Heard It From A Friend
LOLO Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Day after day I see less of you
Seems like you might be tellin' everyone a story
"I didn't go to the horse shoe barn last week"
Everyone said that they saw you there
Sittin' in the corner lookin' oh so comfy
No one said hello
Cause you were occupied
And you can do everything to cover yourself
But don't forget that we've always shared the same crowd
Yeah I heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend
So
When you gonna tell me you fucked me over
Don't you know that people watch
Don't you know that people talk
So
When you gonna tell me you don't want me no more
I feel like a fool when I cry at night
Maybe if I would've opened up my eyes I'd
Woulda noticed all those hours away
But I didn't learn
And I always tried to see the good in you
But everyone said I needed to be careful
Yeah I heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend
So
When you gonna tell me you fucked me over
Don't you know that people watch
Don't you know that people talk
So
When you gonna tell me you don't want me no more
You can only bury the truth for so long
Cause it's gonna rise up on its own
Oh, oh!
You can only tell so many lies
Before you start to lose track
And it just comes back to bite you, so!
Yeah I heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend
So
When you gonna tell me you fucked me over
Don't you know that people watch
Don't you know that people talk
So
When you gonna tell me you don't want me no more
Yeah I heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend
So
When you gonna tell me you fucked me over
Don't you know that people watch
Don't you know that people talk
So
When you gonna tell me you don't want me no more
Ohh, don't want me no more, ohh

You are denying having gone to the horse shoe barn last week


Everyone said that they saw you there
But everyone claims to have seen you there


Sittin' in the corner lookin' oh so comfy
You were seated in the corner appearing very comfortable


No one said hello
People did not greet you


Cause you were occupied
It was because you were occupied


And you can do everything to cover yourself
You are capable of taking steps to hide or mask the truth


But don't forget that we've always shared the same crowd
You and I have always had mutual friends


Yeah I heard it from a friend who
I got to know about your actions through a friend who


Heard it from a friend
Who in turn was informed by another friend about the same issue


So
Therefore,


When you gonna tell me you fucked me over
When will you confess that you have deceived me

But everyone warned me to be cautious


You can only bury the truth for so long
You can't conceal the truth indefinitely


Cause it's gonna rise up on its own
The truth will eventually emerge


You can only tell so many lies
You are limited in the number of lies you can tell


Before you start to lose track
Before you begin forgetting the previous lies and get caught up


And it just comes back to bite you, so!
And it will just have consequences in the future


Ohh, don't want me no more, ohh
Oh, you no longer desire me

Dang girl, you wrote my life right there in "shine". I listen to it a lot in hopes soon I can figure out just how & where to start. To make a change in my life. Ice been suicidal myself, I recently sat on the tracks with a train coming, I was numb, I can't recall what made me get off the tracks. It was crazy kind a feeling. I had a challenging life, mental disorders & struggled thru out my life, as Queen says in a song, " I feel like no one ever told the truth to me bout grow ing up & what a struggle it'd be". The whole song really is my life too just as shine is. I love it. Ice thought of writing a song about my life but the way you wrote shine is perfect. My kids say I should write a book.....I speak or text/write in great detail. Lol.
