"Just Leave Me" is about the age old story of a lover's cheating game. It is about knowing that the person you love is betraying you and asking them to leave because you are too deep in love to do it yourself. In the first verse
Tatiana sings, "I've been wondering for so long, why you've been out all along. You said you've been working oh so late, but you're just making excuses for a date." She them emphasizes this during the emotional build of the chorus singing, "I can't take this anymore. Just leave me. Walk right out the door 'cuz you don't care. So just leave me, boy. You better leave me. We both know, I still love you so. I need you to leave me!"
