Following a similar theme of breakups and romance throughout the album, this song highlights Mark’s despair at his break-up with a girlfriend.
In the band’s live album, The Mark, Tom and Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back!), Mark jokes that this song is about his genital herpes.
In a program for one of Blink’s tours around the time of Enema’s release, Tom left a brief annotation for each track. For “Don’t Leave Me”:
"'Mark wrote that song, so I can’t really speak about what was going through his mind when he wrote that one. But I can judge on the lyrics. He wrote that song when he didn’t even have a girlfriend, so I don’t know who he’s talking to. Sometimes you write a relationship song that really doesn’t have that much deep meaning. I think it’s just like that feeling when you’re really in love with a girl, you’re just thinking ‘Please, please, please don’t stop liking me.’ That’s the gist of the song. All the times you put your feelings into liking a girl, and she doesn’t like you at all, and she thinks you’re a scumbag. So therefore that song’s like a prayer to a girl. Always hoping that you won’t make the girl throw up forever, always hoping that the girls will love you. We speak for all males, we write songs hoping that girls will like us dirty rotten boys for a long time.'"
