[Verse 1: Kid Cudi] She said I don't spend time like I really should She said she don't know me anymore I think she hates me deep down, I know she does She wants to erase me, hmm A couple days, no talking, I see my baby And this what she tells me
[Chorus: Kid Cudi] She said I keep on running, keep on running And nothing works, I can't get away from you, no I keep on ducking, keep on ducking you, nothing helps I can't stop missing you (Yeah)
[Verse 2: Kid Cudi] It's like I'm her new nightmare, she ain't escaping It makes me feel a bit complete (Yeah) Knowing someone you love don't feel the same way about ya Memories they soon delete (Hmm) A couple weeks, no talking, I see my baby I missed you so damn much Hey, I wish we could start over, I told my baby This what this bitch tells me
[Chorus: Kid Cudi] She said I keep on running, keep on running, and nothing works I can't get away from you, no I keep on ducking, keep on ducking you, nothing helps I can't stop missing you
[Bridge: Kid Cudi, Kanye West & Both] Yeah, 'cause I'm in the magazines, on the TV No matter where you are, you might hear me (Uh) I'm in the magazines (Yeah), on the TV No matter where you go, you might see me (Hello, haha)
[Chorus: Kid Cudi] She said I keep on running, keep on running And nothing works, I can't get away from you, no I keep on ducking, keep on ducking you, nothing helps I can't stop missing you

A break from the perfection of Cudi’s rhythmic wordplay throughout the album, “Erase Me” offers him the chance to be a lounge singer relaying the perils of the “famous rapper.” Kanye’s interjection of swift dialog and faster paced rapping offers a break from Scott’s more dramatic tone.
The song offers an insight into the women that the rap game brings to the artists. Even though the women know it’s a “new nightmare” and the artist feels “a bit complete” it is doomed from the start.
