So I'm gettin' high all week without you
Popping pills, thinking about you (thinking about you)
Runnin' away from you takes time and pain
And I don't even want to
So I'm gettin' high all week without you
Popping pills, thinking about you
I wish I didn't have a heart to love you (I wish I didn't have a heart to love you)
I wish I didn't play a part to break you (I wish I didn't play a part to break you)
I wish I didn't do a lot of the shit I do (the shit I do)
And I wish you didn't too
Runnin' away from you takes time and pain
And I don't even want to
So I'm gettin' high all week without you
Popping pills, thinking about you
I wish I didn't have a heart to love you (I wish I didn't have a heart to love you)
I wish I didn't play a part to break you (I wish I didn't play a part to break you)
I wish I didn't do a lot of the shit I do (the shit I do)
And I wish you didn't too
Tell me that you hate me
Sometimes life gets fucked up (fucked up)
That's why we get fucked up (we get fucked up)
I can still feel your touch
I still do those same drugs
Sometimes life gets fucked up (fucked up)
That's why we get fucked up (fucked up)
I can still feel your touch
I still do those same drugs
That we used to do
I was used to you (I was used to you)
"What have you been through?"
She asked me
Every fun kind of abuse
If you love me too
You would give me you (you would give me you)
Hide me in your room
Don't tell me the truth
Everything you said (everything you said)
Stares inside my head (stares inside my head)
All the shit you said
All the blood I bled
Sometimes life gets fucked up (fucked up)
That's why we get fucked up (we get fucked up)
I can still feel your touch
I still do those same drugs
Sometimes life gets fucked up (fucked up)
That's why we get fucked up (fucked up)
I can still feel your touch
I still do those same drugs
The lyrics to Lil Peep's "U Said" explore the pain and difficulty of trying to escape from a complicated relationship. The singer acknowledges that running away from their lover takes time and causes pain, but they don't really want to leave. Instead, they turn to drugs and pills to try to ease the pain and occupy their mind. But no matter how much they try to escape, they still wish that they could stop loving their partner and that they didn't play a part in breaking them. The repeated refrain of "sometimes life gets fucked up" expresses the feeling of helplessness and confusion in the face of a relationship that is both toxic and irresistible.
The lines, "I still do those same drugs / that we used to do" suggest that the singer is trying to recapture the feeling of being with their partner by indulging in the same behaviors they used to share. The bridge, with its lines about "every fun kind of abuse," hints at the complexities of the relationship and the singer's willingness to put up with mistreatment in order to be close to their lover.
Overall, the lyrics to "U Said" depict a relationship that is both destructive and compelling, capturing the intense emotion and confusion that can arise when two people become entangled in a toxic cycle.
