Please Don't Leave Me
Pink (wapos.ru) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know if I can yell any louder
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
[Chorus]
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

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

[Chorus]

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

Overall Meaning

The song "Please Don't Leave Me" by Pink is an emotional ballad that portrays the singer's anxiety and fear of being abandoned by her lover. The first verse describes how the singer can be cruel and say hurtful things, but it is only because she is hurt herself. She acknowledges that she is capable of doing anything, even physically harming her partner when she is heartbroken. The chorus emphasizes the singer's plea for her lover to stay, admitting that she always comes back to needing him despite her claims of independence.


In the second verse, the singer questions why she is acting so obnoxiously and mean towards her partner. She wonders if he can see that it is all just a competition to see who can hurt the other the most. However, she reassures him that even though she can be cruel, she does not actually mean the hurtful things she says. The song ends with a desperate plea for her lover not to leave, admitting that he is her perfect "punching bag" and that she cannot bear to live without him.

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

Its been over 12 years now that my wife passed away. Going on over five years since I made the OG post about her singing this song to me and I'm still getting love and positive thoughts from a bunch of wonderful people. Everyone that has posted and taken time out of their days to make me smile and lighten up my day has been awesome and everyone that reads this and thinks of me, you are amazing.
