Usher ft. Timbaland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh
Just can't get through to you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm never gonna tell you nothin' more
Listen
Now, now she loved me, shawty I loved her
Used to care, she used to share
The love that she used to give me can't be found
I lost my way, she said she'd stay
And lately I've been sleeping with a ghost
My stock is down and out, I used to be worth my weight in gold
That was before a great depression kicked in and rocked us
And that was before the hurricane came, came in and stopped us
I told you to leave, but you lied to me
When you said that, "baby no worries I promise to get us back".
I know sorries, just wouldn't do it
Her heart is obliterated, I'm trying to travel through
But it's like moving mountains
It's like moving mountains Hey
But I keep climbing and hoping things would change
And the sky turns gray, and the water from the rain washes progress away
It's like moving mountains (moving mountains)
It's like moving mountains (moving mountains)
Why just leave me?
Just leave me be
Just leave me
Just leave me be
Why you just leave me
Just leave me be
Why you just leave me
Just leave me be, oh
She, she don't touch me, I don't touch her
We rarely even ever say a word
I really want to give her everything she deserves
But the bad took away the good
She thinks that I'm full of it, arguments, always pissed, man I'm tired
Every kiss that I miss, girl you know I'm trying
You never believe when I say, and I never believe it when you say
I love you, and I shouldn't complain about it
I should take it like a man and walk up out it
Cause we will never be the same, oh
I've been standing in gas, and you have been the flame
I know sorries just wouldn't do it
Her heart is obliterated, I'm trying to get through
Got to move this mountain
It's like moving mountains Hey
But I keep climbing and hoping things would change
And the sky turns gray, and the water from the rain washes progress away
It's like moving mountains (moving)
It's like moving mountains (moving)
Well baby why you just leave me?
Just leave me be
Just leave me
Just leave me be
Why you just leave me
Just leave me be
Why you just leave me
Just leave me be, oh
This must be a slow death that I'm travelin' on
It feels so wrong, I'm barely holdin' on
See no matter what it takes, I've gotta get it together (baby yea)
And these hills that I'm travelin' up
She ain't showin' me love
I'm down on my love
I know sorries just wouldn't do it
Her heart is obliterated, I'm trying, I'm trying my boo
But it's like moving mountains
It's like moving mountains Hey
But I keep climbing and hoping things would change
And the sky turns gray, and the water from the rain washes progress away
It's like moving mountains
It's like moving mountains
Well baby why you just leave me?
Just leave me be
Just leave me
Just leave me be
Why you just leave me
Just leave me be
Why you just leave me
Just leave me be, oh

Line by Line Meaning
It's like whatever I do
No matter what I do, I can't seem to make progress with you
Just can't get through to you
I'm unable to communicate effectively with you
I'm never gonna tell you nothin' more
I'm not going to waste my breath anymore, listen up
Now, now she loved me, shawty I loved her
We were in love, she was my girl
Used to jump up in the Maybach and roll out
We used to hop into my fancy car and take off
Used to care, she used to share
She used to care for me and share her love
The love that she used to give me can't be found
The love she once gave me is gone
I lost my way, she said she'd stay
I lost myself and she promised to stick with me
And lately I've been sleeping with a ghost
Lately I've been sleeping alone, feeling the absence of her love
My stock is down and out, I used to be worth my weight in gold
I used to be valuable, but now I feel worthless and lost
That was before a great depression kicked in and rocked us
Before we were hit by sadness and hardship
And that was before the hurricane came, came in and stopped us
Before the natural disaster hit us and wrecked everything
I told you to leave, but you lied to me
I asked you to leave, but you said you'd stay
When you said that, "baby no worries I promise to get us back"
You promised everything would be okay and you'd fix it all
I know sorries, just wouldn't do it
I understand that apologies aren't enough
Her heart is obliterated, I'm trying to travel through
I'm trying to heal her broken heart
But it's like moving mountains
Trying to fix this relationship is incredibly difficult
Hey
Expressing emphasis and frustration
But I keep climbing and hoping things would change
I'm continuing to work towards fixing things and hoping for a better outcome
And the sky turns gray, and the water from the rain washes progress away
Changes for the better are washed away by unexpected setbacks
Why just leave me?
Why do you want to leave me and our relationship?
Just leave me be
Just let me be, don't try to intervene
She, she don't touch me, I don't touch her
We don't have any physical connection anymore
We rarely even ever say a word
We don't talk much anymore
I really want to give her everything she deserves
I want to make sure she's happy and fulfilled
But the bad took away the good
The negative aspects of our relationship have overwhelmed the positive ones
She thinks that I'm full of it, arguments, always pissed, man I'm tired
She thinks I'm insincere and always angry, it's exhausting
Every kiss that I miss, girl you know I'm trying
I'm trying to show her love and affection, but it's not enough
You never believe when I say, and I never believe it when you say
We don't trust each other's words anymore
I love you, and I shouldn't complain about it
I still love you, but I know I should stop complaining
I should take it like a man and walk up out it
I should handle this situation maturely and leave
Cause we will never be the same, oh
Our relationship will never be what it once was
I've been standing in gas, and you have been the flame
I've been putting myself in danger and you've been fueling the fire
Got to move this mountain
I have to find a way to overcome this immense challenge
Well baby why you just leave me?
Why are you abandoning me when I need you the most?
This must be a slow death that I'm travelin' on
This is a slow, painful process that is ruining me
It feels so wrong, I'm barely holdin' on
This situation feels unnatural and I'm struggling to survive
See no matter what it takes, I've gotta get it together (baby yea)
I'm determined to fix things, no matter what it takes
And these hills that I'm travelin' up
These obstacles I'm facing to fix our relationship
She ain't showin' me love
She's not reciprocating my efforts to fix things
I'm down on my love
I'm feeling defeated and hopeless
But it's like moving mountains
It's incredibly difficult to overcome these challenges
Well baby why you just leave me?
Why are you leaving me when I'm still trying to fix things?
Just leave me be
Just let me be, don't interfere
Why you just leave me
Why are you abandoning me?
Just leave me be
Just let me be, don't interfere
Why you just leave me
Why are you abandoning me?
Just leave me be, oh
Let me be, don't bother me anymore

This song goes so much more deeper in meaning. He mentioned he lost his way and she promised to stay but obviously, her heart couldn't take the hurt that she experienced from him. He's trying to reconcile what he has done but unfortunately, she is giving him a hard time. Honestly, sometimes it not easy to forgive someone for hurting you and once that trust is gone, it will never be the same!

Wow!
