Don't Leave Me
The Admirations Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just drop me off at home
I'll be fine, it's not the first
Just like last time, but a little worse
She said that I'm not the one that she thinks about and
She said it stopped being fun, I just bring her down
I said, "don't let your future be destroyed by my past."
She said, "don't let my door hit your ass."
I'll give you yours, I won't take mine
I'll listen up, pretend to care
Go on ahead, I'll meet you there
Let's try this one more time with feeling
The lyrics of The Admirations' song "Don't Leave Me" seem to express the desperation of a lover who is being left behind by their partner. The opening line "Don't leave me all alone" immediately establishes a sense of separation and abandonment. The singer then suggests that the situation is not entirely unfamiliar, as they have been in this position before. However, this time, it is a "little worse," indicating that something has changed for the worse in their relationship.
The second stanza reveals that the lover has broken up with the singer because they no longer find the relationship enjoyable. The singer pleads with their lover not to give up on the relationship due to their past mistakes. However, the lover does not want to hear it and instead is adamant about moving on. The singer still insists on another chance, promising to listen and put more effort into the relationship.
Overall, the song explores the themes of separation, desperation, and the desire to hold onto a relationship that is slipping away. The lyrics also suggest that the main character has made mistakes in the past that are now affecting their present relationship.
