Her
Patch Quiwa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She showed me the parts where it hurt
We sang songs about girls
She played songs about her
About the girl she can′t let go
She said, "I'm over her though"
Now I listen to the songs
Knowing damn well that the songs were
A memory of a girl
Who once broke a heart so pure
That it kept picking up the pieces
To go back to the one who
Broke it in the first place
I thought I could be
The one to set her free
But I guess I′m just another heart
That breaks then heals to protect the parts
That were once good
That they made you hope
That there could
Be more to love than hurt
So tell me where it hurts
So I'd kiss the parts she hurt
I showed her how it feels to be loved
I told her 'bout things that I know
Tried new things together
Wrote this song about her
About the girl I can′t let go
I′ll get over her though
I still listen to the songs
That remind me of her
Knowing damn well that the songs were
A memory of a girl
Who once broke a heart so pure
That it kept picking up the pieces
To go back to the one who
Broke it in the first place
I thought I could be
The one to set her free
But I guess I'm just another heart
That breaks then heals to protect the parts
That were once good
That they made you hope
That there could
Be more to love than hurt
So tell me where it hurts
So I′d kiss the parts she hurt
I knew that if she'd come back
You′ll gladly have her back
When I asked if you still cared for her
I already knew the answer
I thought I could be
The one to set you free
But I guess I'm not another heart
That breaks then heals to protect the parts
That were once good
′Cause I have the hope that there could
Be more to love than this
I'll find my own damn bliss
'Cause now I know my worth
I′d heal the parts you hurt
I′d heal the parts you hurt
I'd heal the parts you hurt, hurt
She told me the meaning of love
She showed me the parts where it hurt
I can′t let her go
I can't let her go
I can′t let her go, oh
Patch Quiwa's "Her" is a heartwrenching ballad about a lost love that still haunts the singer. The song is split into two perspectives: the first verse is from the singer's love interest's point of view, as she shows him what love truly means and the pain that comes with it. The second verse is from the singer's perspective, as he comes to terms with the fact that he can never fully let go of the girl who broke his heart.
Throughout the song, there is a common theme of music serving as a means to hold onto memories of love. The lyrics reference singing songs about girls and listening to songs that remind the singer of his lost love. The singer understands that these songs serve as painful reminders of a love that no longer exists but can't seem to let go of them. There is also a poignant moment where the singer reflects on his inability to be the one to "set her free," acknowledging his own limitations as a lover.
Ultimately, the song ends on a note of self-love and healing. The singer recognizes his own worth and vows to heal the parts of himself that were hurt by the love he once had. The final line of the song--"I can't let her go, oh"--serves as a bittersweet conclusion to the story, suggesting that the singer has come to terms with the fact that the memory of his lost love will always be a part of him.

I remember having my heart broken by a girl way back when i was g12. of course, how can i forget that. she was the most beautiful thing that could ever happen to my life, yet she become the greatest heartbreak of all time that i could never ever forget. first love will really haunt you.
it is very unusual for me, to catch feelings for a girl bc im a very conservative person. i only like boys (well, not until i met her). i had few flings during jhs, i really thought i knew what love really is. but when i met her, DAMN my world was shaken. i never thought i could love like that. cuddles. catching sunsets with her. stroll at night. dates. late night calls. deep talks. binge drinking iced coffee. and i remember when she went on a vacay and was having a hard time with the signal, she will go out despite the danger outdoor. she always find a way just to communicate with me. all the little things made me love her deeeeply. but i thought she was feeling the same thing. i really thought she was sincere.
months passed. she suddenly changed. anxiety entered my system. loving someone was the most magical thing that could ever happen to a person. but you really have to prepare yourself for the pain that you will be facing. i fought hard. way too hard. i was lying to myself convincing myself that she still loves me. i was still holding on to her promises. i was afraid the idea of her leaving me. she was my happiness. and i always felt the emptiness with her absence. we were comfortable with each other. she grew inside me. and i just cant let her go. my friends kept telling me that i need to rest. i need to take care of myself. im always pale bc i wasnt really eating at all(which leads me to weightloss) months passed by and im still having panic attacks. countless panic attacks. but i still drowned and dive in all my demons and continue to love her despite the fact that it was draining me. i thought that was love is.
summer time came and we're not living too far from each other but we dont see each other bc she will make excuses that lookong back i really thought it was valid but in reality im just lying to myself and thinking that it was valid. i was really blinded with love. and after few weeks she let go. she told me she no longer loves me. i was expecting that. i was preparing myself if that time comes, but when it came it still felt devastating. she told me that theres no longer a spark between us. she told me that we're no longer growing. i begged her. i cried for her. i had to be surrounded and monitored with other people just to be sure that im not doing any thing harmful for myself. i just want the pain to stop. and thats the time when i found my savior. i started praying and talking to God and surrender to Him my pain. i was crying everytime i talked abt her. she made a whole lot of impact in my life. and i would never forget that. i would never forget her. but im better now. im fully healed. im happy that shes happy rn. and im happy that im happy.
i know that my journey was traumatizing for me. but i would gladly accept the opportunity of being inlove again. bc being in love is the most fantastic thing that could ever happen into a persons life.
to J i loved you. but now i have to close this chapter of my book called life that contains the story of us, in order for me to move on and experience a new chapter of my life. goodluck to your journey in life! im still rooting for you future engineer. stay safe!! ♡
