The Weeknd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's been close to your heart
And I felt it creeping up every day
Baby, right from the start
I know that look you give when we're fighting (fighting)
We're fighting (fighting)
'Cause I used to be the one who was lying (lying)
Oh, lying (lying)
Oh (oh), is there someone else or not?
'Cause I wanna keep you close
I don't wanna lose my spot
'Cause I need to know
If you're hurting him, or you're hurting me
If I ain't with you, I don't wanna be
Is there someone else or not?
Ooh, or not
I don't deserve someone loyal to me
Don't you think I see?
And I don't want to be a prisoner to who I used to be
I swear I changed my ways for the better, the better
'Cause I wanna be with you forever, forever
Oh, is there someone else or not?
'Cause I wanna keep you close
I don't wanna lose my spot
'Cause I need to know
If you're hurting him, or you're hurting me
If I ain't with you, I don't wanna be
Is there someone else or not?
Ooh, or not
Ooh, whoa, yeah, hey
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey

Lyrics at the beginning
Baby, if you’re comin’ for me, girl, oh-whoa
Don’t ever come before me, I do
Don’t let me go, oh, don’t let me be
Don’t let me go, oh, be there for me
Don’t let me down, don’t let me be I hope you don’t mind, baby

The 80s vibes and synths with this album as well as After Hours are so mystical, hypnotizing, and amazing. His vocals are beautiful, soothing, and chilling. And the beat is immaculate. A true artist.
@iluvassembly
Completely agreed. Glad that he's keeping these older music styles alive 👏
@arachnid5557
