Why Her Not Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I feel your ghost, smell you all over my clothes
Oh, all your smoke's stuck in me longer then you did
I had my doubts, I had to check it all out
And now I see that you've run back when I thought you'd quit
[Pre-Chorus]
You took my air out of your lungs
So you could breathe with another one
[Chorus]
Oh tell me, why her, not me?
What did I do for you to wreck it all?
Oh Lord, it's not my fault
Why her, not me?
Why did you have to build the walls so high?
Oh no, I'm not done climbing
[Verse 2]
She heard about me, and all your history
I'm not tryna burn myself but I can let it go
Piece by piece uncovering dishonesty
Never been truth in anything I've ever known
[Pre-Chorus]
Finding out I'm not the only one
Took the air right out my lungs
I feel your ghost, smell you all over my clothes
Oh, all your smoke's stuck in me longer then you did
I had my doubts, I had to check it all out
And now I see that you've run back when I thought you'd quit
[Pre-Chorus]
You took my air out of your lungs
So you could breathe with another one
[Chorus]
Oh tell me, why her, not me?
What did I do for you to wreck it all?
Oh Lord, it's not my fault
Why her, not me?
Why did you have to build the walls so high?
Oh no, I'm not done climbing
[Verse 2]
She heard about me, and all your history
I'm not tryna burn myself but I can let it go
Piece by piece uncovering dishonesty
Never been truth in anything I've ever known
[Pre-Chorus]
Finding out I'm not the only one
Took the air right out my lungs
[Chorus]
Oh tell me, why her, not me?
What did I do for you to wreck it all?
Oh Lord, it's not my fault
Why her, not me?
Why did you have to build the walls so high?
Oh no, I'm not done climbing
[Post-Chorus]
Tell me, why her?
You gave her unconditional love
Tell me, why her?
But I'm still climbing
Tell me, why her?
You gave me conditional love
Tell me, why her?
I won't stop fighting
[Bridge]
No, no, no
I won't lay low, low, low
You gave my soul, soul, soul
I'm not giving in, no
No, no, no
I won't lay low, low, low
I've done no wrong, wrong, wrong
I'm not giving in, no
Oh tell me, why her, not me?
What did I do for you to wreck it all?
Oh Lord, it's not my fault
Why her, not me?
Why did you have to build the walls so high?
Oh no, I'm not done climbing
[Post-Chorus]
Tell me, why her?
You gave her unconditional love
Tell me, why her?
But I'm still climbing
Tell me, why her?
You gave me conditional love
Tell me, why her?
I won't stop fighting
[Bridge]
No, no, no
I won't lay low, low, low
You gave my soul, soul, soul
I'm not giving in, no
No, no, no
I won't lay low, low, low
I've done no wrong, wrong, wrong
I'm not giving in, no
[Chorus]
Why her, not me?
What did I do for you to wreck it all?
Oh Lord, it's not my fault
Why her, not me?
Why did you have to build the walls so high?
Oh no, I'm not done climbing
[Post-Chorus]
Tell me, why her?
You gave her unconditional love
Tell me, why her?
But I'm still climbing
Tell me, why her?
You gave me conditional love
Tell me, why her?
I won't stop fighting
Why her, not me?
What did I do for you to wreck it all?
Oh Lord, it's not my fault
Why her, not me?
Why did you have to build the walls so high?
Oh no, I'm not done climbing
[Post-Chorus]
Tell me, why her?
You gave her unconditional love
Tell me, why her?
But I'm still climbing
Tell me, why her?
You gave me conditional love
Tell me, why her?
I won't stop fighting

Genius Annotation
Why her not me is a very emotional. But for grace, its like shes closing a chapter of her life by writing this song. She’s done wondering why she’s not enough. She’s letting go of all the pain and hurt that she felt when she was younger that was caused by her dad. She’s finally asking him, what was so wrong about me that you didn’t want me? What did she have that I didn’t? Why didn’t you show me the same that love that you showed her?
