Leave Her Alone
The Winks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't come see me
I got your number and I blocked it on my phone
Well my thought to you is
Please leave me alone
We had a good time
Taking it day by day
I thought I had
We both knew loss
And a pain that was so clear
For no reasons at all
You put me down to tears
Don't come near me
Don't come see me
I got your number and I blocked it on my phone
Well my thought to you is
Please leave me alone
We met on match
A miracle in itself
Thought you were a catch
Then I landed on a shelf
You turned ice cold
And it chilled me to the bone
Packed up my things
And thank God I made it home
Don't come near me
Don't come see me
I got your number and I blocked it on my phone
Well my thought to you is
Please leave me alone
Take it away
Don't come near me
Don't come see me
I got your number and I blocked it on my phone
Well my thought to you is
Please leave me alone
Maybe someday
I'll know what I have done
Whatever it is
It's something you have spun
It's anyone's guess
How long that it will be
One thing for certain
It's the end of you and me
Don't come near me
Don't come see me
I got your number and I blocked it on my phone
Well my thought to you is
Please leave me alone
My thought to you is
Please leave me alone
My thought to you is
Please leave me alone
