This Way
Khalid & H.E.R. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say I'm trippin', bullshit
You're the one to make me do shit
You're the one to make me feel it
The feeling of stupid
I was in your corner
When you were putting me through shit
Now you wanna leave
No, 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)
Whoa, can't lie

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Khalid & H.E.R.'s song "This Way" speak about a relationship that has gone through its share of ups and downs. The opening lines set the tone for the song with the singer feeling dismissed and perhaps even gaslighted. The singer states that they are being told they are "tripping," but they are not the ones who caused the conflict in the first place. They blame their significant other for making them feel stupid and putting them through a lot of stress. The singer notes that they were supportive of their partner when they were going through a difficult time, but now that they want to leave, the singer feels the decision is foolish. This sentiment is further affirmed when the singer notes that their partner has left a scar on their heart, and in response, the singer has only given them a car.


The chorus appears to be a plea for understanding from the listener, as the singer questions what else they can say about their situation. They acknowledge that their partner has made them this way, but it's unclear if they mean the feeling of being dismissed or the intense emotions they are experiencing in response to the relationship's problems. The second verse feels like a direct response to the first, with the singer questioning the reasons behind their partner's actions. They point out that despite the partner's claims of being the victim, the truth is that they took the singer for granted. The singer questions why their partner would claim that their love was true if it led to so much heartache between them. The verse concludes with the chorus being repeated, suggesting that the singer is still searching for answers about their feeling dismissed by their partner.


In the bridge, the singer appears to be trying to salvage the relationship, noting that they tried to stay the night but were turned away by their partner. However, they also acknowledge that their partner will never change, and this realization has led to another fight between them. The chorus repeats one final time, ending the song on a somewhat unresolved note.


Line by Line Meaning

You say I'm trippin', bullshit
You accuse me of overreacting, but that's not true


You're the one to make me do shit
It's only because of you that I do things that I later regret


You're the one to make me feel it
It's because of you that I experience this pain


The feeling of stupid
It makes me feel foolish or dumb


I was in your corner
I supported and stood by you


When you were putting me through shit
Even when you were treating me badly or unfairly


Now you wanna leave
But now you want to abandon me


No, you leaving me was foolish
I don't think it was wise or sensible for you to leave me


You left me this scar on my heart
You caused emotional pain or trauma that will affect me for a long time


And I left you a brand new car
As a gesture of love, I gave you an expensive gift


How nice of you, the price of true love
You repaid my love with hurtful behavior


True love is absolute
True love is pure, without conditions


So what more can I say?
I've already expressed my feelings about this


Yeah, all of these excuses
You're coming up with justifications for your actions


Say I'm the one that made you ruthless
You're blaming me for your cruel or merciless behavior


But you're the reason I'm crazy
It's because of you that I'm losing my sanity


And with you I feel useless
Being with you makes me feel worthless or unimportant


I let you have it
I allowed you to do what you wanted, without resistance


You took me for granted
You didn't appreciate or value me the way you should have


Always wanna play the victim
Even though you're responsible for the problem, you act like the one suffering


When they don't know the truth is
When others are unaware of what really happened


When I'd never take it that far (oh)
I wouldn't have gone to such hurtful lengths


Why would you say that it was true love
Why would you label our relationship as true love?


What more can I say?
I don't have anything else to say about this situation


I tried to stay the night
I attempted to spend the night with you


You won't let me inside
You refused to allow me into your life or heart


Oh, you push me away
You reject or distance yourself from me


You'll never change
I don't believe you have the ability to change your behavior


Just another fight
It's another argument or disagreement


Between you and your pride
The root of the problem is your ego or sense of self-importance


What more can I say? (Say)
I really don't have anything else to add to this discussion


You make me this way
It's because of you that I behave in this manner


Whoa, can't lie
I can't deceive or hide my feelings any longer

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?
