"Hey Girl"
estelle and john legend Lyrics

Hey girl I Love you so and
Expressing love, but also conveying sadness and frustration.

It's so sad that we can't even talk no, we can't even no more
Regret over the fact that communication has broken down, leading to a lack of understanding or connection.

Hey Girl, I'm so sad today.
Continuing to express feelings of sadness and disappointment in the current state of the relationship.

And my life just drifted away.
Feeling like one's life or goals have been pushed aside or neglected due to the relationship's issues.

(Can this be real girl, Can this be so Girl have we drifted so far that we can't even talk no more)
Wondering how things got to this point, questioning whether the situation is truly beyond repair.

We can't talk no more blood
Repeating the idea that communication has been lost, using slang to emphasize an emotional distance.

'Cause you never ever really understood blood.
Blaming the other person for not understanding, implying that the lack of communication is their fault.

My heart was open but you stepped right on,
Feeling vulnerable but hurt by the other person's actions or lack of consideration.

You never thought that I was up for being number one, yep
Feeling undervalued and unappreciated, accused the other person of not seeing their worth.

How long I know you, we kept in touch through college.
Reminiscing about past times, suggesting a long history of knowing each other.

Never the type to give you brain I'm giving you knowledge.
Subverting expectations, revealing a desire to educate or inform the other person rather than just engage in casual talk.

We be like old school, I seen you fucking with some other birds. Yep I let you roll right through.
Suggesting a cool or easy-going dynamic in the past, but also acknowledging infidelity and a sense of betrayal.

Gave my soul to another home dude,
Admitting to moving on to another relationship, possibly out of a need for emotional fulfillment or to escape this one.

But you're calling me telling me your problems And I was going through my own kind of problems But ? you took a piss like you were care ? Yup I had that there.
Frustration with the other person for not acknowledging or caring about their own problems, while still expecting sympathy or support from the singer.

And now you're shocked when you see me Wishing we were cool to talk wanting you to see me Working out your numbers to call me, come and see
Suggesting that the other person is still invested in the relationship or wants to reconcile, despite the distance between them.

But you ain't real enough to see me, I'm making it clear babe.
Challenging the other person's willingness or ability to understand the artist's perspective or feelings, indicating that they are done with the relationship.

I always knew you were the one to play the parts then And now I see I should have kept you at arm's length
Looking back with regret, acknowledging that the other person may have had a tendency to lead the artist on or manipulate them emotionally.

I thought you changed from the past and then you make me waste my time.
Believing that the other person had changed or improved, only to feel let down or disappointed again.

Obviously, I got you wrong from the start I should have never let it get that far
Realizing that the singer misjudged the other person's true intentions or character, and wishing they had avoided getting involved in the first place.

I can't deal with your attitude Erase my number from your phone, I've had it with you
Expressing frustration and anger, conveying a desire to cut off contact and move on completely.

And it's so classic that you want to blame the whole situation on me Now let's see, I ain't saying I was perfect But you played your little games Was it worth it
Feeling unfairly accused or attacked, pointing out that the other person also contributed to the problems in the relationship.

And everything that I did you deserved it
Taking a harsh stance, implying that the other person's actions or lack of respect warranted whatever hurt the artist may have caused them.

And these days I hardly walk out the door 'cause you blow everything Out of proportion
Feeling like the other person's reactions or emotions are disproportionate or exaggerated, making it difficult to interact with them normally.

I'm not surprised we don't talk any more 'cause you just played with my mind But it's all good.
Acknowledging that the fractured relationship was difficult and painful, but also expressing a sense of acceptance or closure now that it's over.

(Can this be real girl, Can this be so Girl have we drifted so far that we can't even talk no more)
Repeating the same refrain as before, expressing disbelief and sadness over the distance and lack of communication between the two people.
