    I was in a longterm, emotionally abusive relationship... "Push" hit so hard after that time. I grew up listening to that song, but I never had a connection until my children's mother practically killed everything inside of me... that song hits hard and I loved hearing it in the movie!

      It's ironic that someone that has been emotionally abused would like this song. This guy is literally singing about the need to emotionally abuse someone because he feels bad about himself and his own experiences. I used to like this song also and then I read the lyrics. Did you actually read all of them? The lyrics are extremely toxic and it's exactly how narcissistic individuals behave in relationships. Only very toxic people would try to push their partner down or anyone else down because they feel bad about themselves and their own lives. That kind of behavior in any relationship is absolutely sick and toxic and is called emotional abuse. Just FYI.

    Rob Thomas is completely incorrect. These lyrics do not describe normal emotional battles that healthy relationships go through. They describe toxic and emotionally abusive behavior. No healthy, mature person would want to bring their partner down because they aren't getting enough attention or because they don't feel loved enough in the relationship. That's how narcissistic personality disordered individuals behave in relationships. That behavior is absolutely toxic and is unacceptable in any healthy relationship. If this is how he behaved in any relationship, then I feel bad for his victim. Because that's exactly what she was-his victim. Healthy people don't punish their partners they communicate their feelings with their partner and the two address the problem together if both people are healthy.
