Only When You Leave Lyrics
Laying in the after glow,
I only want to learn what you know,
But now you're leaving...
How many hearts must you break?
How many calls must I make?
But now you're leaving...
In this world, all that I choose has come unbearable
But love is in your touch
Ooh, it's killing me so much
Only when you leave
I need to love you
And when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough too long
Only when you leave, you'll leave in danger
Oh, I'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away
I only want to make this things last,
So how could this have gone so fast?
And now you're leaving...
How many times must I learn?
It' s only when you've gone that I burn,
And now you're leaving...
In the end, all that is left has come unbearable
It's hard to change your mind,
So leave it all behind
Only when you leave
I need to love you
And when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough too long
Only when you leave, you'll leave in danger
Oh, I'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away
Layin' in the after glow
I only want to learn what you know
Ooh, but now you're leavin'
How many hearts must you break
And how many calls must I make?
But now you're leavin'
In this world all that I choose has come unbearable
But love is in your touch
Ooh, it's killing me so much
Only when you leave
I'll need to love you
And when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
A fool enough too long
Only when you leave, you'll leave in danger
Ooh, I'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away
Whoa, no no no no
Only when you leave, you'll leave in danger
Ooh, I'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough too long
Only when you leave...
Meaning of Only When You Leave
“Only When You Leave” captures the agonizing despair of a love lost and the desperate clinging to a fading connection. The speaker is trapped in a cycle of yearning, repeatedly lamenting the departure of a beloved figure who seems to inflict pain with every goodbye. He’s consumed by a need to understand her actions – “How many hearts must you break?” – and driven to a point of foolish obsession, recognizing his own vulnerability and willingness to sacrifice everything for love. The repetition underscores the cyclical nature of heartbreak and the realization that true fulfillment only emerges in the absence of the one he desires. The lyrics reveal a feeling of unbearable sorrow, coupled with a simmering resentment and a desire for retribution, ultimately highlighting the destructive power of unrequited longing and the painful truth that sometimes, love leaves you utterly alone and consumed by regret.
