Lyrics

Verse: tell me how

Expressing a desire to understand the current situation

How did we get here

Questioning how the relationship reached its current state

We keep runnin' from all the answers

Not facing the difficult truths and avoiding solutions

And leaving me here with questions

Feeling abandoned with unanswered questions

Its not fare

Expressing a sense of injustice or unfairness

Why you never there

Noticing a lack of presence and emotional support

You keep leaving me here alone

Feeling left alone in the relationship

Please tell me what

Seeking clarity on the partner's intentions

What you wanna do

Asking about the partner's goals and desires

My heart belongs to you

Affirming emotional commitment to the partner

And I don't know what to do

Expressing confusion and helplessness

You say

Referring to the partner's statements

That you still love me

Noticing a contradiction between words and actions

Its not in your actions so whats the distractions

Questioning the partner's distractions from the relationship

Were falling

Describing a sense of falling apart

Falling apart

Highlighting the deterioration of the relationship

Feels like our ending

Comparing the current state to the beginning

Its not like the start

Noting the difference from the initial phase

Please wont you tell me the truth

Requesting honesty and transparency

Instead of always just leaving me here alone

Expressing the impact of constant isolation


Alone

Repeating the desire for truth and avoiding loneliness

I

-

Don't wanna be

-

Alone

-

Don't wanna be here alone

-

Don't wanna be here alone

-

Don't wanna be here alone

-

Please wont u tell me the truth

-

Instead of always just leaving me here alone

-

Please tell me

Continuing the plea for openness and connection

How did you and I become

-

Then change from we to me

-

I see you changed

-

And I'm the one to blame

-

Cause I noticed everything

-

And I never said a thing

-

So say whats on your mind

-

So we don't waste our time

-

Tryna hold on to loose ties

-

Oh baby

-

Please wont you tell me the truth

-

Instead of always just leaving me here alone

-

Alone

-

I

-

Don't wanna be

-

Alone

-

Don't wanna be here alone

-

Don't wanna be here alone

-

Don't wanna be here alone

-

Please wont u tell me the truth

-

Instead of always just leaving me here alone

-

If I'm apart of you

Stressing the interconnectedness and the need for communication

And your apart of me

-

Then why cant we talk it out

-

And bring it back to we

-

You said forever you'd never leave

-

Its worth more than everything

-

And that's what I believe

-

The choices your making are breaking us up

-

Your making it hard to identify love

-

I'm tryna keep us together

-

The only way to make it better

-

Is don't let me be alone

-

Alone

Reiterating the desire to avoid loneliness through truth

I

-

Don't wanna be

-

Alone

-

Don't wanna be here alone

-

Don't wanna be here alone

-

Don't wanna be here alone

-

Please wont u tell me the truth

-

Instead of always just leaving me here alone
