Melancholy Melody Lyrics

Leave me alone
I just want to lay here in my room and let myself cry
I apologize if I've disappointed you
I got lost in my darkness and the light hurts my eyes

I know you're counting on me to feed all of our families
But I just need to be on my own for a little while
Cause I can't stop singing these melancholy melodies
So until then I'll hide

I feel tired all the time, yeah, this weight is exhausting
I cannot please everyone, least of all me
I have no more to give you, it's all ready been stolen
Tell me, what's left for me, a melancholy melody

I know you're counting on me to feed all of our families
But I just need to be on my own for a little while
Cause I can't stop singing these melancholy melodies
So until then I'll hide, I'll hide

Well you think I'm scared to write
That I've got nothing left inside and I'm losing all my fire
But it still burns bright, just not on your command

You think I'm scared to write
That I've got nothing left inside and I'm losing all my fire
That I'm losing all my fire, am I losing all my fire?
Still burns bright, brighter yeah
Leave me alone, just wanna lay here alone in my room and let myself cry

I know you're counting on me to feed all of our families
But I just need to be on my own for a little while
So stop calling my phone, please don't come around my home
I just wanna be alone

I know you're counting on me to feed all of our families
But I just can't stop singing these melancholy melodies, yeah
I just wanna be, I just wanna be…alone

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Esthero was kicked off her Sony Record Label after her highly acclaimed Breath From Another did sale more then 250,000 copies. After that our sweet fairy Estherfairy was record contractless, at least for a moment. Luckily she was picked up by another record company and she has said in a few interviews that the record company called her up several times during each production of each song asking if the song is a hit or a number one, she said that she does make hits, she makes music! But I feel that that situation is definitely the inspiration from this song. And she is telling the record company that she still writes good music, just not when they demand it. Music comes with inspiration, not from telephone calls from record executives who want to make money off of you.
