The moody, regretful “Alone” takes notes from R&B star SZA, as Herby coons about wanting an ex lover back. The song appears on her fourth EP EP 4, which was released on November 2, 2018.
Herby announced “Alone” alongside the rest of the tracklisting on October 30th via Twitter.
[Verse 1]
I can recall the smell of your Mercedes
And I can taste the chlorine on your skin
And nothin' is clear, been a year, and we still haven't spoken
And the boys that are new to my crew
Don't make me laugh like you do
Monica said your new girl ain't that pretty, yeah (Pretty)
Is that why you don't be postin' pics with her? (Postin' pics with her)
I know that I said it was over, but maybe I fucked up
'Cause I'm drunk and I wanna call up
Don't even know what I want
[Chorus]
Oh, am I just gonna die alone?
You must have my heart in a trap 'cause I want you back
Why'd I put you first if I knew I couldn't make it last?
Now, I'm like, goddamn
I'm talkin' 'bout, oh, am I just gonna die alone?
Wish I could delete you and me and our memories
Turn the pictures down, but they're poppin' up in my dream
Tell me, what does it mean?
[Verse 2]
Mom always said that I was too good for ya, yeah (for ya)
You hardly made enough to pay your bills (to pay your bills)
I'm losin' it now that I'm bouncing, when we were together
I didn't think about you half this much
How did you get me so stuck?
I'm thinkin'
[Chorus]
Oh, am I just gonna die alone?
You must have my heart in a trap 'cause I want you back
('Cause I want you back)
Why'd I put you first if I knew I couldn't make it last?
(Knew I couldn't make it last)
Now, I'm like, goddamn (Now, I'm like, goddamn)
I'm talkin' 'bout, oh, am I just gonna die alone?
Wish I could delete you and me and our memories (It's been deleted)
Turn the pictures down, but they're poppin' up in my dream
(They're poppin' up in my dream)
Tell me, what does it mean? (Tell me, what does it mean? Ah)
