Bea Miller 6LACK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gave you everything you wanted
But I started feeling haunted, by me
'Cause it wasn't what I wanted
And you were trying so hard with your pictures to look richer
That's not what I want to do
Your distractions were exactly what I needed
It's not you, it's me (it's me)
I'm the only one I need (ooh-ooh)
It's not you, baby (baby)
'Cause I'm leaving you for me (ooh-ooh)
I don't want you blaming yourself
It's bad for your health
'Cause honestly (ooh)
It's not you, it's me (it's me)
I'm the only one I need (ooh-ooh)
I'm sure someone's gonna love you, not me
And love all the things that you do
Took a minute but it hit me, finally
That I'm not the person for you
And I wanna lay under the stars
And hear the ocean while I'm talking bullshit
High with the people that are real
Don't make me feel like an idiot
It's not you, it's me (it's me)
I'm the only one I need (ooh-ooh)
It's not you, baby (baby)
'Cause I'm leaving you for me (ooh-ooh)
I don't want you blaming yourself
It's bad for your health
'Cause honestly (ooh)
It's not you, it's me (it's me)
I'm the only one I need (haha, ooh-ooh)
I'm the only one, I'm the, I'm the only one
I'm the only one, it's me
I'm the only one, I'm the, I'm the only one
I'm the only one, it's me
Who you gon' call when it all fall down?
I just get a little lost, now I'm all found
Missed call now (missed call now) (brr)
Block 'em all now (block 'em all now) (woo)
I was throwed out (I was throwed out)
But I'm on now
Big cap, why lie?
You are not the one I wanted
(You are not the one I wanted)
And I started feeling haunted by me
'Cause I know now what I wanted is
Peace of mind
It's not you, I figured out I'm wasting time
It'll be fine, self-love ain't selfish
My love reigns supreme, you felt it, yeah
It's not you, it's me (it's me)
I'm the only one I need (ooh-ooh)
It's not you, baby (baby)
'Cause I'm leaving you for me (ooh-ooh)
(I'm the only one)
I don't want you blaming yourself
It's bad for your health
'Cause honestly (ooh)
(I'm the only one)
It's not you, it's me (it's me)
I'm the only one I need

But I started feeling haunted, by me
I began feeling tormented by my own actions
'Cause it wasn't what I wanted
I did these things even though it wasn't what I truly wanted
And you were trying so hard with your pictures to look richer
You were putting in a lot of effort to appear wealthy in your pictures
That's not what I want to do
I don't want to focus on projecting an image of wealth
Your distractions were exactly what I needed
I found your distractions to be helpful for me
Now I see the truth
I have realized the truth
It's not you, it's me (it's me)
The issue is not with you, it's with me
I'm the only one I need (ooh-ooh)
I only need myself to be satisfied
I don't want you blaming yourself

Took a minute but it hit me, finally
It took some time, but I finally realized
That I'm not the person for you
That I'm not the right person for you
And I wanna lay under the stars
I want to lie down under the stars
And hear the ocean while I'm talking bullshit
And listen to the sound of the ocean while I'm chatting nonsense
High with the people that are real
With genuine people while being high
Don't make me feel like an idiot
Don't make me feel stupid
I'm the only one, I'm the, I'm the only one
I am the only one who matters

I was kicked out
But I'm on now
But I'm doing well now
Big cap, why lie?
Avoiding lies
You are not the one I wanted
You are not the person I want
(You are not the one I wanted)
(You are not the person I want)
And I started feeling haunted by me
I began to feel tormented by my own actions
'Cause I know now what I wanted is peace of mind
Because I now understand that what I wanted was peace of mind
It'll be fine, self-love ain't selfish
Everything will be okay, and loving oneself is not selfish
My love reigns supreme, you felt it, yeah
My self-love is the most important thing, and you noticed it
