I love/hate this song… It reminds me of my last relationship. I loved him so wholeheartedly & tried hard to lift us up to keep us away from negative cycles. I had to let him go because he made me feel emotionally empty. I often felt like his love was worth more than mine. In turn, I became insecure. To anyone listening and feeling worthless, Keep your head up. U ARE WORTHY OF BEING LOVED back. FORGIVE urself for any mistakes you've made in the past. Be proud that you gave it your ALL. Find the COURAGE to LOVE URSELF THE WAY U LOVED THAT OTHER PERSON & MOVE ON.
"why u never ask for nothing, just a little time" those are the females who are worth fighting for the ones that never ask for nothing but deserve it all!
I feel like a pussy listening to this.. Kendrick why you do this to me my boy. Reminds me so much of when I was actually happy and had a sense of life..
baltimoreist I can't say I'm sad, but I can't say I'm happy either. It's just the same thing over and over. And that can really make a person feel even worse.
I relate homie, everyday wake up and bake up go to work. Same old shit, it's depressing as fuck. You just gotta break out of the cycle, move somewhere new, do something new man it's all around you, you just have to look for things that will make you happy.
ben swagginz yeah, I feel you my man. It's easier to talk than to do as we all know but I'm sure as hell that I'll try it. hopefully you can break out that shit too. I'm here with you
Crazy how all the comments for this track involve people's own interpretations and experiences of the lyrics. Kind of evident of Kendrick's power to channel thought thru his stuff.
This song brings back memories when i would sit in my room with my hood on looking miserable because my first love broke my heart. She always said she loved me but i always told her to mean what you say because it can take a toll on somebody. Months later she broke up with me, we got back together, then she led me on for three days and broke up with me again and started talking to this guy who didn't even care about her like i did. Yo, for all those out there keep your heads up man. Your worth it. To this day that shit still bothers me. People really don't appreciate what they got nowadays and that's so odd to me.
+Trevon Walker You're better than that, I feel your pain. I hope you do what's best for you in the long run, life's too short to get stuck on the drama it throws at us.
+Free Quaint Seas Thanks! I really appreciate that. I really do. One thing i say to my self is that "bad things always happen to the good people" but imma make it and thanks for giving me more hope man!
This song will forever remind me of the very emotionally abusive relationship that I just recently found the balls to leave. Will always be a tear jerker for me.
"She says she loves me... so she clings to me, even when I want to be left alone. But sometimes, she's the perfect person to listen to me" this line is so beautiful to me because it shows the complexity of love, how it isn't just a simple feeling of affection or no affection. Anyone who's been in a serious relationship understands that love is not an emotion you can control or even fully understand within yourself
If y'all ever meet the one person and it seem y'all completely the opposite and there's problems in the relationship don't walk away from it 💯 Y'all met for a reason , its called the beautiful struggle , build together
Queen B Ive been in the same position as you , it simply means the person wanted to move on because he didn't feel the long distance would work , but trust the love never dies baby girl . Keep ya head up
This song always just floods me with sadness. It's a song that whether people have experienced or not,they can sympathize with. It hurts you with how real it is and it's one of the strongest reasons why I believe Kendrick is this generation's Nas or Eminem. He is a legend
"she says she loves me and I don't know about love"......... damn that's bold. so that basically means she's doing everything to show him she cares and loves him, but at the end of the day he still doesn't get it...... :/
The hardest part for me about listening to this song is that I WAS that guy he's talking about. It matched my situation so much.. I wish I would have known the fucking irony that i'd suffer. Shoutout to the people who can relate
I treated my ex so badly that I didn’t want to be in a relationship because I didn’t want to hurt anybody again. I stayed single for like 4 years and now I’m talking to a new woman who is beautiful and absolutely perfect. It sucks because I love this woman but I’m afraid she’s gonna leave me and she’ll be my karma from my ex. It sucks loving somebody knowing they might just be your karma.
You should forgive yourself and if you can open Up to your ex and say sorry for how you have hurt her. Even if You Dont get a respond you repent on what you did to her and let her know. As far as karma probably Through those 4 years you live your karma.
You know.. that woman you've hurt long ago... she'll be happy that you may be dating and be treating your girl with fairness. Trust me, she wants you to be happy . This may be cheesy but i think so , because if she loved you that much she would want your happiness.
This song really hits you when you are going through this exact situation. My ex never cheated on me but I can definitely relate to a lot of the things Kendrick is saying. I wish I would've ended the relationship sooner cause I feel I let a guy bring down my self worth.... I know you guys don't care but I have no one to tell this too lmao
Miss VeeNicoli made my ex of a year in a half feel like that we hade a great relationship for about a year then I switched up smoked everyday never went to school then the arguments started and I would be relentless when she would accuse me of something and I would accuse her back then I just wouldn't stop and she would cry and I would think naively that she was over reacting about 2 months of those arguments and she felt like she wasn't any good I would tell her where she was good but when we argued I wouldn't hold anything back after one big fight with me in June she broke up with me and then I felt what she felt I tried to get her back I told her I would change she cut me off for a few weeks then talked to me again I went right back to accusing her I didn't change she said I could never control my anger I could never not have sex I could never stop smoking and would probably not get good grades lost the love of my life b/c of my habits my anger and my ignorance and it only got worse once I realized what I did I lost her and it was my falt you cant be good with someone else if you not good with your self my biggest regret is the way I made her feel she wasn't prefect and I allways loved her through all of her flaws flaws but I didn't desever a girl like her now flash forward 6 months what I did to her still haunts me everyday I did change tho got my gpa from a 1.8 to a 3.3 haven't smoked or drank since July and haven't done nothing with any girl and don't intend to until im married for a lot of reasons its to late tho in the worst way now she misses school all the time smokes a lot and allways seems to be angry at somebody her morals and my morals switched im not saying her friends are fake but they show all the sings a good girl goona have to go thourgh a lot of pian because of the choices shes making now and a lot of that's my falt living with that no words for it no words for the guilt its not enough to want to treat a girl right you have to set your self up to treat a girl right funny thing is now she treats me like I treated her like nothing hurt people that love us love people that hurt us get inspired
Beautiful, Beautiful song. Wonderfully constructed and wrapped up with truth. A relationship will most likely never work if only one person in the relationship truly knows what "love" is. Both have to know love and both have to be willing to give it.
How many of you are really hurt or cried while listening to this song?.. It's been a year and a half since "the man of my life" left me with no reason, without a word, without a good bye, a man that mistreated me emotionally and physically, but a man that I learned to love, now that I'm a bit more healed, I listen to this song and it makes me question my self, specially when it says "Love people that hurt us"... Life it's full of questions, but for yall that cry listening or reading this... Dont ever let no one question your love for them, if they dont believe in you.. Love your self first...
My ex text me last night saying he was thinking about me when this song came on... All I can say is it's appropriate. And of course, I still love that boy.
+ Larry Hoover, why u have so much damn hate this woman ain't do shit to you. You call her a bitch and disrespect/stereotype her as a black woman which is offensive to me also, being a young black female myself. Just because your life is shit and your miserable as fuck wishing you had a decent life or someone to love don't mean you should come at random people with your ignorant, trolling, piece of shit ass. Get off the fucking Internet and keep that shit you talking shoved down your throat
taalibah gray ayyyye, ignore it ladies. If anything, this person probably liked a black girl & got his heart broken. That anger is coming from somewhere
Man sometimes I realize how cold and heartless a person can be before they realize how cold and heartless they are being and they lose something that they don't realize they lost until it's completely and utterly gone forever and I wish I had never been so angry and unable to interstate that she just needed love and my compassion and that is all u needed to give but man I was to self involved and didn't realize that my soul mate was right there being patient and full of nothing but love and heart for me but I was to fucking angry to see and now I realize through this song that I was way to hard and I should have softened up and realized I had one true girl waiting for me to understand that I loved her and that she would do anything and I mean ANYTHING to show me that and I shoved her away before I really understood that and now I sit with my own regret and self loathing and I miss her but I drove her away and I don't know what to do anymore but man I hope things are good for her
My ex broke up with me because he couldn’t act right. All I did was love & forgive him. But he still could not treat me right. After the break up i tried to get back with him. But he said he was better without me. He started being disrespectful so I left. I loved him when he had nothing. I helped him become the man he is today. But he took me for granted. You don’t know how hard it is for the other person to go through this. I feel like my heart is broken forever.
@@seppphy Get Free Of Your Pain Let Him Know What Pain He Has Given You And Move On.. Cant Live With Having Pain You Got To It Let It Go To Keep Living
"She says she loves me and I don't know about love". I wonder how many conflicts and pain could be avoided if people were just that honest with themselves and admit they just don't know or fully understand what it means to love someone.
She says she loves me, she says she loves me so she clings to me even when I want to be left alone But she's beautiful Like sometimes when I have things on my mind, she's the perfect person to listen and she only gives advice, she says when I give her a cue She says she loves me Like when I wake up in the morning she's sitting on the edge of the bed with a plate of food, wanting to feed me She says she needs me, she says she loves me Or like when I'm stepping out of the shower she's standing there with the towel, wanting to, wanting to dry me off She says, she says she loves me So instead of admitting that she has made another mistake she says, she says she loves me And I don't know about love
cazz pharrel wtf there's no such thing about “real rap”. Music is just music you can't say some music is real and some are fake, and even I don't say that even tho I listen to tupac Kendrick Lamar wu tang clan biggie smallz all the time
Johnny De La Cruz Those are some great artists you named! I think those are exactly the kind of rappers who are considered "real" in this instance. They write their own raps and are mostly uninfluenced by corporations. You can't bottle and sell real art but, corporations do try for the sole purpose of profit.
This song brings back painful/evocative emtoions in me. This reminds me of my first love and the relationship we had. How much of myself i gave up to be with him, see him and just be in his presence. He used to always flirt and cheat on me with other girls and make me feel like i was "lucky" or "special" . We were together 3 years. From me (16-19) i remember feeling so lost. I dont know what it was that made me love him, but i did. I healed very slowly and miserably after this pain i will never love someone with the burning passion i had unless he is my husband and worthy. I just need I remember him telling me how he wasnt loved as a child and not to blame him for his coldness. I feel like this is him talking to me.
For all the men out there if your girl is doing all the signs from the first verse you got a real one! Its rare but real love exists and sometimes you gotta realize it smacking you in the face! Theres not always a piano waiting to fall on your head!
This was me with my kids father and I'm scared for life I don't ever want to feel like this again never so now I push every man that tries to talk to away sometimes it makes you just want to be alone forever
Iesha Cantril You deserve to be loved by someone that see how important and beautiful you are. I don't know how hard your situation was because I never gone through this. All I can tell you is keep going. Don't miss out on someone that could make the difference.That's a new season for you 😉
This song literally helped me understand things about my relationship. We always fight with the ones we love over little bullshit and forget that you love that person.
i feel like the outsider. everybody else listening to this song can really relate to it, but im just enjoying the music. Even though i haven`t been in a relationship, this nigga kendrick making me feel like i am. great song
I love how Kendrick's songs are not about random wack stuff, but they are about his life and the story of his life and the lives around him. Great music.
i hate the fact that opposes attract, in every relationship theres the asshole boyfriend who treats the girl like shit, while the girlfriends friend treat her like she's the world to him and comforts her but gets nothing in return
nicholas davis in my case this girl just broke my heart and was misleading me to something that will never happen, even though i gave up everything for her including losing my friends making them my foes...
Abe Paz That's your bad, not hers. If they are good friends to you, you shouldn't have to drop them for anyone. She was disloyal to you, but you chose to abandon your friends. Ain't all her fault.
Bro this bar just randomly popped in my head and made the connection… I have a feeling Drakes disses are going to Age way better than people are giving it credit for
Crazy after all the crazy things somebody puts you through you still show love and respect for them not giving a fuck on getting something in return as long as they are there..
R.I.P Shaylene you know this was my dedication to you i love you n i cant believe tomorrow will be a full complete trip around the sun since you left me n still heartbroken me and our daughter will never forget you
You deserve better. I left my toxic relationship too, and finally made time for the person who is always there for me and treats me like a princess. Life is good, you just gotta let go.
my ex listened to this song when we couldn't be together, we never did eachother wrong but we broke up because he has feelings for one of his ex's and I just don't know what to do. I gave him everything I ever could, I tried to fix things when I felt them starting to turn. and now I lost him, I can't call him mine anymore, he's just a friend now. and I love him so much, he says he loves me too but he's not in the position to be in a relationship right now. I'm just so incredibly scared that hell forget about me as he tries to recover from this situation. then one day ill be a memory but hell still have my heart in his hands and ill just be the dumbass who's still waiting because I don't want anyone else
This song is a reflection of me... I was in a opposite attractions relationship that I asked God for and didn't remember I asked for it and treated her like straight shid but once I lost her mentally I had no solution to getting her attention again... Loved her family genuinely more than her but hated how she let me run over her. Mainly strong women but just no fair shot so I expected I was the best she'd have and little did I know she'd be the best I'd had. I miss her everyday I bought a house in hopes of her coming back but I look and think she'd be a fool to come back but fools fall in love. And Ik i refuse to play foolish with her and be myself to the core... She may never see this but I love mi mada
