In an interview with Elle Magazine, Yuna explains in an interview that “It’s a story about what heartbreak looks like…It’s also a reflection of my past relationship.” The music video is filmed in reverse, it tells an intriguing—and personal—story about love and betrayal.
[Verse 1]
Why do you keep tellin' me you're self-destructive?
I'm gettin' tired of your lies and your excuses
Cause I see your photos in the club
Havin' fun and livin' it up
Someone famous on the couch
You don't answer when I call
"Can't talk now cause it's too loud"
What am I doin' with this drama?
[Pre-Chorus]
If this is love, I don't want it
If this is love, you can keep it
You call this love, you don't respect it
If this is love, why am I hurting?
[Chorus]
At the end of the day
While you are with me
We're on different lanes
Chasing different things
[Verse 2]
And you know that I don't do that
Would you like it if I start doin' that?
Social climbin' on the daily
Don't give a damn 'bout what you think
Would you like it if I start to change?
Cause I wonder what you did to me
Takin' up space so you can be free
Cause I didn't give you what you need
[Pre-Chorus]
If this is love, I don't want it
If this is love, you can keep it
You call this love, you don't respect it
If this is love, why am I hurting?
[Chorus]
At the end of the day
While you are with me
We're on different lanes
Chasing different things
[Bridge]
If you got a good girl then appreciate it
A wife-material then appreciate it
If you got a good girl then appreciate it
A wife-material then appreciate it
[Chorus]
At the end of the day
While you are with me
We're on different lanes
Chasing different things
At the end of the day
Cause I see your photos in the club
While you are with me
We're on different lanes
Are you having fun?
