A Song for You
E.Y. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Off the shelf
Off the desk
Told you how I felt
What you meant and all the rest
I gave you everything
Now I sit with nothing left
I crashed my car, first thing I thought was you
And I thought we could too
Now it's clear to me goodbye means you're gone
And I can't believe it's true
I don't know why this is happening
But if you really wanna leave...
I've got one last song for the girl I knew
Who fixed my broken heart and then broke it too
Now a piece of me will always live in you
Here's one last song for you
You know too much about me, I know too much about you
And that's why can't just be friends
But I'll keep your secrets, hopes, and dreams too
Holding every single word we said
Bad and Good, we still understood
Didn't know this was floating in the air
Broke me down there's no turning back now
And there's nothing left to share
I don't know why this is happening
But if you really wanna leave...
I've got one last song for the girl I knew
Who fixed my broken heart and then broke it too
Now a piece of me will always live in you
Here's one last song for you
I saw myself in you
We were good for a while
Now I'm missing your smile
How did we end up here
Was it me, was it you
What did we do...
One last song for the girl I knew
Who fixed my broken heart and then broke it too
Now as long as I live I'll never forget you
Just don't forget me too
I've got one last song for the girl I knew
Who fixed my broken heart and then broke it too
Now a piece of me will always live in you
Here's one last song...
I've got one last song for the girl I knew
Who fixed my broken heart and then broke it too
Now a piece of you will always live in me
And that's how I'm going to leave
In the lyrics of "A Song For You," E.Y. talks about a relationship that has come to an end, leaving him with nothing but memories. The line "I took our pictures off the wall, off the shelf, off the desk" implies that he is trying to get rid of any reminder of the past. He has expressed his feelings and what his partner meant to him, but it didn't change anything. The line "Now it's clear to me goodbye means you're gone" shows his realization that the relationship is over and the hope of reconciliation is gone. He crashes his car and thinks of his partner, hoping they can reconcile the way Pam and Jim did on The Office.
He expresses his acceptance of the situation in the line "I don't know why this is happening, but if you really wanna leave..." He wrote a final song for his partner, who fixed his broken heart and then broke it too. He is holding on to the memories and a piece of her, as he sings the lines "Now a piece of me will always live in you, Here's one last song for you."

I took our pictures off the wall
I removed all the pictures that we had hung up together
Off the shelf
I took down the pictures that we had placed on the shelf
Off the desk
I removed the pictures that were on the desk
Told you how I felt
I shared my emotions with you
What you meant and all the rest
I expressed my feelings about what you meant to me and everything else we had gone through
I gave you everything
I gave you my all
Now I sit with nothing left
Now I feel empty and like there is nothing left in me
I crashed my car, first thing I thought was you
When I got into a car crash, you were the first thing that came to mind
Pam and Jim worked through it
I thought of how Pam and Jim from the TV show The Office had worked through their problems and wondered if we could too
And I thought we could too
I believed that we had the ability to work through our problems
Now it's clear to me goodbye means you're gone
I now understand that saying goodbye means that you are permanently leaving
And I can't believe it's true
I am in shock that this is really happening
I don't know why this is happening
I am unsure of why this is all happening
But if you really wanna leave...
However, if you truly want to leave
I've got one last song for the girl I knew
I have one final song for the girl I once knew
Who fixed my broken heart and then broke it too
You were the one who healed my heart when it was broken, but then also broke it again
Now a piece of me will always live in you
A part of me will always be a part of you
Here's one last song for you
So here's one final song for you
You know too much about me, I know too much about you
We know far too much about each other
And that's why can't just be friends
This is why we can't just remain friends
But I'll keep your secrets, hopes, and dreams too
However, I will always keep your secrets, hopes, and dreams close to my heart
Holding every single word we said
I am keeping in my memory every single word we ever spoke to each other
Bad and Good, we still understood
Through the good times and the bad, we still had an understanding of each other
Didn't know this was floating in the air
I was unaware of the tension that was present between us
Broke me down there's no turning back now
This situation has broken me down emotionally and there is no going back from it
And there's nothing left to share
There is nothing left that we can share
I saw myself in you
I saw a reflection of myself through you
We were good for a while
We had a good time while it lasted
Now I'm missing your smile
Now I miss the happiness that you brought to me
How did we end up here
I'm unsure of how we ended up in this situation
Was it me, was it you
I wonder if it was my fault or yours
What did we do...
What was it that caused us to end up like this?
Now as long as I live I'll never forget you
I will always carry the memory of you with me for the rest of my life
Just don't forget me too
I just hope that you don't forget me as well
Now a piece of you will always live in me
A part of you will always be with me
And that's how I'm going to leave
And that is how I will move forward

'Hey, Nate, how's life?'
I don't know, it's alright
I've been dealin' with some things like every human being
And really didn't sleep much last night
'I'm sorry,' that's fine
I just think I need a little me time
I just think I need a little free time
Little break from the shows and the bus rides, yeah
Last year I had a breakdown
Thoughts tellin' me I'm lost gettin' too loud
Had to see a therapist, then I found out
Somethin' funny's goin' on up in my house
Yeah, I started thinkin' maybe I should move out
You know, pack my cart, take a new route
Clean up my yard, get the noose out
Hang up my heart, let it air out
I've been searchin'
'What does that mean, Nate?' I've been learning
Grabbin' my keepsakes, leavin' my burdens
Well, I brought a few with me, I'm not perfect
Lookin' at the view, like this concerns me
Pickin' up the cues, right? I'm quite nervous
Hate it when I lose sight, life gets blurry
And things might hurt me
It's prolly gonna be a long journey, but hey
It's worth it, though
Cold world out there, kids, grab your coats
It's been a minute, I know, now I'm back to roam
Lookin' for the antidote to crack the code
Pretty vivid; I admit it, I'm in classic mode
Don't need pity given to me, but I can't condone
Talkin' down to me, I'ma have to crack your nose for crackin' jokes
I'm lookin' for the map to hope, you seen it?
Been makin' a whole lot of changes
Wrote a song about that, you should play it
I get scared when I walk on these stages
I look at the crowd and see so many faces, yeah
That's when I start to get anxious
That's when my thoughts can be dangerous
That's when I put on my makeup and drown in self-hatred
Forget what I'm saying, and—
Where'd the beat go?
Oh, ain't that somethin'?
Drums came in, you ain't see that comin'
Hands on my head, can't tell me nothin'
Got a taste of the fame, had to pump my stomach
Throw it back up like I don't want it
Wipe my face, clean off my vomit
OCD, tryna push my buttons
I said don't touch it, now y'all done it
I can be critical, never typical
Intricate with every syllable, I'm a criminal
Intimate, but never political, pretty visual
Even if you hate it, I'll make it feel like you're in it, though
You call me what you wanna, but never call me forgettable
Leave you deep in thought, I could never swim in the kiddie pool
Way that I been thinkin' is cinematic, it's beautiful
Man, I don't know if I'm makin' movies or music videos (Videos, videos)
Yeah, the sales can rise
Doesn't mean much though when your health declines
See, we've all got somethin' that we trapped inside
That we try to suffocate, you know, hopin' it dies
Try to hold it underwater but it always survives
Then it comes up out of nowhere like an evil surprise
Then it hovers over you to tell you millions of lies
You don't relate to that? Must not be as crazy as I am
The point I'm makin' is the mind is a powerful place
And what you feed it can affect you in a powerful way
It's pretty cool, right? Yeah, but it's not always safe
Just hang with me, this'll only take a moment, okay?
Just think about it for a second, if you look at your face
Every day when you get up and think you'll never be great
You'll never be great—not because you're not, but the hate
Will always find a way to cut you up and murder your faith (Woo)
I've been developin', take a look at the benefits
Nothin' to meddle with, I can never be delicate
Am I even relevant? That depends how you measure it
Take a measurement, then bag it up and give me the evidence
Pretty evident; dependable can never be tentative
I'm a gentleman, depending on if I think you're genuine
Pretty elegant, but not afraid to tell you to get a grip
Proper etiquette, I keep it to myself when I celebrate, ah
It's that time again
Better grab your balloons and invite your friends
Seatbelts back on, yeah, strap 'em in
Look at me, everybody, I'm smilin' big
On a road right now that I can't predict
Tell me 'Tone that down,' but I can't resist
Y'all know that sound, better raise your fist
The search begins, I'm back, so enjoy the trip, huh
@lilodeth6993
ill pop a fucking ballon like a cheap as clown
he's starting to piss me off
his fast rapping is getting on my nerves
so much missing in his rhymes
but eh i only worked on myself
unless it was school tricking my existance
they almost got me drained without a life
no family of mine now im pumping my fist
in attempt to get back in

@@lilodeth6993 ok buddy you clearly don't get what he's talking about so you should get out of here and go listen too Eminem the trash can because if your going too hate on something then don't watch or listen too it because if you don't like it then why are you even here some people actually understand this and understand what he means so if you're going too hate then go find people who care
