Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They say you don't know what you got until it's gone
That's a lie, cause baby I knew all along
What goes up must come down
I threw you my heart
And watched it hit the ground
I can't keep up
You didn't leave a trail
You didn't get the mail
I had no clue your love was for sale
You wanna see me down?
Well, look at me now
Look at me now
No fairy tale
You got what you wanted and bailed
Pillow by side looks so empty without you
Sometimes I hold it and I think about you
Life's a dream with you
A nightmare without you
I don't know what I'ma do
I feel like a broken clock
The way you make me stand still
After all this time I hold you down like an anvil
Call me home depot, cause girl you know the damn drill
Girl you know the damn drill
Was close to putting you in my damn will
I was your jack going up the hill
Now you're someone else's Jill
Stuck in the matrix, need a red pill
Sick of the blues, sick of the blues, sick of the blues, sick of the blues
I am not amused, by being used, stuck on you like glue
After all you put me through
After all you put me through, my love for you remained true
I love where I'm at, I hate the view
I hate the view, without you
In "Without U," Kenny reflects on the pain and realization that comes after losing someone who was taken for granted. The song starts with the popular saying, "They say you don't know what you got until it's gone," but Kenny disagrees. He claims that he knew all along what he had, implying that he valued the relationship while it lasted. However, he witnessed the inevitable downfall of their connection, symbolized by throwing his heart for them and watching it hit the ground.
Kenny's frustration grows as he expresses his inability to keep up with the person he cared for. They didn't leave any traces or give any indication of their true intentions. He tries to communicate his feelings through a letter, but it goes unnoticed and doesn't reach its intended recipient. This lack of communication reveals that the person he loved had different expectations from the relationship, potentially even placing a price on their love, which Kenny was unaware of.
The chorus continues with Kenny acknowledging the emptiness left in his life without this person. He longs for their presence, even resorting to holding a pillow and thinking about them. Life feels incomplete without them, with the absence of their love contrasting with the bliss he experienced when they were together. Kenny is at a loss, unsure of how to move on or find happiness without their presence.
In the next verse, Kenny compares his emotional state to that of a broken clock, emphasizing how the person he lost has made him feel stagnant and unchanging. Despite this, he remains devoted and loyal to them, holding them down like an anvil, ready to support them. However, they have moved on to someone else, leaving Kenny feeling discarded. He likens himself to a Jack from the nursery rhyme "Jack and Jill," highlighting how he was the one to ascend the hill while they found someone else to be with.
Feeling trapped and disillusioned, Kenny references "The Matrix" film, wanting to escape the reality he finds himself in. He's tired of feeling down and hurt, expressing his frustration multiple times. Despite all the pain he endured, his love for this person remained true. He concludes the song by expressing dissonance with his current state, stating that he loves where he is but hates the view without them, signifying that the emptiness they left behind still lingers.
Overall, "Without U" delves into the turmoil and emotional aftermath of losing someone who was once taken for granted. Kenny confronts feelings of betrayal, confusion, and longing, highlighting the impact this person had on his life and the struggle to move on without them.

Sometimes I hold it and I think about you
Occasionally, I embrace the pillow and reminisce about you
Life's a dream with you
My existence felt blissful and surreal when I was with you

After all this time I hold you down like an anvil
Despite the duration, I continue to support and remain loyal to you like an immovable object
Call me home depot, cause girl you know the damn drill
Refer to me as Home Depot, as I am familiar with the repetitively predictable behavior you exhibit
Was close to putting you in my damn will
I almost considered making you a beneficiary in my last testament
I was your jack going up the hill
I was the one who worked hard and exerted effort to achieve our mutual goals
Now you're someone else's Jill
Now you belong to another person and are no longer mine
Stuck in the matrix, need a red pill
Trapped in an illusory or deceptive world and yearning for revelation or liberation
Sick of the blues, sick of the blues, sick of the blues, sick of the blues
Tired and exhausted from feeling sorrowful and dejected repeatedly
I am not amused, by being used, stuck on you like glue
I no longer find it amusing to be manipulated or taken advantage of while clinging to you desperately
After all you put me through
Despite the hardships and challenges you subjected me to
My love for you remained true
My affection and devotion to you remained genuine and steadfast
I love where I'm at, I hate the view
I appreciate my current situation, but I despise the perspective or outlook it offers without you
I hate the view, without you
I strongly dislike the way things appear or seem without your presence
