Get You Back
Rhett & Link Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's just temporary pain reduction (temporary pain reduction)
So tell me, is it him or me cuz I don't wanna play these games no more
(Don't wanna play these games no more)
I'm feeling like a simp for you, and I don't wanna do that
So what the fuck you tryna do right now?
My games, my games you said you'd never change
Being with you is like being in traffic tryna switch lanes
Thought being with you forever was possible
But some other guy caught your opticals
Talkin' bout your eyes, I said I'd love you, I never lied
I gave you my whole heart, and now I have to pay the price, that's fucked up
But I guess you never were in love
It's nice to see that the one that fucked up wasn't me
I could never love you again, no
Again, no
So who, are you tryna play?
You stupid bitch, stupid bitch
I can tell you a million things to make you feel okay (make you feel okay)
That's just temporary pain reduction (reduction of every pain)
So tell me, is it him or me cuz I don't wanna play these games no more
(I don't wanna play these games no more)
I'm feeling like a simp for you, and I don't wanna do that
So what the fuck you tryna do right now? (Yeah, yeah, look)
You livin a life that you think that I want
I ain't be prayin for you or to god
I swear that I knew all of this from the start
Never follow my head but I follow my heart
Every new day we be breaking apart
What are we missin? Girl where is the spark?
I was so lost, couldn't get on my path
But now that you're gone I ain't free from the dark
If you be hatin, you know that it's god
If you be hatin, I know it's on god
I ain't be playing just save all the talk
I ain't be playing you say that it's wrong
And I drive far
I - yeah - get it up - I'm mixing up
I flip right down
I'm - sippin up - I flip it up, this cup right now, yeah
Like damn
I fucked it up
But it's too far gone now
If you know, you know
I'm gone
The lyrics to Rhett & Link's song "Get You Back" describe the frustration and pain of being in a relationship where one person is not fully committed. The song's narrator is trying to make their partner see that their attempts to comfort them with empty words are not enough, and that they need to make a choice between him and the other guy. The chorus "I can tell you a million things to make you feel okay, that's just temporary pain reduction" suggests that the partner's attempts to make the singer feel better are only a short term fix, and that they need to address the underlying issues in the relationship.
The verses reveal the singer's feelings of being trapped and manipulated by his partner, and his sense of being taken for granted. The line "Being with you is like being in traffic tryna switch lanes with two cars right beside you, it's impossible" captures the sense of helplessness and confusion that comes with trying to navigate a relationship with someone who is not fully committed. The singer also expresses his frustration with being called a "simp", which is a derogatory term used to describe someone who acts excessively deferential or submissive to their partner.
Overall, the song is a powerful meditation on the pain and confusion of trying to navigate a relationship with someone who is not fully invested, and the sense of betrayal and hurt that comes with realizing that the person you love is not who you thought they were.

I can tell you a million things to make you feel okay
I can provide temporary distraction to ease your pain
That's just temporary pain reduction
Those solutions won't fix the underlying issue
So tell me, is it him or me cuz I don't wanna play these games no more
I'm tired of being strung along, who do you really want?
I'm feeling like a simp for you, and I don't wanna do that
I feel foolish and desperate for being so devoted to you
So what the fuck you tryna do right now?
What are you trying to accomplish with our relationship?
My games, my games you said you'd never change
You promised me you wouldn't play manipulative games, but you haven't kept your word
Being with you is like being in traffic tryna switch lanes
Our relationship is stuck, like trying to change lanes in busy traffic
With two cars right beside you, it's impossible
There's no clear path forward for us, it seems impossible
Thought being with you forever was possible
I used to believe we could last forever
But some other guy caught your opticals
You've been drawn to someone else
Talkin' bout your eyes, I said I'd love you, I never lied
I honestly told you I loved you, and I meant it
I gave you my whole heart, and now I have to pay the price, that's fucked up
I feel hurt and betrayed that my love wasn't enough for you
But I guess you never were in love
Maybe you never truly loved me after all
It's nice to see that the one that fucked up wasn't me
I'm glad to realize that I'm not the one responsible for our relationship ending
I could never love you again, no
I'm done with this relationship, I can never love you again
Again, no
Just to emphasize that point, never again
So who, are you tryna play?
Who are you trying to manipulate and deceive?
You stupid bitch, stupid bitch
Insulting language for how angry and hurt I am
You livin a life that you think that I want
You're trying to be someone you think I admire, but it's not working
I ain't be prayin for you or to god
I'm not wishing you well, and I'm not seeking divine intervention for our relationship
I swear that I knew all of this from the start
I knew deep down that our relationship might not work out
Never follow my head but I follow my heart
I tend to rely on emotions more than logic
Every new day we be breaking apart
Every day we're drifting further apart
What are we missin? Girl where is the spark?
What is lacking in our relationship? What happened to the passion?
I was so lost, couldn't get on my path
I felt lost and directionless until now
But now that you're gone I ain't free from the dark
Even though I've moved on from you, I'm still struggling internally
If you be hatin, you know that it's god
If you hate me or wish me ill, it's ultimately up to a higher power
If you be hatin, I know it's on god
And if you do hate me, mentally, it's your own problem
I ain't be playing just save all the talk
I'm not playing games with you, let's just cut to the chase
I ain't be playing you say that it's wrong
I'm not trying to deceive you, though you might think otherwise
And I drive far
I'm putting distance between us, emotionally and physically
I - yeah - get it up - I'm mixing up
Unclear what this line means exactly, but could refer to him trying to get past their relationship
I flip right down
Maybe feeling down at this point
I'm - sippin up - I flip it up, this cup right now, yeah
Another unclear line, maybe about drinking to cope with the pain
Like damn
Expressing frustration or disappointment
I fucked it up
Admitting his part in the failed relationship
But it's too far gone now
It's too late to fix what's been broken
If you know, you know
People who have gone through this heartbreak will understand
I'm gone
I'm done with this relationship, and moving on with my life
