I Don't Wanna Leave
US5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
The lyrics "Missing you in my life, can't you see our lives really aren't better now?" show regret and a longing for a lost love. The singer questions whether they wasted their time together and whether they truly have to separate forever. The phrase "Now it seems we are free to be alone in misery" suggests that even though they are apart, they still feel miserable without each other. The chorus emphasizes the singer's desire to stay with their love and not leave, as they still feel the love inside and wonder how they lost what was once so right. The lines "My heart is calling out your name, but you don't care at all" show the singer's frustration with their love's lack of response.
The song overall is about missing someone deeply and wanting to be with them despite everything that's happened. It brings forth the notion that people need a chance to make things right, even if they messed up in the past. The singer is asking themselves if their decision was justified or if they were just blind to the things they had. They wish they could rewind time to make things work out in the end. The final verse shows the pain the singer is feeling because of their love's lack of interest. They don't want these feelings to fade, which shows they still have hope for the relationship to work out.

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
