Letto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
′Coz u gonna leave this town
Leave me cold leave me alone
But it won't show you my frown
Reff I:
′Coz u and I... just u and I
There's never been us
Love and laughter
Spring to winter
With you my dear friend
Do you remember my love fairy
That′s look scary
I know that′s the word you said
Keeps me thinking and wondering uuh hu...
What is this burning feeling
Reff I I:
'Coz u and I... just u and I
There′s never been us
Don't ask me why
Need to move forward
But I′m too coward
On u my friend
Reff I I I:
U and I... just u and I
There's never been us
Don′t ask me why
Just give me your finger
That one in the middle
Let's laugh on this matter
Maybe u and me
Just never meant to be
Friendship never ends
Is not so bad anyhow
Maybe u and me
Just u and me
I really meant to be
Just u
The lyrics to Letto's song U & I speak of a heartbreaking moment where the singer's significant other is about to leave town, taking away any chances of being together. The singer is left alone, but doesn't show their pain. The chorus talks about the fact that there has never been an "us" and that love and laughter can turn into pain and disappointment. The song then goes on to talk about memories shared between the singer and their friend, and how the idea of them separating is difficult to bear. The second chorus speaks to the idea of moving forward, but being too coward to do so, and the final chorus brings the song full circle with the idea that maybe the two were only meant to be friends, but that friendship never truly ends.
The lyrics appear to be about a relationship that never truly materialized, but where strong feelings and deep connections were formed. The song talks about the difficulty of moving on, even though the singer knows they need to. It is a relatable message that speaks to the idea that sometimes we hold onto relationships and people that we know are not right for us and struggle to move forward. The chorus that repeats "'Cause you and I... just you and I, there's never been an us" is a powerful message about being honest with ourselves and acknowledging when a relationship is not meant to be romantic.
Overall, the lyrics to Letto's U & I speak to the pain of lost love and the struggle to move on. It is a relatable message that many can connect to and echoes the idea that sometimes friendships can be just as important and meaningful as romantic partners.
