I Don't Want To Fight
Yearning for Home: A Song of Love and Longing
Lyrics
I don't want to fight
I am not interested in engaging in conflict.
Unless I'm fighting for you
If there is a fight, it should be for your sake.
I don't want to cry
I prefer not to cry.
If I'm not crying with you
If I cry, it should be alongside you.
I want you to stay
I desire your presence and want you to remain.
I don't want you to go
I don't want you to leave.
I'll be right here, yeah I'm here
I'll be here, expressing commitment and fear of your absence.
And I'm scared that you're not coming home
I'm anxious that you might not return home.
Well, I tried moving on
I attempted to move on, but it didn't work for me.
It wasn't for me
Trying to move on was not suitable for my well-being.
It's been way too long
It has been too long since I last heard you sing.
Since I've heard you sing
Expressing the longing for the partner's musical presence.
So why don't you stay
Requesting the partner to stay with the speaker.
Just stay here with me
An urging plea for the partner to remain in the speaker's company.
Don't you know what I know
Questioning if the partner understands what the speaker knows.
Don't you feel it? Don't walk out, don't leave
Encouraging the partner not to leave, emphasizing shared feelings.
Girl, you know I get lonely without you
Expressing loneliness in the partner's absence.
You're the one who knows me
Affirming that the partner truly knows the speaker.
Cuz you are, you are, you are my home
Declaring the partner as the speaker's home.
I don't want to fight
Reiteration of the unwillingness to engage in a fight.
But I'm fighting for you
If there's a fight, it is solely for the partner.
I didn't mean to make you cry
An apology for unintentionally causing the partner to cry.
Well I'm crying here too
Expressing simultaneous emotional distress with the partner.
So if you can't, honey if you can't stay
If the partner can't stay, the speaker is willing to leave too.
Well then I'm leaving with you
Expressing a readiness to accompany the partner if they leave.
Yeah, you know what I know what I'm feelin'
Affirmation that both the speaker and partner share similar emotions.
You're feelin' it too
Confirming that the partner is also feeling the same emotions.
Girl, you know I get lonely without you
Reiteration of loneliness without the partner.
You're the one who knows me
Affirming that the partner truly understands the speaker.
Cuz you are, you are, you are my home
Reaffirmation that the partner is the speaker's home.
