Please Don't
Fair Marjorie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And what you are
To the one in front of you
You gave yourself to lean upon
But now you're gone
Please don't ever say
That you have seen that and you know
Who gave himself to lean upon
But now he's gone
Please don't be afraid of all you're made of
And what you
To the one in front of you
You gave yourself to lean upon
But now you're gone
The song "Please Don't" by Fair Marjorie seems to be about a person who relied on someone else for support but eventually lost them. The lyrics suggest that the person is struggling to accept themselves without the other person's influence and is scared of what they are made of. The first verse talks about how the person gave themselves to lean on the other but now they're gone. This could refer to a break-up or a loss of a friendship.
The second verse talks about how the person shouldn't pretend to know what the other person is going through because they're not there anymore. This could be a realization that they did not fully understand the other person's experience and took them for granted. The chorus repeats the message of not being afraid of who they are and what they possess as an individual.
