The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Papers" by the artist "Usher"

Contents

In Usher's song "Papers," he sings about a painful breakup and the decision to move on, symbolized by signing papers, likely divorce papers.

The lyrics depict a whirlwind of emotions: arguments with his lover, friends not recognizing him, and a sense of losing himself in the relationship. He acknowledges changing drastically for love, sacrificing much, even his relationship with his mother.

Despite the intense feelings, he recognizes the toxicity of the relationship. He is tired of the fights, the lack of understanding, and feeling unappreciated. The "papers" become a metaphor for liberation, a painful but necessary chance to start anew.

[Verse 1:]

I can't, get to work on time, can't believe the words to her I just said

But who the hell argue n fight like dogs at 6 in the morning? (in the mornin)

I know it's gonna' be some more sh tonight mm oooh

Our pastor's callin, tellin me I done went too far in

I'm seen around town and my friends can't recognize me,

'Cuz I took a chance on love (love), it's like (like), I'm dyin (ooh dyin)

[Chorus:]

For you I gave my heart and turned my back against the world

'Cause you were my girl, girl, girl

I done damn near lost my mama, I done been through so much drama

I done turned into the man that I never thought I'd be.

I'm ready to sign them papers, papers, papers

I done took all I can take but u leave me no options girl

I can't deny how much I love you, I done gave up errthing I had to

As hard as it is I'm affraid I gotta say

I'm ready to sign them papers, papers, papers

I done took all I can take but u leave me no options girl

Ooh! OoOOooh! Ooh! Papers

Ooh! OoOOooh! Ooh! Papers

[Verse 2:]

I'm losin my mind, can't figure out who's wrong or right

I know it's you I love, but then I also know it's you I don't like

You claim you hate who I was, but that's the reason you here now

You think I don't know what's up, but sweetheart that's what ruined us

I ain't afraid to say I got needs

But the only time you here for me is when the bottles poppin' and everything is sweet

But I I'm tired of sleeping in the other room spending them long nights

Trying to figure out what in the hell in my heart I ain't do right. (Oooh for u)

For you I gave my heart and turned my back against the world(back against the world)

'Cause you were my girl, girl (girl), girl,

I done damn near lost my mama (mama), I done been through so much drama (drama)

I done turned into the man that I never thought I'd be. (never thought I would be)

I'm ready to sign them papers (papers), papers (paii), papers(paai ooh oh oh oh)

(I done took) all I can take but u leave me no options girl

I can't deny how much I love you (know that I love u), I done gave up errthing I had to

(Anything I had to) as hard as it is I'm affraid I gotta say(I'm affraid I gotta say)

I'm ready to sign them papers (papers), papers (paii), papers (girl I took all I could take)

(I done took) all I can take but u leave me no options girl

Ohoh! OoOOooh! Oooooh yea! Papers

Ooh! OoOOooh! Ooh! Papers

[Chorus:]
