[Intro: Lil Peep]
Yeah
Yeah, ayy
Ayy

[Chorus]
Runnin' away from you takes time and pain
And I don't even want to
So, I'm gettin' high all week without you
Poppin' pills, thinkin' about you (Thinkin' about you)
Runnin' away from you takes time and pain
And I don't even want to
So, I'm gettin' high all week without you
Poppin' pills, thinkin' about you

[Bridge]
I wish I didn't have a heart to love you
(I wish I didn't have a heart to love you)
I wish I didn't play a part to break you
(I wish I didn't play a part to break you)
I wish I didn't do a lot of the shit I do
(The shit I do)
And I wish you didn't too
[Chorus]
Runnin' away from you takes time and pain
And I don't even want to
So, I'm gettin' high all week without you
Poppin' pills, thinkin' about you

[Bridge]
I wish I didn't have a heart to love you
(I wish I didn't have a heart to love you)
I wish I didn't play a part to break you
(I wish I didn't play a part to break you)
I wish I didn't do a lot of the shit I do
(The shit I do)
And I wish you didn't too
Tell me that you hate me
(I just wanna hear that)

Part 2: Sometimes Life Gets Fucked Up

[Chorus]
Sometimes life gets fucked up (Fucked up)
That's why we get fucked up (We get fucked up)
I can still feel your touch
I still do those same drugs
Sometimes life gets fucked up (Fucked up)
That's why we get fucked up (Fucked up)
I can still feel your touch
I still do those same drugs
[Verse]
That we used to do
I was used to you (I was used to you)
"What have you been through?"
She asked me
Every fuckin' kind of abuse
If you love me too
You would give me you (Give me you)
Lock me in your room
Don't tell me the truth
Everything you said (Everything you said)
Stays inside my head (Stays inside my head)
All the shit you said
All the blood I bled

[Chorus]
Sometimes life gets fucked up (Fucked up)
That's why we get fucked up (We get fucked up)
I can still feel your touch
I still do those same drugs
Sometimes life gets fucked up (Fucked up)
That's why we get fucked up (Fucked up)
I can still feel your touch
I still do those same drugs

Lil Peep's debut album, Come Over When You're Sober Pt. 1, released in 2017, is full of emotional and vulnerable tracks. Among them, "U Said" stands out with its mix of two tracks that were initially meant to be released separately. The song is the fourth track on the album and speaks about Lil Peep's struggles with drug use and relationships.

About U Said

The first part of "U Said" is a track called "Poppin 'Pills Thinkin' 'Bout U," which Lil Peep had leaked himself in an Instagram Livestream before he passed away. Some verses and references to the collective GothBoiClique were removed from this version and were later merged with the second part of the song, titled "Sometimes Life Gets Fucked Up." This merging created the complete version of "U Said," a heartbreaking track that showcases Lil Peep's range as an artist and songwriter.

The opening lines of "U Said" set the tone for the rest of the track. Lil Peep sings, "Mind of a maniac/ Don't know what's on my mind, fuck it, I've been feelin' like I'm dyin'." These lines provide insight into Lil Peep's thoughts and feelings, and they capture the heart-wrenching emotions that he pours into his music. Throughout the song, Lil Peep uses a mix of rapping and singing to express his thoughts and emotions about drug use and relationships.

The chorus of "U Said" features Lil Peep's singing over a sparse beat, with a melody that is both beautiful and haunting. He sings, "U said you'd be there for me/ Cry for me, die for me, but why didn't you say to me?" These lyrics highlight the important role that relationships play in Lil Peep's life and how he relies on them for support. Lil Peep goes on to speak about his drug use and how he copes with relationship issues, singing, "Drug addict, drugs are bad, I'm your drug habit."

As the song progresses, Lil Peep's vocals become distorted, and the instrumentals become more intense, reflecting the tumultuous emotions that he is feeling. The second part of the song, "Sometimes Life Gets Fucked Up," features Lil Peep rapping over a beat that is both melancholic and aggressive. He raps about his struggles with drugs and addiction, singing, "Xanny with the C or the lean in my cup."

Ultimately, "U Said" is an emotionally complex track that showcases Lil Peep's raw talent as an artist and his ability to express complex emotions through his music. It is a tragic reminder of the immense talent that we lost when Lil Peep passed away, and it remains an important part of his legacy.

The Bottom Line

With "U Said," Lil Peep created a stirring and emotionally charged track that showcases his range as an artist and songwriter. Through his mix of rapping and singing, Lil Peep expresses his struggles with drug addiction and relationships, making for a deeply personal and poignant song. As such, "U Said" remains an important part of Lil Peep's legacy and a testament to his talent.
