Grace Carter's poignant ballad delves into the emotional turmoil experienced when a loved one moves on to another relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of betrayal and confusion, as Carter grapples with why her partner chose someone else over her. She questions what she did wrong and why she wasn't enough for him. The recurring line 'why her, not me?' embodies her struggle to understand his choice. Additionally, the metaphor of climbing high walls signifies her ongoing battle to overcome this heartbreak and move forward. Her determination not to give in reflects resilience amidst pain. This song is a raw exploration of unrequited love, rejection and self-discovery following a break-up.
Why Her Not Me
Lyrics
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
You took my air out of your lungs
So you could breathe with another one
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
She heard about me, and all your history
I'm not tryna burn myself but I can't let it go
Piece by piece, uncovering dishonesty
Never been truth in anything I've ever known
Finding out I'm not the only one
Took the air right out my lungs
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
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
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
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
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
