Take Me Along
miley cyrus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The city of angels is lonely tonight
Keep myself alight by candlelight
So she can love you like I do
Look me in the eyes and say it's true
I ask myself is this love at all
When I need you most, you let me fall
I'm always here at the side of your stage
Let you live your life
Pretend I'm okay (don't you know)
I'll be okay
I'll hold you close we'll stay forever

I, I don't understand why you're leaving me
I, I don't understand, how without you I can breathe
Please don't, don't leave me here
Take my hand and breathe in deep
I don't understand why you can't take me with you

You can pretend I don't exist,
But you will see my face every time you kiss
I hope you heard any walls fall down,
When you hear the sound that I'm okay (don't you know)
I'll be okay
You can't hold me down, I will stay forever

I, I don't understand why you're leaving me
I, I don't understand how without you I can breathe
Please don't, don't leave me here
Take my hand and breathe in deep
I don't understand why you can't take me with you

I watched you leave
I'm awake tonight
And I'm letting go for the last time
And through the tears I say goodbye
So breathe in, breathe in, breathe in, breathe out.

I, I don't understand, why you're leaving me
I, I don't understand how without you I can't breathe
Please don't, don't leave me here
Take my hand and breathe in deep
I don't understand why you can't take me with you
Don't leave me here
Please don't leave me here
I, I don't understand,
How without you I can breathe
Please don't, don't leave me here




Take my hand and breathe in deep
I don't understand why how can't take me with you

Overall Meaning

The song "Take Me Along" by Miley Cyrus is a heartbreaking ballad about a girl who is deeply in love with someone who doesn't reciprocate her feelings. The lyrics open with the singer expressing her loneliness in the city of angels and her futile attempt to keep herself from falling apart. She is hopelessly in love with someone who doesn't love her as much as she loves him, and she needs him to affirm his love for her. However, she questions whether what she is feeling is even love since the person she loves the most lets her down when she needs him the most. The singer is always by his side, watching and supporting him, but she is pretending to be okay, even though she is not.


As the song progresses, the singer implores the person she loves not to leave her and take her with him wherever he goes. She is willing to do anything to be with him and feels that her existence doesn't matter to him. She is hurt that he can pretend she doesn't exist when he is with someone else, but he will always see her face every time he kisses someone else. The singer hopes that he can hear the sound of her breaking walls down and see that she is okay without him. However, she is not and watches him leave, knowing that this is the last time they will say goodbye, and she has to let go. The song ends with her plea for him not to leave her alone, even though she doesn't understand why he can't take her with him.


Overall, "Take Me Along" is a poignant and emotional song, exploring the pain of unrequited love and the longing to be with the one you love. It highlights the desperation of a woman who feels invisible and unimportant, begging for the person she loves to take notice of her and take her along.
