The song is essentially about the memory of a relationship that just wo n’t quit , and the main hook of ‘ See No More , ’ co-penned by Chris Brown and Brian Kennedy , is “ I do n’t wan na wait for you / I do n’t wan na wake up thinking , hoping you ’re gon na get it right this time . ” He struggles with moving on , crooning “ All I keep seeing is your picture / I do n’t wan na see no more . ” We ’ve all been there and can relate . Towards the end of the song , during the bridge , Jonas sings , over a looped beat , “ I used to be afraid of letting go / Right now I need you to set me free / I can see it in your eyes ” and “ I do n’t wan na see no more ” as he still tries to expunge his brain from the memory of the one who has inflicted misery on his heart . Joe sings over scattered beeps , cinematic strings and a raspy R&B drumbeat - neatly side-stepping the feather-light pop-rock sound synonymous with his siblings . " Sarah Maloy wrote for '' Billboard '' that " See No More " is reminiscent of the Jonas Brothers ' " A Little Bit Longer , " but with more fear : " It was so easy to trust you baby/Guess I was so stupid baby / I did not ever think that this would come / You 're running right to another one , " Jonas sings . The first taste of debut solo album " Fast Life " may lack depth , but a strong beat and solid vocal performance position the track as a contender for the stuck-in-your-head song of the summer . " Amy Sciarretto from Pop Crunch rated it four out of five stars and says that " he has transitioned from middle Jonas Brother to bona fide pop singer a la Justin Timberlake or Jesse McCartney . " Sciarretto also praised the song more mature ( relatively speaking ) R&B sound , while saying that " he is showing off his chops " . Lewis Corner editor of Digital Spy also rated it four stars out of five , saying that " the result is a slice of dramatic synth-pop about adolescent anguish that not only serves as a perfectly executed image overhaul , but sets him apart from certain other males currently Ridin ' Solo in the charts . " TJ wrote for " Neon Limelight " that the song " finds a maturing Joe trying out different vocal approaches , from a tender falsetto , to a full voice ( that , at times , sounds painfully whiny ) " and that " his solo introduction is passable , but it does not feel authentic . " Jamie Peck wrote for MTV Buzzworthy that " it 's a much more mature sound than we are used to hearing from him or any of the Jonases , quite frankly . This R&B - inflected track expresses Joe 's frustration at having to wait for his beloved to catch up with him , metaphorically speaking . " " See No More " was nominated under the title " Choice Music : Break-up Song " in the 2011 Teen Choice Awards
