Little Green Cars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You cut both your knees when you tried to runaway
Please don't go, I wont hurt you I swear
I'll just hold your hand, thats all I wanted anyway
You made up in the darkest way
You sell all your things to afford a holiday
Please don't fight, I won't touch you no more
Please believe my lies
At least I know you gave it your best try
He took me to the woods today
I had made a little house where the two of us could stay
You won't come because you never seem to care
So I'll just go on my own and I'll pretend that you are there
Please believe my lies
At least I know you gave it your best try
Please believe my lies
At least I know you gave it your best try
Please believe my lies
At least I know you gave it your best try
Please believe my lies
At least I know you gave it your best try
The lyrics of "Please" by Little Green Cars are haunting and enigmatic. The song seems to be about a troubled relationship in which one person is trying to hold on to the other while the other is trying to escape. The first lines suggest that the singer woke up in the dark and found that their partner had tried to run away but hurt themselves in the process. The singer reassures them that they won't hurt them and all they wanted was to hold their hand.
The second verse suggests that there has been some kind of betrayal or deception, as the partner has sold all their things to afford a holiday. The singer pleads with them not to fight and says that they will just sit apart and mark the time. The chorus repeats the line "Please believe my lies, at least I know you gave it your best try." This could be interpreted as the singer trying to convince their partner to stay even though they know it's futile.
The final verse is perhaps the most mysterious, as the singer talks about being taken to the woods and building a little house for them to stay in. But the partner won't come, so the singer pretends that they are there. The repetition of the chorus and the haunting melody create a sense of desperation and sadness, as if the singer knows that the relationship is doomed but can't let go.

I woke up in the dark today
I woke up feeling lost and hopeless
You cut both your knees when you tried to runaway
You were hurt trying to escape from something
Please don't go, I wont hurt you I swear
Please stay with me, I promise I won't hurt you
I'll just hold your hand, thats all I wanted anyway
All I want is to be close to you and hold your hand
You made up in the darkest way
You coped with your troubles in a negative way
You sell all your things to afford a holiday
You sacrifice your belongings for a getaway
Please don't fight, I won't touch you no more
Please don't argue, I won't harm you anymore
We'll just sit far apart and mark the clock thats on the wall(?)
We will sit separately and pass time
Please believe my lies
Please trust the false things I say
At least I know you gave it your best try
Even if you failed, you put effort into it
He took me to the woods today
He led me somewhere isolated
I had made a little house where the two of us could stay
I imagined building a home for us here
You won't come because you never seem to care
You won't join because you don't show concern
So I'll just go on my own and I'll pretend that you are there
I'll go alone and envision you being present with me
Please believe my lies
Please trust the false things I say
At least I know you gave it your best try
Even if you failed, you put effort into it
Please believe my lies
Please trust the false things I say
At least I know you gave it your best try
Even if you failed, you put effort into it
