Blame me
Save a prayer for those who haunt you
There now
I don’t mind if you still love me
Don’t come overhear what I say
Don’t come overhear what I say
Don’t come overhear what I say
Just leave me alone
Leave me alone
Shame me
Hide your heart from those who hunt you
Way down (down, down)
Would you care if I still need her
Don’t come overhear what I say
Don’t come overhear what I say
Don’t come overhear what I say
Just leave me alone
Leave me alone
Save me
Taken far from those who flaunt you
Calm down
Drag your heart and you behind her
Don’t come overhear what I say
Don’t come overhear what I say
Don’t come overhear what I say
Just leave me alone
Leave me alone
Exploring Isolation and Emotional Distance
“Leave Me Alone” by Alice In Chains is a raw exploration of emotional boundaries and the desire for solitude. The lyrics express a yearning to be left undisturbed, with phrases like “Don’t come overhear what I say” and the repeated plea to “leave me alone.” These lines reflect a deep need for personal space amid emotional turmoil. The song touches on feelings of blame, shame, and the struggle to shield oneself from haunting memories or relationships that linger. At its core, the track is a powerful statement about the importance of self-preservation when overwhelmed by the expectations or actions of others.
