Break Up
Khleo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So you love me... But you wonna leave me?
I-I-I'm sorry I guess I just I'm just not understanding this concept dude.
They told me not to do this... Too bad!

So you wonna leave me hot & dry.
You think it's time to end this right.
Said we'd be together forever, so technically you lied.
Treat you like a queen and bought you everything that you deserve.

I'm a full course meal other dudes is just H'orderves.
They ain't filling nothing up, you guess aint order bank accounts
I be running my city so others only run they mouths
I loved you girl, you had my heart inside your hands, though love.
You rubbed it up against that paper with the sand.
I just don't understand, I guess that diss was something that was coming.
Super bad relationship, but you had all of my Mclovin.
So you wonna dip, that's cool, another one can replace you, the situation really sucks.
This what happens with no trust, this what happens with no faith, this what happens when you take a girl like you & a guy like me. You quick to be with me also quick to wonna leave.
Now you're known as that dumb b***h girl who left Kle. Hah!
I know I be, gone
I know I be, gone
I know I be, (flirtin with them girls)
I know I be, said I'd be right back, but take too long.
I know I be, saying I be thankful but I don't
I know I be, Making you them promises
Then breaking you're heart again
Telling you she wasn't, who she was
Then we argueing, but babyyyy (I love you)

I loved you girl, yeah I said yeah I meant it.
Don't wonna get a call next week saying you regret it.
Nope. You made your decision, I no longer have the need deal with somebody who's just too damn hard to please.
Your girls tried to get at me, direct message on the Twitter.
Now that we done I'm getting texts from your older sister.
"Do you wonna hang, she ain't know what she had. I can treat you better, & she always been like that"
So tell me what am I to do cos I'm not looking out for you anymore.
You're out the door panties dropping to the floor you know I'm freaky to the core.
The love that we had was pure, you're pride doesn't have a cure.

Now the liquor starts to pour, now the feelings comin up. Now you calling all drunk saying how you miss me & how you wonna kiss me.
Saying how much you cared saying we're the prefect pair.
Now you calling for your girl
"Please hold my hair"
Yeaaaaaaaaah. Should leave that liquor alone love, you know you an easy drunk, right?
Tried to tell em

Khleo!

Overall Meaning

In the first verse of Khleo's song "Break Up," the singer expresses his confusion and disbelief over his girlfriend's decision to leave him. He emphasizes that he loved her and treated her well, but she lied about their supposed forever-together plans. He also points out that he provided for her as if she was royalty while other men could only offer crumbs. Despite this, his girlfriend damaged their relationship and his heart by disrespecting his love, and she'll eventually realize her mistake. Khleo implies that while he may seem flirtatious or forgetful at times, he never intentionally lied to her, unlike his girlfriend. In the end, he acknowledges that their relationship lacked trust and faith, probably leading to their separation.

In the second verse, Khleo confronts his girlfriend's regret and tries to move on from their relationship. He claims that he meant every word he said concerning their love, making it hard for him to accept her rejection. Now that she's gone, he has no qualms about telling her that he won't tolerate someone who demands too much. Apparently, her friends and family are also trying to swoop in on him, seeing him as a catch, unlike his previous girlfriend. Khleo acknowledges that he can be "freaky to the core," so once he has moved on, there's no hope of reconciliation. His former girlfriend, on the other hand, starts to regret her decision and calls him drunk, hoping to salvage their relationship. However, Khleo advises her to stop drinking, reminding her of how easy it is to make poor decisions.

Overall, the song captures the aftermath of a failed romantic relationship, with one partner realizing too late the consequences of her actions, while the other tries to find closure and move on.
