I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE
Tyler the Creator Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

See, um
Heavy feelin' for you yeah, yeah, it's no secret
You too cool for me and I ain't tryna freeze up
Like the Johnsons, nonsense, I will speak up
And realize there's more fish in the sea, I'ma re-up
Like, bitch, I know my shit is bumping, it's eczema
So I won't walk around with my head down like I got beat up
Um, you do you, I'll do me, I'll just choke the piece up

I ain't tryna keep up, because

I don't love you anymore (Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah)
'Cause I don't love you anymore (Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah)
'Cause I don't love you anymore (You wasted my time and I know that these things are not hard)
'Cause I don't love you anymore
(I don't know what I should do with this shit, I'ma go) (Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah)
But this might just be better for us, you know?

('Cause I don't love like I used to) Where the time go?
I gave location ('Cause you don't wanna talk about it, baby)
That's all that I know
Ah, ah, ah, ah, where the time go?

What now?
Movin' on the high, uh
somethin' put my feelings in the lost and found
Now I'm stuck
(Forever and ever, and ever, and ever, and ever) ohh yeah
(And ever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and ever, forever, and ever, and ever)
(No) I don't love you no more
Tell me where to go
Can I have my heart back? (Heart back)

I don't love you anymore
'Cause I don't love you anymore
'Cause I don't love you anymore (You wasted my time and I know that these things are not hard)
'Cause I don't love you anymore (more, more)
But this might just be better for us, you

Yeah, yeah
Thing wanna a thing, I'm in love oh

Overall Meaning

In "I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE," Tyler the Creator discusses moving on from a relationship where he no longer has romantic interest. Despite a "heavy feeling" towards his former lover, he acknowledges their incompatibility: "You too cool for me and I ain't tryna freeze up." Tyler takes pride in his music career and states that he won't let the breakup bring him down: "So I won't walk around with my head down like I got beat up." Although he addresses his past lover, the song is ultimately a self-reflective piece about his growth as an individual.

The chorus of the song, "I don't love you anymore," is a definitive statement that indicates Tyler has moved on from the relationship. He also acknowledges that the breakup may be for the better, but still wonders where the time went and if he can have his heart back. The lyrics also make use of repetition to emphasize Tyler's message, as well as a metaphor of putting his feelings in the "lost and found."

One interesting fact about "I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE" is that it features a sample from "Legend" by Vedo. Tyler's use of a sample is a nod to his appreciation for various genres and his unique approach to production. Additionally, the song became popular on TikTok in 2020, with users using it for videos featuring transformations or drastic changes.
