This song is about learning how to lose someone

Recorded and made with Murray Hughes

Let Him Go

You Can Have Him" is a fierce yet poetic anthem of betrayal, self-respect, and emotional rebirth. Nada Samir delivers a message for anyone who's been replaced — not with bitterness, but with clarity and quiet strength. With raw lyrics and haunting melodies, she exposes the pain of losing someone who was never truly loyal while reclaiming her power.

This track doesn’t beg or cry — it watches in silence, it smiles in truth, and it walks away with grace. It's for the girls who let go without looking back. For the souls who realize: losing them was the real win.

You got him. I got peace. 💅

You Can Have Him

[Verse 1]
Every time he said, “This one’s it,”
I packed our life and made it fit.
Left my job, left my friends—
Started over all over again.

He’d get restless, burn it down,
Swear the next town would turn it around.
And like a fool, I’d follow close,
Tellin’ myself that’s what love does most.

[Verse 2]
But this time I said, “I’m stayin’.”
Got roots now, and the kids need savin’.
They’ve seen me cry, they’ve seen me bend,
Each time he chased some dream again.

He said I was scared to grow,
Blamed me for what we couldn’t hold.
Said I gave up on the life we made—
Then he took the job anyway.

[Chorus]
He always lands on his feet.
I land in pieces he don’t keep.
Every twelve months, a brand new plan,
Built on the back of where I stand.
This time, I didn’t beg or break—
And he took the job anyway.

[Verse 3]
He’ll say I gave up on “us,”
But what he wants ain’t love, it’s trust—
Without return, without the weight,
He wants a home he don’t have to make.

He said too much, now I see clear,
All the blame he packed for years.
He called it duty. I call it escape.
And he took the job anyway.

[Chorus]
He always lands on his feet.
I’m left rebuilding in the heat.
I won’t chase him through that door—
Not again, not anymore.
This time, I didn’t bend or stay—
And he took the job anyway.

[Outro]
Let him call it what he needs to.
All I know is I am through.
I’m not followin’.
And I’m not waitin’.
He took the job- 
I’m just sayin’.

[Final Chorus]
He always lands on his feet.
I land in pieces he don’t keep.
Every twelve months, a brand new plan,
Built on the back of where I stand.
This time, I didn’t beg or break—
And he took the job anyway.
Took the job anyway.

Anyway

I’m JD Hodge — Oklahoma-born, red dirt-raised, and songwriting for over 30 years.

In 2024, I flatlined on an operating table. Cardiac arrest. Everything changed.

When I came back, the words came with me — like they’d been waiting their turn. Since then, the songs haven’t stopped. I write what’s real: struggle, hope, grit, and grace — stories meant to be felt.

You’ll hear pieces of my past, my people, and the kind of heartland truth you can’t fake. These songs aren’t just mine — they’re for anyone who’s fought through silence and still found a voice.
