Little Big Town - Better Man (Official Music Video)

“I see, the permanent damage you did to me, never again. I just, wish I could forget when it was magic”. Very seldom have lyrics so perfectly captured my true feelings.

[@tracynormand2151]

AMEN! My ex kept asking me what he could do to change my mind, so I sent him this song and told him this was just a small part of my decision to leave. That was 11 years ago and he's still trying to figure out a way to "make it work"..."I'll do anything"...if he'd have been a better man back then, we'd still be together, but I'd never go back to the toxicity, nor will I tolerate being treated the way he treated me!!!

My ex wife used to play this song in the background and I never really listened to it.. till I took her on a family trip, to Korea, and then she left me after. This song kept popping up to me and I finally listened to it.. then I have listened to it dozens and dozens of times.. it helped me cry the pain away but also help me be a better man. So now, 4 years later I am a better man but still love this song. So this is to my ex wife. Your prayers were answered but years later.. I'm sorry but bless you and your family now!

Wow, after spending 22 years with an abusive husband and father of my two children, this really hits home I ran from him, running away from my home and everything to escape the abuse that I had grown strong enough to overcome. Now years later, he and I are friends and I miss him, but I am not gonna cross that bridge again, cause like the song says,,, he still needs to be a better man, where I am concerned. I just think there are some bridges once crossed are better left behind. I LOVE THIS.

[@lucennastryker9093]

Ignoring all of the romantic lyrics and themes in this, this song actually describes pretty well how I feel about my dad. I genuinely wish he was a better man. This song really captures how we can't just turn off our love for people, even when they're so bad for us. I had to move away from my parents before I could begin to heal my relationship with my dad. If you need to do the same with someone, please know that it's not always weakness to walk away. Like the song says, sometimes the bravest thing you can do is run.

I found that better man. Everyone deserves someone who hugs and kisses you at night, misses you when you're gone, doesn't have to be flowers and chocolates, but someone who appreciates you. If it starts to not feel right, as much as it hurts, its better to leave before it becomes violent. There will be a better man around the corner.

[@kylekampa6721]

Who says that every relationship will turn violent if it doesnt feel right?

[@carlahandley3513]

Lisa Mull so true

[@ghostlywhitedirewolf]

So true - I broke up with my boyfriend two weeks ago. He had a lot of mental issues when I met him but he was working through them and on the right track. I thought he was it, that we would get married and I was so happy, then two months ago things started to spiral, he was manipulative and angry and aggressive and I left. He's now blaming me for his life de-railing, but he wasn't looking after himself any more and I can't help someone who won't help themselves. He texted me after the breakup saying that he was sorry that he didn't appreciate me when he had me and he wished me the best. This song sums up everything for me right now.

[@JennyMulhenny]

This song hurts. But because I took my son and ran, he grew up to be the better man his father can never be.

This song means more to me than I could adequately put into words. I first heard it just as it became clear that I needed to walk away from a toxic relationship, and the words gave voice to feelings I couldn't express. Although it's taken me a while to break free (and in my heart I'm still not totally free) this song gave me the courage to do "the bravest thing I ever did". It's been a year now and I still feel weak and addicted to the time it felt like magic, but I hear this song and I know I'm better off on my own. Thank you, Taylor, for masterfully putting into words what I could not, and to Kimberly, Karen, Jimi, and Philip, for making it into such achingly beautiful music. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is why they say music changes people. Song of the Year? More like song of a decade.

The details are also so clever; the cup on the sink along with the dirty dishes later dripping coffee, the watch on the table being on her dad's wrist, the wedding ring left alone and the different shots of each character running across the field, hesitantly looking behind like they know they have to leave but it tears them apart to do so.

@@AJ-ez4hn I appreciate you opening up about this because I know it's not easy especially with people you've never met but I understand because that's how my wife is with me, she told me on the phone recently that given the chance to do it again she wouldn't and she forgives me. You have been through a lot and no woman should ever be put in an abusive situation by any man. My wife had told me that it's easier to forgive me because now it's over between us and she doesn't have to go through that again.

Credit goes to Taylor for writing it my guy

[@mrchoonleong]

This song is so beautiful on the bands part and the lyrics written by TAYLOR

[@charlesgarrett4747]

Little Big Town has paid their dues. year after year at "The Country Music Awards," I would see them nominated and not win. Finally here, in 2016, they were recognized as Country Group of the Year and I know deep in my heart that they should have been recognized many times earlier.

[@donnaeasty1816]

I see this song winning them a Grammy next year. Would be great to see them rewarded. They are fantastic.

[@justcutiecats2733]

What do you mean? They had won vocal group of the year at cma since 2012.

[@charlesgarrett4747]

Donna, the truth of the matter is that in my opinion,one does not have to be so "politically correct" in their statements about specifics. Sure, they may have been recognized in 2012 as Maz Max said and I apologize to him for my error. But I strongly feel that this "Incredible Band," has been overlooked so many times that they could have been honored and it would literally bother me because I didn't understand why? I feel your support and greatly appreciate the fact that there is another person or maybe many who can vouch for the Way we feel about them. I just became baffled at the fact of the nominations, stating their worth to the "Country Music" industry but never really allowing them to be a winner in any award category, (possibly my error Maz Max.) It makes me feel better knowing I was wrong but I just remember what I remember and that does not see them being recognized for their "Full Potential," as a true "Country Music Band." I do hope you are right Donna because this song deserved recognition as so many others have. The difference being that this song sounds "Country," when today, most "Country " songs do not. Please don't get me wrong. I like the direction that Keith Urban and many others have taken Country Music. In speaking of Keith Urban, he is another who has not been recognized for his full potential. Peace to 'You" Donna!

[@justcutiecats2733]

Charles Garrett Yeah, I agree with you. They had been around in the music industry, but they didn't get much recognition even when they won a Grammy for Pontoon, Not many people know them before Girl Crush.

[@charlesgarrett4747]

Maz Max is right. All those years to go unrecognized by many in the industry and finally recognized for "The Country Music Force" that they really are. Thanks to those who took notice this and hopefully for many years to come!

Its really hard to leave someone you love but is taking you for granted and treating you wrongly, but when you have the courage to finally leave him, i promise it will be a whole lot better. Thats why self-love is so important, you should never stay in a relationship where the other doesnt give you the respect and love you deserve.

[@t-swizzle1391]

Simran M The song is amazing for sure. However, Taylor Swift wrote/composed the song, not just the lyrics. Taylor sent the finished song to Little Big Town for them to have a listen and decide if they wanted to cut it or not. People do not understand that Taylor is quite the musician as well and is often mistaken as being the type of artist that only contributes the odd lyric here and there. If that were the case Taylor Swift would be spelled C-A-R-R-I-E U-N-D-E-R-W-O-O-D!!!

When I was a child he never hugged me told me he loved me and it really affected me as I became an adult looking for that in a man I had a lot of learning and growing up to do in my 20s because of it ..... so when I listen to the song it's not because I'm in a relationship it just reminds me of myDad
