Since You Left Lyrics – Lil Tjay

Since You Left Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Alicia Keys, Lil Tjay, Alicia Keys & Lil Tjay]
This part feels like a comforting message. It’s about being together through all the ups and downs and not letting outside opinions or drama mess with that connection. The vibe is hopeful and calming, like no matter what people say or how things get tough, everything’s gonna turn out okay. It’s kind of like a reassurance to stay strong together, tuning out the noise and just trusting the bond.

[Chorus]
He’s going through it hard since she left. He can’t sleep properly, and the pain goes way deeper than she might think. He admits he made mistakes in the past, probably let her down a few times, and he’s not trying to deny it — he owns up to what he did wrong. Even with all that, he still wants to give her everything, not just money or gifts, but his heart and loyalty. He wants to show everyone she’s the only one he truly cares about. But he also gets that if she moves on, he can’t be mad. Deep down, he just wants her to be happy, even if it’s not with him. It’s real, emotional, and honest.

[Verse]
He admires everything about her, especially how she dresses and the way she smiles — it really gets to him. He wants things to move forward between them, but he knows she’s unsure, and he’s trying to be respectful about that. He admits he didn’t realize how much he’d lose until it was too late. Their physical connection was strong too, and he misses that, but it’s more than just that — she made him laugh, feel alive. If he had to choose anyone, it would be her, no question. He’s focused on improving himself and their relationship, not caring about anyone else. He sees her as real and genuine, unlike the other girls around him who don’t mean anything to him. But at the same time, he gets jealous. The thought of her being with someone else makes him angry and regretful. He’s confused and hurting, realizing she backed away when things started getting serious for him. He wants to do everything with her — travel, make memories — and now that she’s gone, he’s full of regret, wishing he could get it all back. He feels foolish for messing it up.

[Chorus]
He’s still feeling the same pain and sleepless nights since she left. He keeps repeating how deep the hurt goes, and he’s not trying to sugarcoat his past mistakes — he knows he messed up and takes full responsibility. But he’s trying to make things right by offering not just material things, but love and loyalty. He wants the whole world to know she’s the one that matters most to him. Even if she decides to leave for good, he won’t hold it against her. What matters to him now is her happiness, no matter what that looks like.

[Outro: Lil Tjay & Alicia Keys]
This part really drives home his true feelings. All he wants now is for her to be okay, to have the best in life. He repeats that because he really means it. It’s not about getting her back anymore — it’s about wishing her well, no matter what. His emotions are strong and real, and nothing or no one can change what he feels for her deep inside.
