Brantley gilbert you dont know her like i do lyrics

Hey old friend, thanks for callin'
It's good to know somebody cares
Yeah she's gone, but I don't feel like talkin'
It might be just too much to bear
To hear somebody say it stops hurtin'
Or to hear somebody say she ain't worth it

'Cause you don't know her like I do
You'll never understand
And you don't know what we've been through
Yeah, that girl's my best friend
And there's no way you're gonna help me
She's the only one who can
No, you don't know how much I got to lose
You don't know her like I do

I can't forget, I'm drowning in these memories
It fills my soul with all the little things
And I can't cope, it's like a death inside the family
It's like she stole my way to breathe
So don't try to tell me I'll stop hurting
And don't try to tell me she ain't worth it

'Cause you don't know her like I do
You'll never understand
And you don't know what we've been through
But that girl's my best friend
And there's no way you're gonna help me
She's the only one who can
No, you don't know how much I got to lose
You don't know her like I do, oh
Like I do

Oh, you don't know her like I do
You'll never understand
And you don't know what we've been through
That girl's my best friend
And there's no way you're gonna help me
She's the only one who can
No, you don't know how much I got to lose
No, you'll never know how much I got to lose
You don't know her like I do, not like I do

Not like I do (not like I do), mm
Never understand (never understand)
That girl's my best friend
That girl's my best friend
That girl's my best friend

The lyrics to Brantley Gilbert's new single, 'You Don't Know Her Like I Do,' are a big leap in the other direction from his previous chart-topper, 'Country Must Be Country Wide,' as well as the two tunes he penned for Jason Aldean ('Dirt Road Anthem' and 'My Kinda Party'). But the Georgia-based singer songwriter says it's all part of who he is at the end of the day.

"I don't sing anything that I don't know or write anything I don't know," Gilbert tells Taste of Country. "My songs do reflect my life ... you've got your good times and your happy, party songs, then you've got your sad songs. And as you know, there’s a certain ex who I’ve written a thousand songs about [laughs]. I was in a situation where she and I broke up, and I wasn’t over it. It had been a long time, and I still wasn’t over it."

"I can’t forget, I’m drowning in these memories / It fills my soul with all the little things / And I can’t cope, it’s like a death inside the family / It’s like she stole my way to breathe / So don’t try to tell me I’ll stop hurting / And don’t try to tell me she ain’t worth it," Gilbert and songwriter Jim McCormick wrote in the song.

"I guess I just happened to have a bad day that day," Gilbert says with a laugh. "I was having some woman troubles. I didn’t really understand why all my friends were like 'Man, you’ve just got to get over it.' It got aggravating for me. I didn’t really feel like anybody understood how close we were. She really was my best friend. There was more to it than just a relationship; there was a friendship there, too. There was just this really strong bond."

"'Cause you don’t know her like I do / You’ll never understand / You don’t know what we’ve been through / That girl’s my best friend / And there’s no way you’re gonna help me / She’s the only one who can / No, you don’t know how much I’ve got to lose / You don’t know her like I do," they wrote in the lyrics of the chorus.

"People really didn’t seem to understand where I was coming from," notes Gilbert. "So this song was kind of a message to all of them to say, 'You know what … leave me alone [laughs]. I’m stuck on this deal, and I’m going to be for a while. It’s going to take some time, so get off me [laughs]!'"

Hey ole friend, thanks for callin
Its good to know somebody cares
And yeah, she's gone, But I don't feel like talkin

Might be just too much to bear
To hear somebody say I'll stop hurting
To hear somebody say she ain't worth it

You don't know her like I do
You'll never understand
You don't know what we've been through
That girl's my best friend
And there's no way you're gonna help me
She's the only one who can
No, you don't know how much I've got to lose
You don't know her like I do

I can't forget, I'm drownin in these memories
It fills my soul with all the little things
And I can't cope, it's like a death inside the family
It's like she stole my way to breathe

So don't try to tell me I'll stop hurting
And don't try to tell me, she aint worth it

Cause you don't know her like I do

Theres no way your going to help me,
She's the only one who can

She's the only one who can
No, you don't know how much I've got to lose
You don't know her like I do
