Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't put up a front with me
Is this really how you want it to be?
I know you're lookin' for excuses to make other plans
When he's not around to hold your hand
And all the times that you called me
Crying on the phone
Please don't sell yourself short
I don't wanna see you hurt anymore
No, I don't wanna see you hurt anymore
Chorus: demxntia
It kills me
Every time that we speak
I know that you wanna be free
But you're trapped in your memories
Yeah, it kills me
Ohh baby, it ain't hard to see
You're happier when you're with me
You're happier when you're with me
Verse 2: keshi
Take my hand, I need your attention
*uck your man, I'll teach him a lesson
If we speak in bodies, we can't tell nobody
*uck you when you lonely, nah
But I know she say that I am not enough (I'm not enough)
In my heart, I know that I am not enough
Chorus: demxntia & keshi
Baby girl, it kills me
Every time that we speak
I know that you wanna be free
But you're trapped in your memories
Yeah, it kills me
Ohh baby, it ain't hard to see
You're happier when you're with me
You're happier when you're with me
Outro: demxntia
So don't put up a front with me
Is this really how you want it to be?
I know you're looking for excuses to make other plans
When he's not around to hold your hand
The song "It Kills Me" by demxntia featuring keshi is about a complicated romantic relationship with an unfaithful partner. The song speaks to the frustration and pain of being with someone who is not fully committed, but also the difficulty of letting go of love. The first verse is addressed to the partner, expressing the singer's awareness of their attempts to hide their disinterest from him or her. Despite this, the singer still cares deeply for their partner and doesn’t want to see them hurt. However, the chorus is where the singer is honest about how their partner is feeling, and it kills them to know their partner is not happy with their current situation. The second verse features keshi’s perspective, encouraging the partner to leave their man and start fresh with him. But even he acknowledges that he may not be enough for her. The chorus is repeated with both singers owning up to their pain and enunciating it in unison, while expressing that they both still love each other. The outro is a plea for honesty and openness from the partner.
