Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I didn't wanna leave you like that
It's five in the morning, yeah, yeah
A hundred on the dash
'Cause my wheels are rolling
Ain't taking my foot off the gas
And it only took the one night
To see the end of the line
Dancing on the edge, 'bout to take it too far
It's messing with my head, how I mess with your heart
If you wake up in your bed, alone in the dark
I'm sorry, gotta leave before you love me
Ay, ay, leave before you love me
Ay, ay, leave before you love me
Ay, ay, leave before you love me
Ay, ay, leave before you love me
I'm so good at knowing
Of when to leave the party behind
Don't care if they notice, yeah, yeah, no
I'll just catch a ride
I'd rather be lonely, yeah
Than wrapped around your body too tight
Yeah, I'm the type to get naked
Won't give my heart up for breaking
'Cause I'm too gone to be staying, staying
(Dancing on) dancing on the edge, 'bout to take it too far
It's messing with my head, how I mess with your heart
If you wake up in your bed, alone in the dark
I'm sorry, gotta leave before you love me
Ay, ay, leave before you love me
Ay, ay, leave before you love me

Marshmello's song, "Leave Before You Love Me" is a catchy tune about knowing when to move on from a relationship before getting too attached. The lyrics describe the situation where the singer realizes that the relationship is not going to work out, and decides to leave before they develop strong feelings for the other person. The chorus repeats the phrase "Leave Before You Love Me" as a reminder to both parties to walk away before it's too late. The lyrics explore the idea of being in control of your emotions and recognizing when a relationship is not worth pursuing further.
The lyrics also mention a sense of urgency, represented by the line "It's five in the morning, yeah, yeah". This suggests that the singer is making a quick exit, possibly after spending the night with the other person. There is a sense of danger in the lyrics, as the singer is "dancing on the edge, 'bout to take it too far". This creates an impression that the singer is pushing boundaries and testing their limits. However, there is also an awareness of the potential consequences of this behavior, as expressed in the line "It's messing with my head, how I messed with your heart".
Overall, "Leave Before You Love Me" is a song that captures common relationship themes such as excitement, uncertainty, and the importance of knowing when to let go. The lyrics express the idea of taking risks while being mindful of the need for self-preservation in relationships.

I'd love for them to do this as a duet with a female singer.. I wrote some lyrics to change up the second verse and chorus from the woman's perspective:
I'm no good at knowing
If I need to leave you behind
I can't pretend not to care, yeah, yeah, no
I'm just along for the ride
There's no need to be lonely
Just wrap around my body all night
I ain't the type to get naked
If I don't think that we'll make it
All you need to do is just stay here, stay here
I wake up in my bed
I'm alone in the dark
It's messing with my head
How I took it too far
I know that you are scared,
Yeah, I know this is hard
I'm sorry
I just need for you to love me
Can someone sing this and tag me? :)
