She Holds A Grudge
Jet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She holds a grudge
Like no other woman
I ever met before
Yeah there are some tears
Then after, it's like a million years
Well she comes around
But I can't tell
If she let herself be held

I gotta do something, sometimes

Once
In my life
I'm gonna say sorry
Before I die

When, I'm alone
Well I don't feel
I think too much
Well I don't know enough
No one's right all the time

I gotta do something, sometimes

Once
In my life
I'm gonna say sorry before I die
Baby I'm sorry
So sorry
I apologize

Babe when I hold you
Then you will know
You're my woman

Believe me it is the only way
Don't leave me, hear what I say
Yeah carry me back home
Back home

For once
In my life
I'm sorry
I apologize
Babe please don't tell me
That all you see is black
No
And when I hold you




Then you will know
You're my woman

Overall Meaning

In "She Holds A Grudge", Jet sings about a woman who holds onto resentment deeply, making it difficult for the singer to get close to her. He explains that while sometimes she'll seem to let her guard down and let him hold her, he can't be sure if it's genuine or just a temporary lapse in her grudge. Despite this, the singer wants to make things right and apologize to her before he dies. He acknowledges that he thinks too much and doesn't always have the right answers, but he wants to try to make things better. He promises to hold onto her if she lets him and reassures her that he wants to make it right and prove his love for her.


The lyrics of the song paint the picture of a tumultuous relationship between two people, one of whom is holding onto past hurts and grievances, making the relationship difficult. The singer, however, is willing to make the effort and try to make things right. The song speaks to the universal struggle of communication and trying to hold onto love, even in the face of pain and hurt.
