Why Won't You Love Me
Yearning Echoes: Unveiling the Heartbreak in Young Yachty's Melody
Lyrics
I just checked my phone, I saw your message your baby
Checking phone, saw a message from the person referred to as "baby."
That stupid text that you gone send "you're gonna hate me baby"
Received a text indicating that the sender expects to be disliked or hated.
Staying out late, I won't control you, you do what you want
Expressing a lack of control over the person's actions and giving them freedom.
I hope you know when you come back baby that I'll be gone
Anticipating the person's return, but the speaker plans to be gone by then.
Baby yeah I'll be gone, what's your repentance baby
Reiterating the departure and asking about the person's repentance.
I won't respond to you, I know you get that message baby
Deciding not to respond to the person's messages.
I heard a rumor about you, can't believe that this the way it goes
Heard a rumor about the person, expressing disbelief at the situation.
I should've listened to my friends when they said never trust a
Regretting not heeding friends' advice about trusting the person.
I'm sorry baby but I can't come to the phone right now
Unable to answer the phone, apologizing.
And she the type that would show up to my home right now
Describing the person as someone who might show up uninvited.
I gave you everything you asked, and I would've given more
Expressing having given everything to the person, but it didn't matter anymore.
But I guess it didn't matter, at least to me not anymore
Feeling that the efforts made were not reciprocated.
I could prolly say I hate you, but you know that I'd be lying
Mentioning the possibility of hating but acknowledging it would be untrue.
And I wouldn't be myself if I didn't want to try, one more time
Expressing a desire to try again despite the pain.
I just pray that I don't end up looking stupid
Praying not to appear foolish in pursuing the relationship.
Know I don't believe in Cupid, so this love shi got me clueless
Not believing in love (Cupid) and feeling confused about love.
And I wrote a couple songs 'bout this, I never seem to learn
Having written songs about similar experiences, admitting difficulty in learning from them.
I know perspectives always gained, but this misery is earned
Acknowledging that lessons are gained through perspectives, but misery persists.
And the worst part of it all, I could choose to end the hurt
Aware that ending the pain is a choice but choosing to stay in the relationship.
But I'd rather be with you, I'm to blame for my own burns
Taking responsibility for the emotional pain and burns in the relationship.
I could prolly say I hate you, but you know that I'd be lying
Repeating the theme of not being able to genuinely hate the person.
And I wouldn't be myself if I didn't want to try, one more time
Reiterating the willingness to try again despite potential heartbreak.
I just pray that I don't end up looking stupid
Repeating the prayer to avoid looking foolish in love.
Know I don't believe in Cupid, so this love shi got me clueless
Reiterating disbelief in love (Cupid) and feeling lost in love.
And I wrote a couple songs 'bout this, I never seem to learn
Repeating the theme of having written songs about love but struggling to learn.
I know perspectives always gained, but this misery is earned
Reiterating the acknowledgment that perspectives evolve but misery persists.
And the worst part of it all, I could choose to end the hurt
Reiterating the choice to endure the pain for the sake of the relationship.
But I'd rather be with you, I'm to blame for my own burns
Reiterating self-blame for the emotional pain and burns in the relationship.
I got a question that's been stuck inside my head right now, I did everything you asked So why won't you love me
Pose a question about fulfilling all requests and yet not receiving love.
And to be honest baby I've been feeling dead right now, inside my thoughts I always ask Why won't you love me
Admitting to feeling emotionally dead and questioning the lack of love.
I'm always thinking, laying on top of my bed right now, this stupid question that I ask Why won't you love me
Continuously thinking about the situation while lying in bed.
I've been dreaming that I'd let go of the past right now, but I'll always have to ask why Won't you love me
Expressing a dream of letting go of the past but consistently asking why love is absent.
