IKYMM
Baybe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You set a fire to watch it burn
We try our best and never learn
But you don't care
Has it got you somewhere?
You say you wanna try and try
But I'm too tired and you and I don't care
Has it got us somewhere?
Can't forget the way it felt from states apart
Just a call to end it all with broken hearts
It got us somewhere
Least it got us somewhere

Give me a sign
Is this it
What I've waited for?
Don't you forget
When I said this would be a war
If you're not the best I've had
Then why does it hurt so bad?
Say it again in my ear even if I don't
You'll be the one calling me when you're all alone
You were the one to leave
But I know you're missing me
I know you're missing me

Just let it out boy
I let you down
You're holding on but I'm holding out all night
Back when you were mine
I know I never told you how
I got your letter and threw it out
Sometimes I miss when you were mine

Know you didn't mean it when said it's done
But you were just a game and I have had my fun
Don't call me twice
Don't you call me twice

Give me a sign
Is this it
What I've waited for?
Don't you forget
When I said this would be a war
If you're not the best I've had
Then why does it hurt so bad?
Say it again in my ear even if I don't
You'll be the one calling me when you're all alone
You were the one to leave
But I know you're missing me
I know you're missing me

I know you think about that night
When I said you pull me in too tight
I didn't mean to make you cry
In the letters you write in the dead of night
Oh give us another try

Give me a sign
Is this it
What I've waited for?
Don't you forget
When I said this would be a war
If you're not the best I've had
Then why does it hurt so bad?
Say it again in my ear even if I don't
You'll be the one calling me when you're all alone
You were the one to leave
But I know you're missing me
I know you're missing me
You were the one to leave




But I know you're missing me
I know you're missing me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Baybe's song "IKYMM" (I Know You Miss Me) is about a tumultuous relationship between two people who are unsure if they should continue to try to make things work. The lyrics play out as a conversation between the two individuals, with one person acknowledging that they've both set a fire to watch it burn and that they keep trying their best but never seem to learn anything. Despite this, the other person doesn't seem to care and is still willing to try and make things work.


The song then delves into the memories of the two individuals, with lines like "Can't forget the way it felt from states apart" and "Sometimes I miss when you were mine." It's clear that they both have feelings for each other, but they can't seem to get past their issues. The chorus then repeats the idea that the person who left is missing the other, and that they'll eventually be the one to call.

You claim to want to make progress, but I am exhausted from futile attempts and feeling apathetic towards our situation. Have we made any actual progress?


Can't forget the way it felt from states apart Just a call to end it all with broken hearts It got us somewhere Least it got us somewhere
I still remember the strong connection we had despite the distance between us. A conversation led to a heartbreaking end, but at least it gave us some form of closure and taught us something.


Give me a sign Is this it What I've waited for?
I am hoping for a clear indication that this is the right path for me and what I've been hoping for.


Don't you forget When I said this would be a war If you're not the best I've had Then why does it hurt so bad?
I warned you that our relationship would be a challenge, so why am I feeling pain if you weren't the best partner I've had?


Say it again in my ear even if I don't You'll be the one calling me when you're all alone
Reassure me with your words, even if I don't fully believe them. You'll inevitably reach out to me when you are lonely.


You were the one to leave But I know you're missing me I know you're missing me
You ended our relationship, but I am aware that you still have feelings for me and are regretting your decision.


Just let it out boy I let you down You're holding on but I'm holding out all night
Express your feelings freely, I know that I disappointed you. You are trying to cling onto our relationship, but I am hesitant and resistant.


Back when you were mine I know I never told you how I got your letter and threw it out Sometimes I miss when you were mine
In the past, I regret not fully expressing my feelings towards you. I received your message, but I never responded, possibly out of fear or resentment. Sometimes, I miss the time when we were together.


Know you didn't mean it when you said it's done But you were just a game and I have had my fun Don't call me twice Don't you call me twice
I understand that you didn't actually mean to end our relationship, but to me, it was all just a game or source of entertainment. Don't try to contact me again after I have made my stance clear.


I know you think about that night When I said you pull me in too tight I didn't mean to make you cry In the letters you write in the dead of night Oh give us another try
I am aware that you still reflect on the moment we embraced too strongly, causing you to shed tears. I didn't intend to hurt you, and in the letters you write to me late at night, you plead for another chance to reconcile our relationship.


You were the one to leave But I know you're missing me I know you're missing me
Once again, you were the one who ended things, but I understand that you still have feelings for me and are longing for my presence.
