LYRICS:
He don't love
Me no more
He don't love
He don't love
Me no more

(First Verse)
Evergreen, he controls me
Was there something wrong with my body
Am I not what you wanted, babe
If I ever tried, if I ever tried
I would

(Chorus)
Evergreen, he tears me to pieces
Evergreen, doesn't even have to try

(Verse Two)
She don’t
Know you like me
She could never love you more
More than me
But sometimes I pray that you fall in love
I've cried, I've cried so much
For you baby

(Chorus)
Evergreen , he tears me to pieces
Evergreen, doesn't even have to try
Evergreen

(Verse Three)
You know you really made me hate myself
Had to stop before I break myself
Shoulda broke it off to date myself
You didn't deserve me at all, at all, at all

One last time
I see, Evergreen
Please don't come home to me
Sweet Evergreen
He don't love
Me no more

(Outro)
He don’t love
Me no more
He don’t love
He don't love
Me no more

It didn’t go unnoticed by me that Omar is the one who built the room and enclosed himself in there (in a box) alone. Symbolic to the relationship. The glimmers of light shining through giving him hope. But even when it gets dark and things start to shatter he remains in the room. Just like a toxic relationship. The glimmer of light keeps us attached so long it isn’t until the damage settles and your left in ruins, that you can bring yourself to leave as you’re forced to realize there isn’t much remaining. Powerful song and music video ❤️

[donhamilton]

I think the video is him explaining how in his life he’s built up these walls to guard his heart. And this person (evergreen) was so easily able to knock them all down “doesn’t even have to try” and he’s in the room watching these walls crumble and he hates it because he knows that he’s going to just end being hurt by this person.

[TheNotoriousKID]

It’s so good to see young people are still making soulful, timeless music. I wish you the world of success young man, and I admire your story so far.

[Jlyvv]

Staying only hurts more. It’s better to cry for one year of a broken heart but heal. Than to be crying your whole life next to someone that doesn’t love you. 💫✨ I hope someone sees this and knows that letting go it’s the best thing. SelfLove is Key

[nephtaligarcia]

I’m so proud of Omar he is finally getting the recognition he deserves and is a Grammy Nominee 🥹🥹🫶🏼 Had the opportunity to see him live and he sounds too good

[cute_machine]

This video is so complimentary to the song. I’ve definitely felt like this and envisioned myself this way. It’s like building a home within yourself and inviting the wrong person in. They tear your home apart, drive you so crazy you start doing the same to yourself. Being self destructive out of self hate, until one day they leave you in the mess they made of you. And you’re still here, left to pick yourself up. It’s a dark dark place to be, I hope whoever felt this way, feels less alone and finds the strength to move forward. It gets better, one day at a time.

Evergreen, he controls me
Was there something wrong with my body?
Am I not what you wanted, babe?
If I ever tried, if I ever tried, I would
Evergreen (oh, oh)
He tears me to pieces (oh, oh)
(Evergreen) (oh, oh)
Doesn't even have to try
(Evergreen) (oh, oh)
She don't know you like me
She could never love you more, more than me
But sometimes I pray that you fall in love
I've cried, I've cried so much for you, baby
Evergreen (oh, oh)
He tears me to pieces (oh, oh)
(Evergreen) (oh, oh)
Doesn't even have to try
(Evergreen) (oh, oh)
You know you really made me hate myself
Had to stop before I break myself
Should've broke it off to date myself
You didn't deserve me at all, at all, at all
One last time
I see
Ever, evergreen
Please don't come home to me, oh
Oh, sweet evergreen
He don't love me no more
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

[Ultraaaaa]

“Was there something wrong with my body??”

[evee]

i remember first listening to “Ugotme” by him and now i’m hearing evergreen on the radio and literally almost everywhere😭 i’m beyond proud of him especially after all the recognition he’s been receiving, he’s going so so so far🫶

[Justdoinnme..]

Omar Apollo digs deep into his emotions after a break-up, showing anger, anguish, self-loathing and doubt, but over the course of the track, those feelings of sadness become realization and confidence in his self-worth.

[YouTube]

haven't stopped listening to this since ivory came out and after this mv i can't imagine i'll stop anytime soon 🥹

[christy]

My nonverbal 13 year old son with Autism listens to this swaying in his swing. Just got his first crush at school! Never stop making these beautiful songs!

[MartoZCreate]

One of my favorite songs on this album. The video is really fitting! We fabricate a space for ourselves in relationships that sometimes is nothing more than a stage, not everyone can be a home to us. Beautiful video.

[moontrills]

The seemingly universal love of this kind of music shows that we all have these feelings inside of us...Only a few of us are gifted enough to bring it to light. Only a few of them are fortunate enough to be heard by many. Thank you for this auralization & visualization of a deeply human experience, Omar.

[alanabrown]

i like how everything comes back together at the end. to me this shows that the destruction the relationship caused him will be repeated because he craves for that person, no matter how toxic they are. i love everything about this song, and i cant wait to hear it live!!

[AndrewAcosta]

Finding this now. It’s so fitting right now in this exact time and I’m man enough to say, I bawled I have nobody to talk to but this… this helped.

[Ryan-ldnj]

One of the best songs of the year. Something nostalgic about this one.

[helenblake]

A very 1960's groove and sound to it. He's got it! I like this.😊

[veronicaangelica]

Reminds me so much of Frank Ocean. This song is such a masterpiece ❤

[nelsonthindhimbo]

A masterpiece. This song evokes every delicate, fragile tiny thing in my being. It puts me to peace yet shatters me beautifully. When someone you gave up everything for doesn't give up everything for you and they only come at hours you know could break you yet you yearn to be in their presence still. Honestly somethings don't deserve you
