Well let me start off by saying as an African-American woman a lot of people don't think we like country music but we love country music this song is so touching to see her cry tears actually brought my knees and tears because as a woman I can relate to this on both ends of the coin haven't always been a proud of my actions put this song has made me stronger still listening to the song in 2024
Not all of us stereotype. I was at the grocery store yesterday and a carload of African American dudes were blasting Metallica out of their super sub/amp stereo in their car. I took my time loading my groceries because I was enjoying the heck out of it.
Music speaks to us ALL! Anyone with a soul❤ the good music that has the power to move our souls. .doesn't matter what type of music it is❤ we're all one❤ fighting this battle together
Wife of 19 yrs walked out on me and our 5 kids last July. We spent months homeless or in a shelter. After countless 60 hr work weeks I made us a home again. Now after all our struggle and after she's had her fun, she wants back in. It hurts, but after careful consideration I have advised her to stay.....stay gone, stay away. Sad but kind of happy at the same time. God, this song reminds so much of all the times I begged her to love me. In the end it was for the best. Great song
November 2023 and this song still cuts like a knife through my heart. The tears in her eyes. The cry in her voice. Even the expression on Kristian Bush’s face as he plays the guitar. He knows the hurt she’s been through. This song will remain timeless in my book!
This is what I call real country music... it touches your soul and heart. Wish we had more of it being created today instead of all of this shallow commercial junk...
My mom used to listen to this song over and over. She’s been gone 5 years and listening to it makes me feel close to her. What a sad song. I miss my mom.
The first guy, I begged. I cried. I still remember the pain. But no one should should have to beg. Eventually I learned. If I am not good enough, then don't stay. I finally know my worth. Be with me for me. If it is not good enough, why don't you leave? Life has been great since.
lher6425 Ive been thru that same shit. I cried and begged him the whole time he was packing. The irony is this year he comes back wanting to work it out. It felt so good to tell him to kiss my behind. Im using my HUSBANDS youtube. So glad I let him walk.
If you listen carefully to the song, the first part she says "he always goes home", she's the MISTRESS, not the wife, listen carefully. I just heard it and felt so dumb...
She gets the so called best because she is his wife not his mistress! There isn’t anything powerful in another woman knowing he is married but still precedes. When will women start supporting women and leave the dirt bags alone!
I love my husband with all of mu heart and soul and I am so grateful that GOD GAVE ME YOU!!!!!!!! My baby forever and for all eternity ❤ Your beautiful wife- J. Wilkerson
I was in a diner when I was about 7 years old. And my friends grandfather said "a man ought to be ashamed of himself making a beautiful woman cry like that."
You can feel her pain in this song... I'm up off my knees I'm so tired of being lonely You can't give me what I need When she begs you not to go There is one thing you should know I don't have to live this way Baby, why don't you stay..
This song is what I'm dealing with the same thing but I'm the girlfriend who is being cheated on and I let him come back to wake up to him being gone again back to her the pain is the worst I ever felt
Christians eyes couldn't reckon the pain from toners eyes because she is not Andrea.christian is just a product of one of echos cameras in my house watching us get it on at the stove. He's just a fixed image. Of there sickness.
Ms. Taylor thank you for holding my hand through that last procedure in Midland memorial hospital. If it wasn't for you I'd probably be dead. I'll always remember those beautiful green eyes as I woke up in that hospital bed. Luv you "Dr. Taylor" 2:38
It wasn't based on her own experience. The song was inspired by Reba McEntire’s “Whoever’s in New England,” which was written from the perspective of a wife whose husband is cheating on her. Nettles knew countless songs written from that viewpoint but none from the other two people involved. She says most people don’t realize that even the person who is doing the cheating gets hurt as well.
Beth Rightmeyer.. Finally someone else that know's she never lived this experience. If half these Idiot's done a quick Google search they'd know this..
I love performing this song, even in noisy bars, it seems to stop people in their tracks, just one of those heart wrenchingly soulful songs that can not be ignored. ❤
This literally breaks my heart every time I watch it! Seeing the beautiful and talented Jennifer Nettles get so emotional touches me greatly! This is a fantastic song! And I didn't even know it was sung from the perspective it is when I first heard it several years ago! I still love this song and I love Sugarland! I hope they come out with some new material together soon!
she does get very emotional. . she can probably truly relate to the song probably touches most people we have all vee. in those shoes once.. once shame on you twice shame on me
+robert hastings She wrote this song when she found out that her husband was cheating, and when she gets emotional its because this song is a true reflection of her own situation. :) but yes a great song, and im pretty sure we all can relate to it in one way or another!
I was married for close to 30 years when my husband left me for a woman at work. It tore me up and almost broke me. The absolute darkest time of my life. Sometimes I was so broken I felt like I couldn’t breath. It’s been 3 years since that day and while I almost can’t stand to remember the feeling of the darkness, I am proud that I made it through a time where I almost gave up. Some people comment that maybe we will be friends in the future when the pain passes. I always reply, absolutely not. I have no desire to relive the absolute betrayal from a man who disposed of me like common trash. No thanks! I spent so many years feeling worthless and alone. I don’t need to live that way ever again.
Anyone who's ever been in this situation feels this song on a different level. Shame on the man or woman who awakens a love with no true intentions of nourishing it.
I’m currently going through this now. It’s heartbreaking for me honestly. Her ex always harassed her causing issues with us and she’d leave. I’ve been broken for a while
I agree and it's a powerful song and another powerful song is Sara Evans A Little Bit Stronger cuz you can't let one bad experience or 20 bad experiences break you you have to get stronger otherwise you lose out
To all you happily married people, thank God you are, because the worst feeling next to loosing a child is to loose the love of your life because she wanted the greener grass on the side of the fence. Then they realize it’s not and comes home like nothing happened. It will tear at your soul and slowly drain everything good about you until you are empty inside. The trauma to your head and heart is like what a soldier gets on the battle field, you will never be the same again. I pray to all the people in love please don’t ever cheat on your partner, leave them first it won’t hurt as bad as cheating. Amen from an empty soul
The "other" woman in his relationship also got her broken. But she was the wise one broke off the relationship. She sent him back to his bed with his wife, even tho she loved him.
"It's too much pain to have to bare to love a man you have to share." I have to listen to this everyday... I know I walked away and it'll get better but it can't hurt worse than being treated wrong.
jeez my mom listened to this song a lot when i was a kid because my dad and her got divorced because he cheated , i loved it a lot but i didnt understand why she liked it so much. Now im a 21 year old man now about to cry everytime i hear this song play because i know now she was broken deeply. this song will forever be a healing experience for me 16 years later shes happy remarried living a life i thank god shes living today because the sacrifice she went through working almost 3 jobs to support me and my sister. i can never thank her enough for what she did
The same here my husband cheated on me and it broke my heart it was like I got stabbed a million times I don't know why he did it I gave him the world I treat him the best gave him everything he wanted and I have four kids I raised by myself two jobs taking care of the kids when I will come home we'll get three or four hours of sleep head back to the other job while he was messing around and doing his drugs I didn't know what was going on but I stand hard for my own two feet and hell my head up high for my kids I had to make it every time I hear this song it hurts like I'm getting stabbed all over again by him I don't ever forget him but it's a sin not to forgive somebody so I got forgiven I don't talk to him I don't have nothing to do with him I try to stay away from him because it just brings memories of him abusing me man to leave physically and then while he was doing what he wanted to do without me knowing and it hurts every time somebody will call he will leave and tell me what's going to the corner store you wouldn't come back to the next day so I feel you how you feel for your mother I hope you feel me because my heart is trying thousands of pieces like a jigsaw puzzle I don't know where to begin I'm still by myself making it in this world my kids are growing up I'm glad that I made it I had my head up high to keep going even though I will cry in the nights and the restroom when I was taking a shower I will cry why why did I do wrong I don't know but I gave him the best I gave him the world I will do everything for you and you turn around and stab me billions of times broke my heart into a puzzle well I don't know where to put it back together again so I feel for your mother Gloria Flores
Sandy, she was going through a divorce at the time so it was emotional to her. That's why it's a great song, the emotion she was feeling came in the song.
@@rhondaboncutter5812 the passion we once felt for each other turned to complacency , that's when I found more love in a bottle . Been chasing ghosts from then on .
@@mikelcage6438 yeah man alcohol feels like the ultimate friend to kill solitary in these times but it also do one thing that is slowly destroying from inside(the organs)
It's so sad that her can do it so good there so good they can do it all right on yall I lost my mom 2 years ago I hurt so much sugar land... from cody Barrera y'all
You can see that her green eyes are cloudy Grey. You guys out there, watch your girlfriend's eye color! If it gets brilliant,... prepare to loose your virtue. If it's leaning toward Grey, get ready to loose your girl.

There's 9k heartless people on here. 9k dislikes????? This is one of the greatest songs in the history of the world!!!!!!! If she were mine, this song would've never happened. She's my angel!!!!!!!
Holy crap!! Between the song and this post I want to confession and hug my dad. I hope you find the strength to show your kids how a real parent/father can endure. I’m rooting for you sir!
I use to play this song over and over again when it came out. I was the wife, but felt like the other woman. My husband spent all his time and affection on other women. This song gave me the strength to say enough. And I left my husband. It was the hardest decision I ever made. He was the love of my life, my whole heart. My husband never thought I would ever leave him. He changed his life completely, and won me back. Our life our love our marriage was happy, unfortunately that was only for a short time. 5 years later he died in my arms at the age of 51. My heart forever broken He was and will always be my 1 true love. Even with all the pain he caused me. I truly loved him, and he did change 100 percent.
My husband and I have now been separated 6 years and divorced 3 yrs. He also was ( at least I thought) was the love of my life. And the 24 and a half years I never saw him doing no wrong and blamed it all on myself. But now i know things I didn't but my heart aches for him still. We were 15 years old and I was 38 when we separated. He's moved on to someone else the one I think was kinda in picture. But my heart feels like it will always be broken. I trust in God and I have to much love to give someone that deserves it as much as me. It's just in his timing and a broken 💔 will be healed. So happy you and your husband reconciled and so sorry for your loss.
I think what this song has done for many men is show us the pain and suffering we bring on loving women for out shear selfishness. When a man is in this spot he generally isnt thinking so much about the pain he is causing (both women) by stringing them both along. Those of us that have done this sort of thing after listen to this song will hopefully feel true remorse for what they have done, and for those that have not done this it might make them think twice. If your in a bad relationship, just pack up and go, don't hold keys to two doors it only make thing worse and you will lily lose both and to be honest, that is what you deserve if you put good women in this position.
Scott LaValley dam good advice Scott ! most of us ( men ) wouldn't want to admit that though. and that's a shame. be thankful for 1 good woman ! they are hard to come by
I was recently strung along to discover he was seeing a woman who had a history of cheating on him. He's marrying her now and when I confronted him about how he hurt me, he gave me the silent treatment. It's good to know that there are men out there who regret doing this to women (and I apologize about the women who do it to men too) and realize how much it hurts. I doubt he's one of them but your comment struck a chord with me in a good way.
Unfortunately the emotion of this song is not just a woman / man thing. As a husband that lost my wife, the only love of my life, to another man I am intimate with the pain caused by someone that played two men against each other, killing two families (2 partners and 8 kids) in the process. The agony of trying to fix something with someone that only wants to keep lying and using you is a genuinely soul destroying endevour. I try to see through this songs plea by the third person and understand the simple pain of someone in love with someone who has made a decision not to make a decision but instead to simply go on hurting two people because they want it all.
I don't CARE if you like or don't like country music - if THIS song doesn't move you - I question if you have a heart. Her voice, the way she emotes - and if you're watching and see her eyes - you can't NOT feel something. After all these years, this song STILL chokes me up.
Especially if you were the wife with a cheating husband waiting at home for a man to come home never knowing whose lap he's been in on the way home from work. Song hits me the same way it did the first time I heard it. I'm lucky enough to have a man now that will never do that to me.
Oh that voice! One of the best ever in country music! Just superb. Would love to hear a new song from her---- even former president Obama made a favorable comment about her voice! 💕 🌹 rosita
One of the best videos ever made... that raw emotion just pouring out of her... my God. I can't relate to the song exactly, but it's beautiful and the look on her face in the video just makes me break down every time. I just want to hug her.
This song is still so chilling to me and I've been there and begged these words to keep my family together, looking at our childrens eyes filled with heartache
I've never heard this beautiful song before. It has so much emotional too it. It reaches into my heart. It brings tears too eyes. God bless this lady 🙏 ❤
every time she sings this I feel itl deep in my soul. She sang it with her whole heart. Almost as if she's really experienced it. Regardless of the topic she sings it beautifully. Soulful music!!
Such an emotionally raw song. 🔥🔥🔥To me the “she” in this song is drugs. If you’ve ever been in a relationship with an addict, listen again. She’s BEGGING him to surrender, to stop the pain, the excruciating hurt and give his whole self to her.😭😭😭
Let's just say that I started to cry when the song started to play. This reminds me of my mom when she always sing this song to me and my siblings. Rest easy mom
This song is to the only man that I ever known and loved for 26 years. After, rekindled and giving him everything he still left and ran from me. He went and had his fun getting high all the time. He kept running after I begged him to just loved me but it wasn’t enough. I went homeless to be with him and I guess I wasn’t enough for him to stayed. I got to the point where his shit got old, and I finally called it quit! I’m so done with his bs to where I just hate him. So i rather set him freed, so I can be free…
Imma tru southern black guy, who love hip hop and nothing less, but this song..... This song, is real as they come. I truly love it, and it's sad that 9-4-2020, is my first time hearing it... 💯💯💯💯👏👏👏👏
I told you so call me I'm trying to play my music I'm okay you're the one and Iron Man to leave me alone so I can listen to my music so we can make it love thank you
There is a lot of great country music out . hmmmm, listen to jelly roll. I can relate 100 on most of his songs. And second chance. I spelled it wrong because he spells it different but he is a black mam singing country and some rap . Just listen . there good . im a white female that loves hip hop and country and 80s and southern rock. I don't like the new rap or hip hop but 40 years old and the old rap in the late 90s and early 2000's and mid 2000s. I love it .
I love it too I loved her songs since I was a little girl but I’m glad you heard it because it truly is a amazing song and and really is true as they come.🖤🖤
+Mikaya Moorleghen He's not cheating ON her, he's cheating WITH her. She wants him to stay and not go home to his wifey. She's singing from the perspective of "The Other Woman."
+Daisy Elliott-Biddle that's what she meant Daisy. If a man cheats on his wife with you. He will cheat on you. It's a vicious circle of karma kicking you in the ass.
+Mikaya Moorleghen and when he cheats there will come a day when he realizes that he was so wrong and will never Love again as I did you your right mikaya but there are nights when I wish I had died young and not live for this moment
A song that became an anthem. A song that evoked so much emotion, so much heartache, so much "real". Jennifer and Christian nailed this one and it will forever stand out as one of the strongest breakup songs. Well done.
You know you’ve healed when this song no longer breaks you. ♥️ Such a beautiful song, I will never forget the tears I cried while listening to this song over on replay.
“ I’ve given you my best, why does she get the best of you?” One of the greatest lyrics I’ve ever heard like I can relate to that one line sooo soo much
I’ve listened to this song 100’s of times over the last 10 years. As she’s singing her eyes are telling a story. It’s as if you can see into her soul and it always brings tears to my eyes.
This song will always be a heartbreaker, the raw emotion is something we just don’t see any more. My heart goes to everyone tired of being a plan b, we’re stronger than we know
The very same person who introduced me to this song later became the 1 cheating.This song hit me to the core when I found out my hubby was cheating on me after 13yrs of marriage! Today I'm happily divorced for 27 yrs and still love this song!❤❤❤❤❤
It's an understatement to say devastation is what one feels when a marriage ends due to infidelity. I was more than shocked since it was a close friend. I'll keep all who have experienced what I have in a general prayer.
#JenniferNettles #KristianBush aka #Sugarland. One of the finest bands in country music. Their harmonies are tight. Enjoy their music so much 🙋👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎻🎹🥁🪘🎸💖❤️💜💛💙🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🌹🌻🌼
I gave you so much of my life. We started out as childhood friends then on to "lovers". You cheated on me. You chose her. You married her. You have a family with her now. You...chose...her... And broke me... What does she have that I don't?
+BassProHunter14 you will find someone so much better. Actually a very similar thing happened to me, but I am so disgusted by guys right now the seemingly good guys that have come along don't get anything from me. I am just so tired.
think about it this way. you have taught him something. you have taught him not to do the things he did to someone else. so when you look back at him and see him happy don't be sad be happy you taught him what love means. if he didn't have you he would never change. yes it hurts to know he's happy and it feels like hell like your broken but what he did was teach you to be more carefully about people you date. keep your head up girl and if u want to hurt him then you do stuff for you get dressed up go out with friends have s date with a guy be happy cause being sad will satisfy him if all he really wanted to do was hurt you then shoe him you don't and never needed him your a beautiful girl and you must respect yourself before others can: )

"Ive given you my best... why does she get the best of you???" - very powerful
Miki Nunya because she promised herself to him, and him to her, when they married. I love this song, but it's also sad
Miki Nunya indeed
You get to legitimately tell people "Nunya Business" all the time! Sweet.
If you listen carefully to the song, the first part she says "he always goes home", she's the MISTRESS, not the wife, listen carefully. I just heard it and felt so dumb...
yes it is suglarland rocks
this song made my mom a stronger woman. 🖒 🔥🔥🔥

Amen
Me too I was in a relationship for 18 yrs he kept cheating on me once with his best female friend
me too!
How could ANYONE cheat and walk away from this amazing, fantistic, beautiful woman
With the most incredible voice?
The memory of a heartbreak... This song speaks volumes to someone who truly loved with her heart and soul, only to be an option.
“I’ve given you my best, why does she get the best of you?” Is so powerful.
She gets the so called best because she is his wife not his mistress! There isn’t anything powerful in another woman knowing he is married but still precedes. When will women start supporting women and leave the dirt bags alone!
Amen!!
Here, here!
Best song lyric ever!!!

You can't give me what I need
When she begs you not to go
There is one thing you should know
I don't have to live this way
Baby, why don't you stay..
Great song. Jennifer Nettles is a awesome singer with a powerful voice
Robert Jelgersma Can I tell you I so agree. Im her new biggest fan :-)
Magdalena Cancel yes you may. I have been a big fan of Jennifer since I first heard her..
Bob Everson it really is...
"I'm so tired of being lonely...."
I say that every night as I cry myself to sleep....
Christian’s eyes look so melancholy. He can feel the pain she’s expressing. That’s a forever friend.
He actually had them stop having her sing it after a few times of recording it
He wanted to stop recording Jennifer wanted to continue to film. I know this is a fact. My twin daughters' mom is married to Jennifer's brother
This song is what I'm dealing with the same thing but I'm the girlfriend who is being cheated on and I let him come back to wake up to him being gone again back to her the pain is the worst I ever felt
Christians eyes couldn't reckon the pain from toners eyes because she is not Andrea.christian is just a product of one of echos cameras in my house watching us get it on at the stove. He's just a fixed image. Of there sickness.

Such a beautiful, loving woman, how could somebody break that heart??
This lady has a very beautiful voice.. She sings this song with so much passion. I love this song.
Scott Weighill It's because her husband cheated and left her during this time. So it was very real to her.
It wasn't based on her own experience.
The song was inspired by Reba McEntire’s “Whoever’s in New England,” which was written from the perspective of a wife whose husband is cheating on her. Nettles knew countless songs written from that viewpoint but none from the other two people involved. She says most people don’t realize that even the person who is doing the cheating gets hurt as well.
Beth Rightmeyer well said and I love this song because it shows the other side of a love triangle.👊🏾😎

damn she's good in everyway!! one hellva performance!! love this song, she's AWESOME!
Yes I've lived both sides too, obviously she has to, so she can feel it on her soul
it hurts to see her cry, god i hate it!!!
she cried real tears and they kept filming. makes me cry every time I watch it

+Matthew Lemay she sang it when she was going through a divorce
she does get very emotional. . she can probably truly relate to the song probably touches most people we have all vee. in those shoes once.. once shame on you twice shame on me
+robert hastings She wrote this song when she found out that her husband was cheating, and when she gets emotional its because this song is a true reflection of her own situation. :) but yes a great song, and im pretty sure we all can relate to it in one way or another!
I was married for close to 30 years when my husband left me for a woman at work. It tore me up and almost broke me. The absolute darkest time of my life. Sometimes I was so broken I felt like I couldn’t breath. It’s been 3 years since that day and while I almost can’t stand to remember the feeling of the darkness, I am proud that I made it through a time where I almost gave up. Some people comment that maybe we will be friends in the future when the pain passes. I always reply, absolutely not. I have no desire to relive the absolute betrayal from a man who disposed of me like common trash. No thanks! I spent so many years feeling worthless and alone. I don’t need to live that way ever again.
Hello Ann how are you doing today
God bless you I'm going through 20 years for him to cheat every chance he can it's about killed me but I will survive thank you 🙏
Terminally single here because 30 years & 5 husbands proved this song would never not be my daily life.
Hope you are well.
I'm the same way.
Sweet Ann I hope you’re well my friend ❤
Story of my life. Hurt keeps me down and pride tied to the past. Want to catch that second wind to run. Pray for me.
❤️🩹🙏🙏
No matter how many times I see this it always makes me cry. She just squeezes it right out of my eyes, and I’m a big, ‘ol tough man for heck’s sake!
Lmfao me too and a biker and a hard rock fan. Don't tell my friends.
You guys are awesome for admitting that but how can anyone not love it, I love hard rock but I'll listen to whatever lmao
Her emotion while performing this song appears as if she's reliving a personal moment. 100% chills.
She was, research it
Just looked it up - Jennifer wrote this song. It’s as personal as it could be.
A lot of tears and sometimes a lot of pain😅
This is what real music is.
Sounds like what my life was. Brought me to tears.😢
Anyone who's ever been in this situation feels this song on a different level. Shame on the man or woman who awakens a love with no true intentions of nourishing it.
Wow no truer words have ever been spoken. Awesome quote.
I’m currently going through this now. It’s heartbreaking for me honestly. Her ex always harassed her causing issues with us and she’d leave. I’ve been broken for a while
I agree and it's a powerful song and another powerful song is Sara Evans A Little Bit Stronger cuz you can't let one bad experience or 20 bad experiences break you you have to get stronger otherwise you lose out
@@justinbunn3273 you will pull through brother.🙏
I it's easier to be alone, I guess those deployments finally caught up w/ me. It doesn't hurt when I was better off being by myself.

Mariah Carey
I love Mariah, but what Mariah got to do with this video or song? ;-)
To all you happily married people, thank God you are, because the worst feeling next to loosing a child is to loose the love of your life because she wanted the greener grass on the side of the fence. Then they realize it’s not and comes home like nothing happened. It will tear at your soul and slowly drain everything good about you until you are empty inside. The trauma to your head and heart is like what a soldier gets on the battle field, you will never be the same again. I pray to all the people in love please don’t ever cheat on your partner, leave them first it won’t hurt as bad as cheating. Amen from an empty soul
dear empty soul … fill it up with garden and dogs and fishing… works for me ..
The "other" woman in his relationship also got her broken. But she was the wise one broke off the relationship. She sent him back to his bed with his wife, even tho she loved him.
Telling me i "shudve done it sooner" ' im lucky'
"It's too much pain to have to bare to love a man you have to share." I have to listen to this everyday... I know I walked away and it'll get better but it can't hurt worse than being treated wrong.
One of the greatest "Country Songs" ever written!!!!
I love Sugarland. The voice, the emotions and the way the message is sent from her sad songs, her happy and fun songs. A genius.
Hello Codey how are you doing today
She barely has makeup on, but yet she looks better than half the ppl that cake there face up.
I lived off this song and I'm not a fan either but I love this song
I love this song
ur right
yess she is so beautiful and she has an amazing voice
yep
Great Song! I miss my grandma & grandpa! ❤
Beautiful woman singing a beautiful song!
jeez my mom listened to this song a lot when i was a kid because my dad and her got divorced because he cheated , i loved it a lot but i didnt understand why she liked it so much. Now im a 21 year old man now about to cry everytime i hear this song play because i know now she was broken deeply. this song will forever be a healing experience for me
16 years later shes happy remarried living a life i thank god shes living today because the sacrifice she went through working almost 3 jobs to support me and my sister. i can never thank her enough for what she did
wow what a great mom
Your comment touched me deeply. So many women can relate to this song I'm so happy for your mom. I love stories like this💖
The same here my husband cheated on me and it broke my heart it was like I got stabbed a million times I don't know why he did it I gave him the world I treat him the best gave him everything he wanted and I have four kids I raised by myself two jobs taking care of the kids when I will come home we'll get three or four hours of sleep head back to the other job while he was messing around and doing his drugs I didn't know what was going on but I stand hard for my own two feet and hell my head up high for my kids I had to make it every time I hear this song it hurts like I'm getting stabbed all over again by him I don't ever forget him but it's a sin not to forgive somebody so I got forgiven I don't talk to him I don't have nothing to do with him I try to stay away from him because it just brings memories of him abusing me man to leave physically and then while he was doing what he wanted to do without me knowing and it hurts every time somebody will call he will leave and tell me what's going to the corner store you wouldn't come back to the next day so I feel you how you feel for your mother I hope you feel me because my heart is trying thousands of pieces like a jigsaw puzzle I don't know where to begin I'm still by myself making it in this world my kids are growing up I'm glad that I made it I had my head up high to keep going even though I will cry in the nights and the restroom when I was taking a shower I will cry why why did I do wrong I don't know but I gave him the best I gave him the world I will do everything for you and you turn around and stab me billions of times broke my heart into a puzzle well I don't know where to put it back together again so I feel for your mother Gloria Flores
MaY GOD BLESS YOU, YOUR SISTER,YOUR MOM ,HER HUSBAND AND YOUR FAMILY!!
That’s good to hear your mom is now happy again!
The raw emotion in her voice and on her face adds SO much to this song. Absolutely love this song!
Hello Sandy how are you doing today
Sandy, she was going through a divorce at the time so it was emotional to her. That's why it's a great song, the emotion she was feeling came in the song.
The background story with her is so sad
You was beautiful just the way you were
I had no idea she was going through that but the raw emotion she gave to that song was enough to see something wasn't right in her life@@jamescook6564
I just love Jennifer's voice and her Southern accent is very strong in each song. A great vocalist beautiful person
That's the problem. No loyalty.

Miss Y'all.... Sugarland ❤🤟✌️😍🤩💯❤️
I use to play this song over and over again when it came out. I was the wife, but felt like the other woman. My husband spent all his time and affection on other women. This song gave me the strength to say enough. And I left my husband. It was the hardest decision I ever made. He was the love of my life, my whole heart. My husband never thought I would ever leave him. He changed his life completely, and won me back. Our life our love our marriage was happy, unfortunately that was only for a short time. 5 years later he died in my arms at the age of 51. My heart forever broken He was and will always be my 1 true love. Even with all the pain he caused me. I truly loved him, and he did change 100 percent.
You give me hope
You’re an angel 👼 God bless you.
I’m truly sorry but I’m glad you two reconciled for a little while…bless you stay strong sweetheart ♥️
My husband and I have now been separated 6 years and divorced 3 yrs. He also was ( at least I thought) was the love of my life. And the 24 and a half years I never saw him doing no wrong and blamed it all on myself. But now i know things I didn't but my heart aches for him still. We were 15 years old and I was 38 when we separated. He's moved on to someone else the one I think was kinda in picture. But my heart feels like it will always be broken. I trust in God and I have to much love to give someone that deserves it as much as me. It's just in his timing and a broken 💔 will be healed.
So happy you and your husband reconciled and so sorry for your loss.
This here! Felt this
I think what this song has done for many men is show us the pain and suffering we bring on loving women for out shear selfishness. When a man is in this spot he generally isnt thinking so much about the pain he is causing (both women) by stringing them both along. Those of us that have done this sort of thing after listen to this song will hopefully feel true remorse for what they have done, and for those that have not done this it might make them think twice. If your in a bad relationship, just pack up and go, don't hold keys to two doors it only make thing worse and you will lily lose both and to be honest, that is what you deserve if you put good women in this position.

Scott LaValley dam good advice Scott ! most of us ( men ) wouldn't want to admit that though. and that's a shame. be thankful for 1 good woman ! they are hard to come by
Amen Brother Tim! lol
I was recently strung along to discover he was seeing a woman who had a history of cheating on him. He's marrying her now and when I confronted him about how he hurt me, he gave me the silent treatment.
It's good to know that there are men out there who regret doing this to women (and I apologize about the women who do it to men too) and realize how much it hurts. I doubt he's one of them but your comment struck a chord with me in a good way.
Unfortunately the emotion of this song is not just a woman / man thing. As a husband that lost my wife, the only love of my life, to another man I am intimate with the pain caused by someone that played two men against each other, killing two families (2 partners and 8 kids) in the process.
The agony of trying to fix something with someone that only wants to keep lying and using you is a genuinely soul destroying endevour. I try to see through this songs plea by the third person and understand the simple pain of someone in love with someone who has made a decision not to make a decision but instead to simply go on hurting two people because they want it all.
I was 12 years old singing my heart out .. now I’m almost 27 and I completely understand how she felt
Don’t think I’ve ever seen another artist put so much passion into a song she ends up crying 👍
Speaking from the soul
@@codykelly6066she is genuine
I don't CARE if you like or don't like country music - if THIS song doesn't move you - I question if you have a heart. Her voice, the way she emotes - and if you're watching and see her eyes - you can't NOT feel something. After all these years, this song STILL chokes me up.
This song is ass though
I’m heard country music but this touch my soul
Especially if you were the wife with a cheating husband waiting at home for a man to come home never knowing whose lap he's been in on the way home from work. Song hits me the same way it did the first time I heard it. I'm lucky enough to have a man now that will never do that to me.
Oh that voice! One of the best ever in country music! Just superb. Would love to hear a new song from her---- even former president Obama made a favorable comment about her voice! 💕 🌹 rosita
"emotes"?
One of the best videos ever made... that raw emotion just pouring out of her... my God. I can't relate to the song exactly, but it's beautiful and the look on her face in the video just makes me break down every time. I just want to hug her.
ya and i love how the song starts with her begging for him to stay with her then near the end she is telling him to stay with the other woman
tears rolling down my eyes listening, btdt, but them I wonder if she is married, oh my she is sexy.
This song is still so chilling to me and I've been there and begged these words to keep my family together, looking at our childrens eyes filled with heartache
I've never heard this beautiful song before. It has so much emotional too it. It reaches into my heart. It brings tears too eyes. God bless this lady 🙏 ❤
This song still hits me 13 years later. What an incredible performance by an amazing vocalist.
Indeed. It’s like a fine wine.
It’s better every time you return for another sip.
(I just wish I could stop crying every time I return)

every time she sings this I feel itl deep in my soul. She sang it with her whole heart. Almost as if she's really experienced it. Regardless of the topic she sings it beautifully. Soulful music!!
The more you will hear the song, the more you will fall for it, this song deserves all the love and appreciation!💖
The song is about a side chick wanting him to leave his wife.
Such an emotionally raw song. 🔥🔥🔥To me the “she” in this song is drugs. If you’ve ever been in a relationship with an addict, listen again. She’s BEGGING him to surrender, to stop the pain, the excruciating hurt and give his whole self to her.😭😭😭
Going through this for 5 years now.
Let's just say that I started to cry when the song started to play. This reminds me of my mom when she always sing this song to me and my siblings. Rest easy mom

This....this song is so important...
This song is to the only man that I ever known and loved for 26 years. After, rekindled and giving him everything he still left and ran from me. He went and had his fun getting high all the time. He kept running after I begged him to just loved me but it wasn’t enough. I went homeless to be with him and I guess I wasn’t enough for him to stayed. I got to the point where his shit got old, and I finally called it quit! I’m so done with his bs to where I just hate him. So i rather set him freed, so I can be free…
May 2024, it's more valid now than ever was
Imma tru southern black guy, who love hip hop and nothing less, but this song..... This song, is real as they come. I truly love it, and it's sad that 9-4-2020, is my first time hearing it... 💯💯💯💯👏👏👏👏
Same but not the first time hearing this song i love this song
Right
I told you so call me I'm trying to play my music I'm okay you're the one and Iron Man to leave me alone so I can listen to my music so we can make it love thank you
There is a lot of great country music out . hmmmm, listen to jelly roll. I can relate 100 on most of his songs. And second chance. I spelled it wrong because he spells it different but he is a black mam singing country and some rap . Just listen . there good . im a white female that loves hip hop and country and 80s and southern rock. I don't like the new rap or hip hop but 40 years old and the old rap in the late 90s and early 2000's and mid 2000s. I love it .
I love it too I loved her songs since I was a little girl but I’m glad you heard it because it truly is a amazing song and and really is true as they come.🖤🖤

+BassProHunter14 you will find someone so much better. Actually a very similar thing happened to me, but I am so disgusted by guys right now the seemingly good guys that have come along don't get anything from me. I am just so tired.
think about it this way. you have taught him something. you have taught him not to do the things he did to someone else. so when you look back at him and see him happy don't be sad be happy you taught him what love means. if he didn't have you he would never change. yes it hurts to know he's happy and it feels like hell like your broken but what he did was teach you to be more carefully about people you date. keep your head up girl and if u want to hurt him then you do stuff for you get dressed up go out with friends have s date with a guy be happy cause being sad will satisfy him if all he really wanted to do was hurt you then shoe him you don't and never needed him your a beautiful girl and you must respect yourself before others can: )
