My Song
H.E.R. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mmm, yeah
Mmm, mmm

I wanna run away with you
Just take me to places I've never known
When no one else seems to be getting through
Only you can tell what's going on
When I hear your name
Put a smile up on my face
It don't matter the time or the place
You make it all better now
I could love you forever now
When I hear the sound
When I'm feeling down
Ain't nobody else gotta be around
For you to make it better now
Let me get myself together now

Let me sing my song
Don't wanna be alone
I know that when I listen
I find what I've been missing
Right here in my heart
Let me sing my song
I know this is my home
All that I've been wishing
I found what I've been missing
You were right here from the start
So let me sing my song

Everything that you've taught me
I thank you every day for
All the things you wanted me to be
Is everything I've prayed for
When the weight of the world is on my shoulders
You would take away the pain (take away the pain)
Through the storm, the sun still shines
With you by my side, I'm not afraid

When I hear your name
Put a smile up on my face
It don't matter the time or the place
You make it all better now
I could love you forever now
When I hear the sound
When I'm feeling down
Ain't nobody else gotta be around
For you to make it better now
Let me get myself together now

Let me sing my song
Don't wanna be alone
I know that when I listen
I find what I've been missing
Right here in my heart
Let me sing my song
I know this is my home
All that I've been wishing
Found what I've been missing
You were right here from the start
So let me sing my song

All my doubts and fears
All my cries and tears
They all just disappear
Whenever you, were near
You are still right here
You are still
Oh, right here
Right here
Right here
Right here
Still right here
Right here
Right here, right here, right here
Right here, right here
Right here, ooh
Right here, here, here, here




Right here, oh
Oh, mmm-hmm

I'm sitting here crying to this song while I just thank god for my new boyfriend. It's crazy how you stay in a toxic relationship with someone because you love them. You forget your worth. Then out of no where some one new comes along & treats you like the queen you are. They help you remind you of your worth and get you back on your feet again. Its amazing.. I love this song

@belizeangal3409

Ashanti Singletary same here

@Taurusb234

Ashanti Singletary yes! Same here! My heart is so full & I'm so glad i didn't give up. Finally found my love after all the hurt! God hears our cries & blesses us on his time! God bless you queen!

@chuyj.r8414

Hopefully my gf sees this comment since she loves this song but I love you Diana ๐Ÿ’˜
