Her
Zilo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Held it back but I’m overflowing
Feel it deep in my soul
Intuition is strong
I’m hoping that I got it wrong (yeah)
I don’t wanna overreact
(No I don’t)
Ain’t it obvious, what’s she’s doing?
She’s just playing her part
Hoping we wouldn’t last
Waiting for me to fuck up
Yeah yeah
So she can start making a move
On you, yeah
Lose my mind
Every time she hits your phone up
I can’t lie
I think I’m
A little jealous
Why won’t you tell her go?
Why won’t you tell her to go, my lover?
There’s just something ‘bout her
Never really told you how I felt cos
We both kept it cool with all our exes
Even though I know that I can trust you
I don’t trust her
Know she’s after you
Still in love with you
Know you see it too
Don’t lie to me
You ain’t that naive
Since we’re opening up
Let you know what I have been thinking
Thoughts come tumbling out
I don’t mean to be rude
Know she’s part of your past
I’m hoping that she would just stay there
And I mean it
Lose my mind
Every time she hits your phone up
I can’t lie
I think I’m
A little jealous
Why won’t you tell her go?
Why won’t you tell her to go, my lover?
Lose my mind
Every time she hits your phone up
I can’t lie
I think I’m
A little jealous
Why won’t you tell her go?
Why won’t you tell her to go, my lover?

I hope she remains in the past
And I mean it
I am sincere about it

I absolutely love, love this song. I've been coming back to this for the past few years since it dropped. The chorus is oh so freeing to me, and I love the production. Your vocals remind me of my childhood growing up with my parents who played lots of black music of all kinds, old school city folk who knew all of the original kings and queens. it's a side of myself that's very private and personal and i really appreciate beautiful artists like you who keep that old school vibe alive. thank you!
