Unearthing the Lyrics
Summer Walker begins the song with a heartfelt declaration, “Threw away your love letters, I thought it’d make me feel better.” These opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, exploring the aftermath of a failed relationship. It’s a universal experience, trying to move on from someone we once loved, but realizing that the memories still linger in our minds and hearts.
The lyrics continue, “Sending you one text at a time, Know you’re by your phone, Boy pick up your line, I ain’t too proud to beg, So, what’s been said has been said.” This verse portrays the vulnerability and desperation often felt after a breakup. We find ourselves grasping at straws, reaching out to the person who has left us, hoping for some sort of validation or closure. It’s a painful reminder of how difficult it can be to let go of someone, even when we know it’s for the best.
An Exploration of Love
The chorus of the song, “And I need you to know, You don’t know what love is,” highlights the speaker’s frustration and disappointment with their former partner. It expresses the belief that love is more than just words or empty promises. Love requires effort, fight, and sacrifice. The lines “If you don’t put up a fight, If you don’t stay up all night, crying” speak to the emotional investment and willingness to fight for the relationship that was lacking.
Summer Walker then critiques her partner’s understanding of love, stating, “If you’re too good to call a million times, And you say you know what love is, But I swear you never seen it in your life.” It’s a powerful statement that challenges the authenticity of their love, suggesting that they have never truly experienced the depths of love and its complexities.
