not on any bitter-type stuff, but i can't help BUT feel him for making this song.
as messed up as it was for him to write a song about his break up and be blatantly calling her out on her crap in front of the entire world, i'm kind of glad he did, because he makes those people who feel like they just can't do it anymore feel like it's ok to walk away. break up, even when there's still love in their hearts. understand that sometimes loving someone isnt enough to continue a successful, happy relationship. he perfectly depicts that one relationship that sucks more out of a person than the relationship seems to be bringing to them. people spend their whole relationships making sacrifices that they shouldnt have to because of 'love' until finally you just feel like can't take it anymore. i respect him for at least acknowledging that it's not that he doesnt love her, but that he just has to do it for himself.
i babbled, but basically, i'm sure there are SO many relationships out there that can relate to this song.....
this was my favorite part:
"...I'm seen around town and my friends can't recognize me,
cuz I took a chance on love. it's like I'm dying. for you I gave my heart and turned my back against the world 'cause you were my girl. I done damn near lost my mama, I done been through so much drama, I done turned into the man that I never thought I'd be. I'm ready to sign them papers, papers, papers. I done took all I can take but you leave me no options girl. I can't deny how much I love you, I done gave up everything I had to, as hard as it is I'm afraid I gotta say, I'm ready to sign them papers, papers, papers. I done took all I can take but you leave me no options girl.
I'm losin my mind. cant figure out who's wrong or right. I know it's you I love, but then I also know it's you I don't like. you claim you hate who I was, but that's the reason you here now. you think I don't know what's up, but sweetheart that's what ruined us. I ain't afraid to say I got needs, but the only time you here for me is when the bottles poppin and everything is sweet.. but I, I'm tired of sleeping in the other room spending them alone nights trying to figure out what in the hell in my heart I ain't do right for you.."

it may not be as lawfully serious as a divorce, but emotionally, it can be just as rough. but sometimes you gotta just let go when you realize a relationship is taking more from you than you should have to give. sometimes it's simply not worth it.
