don't leave me
Yearning Heart: Laura Llanos' Emotional Plea for Love
Lyrics
What will I do, without you
Expressing concern about life without the person being addressed.
It's like it's going, to come true
Describing a fear that a certain situation or event might actually happen.
I don't know how to say, that I love you
Difficulty in expressing love verbally.
You say you'll text me, but you never do
Addressing unfulfilled promises of communication through text messages.
Always trying to make an excuse
Pointing out a pattern of making excuses for not keeping promises.
But please
Introduction of a plea or request.
Don't leave me
Directly asking the person not to leave.
You're like the missing piece of my heart
Describing the person as an essential part of the speaker's heart.
And I'm just layin' in the dark
Conveying a sense of loneliness in the absence of the person.
So please
Repetition of the plea not to leave.
Don't leave me
Reiteration of the plea not to leave.
Don't leave me
Repetition emphasizing the fear of abandonment.
You're always leaving me out on things
Feeling excluded from certain events or aspects of the person's life.
When I thought you were gonna be with me
Expressing disappointment in unmet expectations of togetherness.
Saying you're busy when I call you
Accusing the person of using busyness as an excuse to avoid communication.
But I know that's not true
Asserting skepticism about the truthfulness of the person's excuses.
You're like the missing piece of my heart
Reiteration of the person's importance as a piece of the speaker's heart.
And I'm just layin' in the dark
Emphasizing the emotional darkness experienced without the person.
So please
Repetition of the plea not to leave.
Don't leave me
Reiteration of the plea not to leave.
Don't leave me
Repetition emphasizing the fear of abandonment.
Don't leave me
Final plea not to be abandoned.
I wanna tell you how much I love you
Expressing a desire to confess love despite anticipating a casual response.
But I know that you'll say that's cool
Expecting the person to respond casually to the expression of love.
Then block me out of you're life
Fearing being blocked out of the person's life after expressing emotions.
Then all I'll do is cry
Anticipating a sad emotional reaction if abandoned.
I'll think about all the stuff that I've told you
Reflecting on past conversations and shared feelings with the person.
And all the things that I love about you
Recalling positive aspects of the person that are loved.
I regret all the things I've done and said
Expressing remorse for past actions and words in the relationship.
Because you don't care and you're just layin' in bed
Believing that the person doesn't care and is indifferent.
You're like the missing piece of my heart
Reiteration of the person's importance as a piece of the speaker's heart.
And I'm just layin' in the dark
Emphasizing the emotional darkness experienced without the person.
So please
Repetition of the plea not to leave.
Don't leave me
Reiteration of the plea not to leave.
Don't leave me
Repetition emphasizing the fear of abandonment.
Don't leave me
Final plea not to be abandoned.
