Why Won't You Leave Me?
Home Grown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Screaming as you fall, I'm making this point clear but you're not listening.
Apologies are so unusual but it's the usual to make amends.
So why won't you leave me, I just want this to be over.
I need some time to think.
So why won't you leave me?
You're better off with him rather than me.
Understand me.
With your crying eyes, wipe off all your tears 'cause I'm not listening.
Apologies are so unusual but I am comfortable to not be friends.
So why did I abandon, ruin a foundation that we built?
Well I'm not committed to waiting and pleasing.
Make this clear.
So why won't you leave me?
You don't want this to be over.
I just need time to think.
So when will you leave me?
You're better off with him rather than me.
These lyrics reveal a complex relationship between the singer and the person they're addressing. The first verse shows that the person has tried to end things with the singer, but the singer is still standing and seems unwilling to let go. The singer is frustrated because they're trying to make a point, but the other person isn't listening. Apologies are difficult but necessary to make amends, yet the other person doesn't seem to want to leave, causing the singer to ask, "why won't you leave me, I just want this to be over."
