Don't Leave Me
Younghearts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In good faith now all I want
Is to be with Someone
Who can change this empty space
And there's no turning back
When your mind is a trap
And the one that you love
When the one that you love
They don't come round so much
Give me something to hold
Give me something to touch
Don't Leave me Here
Don't Leave me
Our Love is Golden
And your touch is all i need
If you ever feel broken
In weakness stand by me
Don't Leave me Here
Don't leave me
Do you wonder?
Like I wonder?
The lyrics of "Don't Leave Me" by Younghearts express the longing of the singer for love and the fear of abandonment. The first verse talks about how the singer's heart was stolen, and now they seek someone who can fill the emptiness in their life. The chorus emphasizes the fear of being left alone by the one they love, and the desperate plea for them to stay. The second verse reaffirms the love between the singer and their partner, that it is precious to them, and that they need each other to stay strong. The final lines of the song pose a rhetorical question, "Do you wonder? Like I wonder?" which implies that the singer is unsure if their partner shares the same fears and doubts, and they hope to find reassurance in that.

My heart was stolen
Someone took my heart without my permission
In good faith now all I want
Despite being hurt, I still have hope for love
Is to be with Someone
My desire is to be with a person who loves me for me
Who can change this empty space
I need someone to fill the emptiness in my heart
And there's no turning back
I am committed to this relationship
When your mind is a trap
Sometimes your mind can play tricks on you
And the one that you love
The person I love
They won't ever come back
I fear that they will never return to me
When the one that you love
The person I love
They don't come round so much
I don't see them often enough
Give me something to hold
I need physical affection
Give me something to touch
I need to feel loved
Don't Leave me Here
I'm afraid of being alone
Don't Leave me
I need your love and support
Our Love is Golden
Our relationship is special
And your touch is all i need
Physical touch is important to me
If you ever feel broken
If you feel sad or hurt
In weakness stand by me
Support me through tough times
Do you wonder?
Do you ever question things like I do?
Like I wonder?
I often question if we're meant to be together
