Closure
Gnash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just wanna give you closure
So maybe I can find some closure
To start over
So now I'm reaching out for closure
I just wanted to come over
And tell you everything I've never told ya
But now it's over
Open ended conversations
Unfulfilled obligations
You say rapping
Ain't an occupation
But God bless you for being patient
I know it's been up and down
I know you've been lost and found
I can see you in that wedding gown
They don't love me
They just love my sound
But I know you the real deal
So I gotta keep it real real
You sex appeal real ill
Used to smoke joints and watch kill bill
And I know, how cliche
I know my words don't mean much
But their all I got
Gotta give it a shot
Closure
Closure
I just wanna give you closure
So maybe I can find some closure
To start over
So now I'm reaching out for closure
I just wanted to come over
And tell you everything I've never told ya
But now it's over
They say breaking up is hard to do
But waking up is harder boo
And moving on is hardest ooh
But this feeling here is nothing new
I'll always have a thing for ya
Even tho I'm not the thing for ya
You know lowkey I miss what we had
Ok, highkey 'cause I miss you bad
I lost myself while I was tryna find you
I learned to love myself, I'm feeling brand new
And don't you think I don't got nothing to do
But life kinda sucks lonely here without you
Because all I got is me, weed and this music
All you got left is you, him, and me clueless
So I won't waste your time
And I wish you well
But sometimes this still hurts like hell
Closure
I just wanna give you closure
So maybe I can find some closure
To start over
So now I'm reaching out for closure
I just wanted to come over
And tell you everything I've never told ya
But now it's over
In Gnash's song "Closure", the artist expresses his desire to have closure after a break-up. He is seeking the opportunity to talk to his ex-partner and tell them everything he never had before. The song is an attempt by Gnash to move on and start over. He acknowledges that open-ended conversations and unfulfilled obligations have made it difficult for him to let go of the past. The lyrics reflect the artist's struggle to come to terms with the end of a relationship and his efforts to come to closure with his ex-partner.
Gnash also admits he knows his words don't mean much, but he has to give it a shot for his own wellbeing. He recognizes that he will always have a thing for his ex-partner, but he isn't what his ex-partner needs. He knows he lost himself while trying to find his ex-partner and that he has to learn to love himself to move on, which he acknowledges will be difficult.

I just wanna give you closure
I want to bring our relationship to a clear and final end
So maybe I can find some closure
By giving you closure, I hope to also find some resolution for myself
To start over
I want a fresh start now that our relationship is over
So now I'm reaching out for closure
I'm actively trying to resolve this situation so I can move forward
I just wanted to come over
I had a strong desire to talk to you in person
And tell you everything I've never told ya
I had secret feelings and thoughts that I never shared with you
But now it's over
Our relationship has officially ended and it's too late for me to say those things now
Open ended conversations
We talked, but the conversations never reached any definitive conclusions
Unfulfilled obligations
We had responsibilities to each other that were not met
You say rapping / Ain't an occupation
You didn't think my passion for music could be a real job
But God bless you for being patient
You were kind enough to support me despite your doubts
I know it's been up and down
Our relationship has had its ups and downs
I know you've been lost and found
You went through periods of confusion and clarity about your feelings for me
I can see you in that wedding gown
I can see a future where we could have gotten married
They don't love me / They just love my sound
People are attracted to my music, not necessarily to me as a person
But I know you the real deal
You are the one person who sees my true self
So I gotta keep it real real
I have to be honest with myself and with you
You sex appeal real ill / Used to smoke joints and watch kill bill
I find you very attractive and we used to have fun together
And I know, how cliche
I realize that what I'm saying is a common, overused sentiment
I know my words don't mean much / But their all I got / Gotta give it a shot
I know my words may not have a huge impact, but I have to try anyway
They say breaking up is hard to do / But waking up is harder boo / And moving on is hardest ooh
Ending a relationship is difficult, but adjusting to being on your own is even harder
But this feeling here is nothing new
This pain I'm feeling is familiar and has happened before
I'll always have a thing for ya
I'll always have some kind of feelings for you
Even tho I'm not the thing for ya
Even though we're not meant to be together
You know lowkey I miss what we had / Ok, highkey 'cause I miss you bad
I really miss being with you
I lost myself while I was tryna find you / I learned to love myself, I'm feeling brand new
Trying to make this relationship work caused me to forget about myself, but now I'm learning to love myself again
And don't you think I don't got nothing to do / But life kinda sucks lonely here without you
I have things to do, but I'm still lonely without you
Because all I got is me, weed and this music / All you got left is you, him, and me clueless
I have myself, my passion for music, and weed, while you have to deal with your new partner and me not knowing what will happen next
So I won't waste your time / And I wish you well / But sometimes this still hurts like hell
I don't want to take up any more of your time, and I hope your future is bright, but this situation still causes me pain
