If You Leave
Heartache Serenade: A.B. Quintanilla's Plea for Love
Lyrics
I just can't believe it
I am in disbelief.
What you telling me right now
What you're telling me is surprising.
After all that we've been through
Reflecting on our shared experiences.
Tell me how could this be end
How can our relationship come to an end?
I just don't understand
I am struggling to comprehend.
I can't believe the words you're telling me
I find it hard to believe the words you're saying.
You say you're not in love no more and you have to leave
You claim not to be in love anymore and want to leave.
What did I do to make you feel this way
Asking what caused this change in your feelings.
Please tell me now what can I do to make you stay
Pleading for advice on how to make you stay.
(Oh girl don't abandon me don't you take your love from me)
Expressing fear of being abandoned.
Girl don't you know that girl without you I'll go crazy
Emphasizing the emotional impact of separation.
(Please girl don't say good-bye don't make me break down and cry )
Pleading not to say goodbye and avoiding emotional breakdown.
Oh you're my everything
Highlighting the significance of the person in the speaker's life.
Girl if you leave
Addressing the possibility of the person leaving.
Then tell me what am I suppose to do
Seeking guidance on what to do if the person leaves.
Where do I go from here with out the love of you without you in my life
Expressing the emptiness without the person's love.
What kind of life would that be I'm begging you to stay so don't you take your love from me
Begging the person not to take their love away.
I can't go on without you here with me I really need you
Conveying the speaker's inability to continue without the person.
I'm in pain girl can't you see how much love I truly have for you
Expressing emotional pain and the depth of love.
How could you do this to me tell me what can I do
Questioning why this is happening and seeking a solution.
(Oh girl don't abandon me don't you take your love from me)
Reiteration of the fear of abandonment.
Girl don't you know that girl without you I'll go crazy
Emphasizing the emotional impact of separation.
(Please girl don't say good-bye don't make me break down and cry )
Pleading not to say goodbye and avoiding emotional breakdown.
Oh you're my everything
Reiterating the importance of the person in the speaker's life.
Baby look at all the things we have been through
Reflecting on shared experiences with the person.
Then look into my eyes girl and see its you that I am into
Directing the person to see the depth of the speaker's feelings.
Knew when I met you that I changed my life
Expressing the transformative impact of meeting the person.
So that why I bought you ice then made you wife
Highlighting significant gestures, like buying jewelry and marriage.
Took you on first class flights
Describing luxurious experiences shared with the person.
Give you a kiss to make up the fights
Using affection to mend conflicts.
Know that I was alright
Acknowledging that everything seemed fine.
Did your love get the best of me
Reflecting on the impact of the person's love.
Couldn't sleep without you next to me
Expressing dependence on the person for sleep.
Give you all my cheese and now you want to up and leave
Giving everything to the person, who now wants to leave.
Got me down on hands and knees and I'm begging you please to hold tight
Begging for the person to hold on.
Started wondering why they say that I man is supposed to cry
Questioning societal expectations regarding men and emotions.
Tears from my eyes to let you know I need you in my life
Shedding tears to convey the need for the person in life.
Just so I can make things right
Expressing the commitment to make things right.
Did everything you told me to
Fulfilling the person's requests.
Couldn't help but get close to you so if you leave what am I suppose to do
Expressing vulnerability and confusion if the person leaves.
I just can't believe it
Reiteration of disbelief in the current situation.
What you telling me right now
Repeating the surprise at what is being said.
After all that we've been through
Reflecting on shared experiences once again.
Tell me how could this be end
Questioning how the relationship could come to an end.
I just don't understand
Expressing continued confusion and lack of understanding.
