Don't Leave Me
blink-182 (USA) 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, and
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.
One more chance, I'll try this time
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, and
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."
Let's try this one more time with feeling
One more time with feeling
One more time with feeling
One more time with feeling
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
Don't leave me all alone
Just drop me off at home
And I'll be fine
The lyrics in blink-182's song "Don't Leave Me" tell the story of a relationship falling apart because one of the partners (the singer) keeps making the same mistakes over and over again. The singer pleads with his partner to give him one more chance, promising to try harder and not let his past mistakes ruin their future together. However, his partner has had enough and tells him that she doesn't want to be with him anymore. Despite this, the singer is still hopeful that they can make it work and begs her not to leave him alone.
The theme of the song is a common one in blink-182's music and in pop punk in general - the struggles of teenage relationships and the pain of heartbreak. The lyrics are very straightforward and don't leave much room for interpretation, but they capture the emotions of love and loss in a way that is relatable to many young people.
