Ashley McBryde - Learned To Lie (Lyric Video)

[@SHardy-xv9or]

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.

[@colorfull2472]

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

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.

[@utahguy058]

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.

[@amandasandefur1406]

Yes, it becomes the normal answer, not the truth.

[@staceyherrington2340]

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.

[@domesticgoddess9684]

@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.

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.

[@catherinepraus8635]

Commend your mother it take so much courage especially when it’s not just you you have to take care of

[@matthewhayes8642]

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!

[@TheCsaf243]

You're right. I don't think it gets any better than Ashley. She's the best out there.

[@lisaskokowski1870]

[@marialinville1076]

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. 💚

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!

[@stephanied9629]

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 KZbin 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.........

[@AndyBenitez-jy7es]

Hi Stephanie 💐💐

[@dianneperry2903]

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!!!

[@Lisa-ld1mn]

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!!!!!!!

[@stephineellerbe3526]

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.

[@paulpupo8799]

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

[@FuzzyFrogg66]

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...

[@heliguy0101]

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.

[@raegibson3066]

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....

[@christifortier2176]

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!!❤

[@heather4907]

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.

[@juliehinkle-c5t]

[@shannonasbell7583]

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.
