Don't You Leave Me

(Verse 1)

Don’t walk away. Don’t look at him.

Don’t turn your back. Don’t even glance.

You don’t need their pity, you need my skin,

You don’t need them — you belong to me.

They think they see, they think they know.

They think they’re right, they think they understand.

But they don’t feel the pull of my hand.

(Pre-Chorus)

I see the looks, I see the smiles,

But that smile’s mine, I won’t share.

I hear them whisper, I see them stare,

I’ll seal the cracks, I’ll lock the seams,

Keep you tangled in my schemes.

(Chorus)

Don’t leave me, don’t run, don’t hide,

I’ll find you if you slip outside.

Don’t walk away, don’t even try,

I’ll track you down, you can’t deny.

This world I made, it’s mine and yours,

I won’t let go, not through any doors.

You’re mine, you’re mine, don’t say goodbye,

I’ll chase you down, I’ll never lie.

(Verse 2)

You call it control, I call it mine,

Every step you take, I mark the line.

I keep the world from touching you,

I stake my claim — it’s all I do.

I know your secrets, I know your fears,

I’ve been the shadow through all your years.

You can fight it, push it, try to flee,

But you belong — and you’ll stay with me.

(Pre-Chorus)

Don’t look away, don’t even try,

I’ll be the storm you can’t deny.

Every whisper, every move you make,

I own it all — for both our sake.

(Chorus)

Don’t leave me, don’t run, don’t hide,

I’ll find you if you slip outside.

Don’t walk away, don’t even try,

I’ll track you down, you can’t deny.

This world I made, it’s mine and yours,

I won’t let go, not through any doors.

You’re mine, you’re mine, don’t say goodbye,

I’ll chase you down, I’ll never lie.

(Verse 3)

No one else will do it right,

They’d bruise you more, they’d start a fight.

I know the edges, I know the game,

It’s for your good, I stake my claim.

I won’t let life just pull you away.

(Bridge)

I can’t sleep when you’re away.

I can’t breathe when you say no.

Everything I am, everything I’ve learned,

I pour myself into the space you own.

So don’t step out. Don’t step out.

It breaks me more than you’ll ever know.

(Final Chorus)

Don’t leave me, don’t run, don’t hide,

I’ll find you if you slip outside.

Don’t walk away, don’t even try,

I’ll track you down, you can’t deny.

This world I made, it’s mine and yours,

I won’t let go, not through any doors.

You’re mine, you’re mine, don’t say goodbye,

I’ll chase you down, I’ll never lie.

(Outro)

I keep you close, I keep you safe,

I’ll chase you down if you try to break.

You’re mine. Don’t make me prove it.
