Her
David Alexander Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've been calling me up
Late night reminding me of everything
We don't have, it's so embarrassing
I can't help but call it what it is
You're just somebody I kissed

I'm used to living alone
Don't like the space that you take
Lying on the side of the bed
I'd rather nobody knows
That I talk when I sleep
Cry over people on the TV

And I know it's selfish
I'm trying to fix this
It's nothing personal

You've been calling me up
Late night reminding me of everything
We don't have, it's so embarrassing
I can't help but call it what it is
You're just somebody I kissed
Last night
Looking for something to shut off my mind
All I've been thinking about is her
And you'll never be her

I'm never checking my phone
I just can't stand the sight of seeing it light up with somebody else
So when I miss all your texts
Know I'm a mess
And it's nothing personal
No, it's nothing personal

You've been calling me up
Late night reminding me of everything
We don't have, it's so embarrassing
I can't help but call it what it is
You're just somebody I kissed
Last night
Looking for something to shut off my mind
All I've been thinking about is her
And you'll never be her

And you'll never be her
No, you'll never be her
No, you'll never be her
No, you'll never be her
No, you'll never be her

So I'm nauseous
I think I wanna leave
'Cause your touch, I can't feel anything
No, I can't feel anything

'Cause you've been calling me up
Late night reminding me of everything
We don't have, it's so embarrassing
I can't help but call it what it is
You're just somebody I kissed
Last night
Looking for something to shut off my mind
All I've been thinking about is her
And you'll never be her
You're just somebody I kissed

Her, you'll never be her




Her, you'll never be her
You're just somebody I kissed

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to David Alexander's song "Her" depict a man who is grappling with the reality that he is not able to fully connect with the person he is with because he is still emotionally attached to someone else. He is haunted by thoughts of "her" and unable to fully invest in his current relationship. He feels guilty for using the person he is with, who he refers to as "you," as a replacement for "her." He is embarrassed by their lack of connection and acknowledges that "you're just somebody I kissed / looking for something to shut off my mind."


The singer of the song also admits to being emotionally unavailable and having difficulty with vulnerability, preferring to cry over fictional characters on TV rather than sharing his emotions with the person he is with. He knows that this is selfish behavior but is struggling to overcome his attachment to "her." The repetition of the lyrics "you'll never be her" reinforce the idea that the singer is unable to move on from the past and fully engage in his present relationship.


Overall, "Her" is a poignant exploration of the challenges of moving on from a past relationship and opening oneself up to new connections.

It was a nice song a like it😊😊

I totally agree with what you are saying .... <The fact is, BTC is the future of crypto and the questions traders ask themselves now if this is right time to invest? before jumping into conclusion and think you should take a look at things first. for the past few days the price of BTC has been fluctuating which means the market is currently unstable and you cant tell if it is going bearish or bullish. While others still continue to trade without the fear of making loose, others are being patient. it all depends on the pattern with which you trade and also the source of your signals. i would say trading has been going smoothly for me, i started with 2.5 BTC and i have accumulated over 16.6 BTC in just three weeks, with the trading strategy given to me by expert trader Jiasheng Zac
