  • I've never been a Jessica fan, and I've been fortunate enough to have never been in a situation like this, but I really like this song. Such a powerful message. <3

  • this song makes me cry whenever i hear this song because it reminds me of my ex

  • This song reminds me so much of certain people in my life, through the struggles, & the hard times when you just wanna give up but you cant, you continue to go back again & again until you realize, there's more for you out there than just the same old heartache, & you finally say..NO!

  • my ma dated this guy for 3 years and he would hurt my ma :( it killed me to see her like that :( im so glad she left him and im glad she is still here i love u mommy :)

  • Amazing voice, inspirational lyrics, powerful message!

    I keep returning to this song over and over again which is interesting as I don't consider myself to be one of those men. Perhaps it's because my father was one of them and I always will have the fear that somehow, sometime I might become to be like him.

    Listening to this song keeps me on the right track, though.

    Thank you Jessica for having sung it.

    It truly is beautiful. Thank you!

  • LosAngeles333 is right. I was married to one of these men for over 30 yrs! I pulled up my big girl panties one day and left never to look back! Is it easy? No, not at near 60 yrs old! But I did it and you can too! The hardest part is finding out who you really are after being told otherwise! Hold your head up high and always "Remember That"! Thnx Jessica, you sure said it girl!

  • Brilliant song.

  • jessica inspired me alot/...her song...is so true..

  • I spent two years in a physically and emotionally abusive relationship. It came down to losing my virtue or facing my fears and leaving. Leaving may seem hard, but trust me, anyone in this situation, you can do it. You deserve so much better. There is a brighter future for you. I left mine 3 years ago, and I'm now happily with my Sailor who helped me overcome it all. My prayers go out to you all. "Take your heart and run."

  • FAGS

  • this is an awesome song i broke up with my bf 2 days ago and it was a mentally abusive relationship it built up inside me until i hit him and guess what? he hit me back even harder....and didnt stop giving me a hard time about it reminding me that i got hit because i deserved it. girls: guys like these twist everything so that you feel guilty and like they are right. do not let this happen to you....take ur heart and run away...

  • I've been watching so many relationship's JUST like this, my mom, grandma, aunt's and my close friend's. It's so hard 2 just stand there and not help. This will be perfect to take to ma grandma's work and show all the gurlsz wha they have been through.

  • I can RELATE To this so much..Scary...I too was in an abusive relationship verbally and mentally, and I was so tired of the you know we can work..it isn't that bad..I didn't hit you that hard crap!! the obsessive calls and the put downs, yet"YOU" always wanted me !! I finally found the courage to leave!!!! TAKE YOUR HEART AND RUN and DON"T LOOK back no matter how much they say they will change...JUST DON"T LOOK BACK!!!!!

  • i go though this everyday, i got beat last night he knows i have no where to go, he said he would kill me and i know he will, i hope how soon he does, i just want it to end i'm so tired, i stay up all night with my bedroom door locked, i cant do this anymore, but i do love this song.

  • @ThatPerson440 Stay strong. miracles happen everyday, and I know speaking is easier than doing and help is few, but hold on. just keep yourself alive and living. Good stuff also happens. even when we're in hell. I wish you well.

  • @ThatPerson440 u have to leave him

  • @WBSJ6970 no she had this song wrote for her

  • @WBSJ6970 Think this song was for John Mayer. The reason I think that is she spoke at one of her concerts saying she went back and thought they were gonna get back together and they didn't. That is why she wrote Sipping on History. Both on this album. So think it was for him.

  • @lovemy4boys1

    Thanks, that makes more sense

  • @lovemy4boys1 Sipping on history was for Nick. When I loved you like that and still don't stop me was for Mayer. This could be also. But I believe it was for several person in her life

  • i was in a bad relationdship for 11 yrs and had 3 kids i fiannally got the guts to live at last i got my life and two of my kids but he will never touch me again

  • fell inlove with this song.....

  • cool

  • This song has amazing lyrics! They are powerful but her voice sucks in this song

  • this song helped me get out of a abusive relationship it saved my life thanks jessica

  • if inside your heart you really feel like you cant take it anymore and you are helpless,take your heart and run. this song really inspires me take it from me it has ever happened to me when i felt like i cant take it anymore and had no mind to share but now that you got think about it.

  • such a beautiful song

  • Love this song Ive been there SO MANY times and kept going back till I just about got killed

  • Did Nick ever hit her?

  • wow, this song jus made me cry!... thank God am alone... feels kinda embarrasing! lool!

  • Dah, nice song, but I hate her voice.

  • This song still gets me everyt ime. It came out right around the time I finally got away from an abuser. I had to pull the car over because it hit me so hard. Thank-you to all of you who have posted your own experiences and given others hope. I have now been free for about 18 months, but it still haunts me at times.

  • No one should have to deal with abuse. Mental or physical. There is no difference. My mom once dated a guy and I hated him to death; and the way he talked to us was wrong, and when I talked to my mom I actually compared it to mental abuse. My brother still has issues because of what he said to us

  • first time i heard it and it sounds soooo amazing. Jessica Simpson is my second favorite singer. Shakira is my first

  • What an awesome inspirational song. Wish I had known about this a year ago when I was breaking up with my boyfriend of 5yrs, it really would have helped.

  • this is my marriage but its so damn hard to just walk away! losing the stability from him being in the army and walking away from my first everything!

  • This song is so true I have been in an emotionally abusive realationship. But have been beat before by my ex step dad!

  • @Tommy555444  agreed abusive guys are not men at all. There cowards that can't face themselves.

  • sometimes it's hard to realize your in a abusive relationship. I was pregnant and was broken up with my highschool boyfriend and he was laying in my bed and we were talking and he told he he wanted a baby just not with me and I got mad and walked away and started going down the steps and he grabbed my arm tightly and I yanked to get away from him and then I fell down the steps and lost our baby. And I was so in love with him.. I still love him..

  • @me6523 I am sorry girl. I was in a similar situation and I still love mine to. It is hard and I hope the best for you. I lost my child as well and I am sorry for your loss. :(

  • @awallkdog09 and I'm sorry for your loss. I had to give birth to her cause I was 21 weeks..

  • @me6523 Yeah its rough. I wasn't that far along. I am sorry.

  • noone should accept getting beaten and abused! NOONE

  • I like this song :'(

  • It's so hard to leave... ugh... :-(

  • sounds like a country song

  • @marryjanne420

    yea, in the instrumantalation it really does!!!

    I dont know why you got thumbs down for that comment :D

  • i had to watch my mom go thru this.

    i love this song (:

    it makes me tear up tho.

  • I have a soft and forgiving nature, but when it comes to matters of the heart relationship wise, i become hard like a rock.. i can forgive and forget and let go so easily... I see love as a raging river always changing.. if the tide gets to strong.. I can let back so easily.. and return to shore.. Let love be a raft , but never let it become your ocean, sea or river.. you have to be a guide, not a passenger,let God be your guide e.i river,sea, and ocean..never a man or woman

  • If they haven't changed yet, they never will. I know this from experience.

  • awesome song

  • 2 relatives of mine were in relationships like this.... makes me sooooooooooooooo mad

  • its not that hard to let them go if you have self esteem and self respect. Dump their asses

  • @andreskizzo your obviously a dumbass or very inexperienced relationship wise. It isn't nearly as easy as you think.

  • @awallkdog09

    you're the one who's inexperienced, cabra. And obviously people agreed with me since I got 7 thumbs up, maybe you're just one of those girls with no self respect then...

  • @andreskizzo oh really? I bet I have more experience than you can dream of...

  • @andreskizzo cabra? How bout kiss my ass (:

  • @awallkdog09 kiss that fat ass? I dont think you could pay anyone to get their lips close to that stinky hole

  • @andreskizzo lol your probably fatter than I am. You really are a dumbass bitch aren't you? You have no idea. Why don't you just stfu and don't worry about me.

  • @awallkdog09

    just stfu bitch no one cares what you think.

  • @andreskizzo ugh and you are watching a video about abusive people?

  • i love this song! its so empowering! jessica, this is such an awesome song! it got me over that period! thank you so much for recording this song jessica!

  • this is a great song for relationships.I love jessica simpson-She rocks!

  • I hear this powerful song and I remember ALL that Jessica sings about. And I recall so many nights believing there was no way out. And those nights stretched into years. I weep now for the lost time, the fear and sorrow, the awful self-loathing. But I DID eventually find my freedom. Please don't give up if you are living through this: - I know you can and you will prevail. Sending a prayer to you - whoever you are - right now. "Take your heart and run, just run..."

  • I remember this all perfectly clear! But then why do I still open the door for his drunk ass at 3am?!! ..... sigh .....

  • The same reason I take his calls and agree to see him. It's hard to let them go.

  • I know eh. Every time I let him back in, I have this lil bit of hope that he's changed for sure this time. But I'm always wrong bc the same bs happens over n over again.

  • this was exactly my marriage. I just left 6 weeks ago and last night he called over and over just like the song says. happy to post...still single!! This song will definitely give me strength. I thank God for giving me the strength to get out before it was to late. I am changing more and more everyday and I couldnt imagine going back. Thanks to ALL that love and support me. Thank you!!!

  • i heard this song right as i was leaving my boyfriend at the time who put me through all this... if it wasnt for this song and giving me that extra power when he was bagging me back and sayin he wouldnt do it again id probly be back there! this song has so much to it!!

  • Comment removed

  • I love this song! I was in an abusive relationship for 5 years. and finally had the guts to leave about 2 yrs ago. This song reminds me of exactly what I went through. Such a powerful song. This only made me the strong woman I am today, for my daughters.

  • @evelyngrz and @LosAngeles333 thats exactly how i felt...

  • i can actually imagine taylor swift singing this song!

  • This song brings out many emotions...It has been 3 years since I walked out of my abusive relationship.....It does get better...everyday I am a little more stronger.....but the memories...will unfortunately always be there....I am soooooo Happy now...and my life is great!!! Thanks for making me stronger wiser woman!!!

  • This video made me cry.

  • A touching song! I hope she has not experienced anything like this!

  • she has! she said it on an interview!

  • No she hasnt, she said on the Ellen show that she didnt even write it.

    She said it just touched her and thats why

    she sang it. she said she had never experianced anything like this.

  • Isn't it her father who writes her songs?

  • No, he's only her manager.

  • Are you sure? I've read lyrics by Something Simpson.  From a couple of songs.. Oh well..

  • OKay

  • I LOVE the part when she says "forgiviness" and the music! It's just lovely!

    Listen to: "Malo", by Bebe; it is about the same topic!

  • May she talk about Nick Lachey?

  • Amazing, Powerful song!! Luv it!!

  • ya thats right

  • Beautiful song, sounds like my relationships from the past! I learned to take control of my own life, when you do that this is when you actually start LIVING!

  • This is my song to my ex bf Bobby!!

  • So guys help me out, is she saying Nick abused her? cause at the end she says i've been in your shoes..

  • I think so, because I saw her with tear when she was singing it once...

  • no it wasn't nick and it's not even for sure she experianced it her self. she has said her self that she has seen it but she's never stated that it was her who was abused. this song was actually not one she wrote. it's just one she felt strongly about and that's why she chose to sing it.

  • oh and the ending part where she says she's been in your shoes is also part of the song. it's not something she added

  • my ex was psych/antisocial .. it was so scary ... like i was walking on eggshells every day .. i kept thinking i couldn't leave becuz i held on to the so called "good times at the beginning of the relationship " but come to realize the person i was with was only faking it ...

  • his real personality was the one who beat me and hurt me with his words..... i was so scared of him i never knew when he was gunna beat me again .. plz if anyone is in a abusive relationship plz leave and get help.. love should never hurt .. and no one that really loves u will ever hurt u .. take care

  • this song is amazing! im in a verbal abusive relationship right now...and this song is a sign from God that i just stumbled across it...ive been praying for signs...to give me some kind of strength to get out and those words are perfect bc everything but the pushing....is him..

    i LOVE this song! my new favorite! im gonna dump my bf tomorrow! :)

    and yeah nick was rude to her alot in newlyweds...im ACTUALLY watching my dvds of it now...and i feel bad for her most of the time..shes way better!!

  • im trying to leave an abusive relationship right now

  • I love this song...i've been there..won't ever be there again..i think Nick may have been verbally abusive to jessica...Nick had quite a stank attitude on the newlyweds..so who knows....

  • Iv lost my words for her

  • why are happy over someone's pain...you really need some therapy..that guy was cruel and heartless for ditching her the day before birthday..

  • Every woman and girl should hear this song, such a shame that many of them may not hear this song. This song is poweful enough to save a life.

  • i don't really like Jessica Simpson but i love this song.

  • omg love the musiiq and i heart chu much jessica..srry about the break up w/ u and nick,,and iif iit was up 2 me ya wuld b 2getha agaiin

  • This has to be one of her greatest songs ever.

    Well done, Jessica. Thank you for having the courage to come out with this, it must have been difficult for you to do.

    You truly are an inspiration to so many people in so many different ways. I love what you have done for me and I'd love nothing more than to see you perform live.

    One can always dream! Stay beautiful xxx

  • a beautiful, meaningful song.

  • abuse sucks

  • Thnx Jessica really becasue this song hat a powerfull message to all girl or women. And i love so much the meaning of the song. Keep up it Jessica <3 :)

  • this is a beautiful song!

  • This song saved my life.

  • how?

  • a powerful message by a powerful voice. awesome job.

  • This song brings tears to my eyes...When i was in grade 10 (which was only last year) i went through well all of this and this song is really powerful to me

  • Remember your heart and your mind being held hostage by an ego that always had to win, one minute claiming to be indistructible, the next minute claiming to have been "abused" and demanding all kinds of credit and remunerations for it. Yeah, I remember that. I remember wasting years of my life with someone who kept promising to be real while she did nothing but play games and accuse my gender of all kinds of crimes. Stop killing everything that matters, women. Your arrogance doesn't.

  • I wish my sister would lisen to this song...T-T....i miss my sister

  • but he flirts with other girls all the time too.

  • give up on him because he obvisously doesn't love you.

  • Aww. That sucks. Then maybe he's not interested. Try. If it's mean to happen, it will happen.

  • yea i got over him he was a jerk! now i got a bf and he is amazing thanks for the help though!!!

  • That's amazing!! :)

  • i liked a guy a lot. then he didnt like me. and he likes me again. what should i do?

  • This is dedicated to all my girls at Topeka YWCA. I love you!

  • i honestly don't think this is about any of her relationships ... this is her way to give advice to all of us who have ever been in a relationship like this.

  • i think its about john mayer or own wilson

  • <33 this song as i said b4. i can not live with this song :).

    good lyrics btw,

  • <3 this song..

  • i like the sing

    but the ending :S

    ammm i dont know what the said

    about the ending :S

    its weird ahahaha x)

  • Agreed. What is she saying Nick use to hit her and be an ass lol

  • yer agreed hehe

  • Maybe it's possible that she's been in relationships other than the one she was in with Nick Lachey.

  • i'm trying to remember just that, it's so hard though, cause they know exactly what to say, and how to drag me back </3

  • This sounds like Kirk Franklin's Imagine Me song.

  • this song hit me

    i couldnt stop balling

  • This is probably the truest song about abuse. This is exactly how it went for me until I had the sense to leave

  • I love this song. thank you jessica for this song. this is how my ex husband treated me every single day. its so sad how people can to one another

  • She really hit the nail on the head.....Abuse should NEVER be tolerated!

  • i wish i would have this before i had to get the pfa and id have given this to him to prove that abuse was not my fault. I survived abuse by a husband that wanted to kill me. And i think that if i would have stayed id be dead now

  • aww that is sad - glad u ok now though?

  • yeah getting there. After all that im in thrapy

  • I really like this song but (my opinion) I don't like the ending.. where she says, "Take it from me, I've stood there in your shoes."

  • i like that part cuse i feel not alone

  • I love this song it sounds a lot like Carrie Underwood

  • this lyric remmembers me my first boyfriend.....he was not a pure person inside

  • i know what you feel girl..

  • what i do not understand is WHY men - or women - do that to their partners!

  • i love this song, its sooo me and my ex boyfriend...asshole

  • Shes normally meant to be a country singer. She just sang pop. And I think shes better off with Country..

  • get out of there - he's obviously not your prince

  • Somebody needs to play this song for Rihanna.

  • Comment removed

  • my friends is so sad by her friend that keeps ditching her and telling her off. that friend was my bff for 7 years, and she was such a jerk for a while. my friend keeps going back to her, but it's like, remember what she's done, and how i've felt it too...

  • WOAH! shes actually good! everyone kinda talks shit bout her, but shes really really good and im totally hooked on this song now!

  • i love jessicaaaaaaaa

  • Oh wow, this has been my relationship story since January 2009 (last month). It speaks to me. This happened to me!

  • This is what I call A true life story-based song.

  • i really like this song. never listened to jessica but after hearing some of the things she has been through im kinda developing a sympathy for her. cant believe people say she cant sing. she definitely can she just hasnt been give quality songs. this is one
