This Way
Khalid & H.E.R. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
