Don't Go
Unwavering Love and Fear of Loss: 'Don't Go' by Hannah Georgas
Lyrics
I know you, you're worrying all the time
I recognize that you are constantly filled with worry
I know it's because you want me to be alright
Your concern stems from your desire for my well-being
Don't know what I'd do if I lost you
I cannot fathom the consequences of losing you
Don't know what I'd do if I lost you
The uncertainty of losing you is overwhelming
I wish you didn't take on everybody's pain
I wish you wouldn't absorb the pain of everyone around you
'Cause I know you, every night you're saying prayers
I am aware that every night you engage in prayer
Don't know what I'd do if I lost you
The thought of losing you is too distressing to comprehend
Don't know what I'd do if I lost you
The potential loss of you is a daunting prospect
So don't go, don't go on me now
Please stay with me, do not leave now
Don't go, don't grow old on me now
Do not age and change on me abruptly
Oh, oh God, what the hell would I do?
An expression of desperation and uncertainty about life without the person
If you take her, I swear I'm coming too
An intense reaction, suggesting a willingness to follow the person even in death
'Cause I don't know what I'd do
I am unsure how to cope if you are gone
Don't know what I do if I lost you
The fear of losing you is paralyzing
So don't go, don't go on me now
Pleading for the person not to leave at this moment
Don't go, don't grow old on me now
Expressing a fear of the person growing old and changing
Hold me like a child
Desiring to be held in a comforting manner, like a child
Run your fingers through my hair
Seeking reassurance through physical touch and affection
Lying on your couch
Recalling shared intimate moments, possibly emphasizing nostalgia
Watching TV in the basement
Reflecting on spending time together in a specific location
Hold me like a child
Repeating the desire to be held in a childlike manner
Run your fingers through my hair
Reiterating the need for comforting touch and connection
Lying on your couch
Revisiting the image of lying together, emphasizing intimacy
Don't go, don't go on me now
Repeating the plea for the person not to leave at this moment
Don't go, don't grow old on me now
Expressing the fear of the person undergoing unwelcome changes
So don't go, don't go on me now
Reemphasizing the urgency of the request for the person to stay
Don't go, don't grow old on me now
Reiterating the concern about the person growing old and changing
So don't go, don't go on me now
Stressing the importance of the person not leaving at this crucial moment
Don't go, don't grow old on me now
Repeating the plea to avoid the person aging and changing suddenly
