[Intro]
Did you mean it?
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm

[Verse 1]
Maybe I should be more like you
Buildin' up on a lie, then coverin’ up the truth
Oh, I thought that ain't what you do
Tellin' me that you closed off, why did you take your clothes off?

[Pre-Chorus]
Replays in my mind, just walk away from me
If she’s in the way of me, it's way too much for me

[Chorus]
'Cause when you lied to me, oh, I stayed up
But you be fakin', you a snake, I didn't complain, no
You were my favorite, now you ain't shit, I regret it
But I believed you when you said it
Did you mean it, did you mean it?
Mm-hmm, hmm, mm-hmm, hmm
Did you mean it?
Mm-hmm, hmm (Yeah), mm-hmm, hmm

[Verse 2]
Maybe I should be more like her
Just forget about what's right, just forget about my worth
Maybe I should be heartless too
That's somethin’ y’all have in common, I'm cut from a different cloth and it

[Pre-Chorus]
Replays in my mind, did you even think of me?
What does she have more on me?
It’s so hard to believe

[Chorus]
'Cause when you lied to me, oh, I stayed up
But you be fakin', you a snake, I didn't complain, no
You were my favorite, now you ain’t shit, I regret it
But I believed you when you said it
Did you mean it, did you mean it?
Mm-hmm, hmm, mm-hmm, hmm
Did you mean it?
Mm-hmm, hmm (Yeah), mm-hmm, hmm

[Bridge]
Always felt like I was the missin' piece
But now I feel like I'm missin' something, it's killin' me
Always wanted to belong to somethin' that belonged to me
But if it's for everybody, then it's not in my reach
When you speak, do you say things you mean?
Does your mind or your heart take the lead?
If it's love, does that mean you shouldn't leave?
I don't know, I don't know what to believe

[Chorus]
'Cause when you lied to me, and I stayed
You ain't changed, you betrayed me
You tried to say that I was your favorite
And you love me, but you ain't shit
And I believed you when you said it
Did you mean it, did you mean it?
Mm-hmm, hmm (Ooh, ooh), mm-hmm, hmm
Did you mean it?
Mm-hmm, hmm (Mm-hmm), mm-hmm, hmm
Did you mean it?
Mm-hmm, hmm (Yeah, yeah), mm-hmm, hmm (Mean it)
Did you mean it? (Mm-hmm, hmm)
Did you mean it? (Mm-hmm, hmm)

[Outro]
Oh, ooh, woah
Did you mean it?
Ooh, ooh, baby, did you mean it?
Ooh, ooh, ooh

H.E.R.

H.E.R is an acronym for the phrase Having Everything Revealed, which is used as a moniker by Gabriella Wilson. The singer, who is signed to RCA Records was known for keeping her real identity under

“The mystery is a metaphor of who I am, of who I was at the time of creating the project. I feel like oftentimes we don’t like to be open as people about out emotions or things that we are going through. At the time [of recording], I was very closed off except for when I was writing or when I was in the studio.”

First showing up on the scene at SoundCloud when she dropped her first EP in 2016, H.E.R., Vol 1, followed up with H.E.R., Vol. 2. Her music is mixed with inspirations of R&B, hip-hop, and soul.
