don't leave
Yearning Echoes: Jamie Henry's 'Don't Leave' Unveiled
Lyrics
I, I'm dots on a page
The speaker sees themselves as insignificant, like dots on a page.
Watch me be erased
Expressing a fear of being forgotten or ignored, feeling like they are being erased.
Instead of be traced
Desiring to be noticed or acknowledged instead of disappearing without a trace.
I've made my mistakes
Acknowledging personal errors or regrets in the past.
You, flow like a lake
Describing someone else who is fluid and all-encompassing, like a lake.
Into my veins
Metaphorically, the other person entering the speaker's being, becoming a part of them.
Leaving your stain
Leaving a lasting impression or mark, possibly both positive and negative.
Please don't go away
Begging the other person not to leave, expressing a fear of abandonment.
I have gone along, too long
Reflecting on a past duration of compliance or endurance.
Please don't leave me alone
Pleading to not be left alone, seeking companionship or support.
Please don't leave me alone
Reiteration of the plea not to be left alone, emphasizing the emotional need.
Your soft, pale cheek
Describing a physical characteristic of the other person—soft, pale cheek.
Grazing me
Depicting a gentle contact or interaction with the other person.
Makes me feel so weak
Expressing vulnerability and emotional fragility in response to the other person.
'Cause I know you'll leave
Anticipating the other person's departure and the emotional impact it will have.
I have gone too long
Acknowledging a prolonged duration of separation or emotional distance.
Please don't leave me alone
Repeating the plea not to be left alone, indicating desperation or fear.
Please don't leave me alone
Reiteration of the emotional plea for companionship and avoidance of solitude.
I don't want to be on my own
Expressing a strong desire not to be on one's own, emphasizing dependency.
Do not leave me alone
Emphasizing the plea to avoid being left alone, perhaps with a sense of urgency.
Oh
An emotional exclamation, reinforcing the intensity of the plea.
Please don't leave me alone
Reiterating the request not to be left alone, emphasizing the emotional need for company.
Please don't leave me alone.
Repetition of the plea not to be left alone, underscoring the emotional dependency.
