Love 2 Remember
Chris Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why do we scream?
I wish it was better
I don't want you to leave
I'm tryna make peace babe
These tears run down my face
So I close my eyes, but we both cry
She said she tired of my shit, she wanna quit
The funny thing, I've been good to her
Not doing shit
But she think that I've been fuckin' with
Keisha, Latoya and Lisa
Dirty Diana, Nicki and Amber
Got to be out of your damn mind
Tell me what's the deal with you?
There's something wrong, I feel it too
We hardly see each other
And now you wanna talk about space
You changed
You wanna leave me but you can't tell me
Why do we argue?
Why do we scream?
I wish it was better, I don't want you to leave
So sick and tired of drinking this bottle
Contemplating the pill overdose
I think that one shot will stop the pain
And now I'm sleeping, I just wanted you to love me
Got myself on speed dial, 9-1-1
I got a whole in my heart,one bullet and a gun
Ready for the pills, running out of time
Sitting here waiting, just to say goodbye to my love
Farewell, I'm gonna miss you
You'll always go back to the day when I said girl
Tell me what's the deal with you?
There's something wrong, I feel it too
We hardly see each other
And now you wanna talk about space
You changed
You wanna leave me but you can't tell me
Why do we argue?
Why do we scream?
I wish it was better, I don't want you to leave
So sick & tired of drinking this bottle
Contemplating the pill overdose
I think that one shot will stop the pain
And now I'm sleeping, I just wanted you to love me
This is a love to remember
Yeah, this is a love to remember
Don't cry, don't cry
We'll meet again once upon a time
This is a love to remember
Yeah, this is a love to remember
Don't cry, don't cry
We'll meet again once upon a time
In "Love 2 Remember," Chris Brown tackles the emotional turmoil of a failing relationship. The lyrics express the difficulty of trying to hold on to a love that is slipping away. The opening lines, "Why do we argue? Why do we scream?" set the tone for the song, emphasizing the pain and frustration of a couple who can't seem to get things right. Brown questions what's going on and laments the fact that things aren't better between him and his partner.
In the second verse, Brown tries to make peace with his lover, but both he and she end up crying as they confront the harsh reality that their relationship may be over. He expresses confusion over her sudden desire for space and wonders why she's changed. He reveals his own feelings of desperation, contemplating substance abuse and even suicide, while trying to get her to stay.
The chorus provides a glimmer of hope, as Brown acknowledges that this love is worth remembering. He poses the idea that they may meet again someday in the future, hinting that the relationship still holds special meaning to him. The closing lines of the song, "This is a love to remember, yeah this is a love to remember, don't cry, don't cry, we'll meet again once upon a time," leave the listener with a bittersweet sense of longing for a lost love.
