Chris Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Life of the party, pourin' shots of the brown
And you see me from the street but I don't turn around
Would you say, "Hi"? Would you keep going?
If I told your family that you didn't mean nothing
If you posted about it and I didn't even comment
If the songs weren't true, but you still feel something
Oh, don't go reaching out
'Cause you can't have everything
Your head and your heart won't feel the same
Even if it feels like it every time
Don't check on me
If we're not together, then it's probably for a reason
Every heartbreak has its season
It ain't always summer in June
Might run across your mind but don't worry 'bout me, no
My heart is back in one piece, it ain't skipped a beat, no
Feeling rested up, I ain't missing sleep, no oh
Don't take it personal if I can't reply now
I'm distant 'cause I don't wanna be reached now
Won't let the ghosts of our past weigh my future down
I'm liberated
Energy's like a circle, it comes back around
Reciprocated
Don't shed no more tears
Won't gain no empathy from me
In the upcoming years
Oh, I don't need your pity
Don't check on me
Oh, don't check on me
If we're not together, then it's probably for a reason
Every heartbreak has its season
And it looks like winter for you
Ain't call you back 'cause I let it go
I had to focus energy and just let it flow
And when we ride low, we're already gone
It wouldn't mean anymore to me now
I know it hurts you so bad just to see me happy
That I finally moved on, and you thought it wouldn't happen
At times I used to cry, wouldn't know when I was laughing
But I act like I didn't notice
Oh, don't go reaching out
'Cause you can't have everything
You can't kill a flame with gasoline
Even if it feels like it every time (No matter how hard you try)
Don't check on me
If we're not together, then it's probably for a reason
Every heartbreak has its season
It ain't always summer in June
Don't check on me
If we're not together, then it's probably for a reason
Every heartbreak has its season
It ain't always summer in June
The lyrics to Chris Brown's "Don't Check on Me," featuring Justin Bieber and Ink, speaks to the complicated feelings after a breakup. Brown asks if he's out enjoying himself and his ex-partner sees him, would they say, "Hi," or "keep going?" He then asks if they realized that the songs they wrote about each other weren't true, would they still come looking for him? The chorus then serves as a reminder that if they're not together, there's probably a reason, and every heartbreak has its season.
Brown's verse reveals that he's moved on and doesn't want to be reached out to, and he won't shed any more tears or waste any energy on the past. He's happy, and he doesn't want anyone's pity. Ink's verse is a bit more emotional, suggesting that his ex thought he would never move on, and he used to cry but would hide it with laughter. However, he still reminds his ex that if they're not together, it's probably for a reason.
Overall, "Don't Check on Me" is a powerful track that speaks to the need to move on after a breakup and not dwell on the past. It's a reminder that it's normal for heartbreak to have its season, and that even though it may feel like it's always summer when in love, it won't always be that way.

What goes around, comes around
Reciprocated
Returned in kind
Don't shed no more tears
Stop crying
Won't gain no empathy from me
You won't get any sympathy from me
In the upcoming years
In the years to come
Oh, I don't need your pity
I don't want your sympathy
If we're not together, then it's probably for a reason
If we're not a couple, there's a reason for it
And it looks like winter for you
It seems like a difficult time for you
Ain't call you back 'cause I let it go
I didn't call you back because I moved on
I had to focus energy and just let it flow
I needed to concentrate and let things happen naturally
And when we ride low, we're already gone
When things get tough, we're already moving on
It wouldn't mean anymore to me now
It doesn't matter to me anymore
I know it hurts you so bad just to see me happy
It pains you to see me happy without you
That I finally moved on, and you thought it wouldn't happen
You didn't believe that I could move on, but I did
At times I used to cry, wouldn't know when I was laughing
I used to be confused about my emotions
But I act like I didn't notice
I pretended not to see
You can't kill a flame with gasoline
Adding fuel to the fire only makes it burn brighter
Don't check on me
Stop monitoring me
No matter how hard you try
Even if you make an effort
