Don't Leave Me
Natalie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You love me forever and a day
But I'm gonna die at 27 anyway
Kept it together for just me
But I came untethered
How could you be proud of me?
And you said
Don't keep saying that out loud
I'll scream until I drown you out
And you're gonna hate me
Don't want you to hate me
Don't make me
(Oh, oh)
Don't make me
(Oh, oh)
Don't make me
(Oh, oh)
Don't make me
Leave you baby
Please don't make me
I've got a few years left in me
If I don't stop going full throttle every week
(Dude you gotta stop, seriously)
I might take what's left of you
Cause I know I bite off more than I can chew
And you said
Don't keep saying that out loud
I'll scream until I drown you out
And you're gonna hate me
Don't want you to hate me
Don't make me
(Oh, oh)
Don't make me
(Oh, oh)
Don't make me
(Oh, oh)
Don't make me
Leave you baby
Please don't make me
(Oh, oh)
Don't make me
(Oh, oh)
Don't make me
(Oh, oh)
Don't make me
Leave you baby
Please don't make me
(Oh, oh, oh)
You're sad and I'm manic
(Oh, oh, oh)
Too good to have planned it
(Oh, oh, oh)
Held me in your hand I bit it
I just panicked
(Oh, oh, oh)
Baby I'm so nauseous
(Oh, oh, oh)
My wounds smell like sadness
(Oh, oh, oh)
Hunched over the drain with the bile
Might be here awhile
(Oh, oh)
Don't make me
(Oh, oh)
Don't make me
(Oh, oh)
Don't make me
Leave you baby
Please don't make me
(Oh, oh)
Don't make me
(Oh, oh)
Don't make me
(Oh, oh)
Don't make me
Leave you baby
Please don't make me
(Oh, oh, oh)
You're sad and I'm manic
(Oh, oh, oh)
Too good to have planned it
(Oh, oh, oh)
Held me in your hand I bit it
I just panicked
(Oh, oh, oh)
Baby I'm so nauseous
(Oh, oh, oh)
My wounds smell like sadness
(Oh, oh, oh)




Hunched over the drain with the bile
Might be here awhile

Overall Meaning

The song "Don't Leave Me" by Natalie is a heart-wrenching ballad in which the singer expresses her fear of losing her lover. She still wants to be with him, as she promised, but she senses that something is wrong in their relationship. She asks if he feels the same, but he remains silent, leaving her with the knowledge that he no longer loves her.


The lyrics refer to the common struggle of trying to hold onto a relationship that has lost its spark. Natalie reminisces about their past and remembers when her lover promised he would never change. However, now she says that after they make up, they no longer feel the same, and something is off. She feels an immense amount of pain from this situation and wonders if they should slow things down and try to make it work— but ultimately, she knows she can't take it anymore.

A Guide for The Broken Hearted:
Don't call them
Block them
Don't overdo tiktok
Throw away their clothes and their credit card
Maintain a healthy balanced diet
Be social
Stay off social media
Get out of bed
Listen to your head not your heart
Don't drink and dial
Do regular exercise
Don't DM Natalie
Acknowledge your pain

It's been twenty four hours, coulda bought me flowers
You know I ain't been happy (nuh-uh), maybe call me in an hour
Do you wish that it was her though singin' songs in the shower?
Baby, no, I can't help it (nuh-uh), what you showed me about her

While you steppin' to him I can see
When you know he belongs to me
You know I'm missin' the sunrise behind his eyes
He is thinkin' of you

Oh, no, there she goes
To take away my man
I'm beggin' her not him
Don't, don't, don't do it, no, no
Don't do it, Natalie, don't, don't

Oh, no, there she goes
To take him from my hands
I'm beggin' her not him
Don't, don't, don't do it, no, no
Don't do it, Natalie, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't

He saw it, saw her walkin' like a model
But I won't let it depress me
So I bought another bottle
When you bend over like that
Can't you see my sorrow?
When you bend over like that
You know his eyes gon' follow, oh

While you starin' at him I can see
When you know he belongs to me
You know I'm missin' the sunrise behind his eyes
He is thinkin' of you

Oh, no, there she goes
To take away my man
I'm beggin' her not him
Don't, don't, don't do it, no, no
Don't do it, Natalie, don't, don't

Oh, no, there she goes
To take him from my hands
I'm beggin' her not him
Don't, don't, don't do it, no, no
Don't do it, Natalie, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't

I'm still awake at six in the morning
Oh, I know you callin', Natalie
Please feel bad, don't text back
Leave my man like Dolly
Beg Jolene just 'cause you can don't take him please (please, please)

Oh, no, there she goes
To take away my man
I'm beggin' her not him
Don't, don't, don't do it, no, no
Don't do it, Natalie, don't, don't

Oh, no, there she goes
To take him from my hands
I'm beggin' her not him
Don't, don't, don't do it, no, no
Don't do it, Natalie, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't do it

Don't, don't, don't, don't do it, no, no (please don't)
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't do it
