Don't Leave Home by Dido

Don't Leave Home is a 2004 song by the English singer Dido off of her album Life For Rent. It didn't chart high, reaching #1 only on the Russian Singles Chart. Though it only reached #25 on the UK Singles Chart, it remained there for nine weeks and even five years later, remains in popular usage worldwide with the song being featured in movies, soundtracks, tv shows and commercials. It's a song about drug addiction but it is written from the point of the drug speaking to the addict. It is a very beautiful song in my opinion, even with or without knowing the meaning behind it.

The lyrics for Don't Leave Home.
Like a ghost don't need a key
Your best friend I've come to be
Please don't think of getting up for me
You don't even need to speak
When I've been here for just one day
You'll already miss me if I go away
So close the blinds and shut the door
You won't need other friends anymore
Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home
If you're cold I'll keep you warm
If you're low just hold on
Cause I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home
And I arrived when you were weak
I'll make you weaker, weaker still
Now all your love you give to me
When your heart is all I need
Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home
If you're cold I'll keep you warm
If you're low just hold on
Cause I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home
Oh how quiet, quiet the world can be
When it's just you and little me
Everything is clear and everything is new
So you won't be leaving will you
Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home
If you're cold I'll keep you warm
If you're low just hold on
Cause I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home
