Sweet Emily
My bride to be
Just how long will you stand next to me?
For we both know
It’s more than a load
For you to bear
It’d break my heart
But I’d understand
If you’d
Leave me for another man
With a little
Less on his mind
Less on his plate
Less in his brain
Please do not lean
On me
I’m unstable
You’re all you need
I’ve seen it, you’re able
Please do not lean
On me
I’m unstable
You’re all you need
I’ve seen it, you’re able
Sex in the air
I’m deep in despair
Could you
Please act like you’re unaware
But we both know
I’m just a dog
Chasing his bone
Please understand
I’m just a man
That’s nearly
Figured out his master plan
Just stick around
And you gon’ see
I’m worth every pound
Please do not lean
On me
I’m unstable
You’re all you need
I’ve seen it, you’re able
Please do not lean
On me
I’m unstable
You’re all you need
I’ve seen it, you’re able
The more that we both try to fight it
The harder it’s gon’ be
I wish that we could stand united
Instead we’re crumbling
I know that you gon’ always love me
In spite of things you’ve seen
In spite of things you’ve heard me say
No matter how obscene
If I am the sky
You are the sea
Staring back at me
If I am the sky
You are the sea
Staring back at me
If I am the sky
You are the sea
Staring back at me
Exploring Vulnerability and Self-Awareness in “Please Do Not Lean”
“Please Do Not Lean” by Caesar and Daniel delves deep into the complexities of love, vulnerability, and self-doubt. The lyrics paint a portrait of a protagonist who is deeply aware of their own emotional instability, urging their partner not to depend on them. The repeated refrain, “Please do not lean on me, I’m unstable,” highlights a profound sense of self-awareness and an honest admission of personal limitations. Through evocative metaphors like “If I am the sky, you are the sea,” the song beautifully captures the dynamic and sometimes turbulent interplay between two people who care deeply yet struggle with their own insecurities.
