Keshi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
But you don't need me like I need you
Pray that I won't be alone
Baby, I call in the dead of night
But you don't need me like I need you
Pray that I won't be alone
Layin' on the bed
Waitin' for your text (be alone)
Babe, there's nothin' left
Faded, I'm a wreck (be alone)
Afraid what's comin' next
Wish we never met (be alone)
Layin' us to rest
But baby, I beg you (be alone)
Too soon with a drunk call (like I need you, pray that)
In the middle of the night (I won't be alone)
You took it, my fault
Didn't really mean to interrupt, yeah (be alone)
But if you change your mind then hit me up, no, yeah-he (be alone)
Pain, that's an option (baby, I)
No time for nonsense (call in the dead of night)
Can't ask you nothin'
Drank, feeling nauseous (you don't need me)
Too many toxins (like I need you)
Not even conscious (pray that I won't be alone)
Say nothin' more
Say nothin' more, baby
Pain, that's an option (baby, I)
No time for nonsense (call in the dead of night)
Can't ask you nothin'
Drank, feeling nauseous (you don't need me...)
Too many toxins (like I need you)
Not even conscious (pray that I won't be alone)
Say nothin' more
Say nothin' more, baby
We're better on our own
Tonight I'm gettin' throwed (you don't need me)
She never comin' home
Stay with me (pray that I won't be alone)
Say you'll leave, oh-oh (you don't need me, like I need you)
Yeah, oh-yeah (pray that I won't be alone)
Yeah-eh-eh-hey (be alone)
Pain, that's an option
No time for nonsense
Can't ask you nothin'
Drank, feeling nauseous (you don't need me)
Too many toxins (like I need you)
Not even conscious (pray that I won't be alone)
Say nothin' more
Say nothin' more, baby
Pain, that's an option (baby, I)
No time for nonsense (call in the dead of night)
Can't ask you nothin'
Drank, feeling nauseous (you don't need me)
Too many toxins (like I need you)
Not even conscious (pray that I won't be alone)
Say nothin' more
Say nothin' more, baby
Baby girl is sayin' that we just friends (be alone)
That we just friends, uh (you don't need me)
If we fuckin', are we just friends? (Be alone)
Are we just friend? No, no (you don't need me)
The song "like i need u" by Keshi is a heart-wrenching ballad about unrequited love and the pain that comes with it. The lyrics express the desperation the singer feels for someone who doesn't need him the way he needs her. He calls her in the dead of night, praying that she won't leave him alone with his thoughts. He waits for her texts, but nothing comes. He's a wreck, wishing they never met, but begging for her not to leave him alone.
The lyrics are fraught with emotion and paint a picture of a man who is drunk and alone, consumed with thoughts of the person he loves but can't have. He talks about the pain he feels, but it's also clear he's not ready to let her go.
The repetition of "be alone" throughout the song underscores the singer's fear of being abandoned and the sense that he's already alone in his love for her. In the end, he wonders if they're just friends and if their connection is just physical.
Overall, the song is a powerful expression of the pain of unrequited love and the loneliness that can come with it.
