This song perfectly describes a relationship with a narcissist. Every single lyric is exactly how I felt in a narcissistic relationship. This song gives me goosebumps because it shows the cycles I went through. Plenty of people would ask why I didn’t leave earlier, but in abusive relationships, you grow traumatic bonds (intermittent positive rewards). You crave for the next high (emotionally speaking) of when the abuser will be nice again and treat you right. The cognitive dissonance can be so confusing and contribute to staying in these toxic relationships for years. The lyrics in the song depict cognitive dissonance with an abuser so greatly when Shontelle says, “Keep tellin' myself that its not worth it. I already know I don't deserve it, but if its from you I don't mind hurting.” Please know you deserve better than being in an abusive relationship with anyone. Many don’t know about trauma bonds and cognitive dissonance and how difficult it can be to finally walk away. Research about it, especially if you feel this song resonates with you as it does for me so strongly. If you can, get into trauma therapy and find your self-worth again through healing! I hope this helps someone out there, because I felt someone needed to read this. Be well!
Thank you. I am in this situation right now after one month being with one trying to detach thank god at least we don't live together but he messed me up he infected me n now I'm working on healing
Thank you for your comment. I lost my husband of 35 years two months ago. It was definitely a toxic relationship but we truly did love each other. We would split up for a year or two then get back together and be the happiest ever. Then 6 months to a year later be fighting all the time again. It was always me initiating the break up. He was always hanging on for dear life to our relationship so it always seemed as though he loved me more. Anyhow, he passed two months ago and I'm really, really struggling with it. This song hits a spot though.
Its so hard to let go of those relationships that cause you so much confusion and hurt. you love them but they will never love you like they should, and sometimes that's the hardest thing to admit. I'm so glad I let go and this song perfectly describes how i felt
I heard this song for the first time in 2010 and was going through a break up .. Painful looking back at my younger self sobbing in the pillow from first heartbreak .
how I felt when I was in my abusive relationship ayyyyye I'm so glad I got my boyfriend who tooo sweet to ever do that to me I love him. love you zamarrius

Sometimes we fight, sometimes I cry Why don't I just tell him goodbye Sometimes I should, but sometimes I don't Build up the strength to say that it's wrong Sometimes I hate, sometimes I love Sometimes I hurt, sometimes I don't Sometimes I wait for him to change But it's okay, I've disguised the pain And I don't ever wanna leave him alone They say I'm brainwashed but I'm in love with this man, yeahh Keep telling myself that it's not worth it I already know I don't deserve it But if it's from you I don't mind hurting This is my perfect nightmare So when will I wake up and scream No way, no way, no way, No way, no way, no way, no way But if it's from you I don't mind hurting This is my perfect nightmare, perfect nightmare Sometimes I keep my cool, sometimes I let him know Sometimes I even pack my bags to walk out the door Sometimes I feel safe, sometimes I really don't Sometimes I promise that I'm ready to let him go But I don't ever wanna leave him alone They say I'm brainwashed but I'm in love with this man, oh oooh Keep telling myself that it's not worth it I already know I don't deserve it But if it's from you I don't mind hurting This is my perfect nightmare So when will I wake up and scream No way, no way, no way, No way, no way, no way, no way But if it's from you I don't mind hurting This is my perfect nightmare, perfect nightmare Hoping he's changing, but I'm scared he's not Can't see a way to leave, help me open my eyes Keep telling myself that it's not worth it I already know I don't deserve it But if it's from you I don't mind hurting This is my perfect nightmare, perfect Keep telling myself that it's not worth it (no way) I already know I don't deserve it But if it's from you I don't mind hurting (don't mind hurting) This is my perfect nightmare So when will I wake up and scream No way, no way, no way, No way, no way, no way, no way But if it's from you I don't mind hurting This is my perfect nightmare, perfect nightmare No way, no way, no way, No way, no way, no way, no way But if it's from you I don't mind hurting This is my perfect nightmare, perfect nightmare

Hello, my dream is to be a singer, I have some covers on my channel I know is a lot to ask but could you please check it out? Please help me to come true my dream, I’ll be grateful&
Every single guy my sis has been with has made her cry, they tell her that they love her then cheat on her or lie to her face. I will always stand by yor side sis because I love you and I hope you find Mr. Right someday.
i love this song and i dont think is fair that it only has 4 million views when i think it should at least have more than 50. Great song great video. Love u girl.
I first I thought it was talking about abusive relationships. In which the guy shows the dream many women wants and then changes into the sicko every good friends is afraid their girl-friend/sister/mother may get into. Glad it's not.
