Split
Mr. Sam feat Kirsty Hawkshaw Lyrics

Yeah
Affirming agreement or acknowledgement

I got to let you know
Acknowledges the need to communicate something important

That's it's about that time
Indicates the timing is critical or important

Aye
Attention grabber, possibly an expression of frustration

I swear sometimes I want to pick up,
Expressing the urge to give in or give up

But I got to much of pride inside
Recognizing that pride is an obstacle

Sometimes I tell myself I got to put this pride aside
Acknowledging the need to overcome pride

But it aint benefiting me
Realizing that pride is causing harm

Cause I done tried and tried
Expressing effort and perseverance

I'm tired of trying
Feeling exhausted or defeated from trying too hard

Your stressing me like a nine to five
Feeling overwhelmed or burdened by stress

But fuck that the clock ticking bitch we out of time
Feeling a sense of urgency or importance

I done ran so many plays for you a thousand times
Feeling tired from investing so much time and energy

It would probably be equivalent to a thousand miles
Metaphorically comparing the effort to running a long distance

But I aint running no more cause it's time to lounge
Deciding to stop putting in effort and relax

Ohh, aye
A vocal expression of emotion or excitement, possibly indicating nervousness

You want your space fine
Respecting the other person's desire for space

But don't be catching attitudes when I don't face-time
Warning the other person against reacting with negativity or hostility

One minute you say that your leaving now your staying now
Expressing confusion and lack of consistency in the other person's actions

I think it's about that time
Reiterating the importance of timing

That I let you know
Acknowledging the need to communicate something important

It's time to let you go
Expressing the need to end the relationship

Cause shit aint the same no more
Recognizing that something has changed in the relationship

And I aint burn those bridges
Acknowledging that there is no animosity and no desire to ruin the relationship

But this shit I am not feeling
Expressing dissatisfaction or discomfort

Can't rewind from the begging
Recognizing the inability to undo past actions

Just got to continue living
Emphasizing the need to move forward in life

Aye I swear sometimes letting go that be the hardest
Acknowledging the difficulty in letting go

But regardless of who started I'm sick and tired of all this arguing shit
Expressing frustration with ongoing conflict

You said I'm giving up on this
Quoting the other person's statement and disagreeing with it

That's what you call it
Disagreeing with the other person's characterization of the situation

When I flooded you with love like the hurricane did New Orleans
Metaphorically comparing love to a natural disaster

Past tense and the presence I looked at you like a blessing
Reflecting on the past and present perspectives of the relationship

A angel sent down from heaven was cherishing every second
Metaphorically describing the other person as an angel and expressing appreciation

But umm
A filler phrase indicating hesitation or uncertainty

I don't think your comprehending the fact
Suggesting that the other person is not understanding the situation

That shit gone and out the window aint no getting it back
Recognizing that the opportunity to salvage the relationship is lost

And when I left I took my heart it aint no giving it back
Stating that the emotional investment is gone

You give me yours well then I'm sending it back
Rejecting the offer of the other person's emotional investment

No shipping attached cause
Humorously indicating that the return is not literal

I aint really on that shit no more
Expressing the lack of desire or interest in the relationship

Aye and it's a difference
Noticing and emphasizing the distinction between two things

Between having love and fighting for it
Recognizing that love is separate from the effort required to maintain it

Man but this shit right here
An exclamation indicating focus on the present situation

What the fuck is we fighting for shh
Questioning the reason for conflict and suggesting to be quiet

I think it's time that I let you know
Acknowledging the need to communicate something important

I got seven words for you girl it's time to let you go
Expressing the decision to end the relationship

Real talk
Emphasizing that the following statement is true and serious

I got to let you go
Reiterating the decision to end the relationship

I'll always love you till the end of time
Expressing eternal love and devotion

No-lie
A colloquial emphasis on honesty

But our time has come till the end of the line
Acknowledging that the relationship has reached its end

Bye-bye
A casual farewell

It's hard to sang this song and not cry
Expressing emotional pain and difficulty

You know why
Asking a rhetorical question

Cause at one point you was my sunshine
Reflecting on the positive aspects of the past relationship

My light aye
Emphasizing the importance of the other person in life

But things have changed we aint the same
Recognizing that the relationship is different now

When I kiss you aint the same
Noticing a change in intimacy

When I hold you aint the same
Noticing a change in physical affection

Tell me when did things change
Asking a rhetorical question

Why we push each other away
Reflecting on the negative aspects of the current relationship

Yell and scream and cause pain
Describing the toxic nature of the current relationship

What happened to the good old days
Reflecting on the positive aspects of the past relationship

Aye
Attention grabber, possibly an expression of frustration

I want you to know that I'm leaving
Clear statement of intention

I'm leaving
Reiterating the intention to end the relationship

Only way for me to stop the bleeding
Acknowledging the emotional pain of the relationship

The bleeding
Metaphorically referring to emotional pain

Hope you find what your really needing
Expressing a wish for the other person's well-being

What you needing
Asking the other person what they truly desire

Use to be my reason just for breathing
Reflecting on the importance of the other person in the past

When I said I loved you I meant that
Reassuring the other person of previous love and commitment

I meant that
Emphasizing the sincerity of the previous statement

But sometimes love gets defeated
Recognizing the difficult nature of love

Gets defeated
Acknowledgment of the loss of love

Don't want to hold you back no reason
Expressing the desire to not interfere with the other person's life

No reason
Emphasizing the lack of motivation or malice for ending the relationship

I guess that's my reason why
Providing a reason for the decision to end the relationship

I got to let you go
Reiterating the decision to end the relationship
