Like That
Elroy Jetsetter Productions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stole my time and won't give it back
You got me feeling some type of way
Closure is what I need
Why you had to break my heart like that
She said she was on a break with her man
But I dreamed of wedding bands
In the bedroom I gave her my all
Damn, she did me so wrong
Why oh why oh why
Did I fall so fast
And why oh why oh why
Did I go so hard
For a love so cold
Left me all froze
One thing I gotta know...
Why you had to break my heart like that
Stole my time and won't give it back
You got me feeling some type of way
Closure is what I need
Why you had to break my heart like that
She drop down when she want to
If she hit me up then I make some time
Guess I can't say what I won't do
She gon get me more than twice
She savage down to the core
She tell me come and I'm following suit
She snatching hearts no remorse
I close my eyes to the truth
I can't deny it's only mine til the morning
She turns a lie to desire feenin' for it
Never seen a flex so cold hope she don't let go when she ride it ride it
That's when I lost control
Went too far off road
Now I wonder
Why you had to break my heart like that
Stole my time and won't give it back
You got me feeling some type of way
Closure is what I need
Why you had to break my heart like that
How can this be the last time
What you mean you still in love?
You ain't gotta cut no ties
But we can't go back to the way it was
I ain't gotta be the one
Now that I know what's up
If you wanna call it done
Losing is a must, just
Why you had to break my heart like that
Stole my time and won't give it back
You got me feeling some type of way
Closure is what I need
Why you had to break my heart like that
The lyrics of Elroy Jetsetter Productions's song "Like That" express the deep emotional turmoil and confusion experienced by the singer who is questioning why their heart was broken in such a painful manner. The repeated refrain "Why you had to break my heart like that" emphasizes the sense of betrayal and hurt caused by the actions of their love interest. The singer feels robbed of their time and is struggling to find closure in the aftermath of the relationship's end.
The second verse delves into the backstory of the relationship, revealing that the singer was led on by someone who claimed to be on a break with their partner but ultimately played with their emotions. The dream of a future together with wedding bells in the air turned out to be a mirage as the singer realized they were being deceived and used for temporary affection. The inner conflict of falling too fast and giving too much to a love that turned out to be cold pierces through the lyrics, leaving the singer feeling frozen and betrayed.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on the intensity of their feelings for this person who seemed to have a hold over them. The lyrics describe the seductive allure of the love interest who captivates with their physical and emotional charms, despite the knowledge of their manipulative nature. The inner turmoil of acknowledging the truth but being unable to resist the temptation of the toxic relationship is depicted through vivid imagery and introspective musings.
In the final verse, there is a sense of resignation and acceptance as the singer comes to terms with the reality of the situation. The realization that the relationship cannot go back to the way it was and the acknowledgment that losing is inevitable brings a sense of closure, albeit a painful one. The singer grapples with the conflicting emotions of still being in love but knowing that moving on is the necessary path forward. The plea for closure and understanding of why their heart was shattered encapsulates the raw vulnerability and depth of emotion conveyed throughout the entirety of the song.
