Jai Waetford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah
Baby please stay near
Don't know how I'd live without you here
It feels like I'm drowning I've got no air
Life is nothing without you here
Don't leave me now
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
You built me up then
You break me down
You could break my heart
Without a sound
You've got the softest touch
And no deceit
And no money or car could change
What you mean to me
Cause I'm falling in love with you
And I just can't help myself
Cause I'm falling in love with you
And I just can't help myselfffff
So please don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Ohhhh
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Ohhhh
Don't let me go
Jai Waetford's song "Don't Let Me Go" talks about the fear of losing someone who is important in one's life. From the opening lines of the song, Jai pleads with his lover to stay near, because he cannot imagine living without them. He describes the feeling of drowning and suffocation, emphasizing that his life would be nothing without his lover. The chorus, which repeats the phrase "Don't let me go," intensifies the plea for his lover to stay and not abandon him.
In the second verse, Jai acknowledges that his lover has the potential to hurt him, but this does not change how he feels about them. He describes how his lover has a soft touch and is honest, adding that money and material possessions cannot change the importance of the relationship. Jai is aware that he is falling in love with this person and cannot control his emotions - this realization leads to the repetition of the final chorus.
