“Love Me or Leave Me” is a ballad off Kerli’s second album Utopia.
In an interview she said about the song:
Love Me or Leave Me” is someone else’s story but every time I sing it, it makes me cry. I put myself in a lot of different bodies when I write.
[Verse 1]
Sitting here watching you go
For all I know, this could be it
It's been a while since you have kissed me like you mean it
You've been working out, you smell so good
It's not for me
I don't mean to push you but you say that you don't feel it
[Chorus]
Love me or leave me
Or quit me or keep me
Whatever it is you're feeling, I just need to know
Love me or leave me
Grip me or free me
I know that you're out of love, so say it isn't so
Or please just let me go
Or please just let me go
[Verse 2]
Minutes turn hours and I keep waiting, starting at the door
I don't wanna lose you, but I can't hold on forever
All these love affairs where no one cares are not for me
So give me your everything or give me nothing ever
[Chorus]
Love me or leave me
Quit me or keep me
Whatever it is you're feeling, I just need to know
Love me or leave me
Or grip me or free me
I know that you're out of love, so say it isn't so
Or please just let me go
[Bridge]
It kills me every time
You can't say it back
I pretend I'm fine
But I'm about to crack
Bleeding dry of faith
I just miss you so
Pull me closer now
Or please just let me go
[Chorus]
Love me or leave me
Or quit me or keep me
Whatever it is you're feeling, I just need to know
Love me or leave me
Grip me or free me
I know that you're out of lovem so say it isn't so
Or please just let me go
[Outro]
Or please just let me go
Or please just let me go
