I think a lot of us learned to silently pray in a house where the devil played. I believe the devil tries to break us early. I hope more and more of us grow and become stronger despite it and we give it a name so other children recognize what it is.
Girl. I'm up late.... Praying, writing, talking to the Lord, he's revealed much to me tonight and I'm singing and writing down a song I've had in my head for a year. I just received the notification for this video and never heard it before. I think you're singing my life. God Bless You Sister..... 👆🙏❤️💪
My mom stated in a very abusive marriage for years, pretended all was okay. Finally she had enough courage to leave with 3 small kids in toll. The first time I heard this song I cried because it sounded like my moms story.
It truly is amazing how someone you've never met can write a song about an event in your life you've never told anyone about, and perform it with the emotion you feel. This is truly a masterpiece.
Girl this is life. I sware. I grew up in church. Still lies were everywhere. Church. Neighborhood. School. Most parents. When ya mama tells you to lie either for peace or war. It just comes. Learned behavior at its best. Sad.
I remember going to church and my mama said I couldn't go if I was going to tell my grandparents what was going on. I promised until we pulled in the driveway and then cried. It got me. Then I learned to lie.
This song is a masterpiece. I wish that I wouldn't say Im fine when I know I'm not. I watched my mom do the same thing growing up, and I swore I'd break the pattern. Well... here I am keeping it alive. It just is too easy now.
Does anyone really want to act like they care about our sad stories? It’s best sometimes to not let other know our business specifically in small towns sad but true. Small towns love to use it a fuel for the fire instead of straightening a woman crown when she’s going through heavy things they don’t care how hard it hurts your children either. That’s sad I’m my opinion people have lost compassion for others.
@staceyherrington2340 actually IMHO, you are wrong. Some of us do still care and will listen, and give advice or support. I'd much rather straighten a woman's crown, than tear her down. So yeah, we do care.
When you're driving home from work at 7:30 in the morning and a song starts playing on the radio that immediately & quite literally stops you in your tracks.... You pull the car over to the side of a curvy country road, pull the song up on TH-cam to play it again and just sob and sob while listening to the whole thing again & again. I've never heard a song that has so very accurately described my entire life. (with the exception of the lyric "I think my Father did the best that he could do" because my Father definitely didn't.... but then again, maybe he did, according to his abilities, no matter how poor) But every single other word of this song, I've lived and I feel it deep in my soul. In my bones. And while you're still on the side of the road with a tear-filled face, a man stops to ask if you're okay. And you lie.........
My name is Vicki and my mom physically and verbally and emotionally abused me for over fifty years I didn’t tell my husband or my adult sons so much shame and humiliation I too learned how to lie finally in my sixties I shared with my husband and sons what I had gone through I still suffer with severe anxiety my husband and I have two beautiful grandchildren I would kill if someone abused them I did have a very happy childhood because I was raised by my loving and kind grandparents I became a mother would raised her boys with love and affection my mother never once hugged me kissed me or said I love you my sons are adults and I hug and kiss them and tell them I love them everyday you can rise up and tell your story or it will eat you alive thank you Ashley for this beautiful song
Ever since Girl Goin’ Nowhere, I’ve been a fan. This lady, this artist is the best singer/songwriter/performer in country music since Reba McEntire. Not disrespecting the other talents like Ella Langley (who I’m also a big fan of) or the rest, but, Ashley’s songs are just fantastic, one after another. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
Congratulations to the whole team (including the McBryde Trybe) because Rolling Stone named this song #13 in the top twenty songs of 2023 so far!!!!!!!
This one hits home For a man born to an alcoholic mother and a two timing run away father We wonder how we made it Your music is true And tells the stories we all live through but are afraid to tell Keep going The world loves you!!!!!!!
My dad was an alcoholic. I believe today my mom drove him to that. Cause I also had a toxic mother who just needs to be better than everybody else. I have to deal with her now.l as she has gotten older. She is the cause of most of my anxiety. But my parents abandoned me from 7 yr to about 15. And when I did move back I was kicked out at 17. I learned to lie about ever damn thing. But, I wish I learned how to live. Never got that, taught myself everything and most times I was wrong about it.
This was how I grew up too. My parents separated when I was 7 and divorced when I was 12. I was very careful in my relationships but picked the wrong ones from broken homes, always finding the ones who were broken and needed fixing in their lives too. I was afraid to speak up as I would never want a fight. I watched others have what I wanted and always wondered how they made things work. Thank you for this true story....
I'm standing at work, silent tears rolling down my cheeks. A few of Ashley's songs have had me in tears, but this song; this song shows pure, valuable, human emotions. Thank you, Ashley. This one hit hard but was needed. Thank you for helping all us black sheep silent criers and back sliders. 💚
This song rocked me to my core. Ashley, you are incredible. Not only do you have the best voice in country music, you are also a top tier storyteller. Thank you for being awesome, genuinely.
Damn sure hit that nail on the head!!! Hellz yeah, bout time someone got that truthful again and, at least close to, first time for such a sensitive topic...no one (generation or two depending on age) wants to hear a song and question what they contributed to their not so functional offspring's life management skills...
This breaks my heart. My mama went through this for so long and after 11 years she left but the "not speaking her mind" ultimately led to her raising my sisters kiddo while she did drugs and it ended up killing my mama from stress and then after my sister from drugs because she didnt know how to cope. Ladies-& even gentleman, the cycle can be broken. You are worthy.
Your such a hero to so many who have lived this life in silence. Love you so 💗 💓 😘 💛 ❤ 💖 💗 much. I wished I could stand at one of your concerts. That would be a dream come true.
It broke my heart when I listened to this song my daughter sent me. 💔 Because I stayed with a man that I should have left. The pain and the regret are just a part of me and my kids. I know how it is to go from the victim to the liar and back again. And so does my daughter. And I hate that with all my soul.
Absolutely beautiful song and such a beautiful voice and execution. A shame so many of us have lived what you sing and were taught to carry those lies to other parts of their lives. Parts where you are so depressed and in so much emotional pain that you cry yourself to sleep and then cry when you wake up realizing you have to face another day, but when anyone asks you just smile and say you are fine. A little over a year ago I found out I was seriously ill with no cure. It's been tough, but also so freeing. Hardly anyone speaks to me anymore because I learned how to be honest and they couldn't deal with the truth. I'm sure there's a lesson in there. Fantastic job Ashley! As long as I draw breath i will be a fan!!❤
Hello beautiful 👋 Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel, better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello will put a smile on your face..
Wow…just WOW!!! This is real, it’s raw, and unfortunately, reality for too many of us. I hope this one wins many awards and gets the recognition that you so deserve. Thank you, as always, for sharing your talent and your heart. Keep on keeping on BadAsshley!! ❤
My life. I know this what my kids went through. Thank you. I feel heard and understood. As a mother you do what ever you have to do that your kids are happy even when you are not. They are the most important things in my world. Love is the thing that keeps us going and sane.
Hello Karen 👋 Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel, better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello will put a smile on your face..
I’ve been waiting for this song to get released! This whole album really! Some of my favorite songs are on it! And soon I won’t have to listen to live versions with crowd noise just to hear them all! Thanks for always speaking to my soul with your music. You are the accidental preacher!
I don't know who wrote this song but whoever wrote it, it's like they peeked into my childhood then my life as an adult and wrote about it. This song hits hard🥺😥
I'm blown away yet again!!! I wish I could meet her and sit down to tell her the difference she's made in my life just being honest with her music! Love this woman beyond words 💖
I recently saw Ashley preform in Kansas. One of the most profound monuments of the show to me was Ashley singing this song and at the end struck a defiant pose, and sang the last word “lie” Boy, did that hit home. Thank you Ashley ❤
Speaking a truth so deep it took me 3x through the song before I let myself see myself. My ex and I both grew up like this and it carried forward. We were at peace with each other when he passed recently. I hope my children don’t carry this forward 😢
Ashley, you are amazing &love your talent!! Great voice, great songs!! I just 💖 everything about you!! You keep kicking ass out there!! ❤ gf!! I need a signed copy please! lol It was worth a try!! That gurl will be at the top soon!! 💖
I still mourn my childhood
I think a lot of us learned to silently pray in a house where the devil played. I believe the devil tries to break us early. I hope more and more of us grow and become stronger despite it and we give it a name so other children recognize what it is.
I can't even explain how real this is for me. Thank you Ashley for putting into words the story that so many of us have lived
Same here
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sounds like she wrote about me
"Working late, Fogging up the windows of an 89 sable" damnn.
I can't apologize to my children enough for staying in a marriage I should have had long before I did. These lyrics ring so true!
How are you? So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song
They know
Same here
A marriage I should have left a lifetime ago ...... however I did get out Alive, but not without scars.
Same here

@@davidholton9667 I am great thank you and yourself?
My mom stated in a very abusive marriage for years, pretended all was okay. Finally she had enough courage to leave with 3 small kids in toll. The first time I heard this song I cried because it sounded like my moms story.
Commend your mother it take so much courage especially when it’s not just you you have to take care of
I have no words, so I’ll just say thank you!
It truly is amazing how someone you've never met can write a song about an event in your life you've never told anyone about, and perform it with the emotion you feel. This is truly a masterpiece.
As the wife of the name that appears at the top I 👍! 1st time hearing g.
I wish it said hate you run in my blood instead of hate that it runs in my blood.
But love this song so much!
Girl this is life. I sware. I grew up in church. Still lies were everywhere. Church. Neighborhood. School. Most parents. When ya mama tells you to lie either for peace or war. It just comes. Learned behavior at its best. Sad.
Looking & sounding fabulous! ❤️🔥❤️
Ok this one’s my favorite no wait they all are go baby go
I remember going to church and my mama said I couldn't go if I was going to tell my grandparents what was going on. I promised until we pulled in the driveway and then cried. It got me. Then I learned to lie.
This song is heartbreakingly beautiful!!!💖

Yes, it becomes the normal answer, not the truth.
Im with you…it sucks!😢
I was in the same situation, please remember it NEVER too late to change your destiny.

Ashley’s voice and this song is amazing! Then add in the guitar at the end, chills all over! ❤
Oh my heart. My generation and I hope the next never knows I’ve spent my life making it better for them
This was how I grew up too. My parents separated when I was 7 and divorced when I was 12.

Quietly i leaned to pray,line, reminds me of a song off A walk to remember ❤❤❤
So very sad and so full of truth. Ashley is one of the best female country artists ever!
You made this 65 year old women remember the past with this song. Love your music
I'm standing at work, silent tears rolling down my cheeks. A few of Ashley's songs have had me in tears, but this song; this song shows pure, valuable, human emotions. Thank you, Ashley. This one hit hard but was needed. Thank you for helping all us black sheep silent criers and back sliders. 💚
Your comment summed it up for many of us, myself included. Thank you!
😢omg, did we live in the same house?
@@ginnygingin2 After reading a lot of these comments I think many of us did grow up in the house.
I heard this for the first time on my way to work. This is a different level it hit me so hard and made me realize alot about my life.
Some heavy lyrics hitting home.
Too cool! This woman is a great songwriter.
Ashley casually breaking our hearts....
And I’m here for it lol!! Everytime!!
She's a god
But still R.I.P NOAMI JUDD
Brandy clark is a God two
This song rocked me to my core. Ashley, you are incredible. Not only do you have the best voice in country music, you are also a top tier storyteller. Thank you for being awesome, genuinely.
Oh wow. Wow. Wow. Just….. you’re it. You’re the person. Incredible. Real.

Queen 👸 of lyrics and us simple little folks. Thanks Ashley❤❤❤. Good ole gurl.
One of the most personal songs I've heard in ages. Beautiful,
Damn. This is deep on so many levels. Words can not describe how much I can relate to these words...😢
We're going Friday night, Nov 3rd to see Ashley for the 3rd time in Tifton, Ga. It's going to be a GREAT concert!!!
Best cry of my life . Thank you for this ❤️
Tanya out tonight releasing her new songs 🎵 & now Ashley gonna gift us this beautiful song. I'm a happy happy girl... just a happy happy happy girl.
Wow. I don’t know what else to say. You are my absolute favorite singer and I’m so thankful for your music and honesty.
Your such a hero to so many who have lived this life in silence. Love you so 💗 💓 😘 💛 ❤ 💖 💗 much. I wished I could stand at one of your concerts. That would be a dream come true.

What a powerful song.... grew up learning to lie..I'm breaking the cycle
My mom did the same to my dad and I gave everything to my kids I didn’t want them to go through I did experience. I’m a curse breaker
I think my mom hates me for doing better than her we don’t talk now days 😢
Beautifully written and sung
Seriously! Ashley can do no wrong with songs. Wow! Hit after hit. Truth in every word. Sing it girl. ❤❤❤🇨🇦🍺
You're telling so many of our stories ❤️🔥thank you

Ashley,with Soul of "Lie" and Life! Reflection of Being human ! One of Ashley's ballad's early in the am at home or open road down the highway!
I don't know who wrote this song but whoever wrote it, it's like they peeked into my childhood then my life as an adult and wrote about it. This song hits hard🥺😥
I am pretty sure she did.
Thanks, just checked (don't know why I didn't do it sooner) you're absolutely right she did write it.
Super beautiful and sadly true
Loved it this hits home for me I love how Ashley sings the truth in her songs amazing voice and song!!
This was my life and sadly it's so hard to overcome the trauma we grew up with.
Hi Sonya 💐💐

Ashley has once again made a beautiful song with a absolutely great meaning.
What a heartfelt song, delivered impeccably. You can say so very much from the heart and without the profanity. She is a great, great songwriter.
The words in this song accompanied by a amazingly beautiful and unique voice, will touch your soul. Ashley sings with heart and from the heart.❤️
I can’t say it enough, you are the absolute best female artist that I have heard in 30 years. Keep it up girl, I’m a fan for life!
What an incredible song that unfortunately a LOT of us can relate to. Another beautiful/painful song!
Speaking a truth so deep it took me 3x through the song before I let myself see myself. My ex and I both grew up like this and it carried forward.
We were at peace with each other when he passed recently. I hope my children don’t carry this forward 😢
She needs her own station on Sirius XM 🤘Absolutely Awesome Ashley!!!
Saw this performed live. Loved it then, love it now. My favorite. Speaks so much truth .

An Incredible Song In The Voice Of Someone I Just Met. 😍
This song hits on so many levels. As with all of Ashley's songs.the writing is powerfully poetic.
I learned to pray silently inside a house where the devil played. Lyrics that have never been more accurate.
So good
