Don't leave
MØ Snakehips Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now and then, I'm a mess
Please don't hold that against me
I'm a girl with a temper and heat
I know I can be crazy
But I'm not just a fuck-up, I'm the fuck-up you need
I don't hear nobody when you focus on me
Tell me you see
'Cause I know that you've been thinking 'bout it
Don't leave
Shut your mind off and let your heart breathe
You don't need to be worried
I may not ever get my shit together
But ain't nobody gonna love you better
Don't go
What we have here is irreplaceable
No, I won't trade this for nothing
I may not ever get my shit together
But ain't nobody gonna love you better than me, yeah
Love you better than me
In a room full of people with you
I don't see anybody else, no
When we fight, and you're right
So sorry, I make it just so difficult
But I'm not just a fuck-up, I'm the fuck-up you love
We ain't like nobody else, tell me so what
Perfectly imperfect, yeah, baby, that's us
Baby, that's us
'Cause I know that you've been thinking 'bout it
Don't leave
Shut your mind off and let your heart breathe
You don't need to be worried
I may not ever get my shit together
But ain't nobody gonna love you better
Don't go
What we have here is irreplaceable
No, I won't trade this for nothing
I may not ever get my shit together
But ain't nobody gonna love you better
Sitting in the living room
You look at me, I stare at you
I see the doubt, I see the love
I have and it is all for you
Let me wrap myself around you, baby
Let me tell you you are everything, you are
Losing my words, I don't know where to start
But baby, don't leave me
Shut your mind off and let your heart hear me
I won't trade this for nothing
I may not ever get my shit together
But ain't nobody gonna love you better
Don't leave
Shut your mind off and let your heart breathe
You don't need to be worried
I may not ever get my shit together
But ain't nobody gonna love you better
(There ain't nobody gonna love you better than me)
Don't go
What we have here is irreplaceable
No, I won't trade this for nothing
I may not ever get my shit together
But ain't nobody gonna love you better than me, yeah
Love you better than me
The lyrics to Snakehips and MØ's "Don't Leave" describe a woman who has flaws and imperfections, but wants her partner to accept her for who she is. She acknowledges her temper and admits to being a mess from time to time, but wants her partner to see her as perfectly imperfect. She believes that no one else will love her partner better than she will, despite her flaws. The chorus is a plea for her partner not to leave her and to let their love prevail, even if she never gets her life together.
The second verse describes the deep connection between the couple. Despite being surrounded by other people, the singer only sees their partner. When they fight, she admits to making things difficult but also recognizes that they are unique and unlike anyone else. She reiterates that they are perfectly imperfect together and that she is the type of fuck-up that her partner needs.
The bridge is a moment of vulnerability as the couple sits in a room together. The singer acknowledges the doubt that her partner may have but reassures them that her love is genuine and all-encompassing.
Overall, the song explores the theme of unconditional love, even in the face of imperfections and flaws. The singer recognizes her weaknesses but hopes that her partner will see past them and love her for who she is.
