leaves alone
Lets someone be
To leave alone is to refrain from disturbing, bothering, or interfering with someone or something.
If you leave a person alone, you stop pestering them or give them solitude: Just leave me alone—I need to think.
Leaving a situation alone means not meddling with it: The engine's running fine, so leave it alone.
The phrase can also mean to let someone be by themselves: She left him alone in the house for the weekend.
