Trippie Redd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Good to not be you
It was love at first sight and misery after two months
Always feeling fucked up either by love or no love
"I thought you was married to the single life," she said
I wasn't necessarily looking for happiness, just less pain
I should've said somethin'
You said the only thing wrong with money is you ain't have enough of it
You said you deserve better, and now so do I
Anyways, the best part of us was me
When you got with me, you were a genius
Now without me you have to live life as an idiot
I don't write songs, I write life, I told you that
And you were only fuckin' with my feelings because you didn't know your own
I do miss who I thought you were
And sometimes I'm miserable without you
So it's just like you're still here, shit

I need you to show me
Love me, love me closely
Love me like you own me
And my heart
I need you to show me
Love me, love me closely




Love me like you own me
And my heart, yeah

Overall Meaning

In this song, Trippie Redd reflects on a past relationship that began with love at first sight but quickly turned into misery. He describes feeling constantly messed up by either being in love or having no love at all. The other person in the relationship accuses him of being married to the single life, but he was not necessarily seeking happiness, just trying to avoid pain. He expresses regret for not speaking up and for not having enough money, which was a source of conflict in the relationship. The other person eventually decides they deserve better, and Trippie realizes that the best part of the relationship was himself. He claims that the other person was only playing with his feelings because they did not know their own. Trippie admits to missing who he thought they were but also acknowledges that sometimes he is miserable without them, making it feel like they never left.


The chorus of the song has Trippie pleading for the other person to show him love and to treat him like they own his heart. This suggests that he still has feelings for them despite the turmoil in the relationship.
