Leave Me Alone
Santana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The meaning of love has changed
I should've known it
'Cause it feels like you're sleeping away
Hold on, little darlin'
How can I make you stay?
Oh no, no, no
No, I never wanna have to say
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Don't make me feel this way
Chill to the bone, I'm all alone
I don't wanna feel this way
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
My heart is open with a chance you will take it away
And leave me with an empty world
It doesn't have to be this way
Baby, don't go
For love that we made
Don't go, don't go, don't go
I never wanna say
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Don't make me feel this way
Chill to the bone I'm all alone
I don't wanna feel this way
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
The lyrics of Santana's "Leave Me Alone" seem to be about a man who is struggling with a difficult relationship. The woman he loves seems distant and unresponsive to his affection, and he is left feeling alone and desperate for her attention. He tries to reach out to her, but she continues to push him away, leaving him feeling confused and frustrated.
In the first verse, he describes a conversation that they had in the morning where she tells him that the meaning of love has changed. He is hurt by this because he feels like he doesn't understand what she wants from him anymore. He begs her to stay and not leave him alone, but she doesn't seem interested.
In the second verse, he opens up about his fear of losing her. He worries that she will take his heart and leave him with nothing, and he pleads with her not to go. He is willing to do anything to keep her by his side, but she remains cold and distant.
Overall, the song is a powerful expression of the pain of loving someone who doesn't love you back. The lyrics are simple yet poignant, and the melody is haunting and beautiful. It is a song that speaks to anyone who has ever been in a difficult relationship and felt like they were alone in their struggle.
