone without finding pictures of you
What's a girl to do?

Cuz you had me crying in the kitchen annoying all my friends and you had me watching Casablanca and we all know how that ends and the worst part is almost over, yeah I'm almost moving on

But don't ask me how I'm doing
Come on, Why don't you leave me alone?

Leave me alone
Why don't you leave me alone
I don't want to know (x2)
(Cuz god I don't want to know)

So you wanna be friends
(Oh you wanna be friends)

I've already got friends (x3)

So you wanna stay friends?
I already, already got friends
