I Don't Wanna Leave
US5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Missing you in my life
Cant you see our lives
Really aren't better now
Did we waste our times
Do we have to be
Separated for all time
Now it seems we are free
To be alone in misery

I don't wanna leave
I still feel the love inside
I don't wanna leave
I still ask the question why
I sit and wonder
How did we just lose the key
To all that was so right
I don't wanna leave your side
Tonight

Were we right or justified
Or maybe we were blind
Not to see what we had
Was so hard to find
Now I wish that we
Could only just rewind the time
To the time we both had the chance
To make it work out right

I don't wanna leave
I still feel the love inside
I don't wanna leave
I still ask the question why
I sit and wonder
How did we just lose the key
To all that was so right
I don't wanna leave your side
Tonight

I couldn't be without you (Don't leave)
Don't wanna be without you (Don't leave)
My heart is calling out your name
But you don't care at all
(you don't care at all)
Not sure what was articulated (Don't leave)
No matter how I try to stop this pain (Don't leave)
I'm feeling lost without you
Don't let these feelings fade
(not sure what was articulated)

I don't wanna leave
I still feel the love inside
I don't wanna leave
I still ask the question why
I sit and wonder
How did we just lose the key
To all that was so right




I don't wanna leave your side
Tonight

Line by Line Meaning

Missing you in my life
I am feeling your absence in my life


Cant you see our lives
Are you not able to see how much our lives have changed


Really aren't better now
Our lives have not improved since we separated


Did we waste our times
Did we spend our time together in vain


Do we have to be
Is it necessary for us to remain separated


Separated for all time
Do we have to be apart forever


Now it seems we are free
Now it feels like we have the freedom to be apart


To be alone in misery
But being alone is causing us pain


I don't wanna leave
I don't want to be apart from you


I still feel the love inside
I still love you deeply


I still ask the question why
I still don't understand why we are apart


I sit and wonder
I spend time thinking about our relationship


How did we just lose the key
How did we let go of what was so important to us


To all that was so right
To all the good things that we had in our relationship


I don't wanna leave your side
I don't want to be away from you


Tonight
Especially tonight


Were we right or justified
Were we correct in our reasons for separating


Or maybe we were blind
Or maybe we couldn't see what was important


Not to see what we had
We didn't realize the value of our relationship


Was so hard to find
Was something that is not easy to come across


Now I wish that we
Now I wish that we could


Could only just rewind the time
Go back in time


To the time we both had the chance
Back to the time when we had the opportunity


To make it work out right
To fix things between us


I couldn't be without you (Don't leave)
I cannot live without you


Don't wanna be without you (Don't leave)
I don't want you to leave me


My heart is calling out your name
I am missing you very much


But you don't care at all
You seem to be indifferent to my feelings


(you don't care at all)
It feels like you don't care at all


Not sure what was articulated (Don't leave)
I am not sure what I said that made you want to leave


No matter how I try to stop this pain (Don't leave)
No matter how hard I try, this pain of separation won't go away


I'm feeling lost without you
I feel confused and directionless since you left


Don't let these feelings fade
Please don't let our feelings for each other fade away
