I Don't Want You to Go
Kyla Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I am
Alone and I don't understand
Exactly how it all began
The dream just walked away

I'm holding on
When all but the passion's gone
And from the start
Maybe I was tryin' too hard
It's crazy coz it's breakin' my heart
Things can fall apart but I know,
That I don't want you to go

And heroes die,
When they ignore the cause inside
But they learn from what's left behind
And fight for something else

And so it goes
That we have both learned how to grow

And from the start
Maybe we were tryin' too hard
It's crazy coz it's breakin' our heart
Things can fall apart but I know,
That I don't want you to go

[Bridge]
Oh it's just too much
Takin' all the whole world all by myself
But it's not enough
Unless I stop trusting somebody else,
Somebody else
And love again

[Instrumental Interlude]

And from the start
Maybe we were tryin' too hard
It's crazy coz it's breakin' our hearts
Things can fall apart but I know,
That I don't want you to go, no
Maybe we were tryin' to hard
It's crazy coz it's breakin' our hearts
Things can fall apart but I know,




That I don't want you to go
Oh no, don't want you to go

Overall Meaning

Kyla's "I Don't Want You to Go" speaks about the pain of losing someone important and the struggle to keep them from leaving. The song starts with the singer being alone and confused, not sure where it all went wrong. She's holding on even though the passion is gone, hoping to somehow fix things. She acknowledges that maybe she and the other person had been trying too hard from the start, and now it's breaking their hearts. But despite everything, she doesn't want them to go.


The chorus is somewhat of a mantra for the singer - she repeats it several times throughout the song. She knows that things can fall apart, that heroes can die, but she doesn't want to lose the person she loves. The bridge introduces the idea that taking on the world alone is too much for her, and she needs to start trusting someone else to help her. She wants to love again.


Overall, the song is a raw, emotional plea for the person she cares about to stay with her through thick and thin. It's about the fear of losing them, the pain of seeing them go, and the hope that they will stay despite the trials.
