Please Don't Go
SIR NOTCH Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So hold my arms in fear, my broken bones
For forty days and for forty nights
I cry like a child what's the time to fight
To see you here make sit so much worse
Cause I should be here and yes it hurts
Please don't go
Please don't go home with him tonight
Please don't go
Please don't go home
Please don't go home with him tonight
Please don't go
So bright the neon signs, the lines been crossed
The light the morning breaks on a love that's lost
For forty days and for forty nights
I cry like a child what's the time to fight
To see you here makes it so much worse
Cause I should be here man yes it hurts
Please don't go
Please don't go home
Please don't go home with him tonight
Please don't go
Please don't go home
Please don't go home with him tonight
Please don't go
Caught the salty tears like rolling stones
Please don't go
Please don't go home
Please don't go home with him tonight
Please don't go
Please don't go home
Please don't go home with him tonight

Caught the salty tears like rolling stones
I am so sad that tears are rolling down my face like a river
So hold my arms in fear, my broken bones
I need someone to hold me tight in their arms because I'm scared and hurting
For forty days and for forty nights
I've been suffering and crying for a long time
I cry like a child what's the time to fight
I feel so helpless and vulnerable that I can only cry, I don't know how to fight
To see you here makes it so much worse
Seeing you here with someone else is causing me even more pain and sadness
Cause I should be here and yes it hurts
I know I should be the one with you, and it's hurting me deeply that I'm not
Please don't go
I'm begging you not to leave me
Please don't go home
Please don't go back to your home without me
Please don't go home with him tonight
Please don't spend the night with him; stay with me instead
So bright the neon signs, the lines been crossed
The bright neon signs make it obvious that you've crossed a line with someone else
The light the morning breaks on a love that's lost
The morning light exposes that the love we had is now gone
Caught the salty tears like rolling stones
I am still crying tears of sadness like a river
Please don't go
Please, please don't leave me
Please don't go home
Please don't go back to your home without me
Please don't go home with him tonight
Please don't spend the night with him; stay with me instead
Please don't go
I'm begging you not to go
Please don't go home
Please don't go back to your home without me
Please don't go home with him tonight
Please don't spend the night with him; stay with me instead
