Don't Go Away
Ira Veles Radiobuny and friends Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Go away; can't you see I'm cryin'?
Go back to the new love that you've found.
Don't sweet talk me, 'cause I ain't listenin',
And you'll only make things worse by hangin' round.

I know that I'd be crazy,
If I took you back again.
But this foolish heart of mine,
Might just weaken and give in.
So go away,
I feel much better when you're gone.
For you're the one who made me cry.
Now let me cry alone.

I know that I'd be crazy,
If I took you back again.
But this foolish heart of mine,
Might just weaken and give in.
So go away,
I feel much better when you're gone.




For you're the one who made me cry.
Now let me cry alone.

#Intro : Em  D  C  Am (2x)

         Em
A Cold and frosty morning
Pagi yang dingin dan berembun beku
                D
there's not a lot to say
tak banyak yang bisa dikatakan
                    C                              Am
About the things caught in my mind
Tentang hal-hal yang terlintas di benakku
Em
As the day was dawning
Dan saat mentari mulai menyingsing
           D
my plane flew away
pesawatku terbang  jauh
                       C                             Am
With all the things caught in my mind
Dengan segala hal yang terlintas di benakku

Am
And I don't wanna be there when you're...
Aku tak ingin menyaksikan saat 
C
Coming down
kau jatuh
Am                                                C           D
And I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground
Aku tak ingin menyaksikan saat kau menubruk bumi

#Chorus :
                          G                       D/F#
So don't go away say what you say
Maka janganlah pergi, katakan saja yang ingin kau katakan
                              Em
But say that you'll stay
Tapi katakanlah bahwa kau kan di sini
                         D
Forever and a day...
terus dan selamanya
                             C
in the time of my life
Seumur hidupku
                             D
Cos I need more time yes I need more time
karena aku butuh lebih banyak waktu, yes, aku butuh lebih banyak waktu 
Em             D                C
Just to make things right
untuk bereskan semuanya


Em
Damn my situation
Persetan dengan situasiku 
                     D
and the games I have to play
dan permainan yang harus kumainkan
                           C                          Am
With all the things caught in my mind
Dengan segala hal yang terlintas di benakku
Em
Damn my education
Persetan dengan pendidikanku
                 D
I can't find the words to say
tak bisa kutemukan kata-kata tuk kuucapkan
                           C                            Am
About all the things caught in my mind
Tentang hal-hal yang terlintas di benakku

Am
And I don't wanna be there when you're...
Aku tak ingin menyaksikan saat kau 
C
Coming down
jatuh
Am                                                C           D
And I wanna be there when you hit the ground
Aku tak ingin menyaksikan saat kau menubruk bumi

#Chorus :
                          G                       D/F#
So don't go away say what you say
Maka janganlah pergi, katakan saja yang ingin kau katakan
                              Em
But say that you'll stay
Tapi katakanlah bahwa kau kan di sini
                         D
Forever and a day...
terus dan selamanya
                             C
in the time of my life
Seumur hidupku
                             D
Cos I need more time yes I need more time
karena aku butuh lebih banyak waktu, yes, aku butuh lebih banyak waktu

Cold and frosty morning
There's not a lot to say
About the things caught in my mind
And as the day was dawning
My plane flew away
With all the things caught in my mind
I don't wanna be there when you're...
Coming down
I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground
So don't go away
Say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day...
In the time of my life
'Cause I need more time, yes I need more time
Just to make things right
Damn my situation
And the games I have to play
With all the things caught in my mind
Damn my education
I can't find the words to say
With all the things caught in my mind
Me and you, what's going on?
All we seem to know is how to show
The feelings that are wrong

A cold and frosty morning there's not a lot to say
About the things caught in my mind
And as the day was dawning my plane flew away
With all the things caught in my mind

And I wanna be there when you're... coming down
And I wanna be there when you hit the ground

So don't go away
Say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and today
In the time of my life
'Cause I need more time
Yes, I need more time
Just to make things right

Damn, my situation, and the games I have to play
With all the things caught in my mind
Damn, my education, I can't find the words to say
With all the things caught in my mind

And I wanna be there when you're... coming down
And I do wanna be there when you hit the ground

So don't go away
Say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and today
In the time of my life
'Cause I need more time
Yes, I need more time
Just to make things right

Me and you, what's going on?
All we seem to know is how to show

So don't go away
Say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and today
In the time of my life
'Cause I need more time
Yes, I need more time
Just to make things right

The most underrated Oasis tune. One of the best songs Noel has ever written.

@mechanicalarms1648

Definitely a brilliant song 🤝💯

@norwegian4320

this song is not underestimated, it is very recognized.

@Blindswordsman1994

@@norwegian4320 unless you’re an Oasis fan, you would most likely not know this song (unlike Wonderwall and Don’t Look Back In Anger)

@romanrodriguez5100

@@norwegian4320 I think it’s not. Noel actually said that on an interview. He had the song written before WTSMR came out so he actually thought to include it on the CD.
He said that if he would have done that the tune could have been ten times more “successful”.
It is a great song, but a lot of the people didn’t appreciate it that much at the time.

@travisthornton1792

One of my favorites too but Noel kinda co-wrote it without giving credit to the Real People. See their song “Feel the Pain” around the ~1:30 mark. https://youtu.be/YH1FBmWL0V8
