U
Myah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You called, I know
I won't
Pick up my phone
But I wish
That I can
Hear your voice
For a second
'Cuz it hurts ('cuz it hurts)
You know
It's been years
And I still cry

You called
Oh, I know (I know)
I ignored it
Wish I didn't though

No one makes me feel like you do
I love you, I love you. (oh)
I wish I didn't have to leave so soon
I love you, I love you. (oh)

I don't believe in much
But I believe in me and you
And I know that I will stay away
I hope that you don't do the same

I don't believe in much
But I believe in me and you
And I know that I will stay away
I hope that you don't do the same

My heart spins
My mind aches
I drown myself in thoughts that I can't take

My baby
I know you're here
But I'm still scared
I love in fear

So please don't
Don't leave me here
You're all I need
And that was clear

You called
Oh, I know
I ignored it
Wish I didn't though

No one makes me feel like you do
I love you, I love you. (oh)
When you're not here your love haunts my room
I feel you, I feel you here. (oh)

I don't believe in much
But I believe in me and you
And I know that I will stay away
I hope that you don't do the same

I don't believe in much
But I believe in me and you
And I know that I will stay away
I hope that you don't do the same. (the same)





Ah, I won't
Oh, I won't. (Mmh)

She admits that no one makes her feel the way he does, and that her heart spins and her mind aches with thoughts of what could have been.


The singer's fear of being left alone is evidence of her unwillingness to move on. She feels lost without him, acknowledging that he is all she needs.
