How Can You Leave Me On My Own

The Divine Comedy

Transposer:

[Chorus] How can you leave me on my own? How can you leave me on my own? When did you say that you’re coming home? How can you leave me on my own? [Verse 1] When you leave I become a moron A beer-swilling time-killing moron I surgically remove all of the green food from my diet I know I should be reading but I’m too lazy to try it I keep the TV on all day to chase away the quiet when you leave [Chorus] How can you leave me on my own? How can you leave me on my own? How can you leave me on my own? How can you leave me on my own? When did you say that you’re coming home? How can you leave me on my own? [Verse 2] When you leave I become a dickhead A bad-smelling couch-dwelling dickhead I drink too many cups of tea and eat too many biscuits I think about going out decide not to risk it I look at naked ladies cause I’m too weak to resist it when you leave [Chorus] How can you leave me on my own? How can you leave me on my own? How can you leave me on my own? How can you leave me on my own? It’s not the same talking on the phone How can you leave me on my own? [Verse 3] When you leave I become a caveman A bed-head brain-dead caveman I stare at all the photos and the texts that you have sent me I curl up with the dogs I think they’re starting to resent me I want to go to bed but the bed is just too empty when you leave [Chorus] How can you leave me on my own? How can you leave me on my own? How can you leave me on my own? How can you leave me on my own? When did you say that you’re coming home? How can you leave me on my own?

Cette chanson évoque la solitude et la détresse ressenties lorsqu'une personne chère s'éloigne. L’interprète décrit comment, en l'absence de cette présence, il se laisse aller à des comportements peu glorieux, se perdant dans des habitudes néfastes et une paresse accablante. Il se rend compte que chaque moment passé seul semble interminable, et que les échanges par téléphone ne remplacent pas la chaleur d'une présence physique. Le ton est à la fois léger et mélancolique, soulignant une lutte intérieure entre le besoin d'autonomie et la difficulté de vivre sans l'autre. Cette dualité de sentiments montre à quel point les connexions humaines sont essentielles pour notre bien-être.
