Ella Eyre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too many messages to exes
Too many ex's in the text
He would call ya crazy if you question
If she was anymore than a friend
You tell me he's a liar
You know I hate to see you cry
Yeah, you know that I know about that
Because I've been there, been hurt
I got the t-shirt
Ain't gotta tell me about it
But when you see him leaving
I know the feeling
Ain't gotta tell me about it
I know, know how it goes
No, it ain't fair
You thinking nobody cares
No, but I been there, been hurt
I got the t-shirt
Ain't gotta tell me about it
But tell me, tell me
I know
Ain't gotta tell me about it
Tell me, tell me
Never really got on with his mother
No, she never liked you all along
He was always turning you into the problem
Even when he knew that he was wrong
You tell me he's a liar (he's a liar)
Well, girl, you're preaching to the choir
You know I hate to see you cry
Yeah, you know that I know about that
Because I've been there, been hurt
I got the t-shirt
Ain't gotta tell me about it
But when you see him leaving
I know the feeling
Ain't gotta tell me about it
I know, know how it goes
No, it ain't fair
You thinking nobody cares
No, but I been there, been hurt
I got the t-shirt
Ain't gotta tell me about it
But tell me, tell me
I know

Tell me, tell me

Not your fault he's selfish
Over it, I'm over it
And trust me, I'll be over it, be over it
I'm telling you, I've been there, I felt it
Not your fault he's selfish
Over it, I'm over it
And trust me, I'll be over it, be over it
Because I've been there, been hurt
I got the t-shirt

The lyrics of "Tell Me About It" by Ella Eyre capture the experience of being in a difficult relationship and trying to seek solace in a friend who has gone through something similar. The first verse talks about the frustration of dealing with a partner who has too many exes and doesn't want to answer questions about them. The second verse delves into the toxicity of the relationship, where the partner is always turning the blame on the singer. The chorus acknowledges the pain and hurt of the situation but also affirms that the singer has been through it before and doesn't need it explained to them.
Ella Eyre's delivery of the lyrics is confident and brimming with empathy. The repetition of the phrase "Ain't gotta tell me about it" shows that the singer has been through enough to understand what their friend is going through intimately. The bridge talks about moving on from the pain, not blaming oneself for the partner's selfishness, and finding strength to overcome the hurt.
Overall, "Tell Me About It" is an empowering song for anyone who has been in a difficult relationship and found solace in the understanding of a friend who has been through similar situations.

She's so underrated, she literally has no bad song.

That is so true. It's annoying that we don't get to see her on tv and radio on a daily basis! Grr! :(

Your album "Quarter life crisis" was the only thing that supported me and brought so much empathy when I felt this crisis. Once when I was about 27, I had nothing presented in my life. I didn''t know what I wanted to do in a professional way. I was terribly lonely and felt no friend can understand me. The only sunbeam in my life was your album I once encountered. Thank you 💗.
Ella, love from Ukraine💗. You're truly #1 musician in my list. You're so beautiful and artistic!

SHE SINGS TO MY SOUL
