Her
Hannah Elkins Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Anyone can see
Anyone can see how much you love her
Oh, anyone can see
God I only wish
All I wish is that I could have been her
That is all I wish
That is all I wish

Cause lately I've been questioning
Wondering if what we had was true
Tell me I am crazy
I just can't get over you

If she's the one for you
Then take her in your arms
Tell her how much that you
Would never let her go
And I won't forget
The memories we shared
The world we tore apart
Know it is better this way
Though my love will always remain

I don't know if I'm going crazy
But it's tearing me apart
I don't know so tell me baby
Was I foolish from the start
So foolish from the start

Cause lately I've been questioning
Wondering if what we had was true
Tell me I am crazy
I just can't get over you

If she's the one for you
Then take her in your arms
Tell her how much that you
Would never let her go
And I won't forget
The memories we shared
The world we tore apart
Know it is better this way
Though my love will always remain

I wish the best for you

I wish it for her too
Time to let go
