Little Big Town - Better Man (Official Music Video)

'4 am' 'in the middle of the night' Definitely a taylor-written song

Because,of this song I gained the confidence to break off a 7 year relationship with a verbally abusive alcoholic. I did so today because of this song. I listened to it over and over again. until I gained the confidence to break it off. Thank you for helping me realize that all I have is my pride.

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!

My husband cheated on me and I found out the day before a life saving operation on an aneurysm I had in my heart and lung when I was only 30 years old. It ruptured on the operating table and they told me I was going to die. My daughters were ages 4 & 8. I recovered and then divorced him. He's been married two times after me. He was never happy with anything. I'm living my best life with a husband who adores me, going on 25 years now with him.

'I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man'. Beautifully written Taylor

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.

I absolutely love both this and Taylor's version. It's one of the best songs she's ever written. When you think about how young she was when she wrote so many of her hits, it's mind blowing.

“The bravest thing I ever did was run.” Love it.

My marriage ended because I wasn't a "Better Man". This song hits me deep, it makes me cry every time I listen to it.

I CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR TAYLOR’S VERSION OF BETTER MAN 🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧

Back to listen to this version after hearing Taylor’s Version. Needed to hear this bridge—it just hits different

This feels like this song was meant for me. I loved a narcissist for 36 years. Leaving was the hardest thing I've ever done. I wish he was a better man. 💔

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 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.

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

I just divorced an alcoholic. When he was sober, he was the sweetest man with the biggest heart. Unfortunately, "sober" was something he didn't do for long. So I had to go.

You can really tell Taylor wrote this. The lyrics and melody are just so her. Especially the "4am" part lol. Swifties know what I'm talking about.

If Taylor Swift released this song as her own. People wont be appreciating the songwriting here. It would just probably end up in a Gossip Article about who the song is for. I’m glad she chose Little Big Town so that this song would actually live to it’s potential.

I was that husband to my wife and sadly this song defines me in every word. She knows how sorry I am for all those terrible years and she forgives me but she's moved on. I wish I could start over and be a better man to her

Yes, Taylor did a great job on the song; but you gotta give credit where due all around and I think Little Big Town nailed this one for a Grand Slam! Love it.
