You & Me
Khalid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look at your attitude, that's why you never hear from me
Harassing me, trying to get into accounts
Back to back calling, I'm losing the count
You calling me evil, of course I'mma bounce
I don't gotta be with you when you just denounce
Making assumptions, you ain't trying to hear me
Running your mouth so I don't want you near me
You want it your way, you mad you can't steer me
Going through life, we young and stupid
Ain't no fairytale, this wasn't Cupid
How you mad at me cause I love music?
I ain't selfish, I'm just trying to use it
How many fucking times you gonna call me, huh?
How many fucking times you gonna try to log into all my shit?
This shit ain't working, huh?
Aiming to be great, I'm learning from mistakes
This might be my fate, I got these tears stuck on my face, yea
It's weird to say you love me, but flip the script and show hate
Issues with abandonment, so time is what you take, yea
I'm fighting off my demons and I don't got the time to waste
But these memories come back to me, flashbacks gripping around your waist
Kissing on your body, I made you wet like a rainy day
Decompressing, slide up in that pussy, I skate the pain away, yea
I'm a drug and you're addicted to me
Fatal with the attraction, I'm nervous you bring a bullet to me
You gotta let me make my own decisions, you just can't push it to me
Mad how I react when it's your fault, you took it to me
Recreating passwords, it's funny how you tell me the past ain't shit when the past hurts
Staying down, I'm trying to provide for my kids, I put the cash first
And I don't beg for understanding cause if you did, you wouldn't get mad first
But you get mad first
Yea
And you do crazy shit, putting words in my mouth, you tell me that I called you a crazy bitch
Lying like I put my hands on you, I ain't do no crazy shit
Crucify a nigga then expect me to turn around and switch
And I know it hurts to bleed, hurts the need
And talking down on me, that shit gon' hurt your plead
Hurt to see, look into my eyes, that shit gon' hurt to read
Hurt to lead, I tried to take you there but you was hurting me

Line by Line Meaning
Look, I'm just telling you what you don't wanna hear from me
I am being honest with you about things you may not want to hear
Look at your attitude, that's why you never hear from me
Your negative attitude is why I choose to avoid contact with you
Harassing me, trying to get into accounts
You are constantly bothering me and trying to invade my privacy
Back to back calling, I'm losing the count
You keep calling repeatedly, making it hard to keep track
You calling me evil, of course I'mma bounce
You accusing me of being evil is why I am walking away
I don't gotta be with you when you just denounce
I don't need to be around someone who constantly criticizes me
Making assumptions, you ain't trying to hear me
You jump to conclusions and refuse to listen to what I have to say
Running your mouth so I don't want you near me
You talk too much and that's why I don't want you close to me
Why the fuck would I want you to fear me
I have no desire for you to be afraid of me
You want it your way, you mad you can't steer me
You are upset because you can't control or influence me

This Way (feat. H.E.R.)
You say I'm trippin', bullsh*t
You're the one to make me do sh*t
You're the one to make me feel it
The feeling of stupid
I was in your corner when you were putting me through sh*t
Now you wanna leave
Know you leaving me was foolish
You left me this scar on my heart
And I left you a brand new car
How nice of you
The price of true love
True love is absolute
So what more can I say?
You make me this way
What more can I say?
You make me this way
Yeah, all of these excuses
Say I'm the one that made you ruthless
But you're the reason I'm crazy
And with you I feel useless
I let you have it
You took me for granted
Always wanna play the victim
When they don't know the truth is
You left me this scar on my heart
When I'd never take it that far (oh)
Why would you say that it was true love
If true love is absolute
What more can I say?
What more can I say?
You make me this way
You make me this way
What more can I say?
What can I say?
You make me this way
I tried to stay the night
You won't let me inside
Oh, you push me away
You'll never change
Just another fight
Between you and your pride
Oh, what more can I say?
What more can I?
What more can I say? (Say)
You make me this way
You make me this way
What more can I say?
What more?
You make me this way (way)
What, can I?
Este caminho (feat. HER)
Você diz que eu estou viajando, idiota
Você é o único a me fazer sh * t
Você é o único a me fazer sentir isso
A sensação de estupidez
Eu estava no seu canto quando você estava me fazendo passar por merda
Agora você quer sair
Sei que você me deixando era tolo
Você me deixou essa cicatriz no meu coração
E eu te deixei um carro novo
Que gentileza sua
O preço do amor verdadeiro
O verdadeiro amor é absoluto
Então o que mais eu posso dizer?
Você me faz assim
O que mais posso dizer?
Você me faz assim
Sim, todas essas desculpas
Diga que eu sou o único que fez você implacável
Mas você é a razão pela qual sou louco
E com você me sinto inútil
Eu deixo você ter isso
Você me deu como garantido
Sempre quer jogar a vítima
Quando eles não sabem a verdade é
Você me deixou essa cicatriz no meu coração
Quando eu nunca levo isso tão longe (oh)
Por que você diria que era amor verdadeiro
Se o amor verdadeiro é absoluto
O que mais posso dizer?
O que mais posso dizer?
Você me faz assim
Você me faz assim
O que mais posso dizer?
O que posso dizer?
Você me faz assim
Eu tentei ficar a noite
Você não vai me deixar entrar
Você me afasta
Você nunca vai mudar
Apenas mais uma briga
Entre você e seu orgulho
Oh, o que mais eu posso dizer?
O que mais eu posso?
O que mais posso dizer? (Dizer)
Você me faz assim
Você me faz assim
O que mais posso dizer?
O que mais?
Você me faz assim (caminho)
O que eu posso?
