Please Don't Leave Me
P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How many time I've kicked you outta here?
Or said something insulting?
I can be so mean when I wanna be
I am capable of really anything
I can cut you into pieces
When my heart is, broken
Please don't leave me
I'm always saying how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please, don't leave me
How did I become so obnoxious?
What is it with you that makes me act like this?
I've never been this nasty
Can't you tell that this is all just a contest?
The one that wins will be the one that hits the hardest
But baby I don't mean it
I mean it, I promise
Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me
I'm always saying how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please, don't leave me
I forgot to say out loud how beautiful you really are to me
I can't be without, you're my perfect little punching bag
And I need you, I'm sorry.
Please, please don't leave me
Baby, please don't leave me
No, don't leave me
Please don't leave me
I'm always saying how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back,
It's gonna come right back to this.
Please, don't leave me.
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please don't leave me
Baby, please don't leave me
The lyrics to Pink's song "Please Don't Leave Me" depict the desperation of a person who may seem tough on the outside but is actually vulnerable and deeply in love. The opening lines suggest that the person has yelled and insulted their partner in the past, indicating a possibility of a rocky relationship. However, the person acknowledges their wrongdoings and confesses to being capable of anything, including hurting their partner.
The chorus "Please don't leave me" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the fear of the person losing their partner. They admit to being dependent on their partner and apologize for their behavior. The lines "I forgot to say out loud how beautiful you really are to me, I can't be without you, you're my perfect little punching bag" reveal the contradiction in their feelings, that they love and need their partner but have also used them as an emotional outlet.
The song captures the feeling of being helpless and afraid of losing the one you love, yet struggling to express your love in a healthy way. The person acknowledges their flaws and begs for forgiveness, hoping that their partner won't leave them.
Line by Line Meaning
I don't know if I can yell any louder
I feel like I've been shouting so much and can't get through to you
How many time I've kicked you outta here?
I've pushed you away so many times
Or said something insulting?
I've hurt you with my words before
I can be so mean when I wanna be
I have the capacity to be cruel
I am capable of really anything
I know I can do some really terrible things if I let myself
I can cut you into pieces
I know I can break you apart emotionally
When my heart is, broken
If I'm hurt, I may take it out on you
Please don't leave me
I know I've been difficult, but I don't want you to go
I'm always saying how I don't need you
I try to act like I'm independent, but I'm scared to be alone
But it's always gonna come right back to this
I can't deny that I need you in my life
How did I become so obnoxious?
I don't know why I act this way, it's not who I want to be
What is it with you that makes me act like this?
You trigger something in me that makes me behave badly
I've never been this nasty
I'm ashamed of how I've treated you
Can't you tell that this is all just a contest?
I don't really mean the hurtful things I say, I'm just trying to win the argument
The one that wins will be the one that hits the hardest
I've been trying to hurt you to feel like I'm winning, but I know it's wrong
But baby I don't mean it
I want you to know that I don't actually want to hurt you
I mean it, I promise
I'm serious about wanting to change and treat you better
I forgot to say out loud how beautiful you really are to me
I haven't told you enough how much I appreciate you and find you attractive
I can't be without, you're my perfect little punching bag
I rely on you too much to take out my frustrations
And I need you, I'm sorry.
I know I've hurt you, but I need you in my life and I'm sorry for my actions
Baby, please don't leave me
I'm begging you to forgive me and stay with me
No, don't leave me
I can't bear the thought of losing you

After my wife was diagnosed with cancer, she would sing this song to me when she thought I was asleep. Been just over seven years since she passed away. Still hard to listen to this song. But damn it if i don't love it.
Today is the 9th anniversary of my wife's passing. Thank all of you kind and loving people for all your well wishing and love for the last year.
All you interwebs strange have greatly improved my mental health and well being. Love to all who have read this and all that will.
Another year. Still getting love and feels from a bunch of strangers on the interwebs.
You are all awesome.
I am thankful for all the support and kindness from you all.
It's been a couple years now. Apparently I can no longer respond to everyone.
Thank you to everyone that keeps commenting and sending your love and inspiration.
You are all greatly appreciated
