Why do we argue?
Why do we scream?
I wish it was better
I don’t want you to leave
I’m tryna make peace, babe
These tears run down my face
So I close my eyes, but we both cry
And you say this is it, baby, baby
She say she tired of my shit, she wanna quit
The funny thing, I’ve been good to her, not doing shit
But she think that I’ve been fucking with Keisha, Latoya, and Lisa
Dirty Diana, Nicki, and Amber
Gotta be out of your damn mind
Tell me what’s the deal with you?
There’s something wrong, I feel it too
We hardly see each other and now you wanna talk about space
You changed, you wanna leave me now but you can’t tell me
Why do we argue? Why do we scream?
I wish it was better, I don’t want you to leave
So sick and tired of drinkin’ this bottle
Contemplating a pill overdose
I think this one shot (Baow) will stop the pain (Baow)
Now I’m sleeping (Baow), I just wanted you to love me
Got myself on speed dial, 911
I got a hole in my heart, one bullet in the gun
Belly full of pills, running out of time
Sitting here waiting, just to say goodbye to my love
Farewell, I’m gonna miss you
You’ll always go back to that day when I said, girl
Tell me what’s the deal with you?
There’s something wrong, I feel it too
We hardly see each other and now you wanna talk about space
You changed, you wanna leave me now but you can’t tell me
Why do we argue? (Why?) Why do we scream? (We scream)
I wish it was better (Better), I don’t want you to leave (Ooh, babe)
So sick and tired of drinkin’ this bottle
Contemplating a pill overdose
I think this one shot (One shot, baow) will stop the pain (Stop the pain, baow)
Now I’m sleeping (Baow), I just wanted you to love me
This is a love to remember
Yeah, this is a love to remember
Don’t cry, don’t cry
We’ll meet again once upon a time
This is a love to remember
(Want you to love, want you to love, want you to love)
Yeah, this is a love to remember
(Want you to love, want you to love, want you to love)
Don’t cry, don’t cry
(Want you to love, want you to love)
We’ll meet again once upon a time
(Want you to love, want you to love)
Yeah
(Why do we argue?)
Yeah
(Why do we scream?)
Yeah
(I wish it was better, I don’t want you to leave)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(So sick and tired of drinkin’ this bottle)
(Contemplating a pill overdose)
(I think this one shot will stop the pain)
(Now I’m sleeping, I just wanted you to love me)
Emotional Turmoil and Vulnerability
“Love 2 Remember” by Chris Brown delves deep into the tumultuous emotions of a relationship on the verge of collapse. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of heartbreak, confusion, and desperation as arguments escalate and communication breaks down. The recurring questions—”Why do we argue? Why do we scream?”—highlight a struggle to understand the cause of their pain, while the repeated pleas for the other not to leave reveal a profound fear of loss.
Struggles with Pain and Coping
The song doesn’t shy away from the darker aspects of emotional suffering. References to drinking, contemplating pills, and feelings of hopelessness expose the raw vulnerability Chris Brown channels through his voice. The sense of isolation and longing for love shines through, underscoring the depth of his attachment and the difficulty in letting go.
A Bittersweet Farewell
Despite the anguish, there’s a lingering hope of reunion—”We’ll meet again once upon a time”—suggesting that even when love ends painfully, its memories endure. “Love 2 Remember” stands as a poignant reflection on the complexities of love, heartbreak, and the enduring impact of lost relationships.
