She Don't Love Me
Billy Ray Cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd a prob'ly tried to hide
But I came around the corner
She caught me by suprise
There was no ice cold shoulder
There was no ugly scene
She smiled and didn't say the things
I thought she'd say to me.
Well, it was nothin' like that rainy night
She left and slamed he door
Not only she don't love me
She don't hate me anymore.
Well I felt like some old neighbor
Just some guy that she once knew
You'd never know she loved me
And I broke her heart in two
Was she hidin' her emotions
Did she really get that strong
Right then she turned and introduced me
To her new friend Garth.
And I could tell the way he shook my hand
He'd never heard of me before
Not only she don't love me
She don't hate me anymore.
No, there was no ice cold shoulder
And there was no ugly scene
She just smiled and didn't say the things
I just knew she'd say to me.
Yeah, she got so caught up in him
My memory's gone I know
Not only she don't love me
She don't hate me anymore.
And I know it might sound crazy
And I don't know what hurts me more
Is it the fact that she don't love me
She don't hate me anymore.
Not only she don't love me
She don't hate me, anymore
The lyrics to this song by Billy Ray Cyrus, titled "She Don't Love Me," describe a situation where the singer unexpectedly runs into a former love interest. The singer admits that if he had seen her coming, he would have likely tried to avoid her, but she catches him by surprise. Surprisingly, she greets him warmly, without the expected hostility or anger he thought she would show. He recalls how they parted ways on a rainy night, and she had slammed the door and left, but now everything seems different. The singer feels like he is now just some old acquaintance, and they both seem to have moved on from their past, as she introduces him to her new friend Garth. The singer wonders if she was hiding her emotions or whether she had indeed moved on completely. He reflects on the fact that she doesn't hate him anymore or love him, which he admits is somewhat painful for him.
The lyrics contrast the singer’s expectations with the actual outcome of the encounter. He thought that their encounter would be a source of pain as it would bring back memories of breaking her heart. But, to his surprise, things are different. The singer now realizes that time might have healed their wounds, and the love they once shared is long gone—the singer now feels like any acquaintance or a stranger. The introduction of Garth is symbolic in the song, as he represents the singer's replacement in the eye of the woman he once loved. It seems like the woman has moved on from the past and found someone new, and she no longer has any connection with the singer. The song’s line "Not only she don't love me, she don't hate me anymore" reinforces the idea that the woman has moved beyond the pain and bitterness she had previously felt and had now accepted the situation for what it is.

Is it the fact that she don't love me
Is it the fact that she doesn't love me anymore
She don't hate me anymore.
Or the fact that she also doesn't hate me anymore
