Leave You Alone
Kris Allen Lyrics

I've never been the one
Admitting to the listener that he lacks the experience necessary for saying the right words in certain situations.

For saying the right thing
Acknowledging that he is not very articulate and may not express himself as effectively as he desires.

And I messed up again
Telling the listener that he has made a mistake again, even though he did not intend to do so.

Broke your heart
Informing the listener that his actions have hurt someone he cares about deeply.

Without even trying
Indicating that he did not have bad intentions but still managed to cause harm.

And I blamed it on you
Acknowledging that he tried to shift the blame on the other person in the situation.

But there is no evidence for my case
Realizing that he cannot support his case, and acknowledging his wrongdoing.

And I know the truth
Realizing that he is genuinely at fault and taking responsibility.

But I still can't point the blame in my face
Admitting that it is difficult to face this mistake and take full responsibility.

So I'll grab my coat
Preparing to leave, signaling his intention to give the other person space to process emotions.

And see you tomorrow
Assuring the person that he will return to try and make amends.

Tell you what I'm gonna do to make it up to you tonight
Offering assurance that he will find a way to resolve the situation tonight and make things right.

I'm gonna leave you alone
Acknowledging that he may be causing more harm than good by remaining present.

Leave you alone
Reiterating his intention to allow the other person space and time to process their emotions and feelings.

'Cause I don't know any other way to try to make it right
Admitting that he does not have all the answers and may not know the best way to fix the situation.

You probably know
Acknowledging that the other person is likely already aware of his missteps and does not require further explanation.

That you did nothing this time
Reiterating that the other person did not cause harm in this particular situation.

But I made it known
Acknowledging that he expressed his frustration and anger despite it not being necessary.

That I'm not gonna give up being right
Admitting to being stubborn and desiring to be correct rather than admitting fault.

Leave you alone tonight
Reiterating that he will give the other person space and avoid further damage.

And leaving this road is the last thing I want
Indicating that he does not wish to leave the relationship and desires to repair the situation.

But I tried all I could and said what I should
Acknowledging that he gave the situation his best effort and said the appropriate things.

But I can't stand to fight so I'll leave you alone tonight
Recognizing that he does not wish to continue arguing or causing harm and needs to leave the other person alone for the night.
