Never Leave: the lyrics and their meaning
Never Leave is a song where the singer fights to keep his love relationship alive and asks his girl to do the same.
Knowing the lyrics of Bailey Zimmerman’s last songs, we see that he was living a complicated relationship where things were not going perfectly. But he was trying his best because he was emotionally involved and committed to that relationship. That was the meaning of Rock and a Hard Place. After that, Bailey Zimmerman released Where It Ends, and, as we explained here, that was when he decided that the relationship was no longer worth any effort.
Never Leave was written before Where It Ends and shared by Bailey Zimmerman earlier. This is crucial to understand the song’s real meaning: Never Leave belongs to the phase of Bailey’s life when he was still fighting for his love. And that’s what he says in the lyrics: I don’t want to give up, so please, don’t leave. Fight with me, and let’s make this relationship work.
I won’t give up on you, so darlin’, don’t give up on me
Don’t you wanna stay? Don’t just walk away from our memories
And I can’t promise nothin’ but the rest of me
I’ll fight for you, I’ll fight for us, I’ll fight to never leave
Bailey Zimmerman’s poetic lines admit that we are all humans and can make mistakes. We can also hurt each other involuntarily. But we can fix all that with some effort because we can change.
Yeah, we’re only human
But that don’t mean that we can’t change
I can hurt you, you can hurt me
But we feel each other’s pain
There are some painful lyrics in Never Leave, where the singer recalls all the times his girl said she would never leave. In those lines, the emotion is still strong in Bailey’s heart, and he also confesses that she’s “the reason his heart beats.”
And life don’t make it easy
But you’re the reason my heart beats
You swore you’d never leave me
So I’ve been thinkin’ it’d be easy to get down on one knee
For both our sake, let’s put love back in its place
Never Leave represent the last effort Bailey Zimmerman made to save his relationship, and the lyrics have this real meaning. After noticing that the efforts failed again, he decided it was time to move on, even if the heart might still be involved. And that’s when Where It Ends was born.
