When You Leave Me
Love's Undoing: Navigating Heartbreak in Julian Peterson's Melody
Lyrics
Been thinking about you
Reflecting on thoughts of someone.
When you fall out of love and you leave me
Contemplating the potential scenario of falling out of love and being left.
What will I do?
Expressing uncertainty about how to cope with the departure.
Been falling apart
Experiencing emotional breakdown.
But I gotta stay strong when you leave me
Determined to remain emotionally resilient despite the impending departure.
Cause I can’t be a dog off his leash with no home
Comparing oneself to a restrained dog without a home, emphasizing the need for freedom.
Please believe me
Pleading for understanding and trust.
No, I won’t be a fool when you free me
Committing to avoid being naive when set free.
I can’t fight anymore and I’m sorry
Acknowledging exhaustion from the emotional battle and expressing remorse.
But I won’t be the one on my knees
Refusing to be submissive in the face of challenges.
It’s not easy
Admitting the difficulty of the situation.
When you leave me
Reiterating the impact of the departure.
Been starting a thought
Initiating a new thought or perspective.
That forms in my head when we argue
Describing the mental process during arguments.
I’ve been building it up and I can’t make it stop
Feeling overwhelmed with accumulating emotions.
Won’t you let me?
Pleading for understanding or compromise.
Been thinking about you
Revisiting thoughts about the person when love fades.
When we fall out of love and you leave me
Questioning the actions to take upon being left.
What will I do?
Expressing a sense of helplessness.
What can I do?
Highlighting the limited options when set free.
Though I may be adrift when you free me
Feeling lost without restrictions, possibly after a breakup.
I can’t lie anymore and I’m sorry
Admitting inability to continue deception and apologizing.
But I won’t be the one that deceives you
Committing not to deceive the departing person.
It’s not easy
Acknowledging the emotional challenge of separation.
When you leave me
Reiterating the impact of the departure.
Been thinking about you
Revisiting thoughts about the person in times of grief.
When we’re all out of love and I’m grieving
Describing the emotional state when love is gone.
What will I do?
Questioning the actions to take upon being left.
What could I do?
Expressing a sense of helplessness.
I’m breaking apart
Experiencing emotional breakdown.
But I can’t be in ruins when you leave me
Rejecting the idea of being in ruins after the departure.
Won’t give up on my soul
Committing to preserving one's soul despite not being needed.
If you don’t need me
Emphasizing the commitment even if not reciprocated.
If you don’t need me
Reiterating the commitment not to clear up the emotional mess.
I won’t clear up our mess
Refusing to be submissive and fall on one's knees.
No, I won’t be the one
Rejecting the role of being the one to submit.
Won’t fall on my knees
Choosing not to yield or beg.
It’s too easy
Acknowledging the simplicity of submission.
If you need me
Expressing readiness to be needed.
Been thinking about you
Revisiting thoughts about the person when love fades.
When you fall out of love and you leave me
Contemplating the potential scenario of falling out of love and being left.
What will I do?
Questioning the actions to take upon being left.
What will I do?
Expressing uncertainty about how to cope with the departure.
