Forgive Me
Chloe x Halle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm too high up
I'll let the light light up
Moving too fast, now you're caught in the middle
Try so hard to keep up, now you single
Betting you regret what you did, just a little
Ah, ah
Baby, what you think this is?
Why you wanna plead the fifth?
You ain't gotta tell me what it is
'Cause I saw the messages
You must got me fucked up
You must got me fucked up
I think I had enough
So forgive me, forgive me
I've been going too hard in your city
So forgive me, 'cause I'm not teary
Best believe I move onto better things
Oh, you lie-oh, you lie
Give me back all my time
So forgive me, no, not really
Best believe I move onto better things
I've been sitting here watching you go insane
I've been sitting here watching us fade away
Baby, don't you see, what you done threw away
Know it's hitting you, on the loop, on replay
Baby, what you think this is?
Why you wanna plead the fifth?
You ain't gotta tell me what it is
'Cause I saw the messages
You must got me fucked up
You must got me fucked up
I think I had enough
So forgive me, forgive me
I've been going too hard in your city
So forgive me, 'cause I'm not teary
Best believe I move onto better things
Oh, you lie-oh, you lie
Give me back all my time
So forgive me, no, not really
Best believe I move onto better things
Goodbye, you stay wasting time
No, you never tried
You said this for life
But you know you lied
Catch you every time like
Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
The lyrics of Chloe x Halle's song "Forgive Me" delve into the complicated emotions surrounding a relationship that has gone sour. The singer begins by feeling high and empowered before realizing that their partner has been unfaithful. They feel hurt and betrayed, but also frustrated that their partner would do something so foolish. The chorus repeats the titular line, "forgive me," which seems to be directed at the partner but could also be interpreted as a plea for self-forgiveness. The rest of the lyrics focus on moving on and finding something better, with the singer ultimately deciding to say goodbye to their unfaithful partner.
One interesting aspect of "Forgive Me" is the emotion and energy that Chloe x Halle bring to the track. Their voices are both powerful and vulnerable, conveying the pain and frustration of the lyrics. The song also features a catchy beat and electronic production that gives it a modern, almost futuristic feel. Additionally, the song has been praised for its relatability, as many people have experienced the same emotions and situations described in the lyrics.
