Don't Leave Me
Q. Parker (of 112) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’ll drink rose from the bottle til I feel like I can float
Float away from all my problems
And watch them pass me by
Stumbling down the street
How drunk am I
I’ve never been the kinda girl who likes to party
No I’m not the type to sip Coke and Bacardi
Netflix is my best friend and I’d really rather stay in
It’s easier if I don’t have to answer all your questions
Please don’t make me leave my couch
Maybe I’m a little lonely but I like it just fine
I’d rather hang out with Joey
And see my real friends another time
What to say & what to wear
It’s so much work to do my hair
In case you can’t tell
I don’t want to be there
I’ve never been the kinda girl who likes to party
No I’m not the type to sip Coke and Bacardi
Please don’t make me leave my house
Netflix is my best friend and I’d really rather stay in
It’s easier if I don’t have to answer all your questions
Please don’t make me leave my couch
I know I cancel every time you try to hang out
But please don’t make me leave my house
I’d rather be home on my couch
I just need some space to be alone
It’s not you it’s me
So please don’t make me leave my house
I’d rather be home on my couch
I’ve never been the kinda girl who likes to party
No I’m not the type to sip Coke and Bacardi
I’ve never been the kinda girl who likes to party
No I’m not the type to sip Coke and Bacardi
Please don’t make me leave my house
Netflix is my best friend and I’d really rather stay in
It’s easier if I don’t have to answer all your questions
Please don’t make me leave my couch
Please don’t make me leave my house
I’d rather be home on my couch
"Don't Leave Me" by Q. Parker is a song about a person who's introverted and prefers to stay at home rather than going outside and socializing. The lyrics express the desire to avoid situations that would require interacting with others and having to answer uncomfortable questions. The song's chorus repeats the phrase "Please don't make me leave my house", emphasizing the desire to stay in one's own personal space.
The first few lines about not liking the way whiskey burns the throat, instead opting for rose wine, show the preference for a more comfortable and soothing experience rather than one that might be tense or uncomfortable. The person in the song would rather stay in and watch Netflix or hang out with a close friend, rather than going out and partying.
The lyrics suggest that the person in the song isn't necessarily lonely, but rather content with their own company. They feel no need to be surrounded by people all the time and would rather have some space to be alone. They even acknowledge that it's "not you, it's me" and that their inclination to stay in isn't a reflection of their relationship or the person they're talking to.
The overall tone of the song is reflective and introspective, as it delves into the feelings of a person who prefers to stay inside. While there might be a slight sense of guilt or social pressure to be more outgoing, the song ultimately celebrates the freedom to choose to stay in and do what makes you happy.
