Never Leave
Seether Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will I be ashamed of crying?
And I know it's never been the way that I described
But I am afraid of trying
She's the one who keeps me all excited
She keeps me begging for more
She's the one who deems me uninvited
Now it's over
Never leave me, and don't deceive me
I'll keep on crawling my friend
Never tease me and don't leave me here
It's all the same in the end
Now I find that I am weaker fake
That I am ashamed of lying
And I know things never feel the way that's right inside
And I am afraid of dying
'Cause you're the one who keeps me all excited
You keep me begging for more
You're the one who keeps uninvited
Now it's over
Never leave me, and don't deceive me
I'll keep on crawling my friend
It's only a symbol you're got me falling away
And I am afraid
Take back what I said
It's all the same in the end
It's all the same in the end
It's all the same in the end
It's only a symbol

I swear Seether songs alleviate the pain or hurt. Love this band!
@jesselundquist7223
How many of us used bands like this songs like this with such feel and deep meaning to get through our tough teenage years. Our lives were hanging on by threads now woven into tough armor yet so frail and fragile. Here's to all of us who share similarities and know because of bands and songs like these were never alone ❤
@papastormcrow
not just teenage years...I'm nearly 50 and songs like this...both old and new....still speak loud volumes about what the world never gets to see, what I keep chained within...
@susannicholson3025
