Please Leave
"Please Leave" is the third single from Australian alternative rock band Jebediah's second studio album, Of Someday Shambles. It was released on 13 March 2000 in two versions, a brown version and a blue version, according to the main background colour of its cover. Aside from the lead track, the brown version had two new studio tracks and multi-media video of their previous single, "Feet Touch the Ground". After the lead track, the blue version had four live tracks.
"Please Leave" was co-written by all four band members, Chris Daymond, Brett Mitchell, Kevin Mitchell and Vanessa Thornton. Brett, the group's drummer, in a run through Of Someday Shambles' track list, described it as "The lost song. We played it at Planet (in Perth) before Slightly Odway. Kevin had written out the lyrics and gaffa taped them to Vanessa's back. After that we totally forgot about it and Chris found the lyric sheet in a guitar case somewhere."
"Please Leave" peaked at number 53 on the ARIA Singles Chart. It polled at number 30 on Triple J's Hottest 100 for 2000.

Please Leave
by: Start TroubleWhat would I need drugs for?
To keep my mind off you
Why do I lock myself in my room
Alone?
And I was scared
That the world would make me numb
And I would become like it
Someday they will pay for all of this
Break, break, shatter the mirror
Glass, glass, glass in my hand
Blood, blood, blood on the counter
And I don't think you'd ever understand
Hurt, hurt, hurting my feelings
Fuck, fuck, my self-esteem
Shut, shut the door and let me be
Some things are just wrong with me
Why would I cut myself?
To keep my mind off you
Why do I hate myself the way I do?
I do
And I was scared
That the world would make me numb
And I would become like it
Someday they will pay for all of this
Break, break, shatter the mirror
Glass, glass, glass in my hand
Blood, blood, blood on the counter
And I don't think you'd ever understand
Hurt, hurt, hurting my feelings
Fuck, fuck, my self-esteem
Shut, shut the door and let me be
Some things are just wrong with me
Look at me now
Look at me hurt myself tonight
Look at me now
Look at me, look at me hurt myself tonight
Break, break, shatter the mirror
Glass, glass, glass in my hand
Blood, blood, blood on the counter
And I don't think you'd ever understand
Hurt, hurt, hurting my feelings
Fuck, fuck, my self-esteem
Shut, shut the door and let me be
Some things are just wrong
