This beautiful song described my life at one point. I loved a guy and I thought he loved me too but he was with someone else. I stayed around until I couldn’t anymore because it was too painful. Years later we reconnected and we were both single so we decided to try. Flash forward two years and we are still so happy together and both better people than the first time we met. I am so thankful I wasn’t directly the reason his previous relationship failed because that would have been too much pressure. Sometimes you find love. Sometimes you leave because you need to love yourself and this isn’t who you want to be. Sometimes love finds you again anyway. ❤️
Lawrence Bibb I encourage you to pursue this and I hope it works out for you. But be careful not to get lost in somebody’s drama. I learnt the hard way that people rarely make a choice when they can have everything without compromise.
Hi. This happened to me too. He met me first but is in a relationship now and is getting married on May. We were so happy and everything felt right except for the fact that he is getting married already. It hurts.Even for him it hurts. But I guess, maybe, we are really not meant to be no matter how much we love each other.
I love my best friend but we're so much different in regards to Beliefs, Religion and Culture. I wish, in my next life we'd have a chance to be together. Thank you Eric
Mines the other way around @ Lindsey Escareno I’m in love with my best friend she’s amazing and accepts me as I am and doesn’t want to change me like a lot of girls that I’ve talked to and dated I love her and she knows that she just recently got out of a relationship so imma shoot my shot 🙏
This song perfectly describes what happened to me. We did love each other, but she was in a relationship already. Maybe in a different universe we're happily together
This song says so much. There was a time when I met someone a longtime ago I had wish I'd met him first. Before the scars. He was my 2nd love but in away my 1st. He's been gone since 1987. Then I was blessed to meet someone else 2 years later. But it was never meant to be. He passed in 2006. This song reminds me of them. If I had met them 1st b4 the scars.This song is beautifully written. I wish I could buy it
Hits me right in the heart harder than I’m willing to admit, my god it hurts. So much emotion I can’t help but love every second of this song. Definitely a new favorite ❤️
Lyrics Why do you look at me like that. Your eyes saying things that they can't take back. Feels good. Feels right. It don't help. Every night when the clock gets loud, I hate that I know what you're doing right now. Your arms around someone else. Every time I'm next to you, I swear that you can feel it too. How long can we do this to ourselves? In a different place and time, maybe in another life, I bet that baby you and I would have worked. We'll never get the chance to try. And what makes it worse is you would have loved me, if you met me first. I can't even count all the times I've thought about the line I'd never cross. But I've crossed that line in my head. I can't steal you from somebody else, just to have you to myself. My heart don't wanna hear me tell the truth. In a different place and time, maybe in another life, I bet that baby you and I would have worked. We'll never get the chance to try. And what makes it worse is you would have loved me, if you met me first. I'm not hanging on to hope. If you do or if you don't, I don't ever wanna know for sure.
Beautifully written and sung, I'm so glad I have found my amazing husband even though when we meet it wasn't time for us to try but thankfully a year after we got to try and we have beautiful children together. Blessed be as I'm so blessed with him and our family!!!
Absolutely amazing voice. I married the man I was in love with. This song made me cry. So happy I made my decision to say something. I was the one who loved him, we were only friends. Finally when I told him how I felt, he thought about things and saw me in a different light. His head was with a girl from High School. But he knew they weren't right together. Have been together for 10 years this December. Thanks Eric for this beautiful song. Gives me a reminder how lucky I am.
Amazing, can't stop crying. It hurts to much. I know if he met me first we would be together. But he is already married and has kids. There is no chance.
Definitely what I think and feel towards my Best Friend, we go back and forth for a little over a year now but she's still with that guy. Love the lyrics though, it's the Truth and just so relatable to. Keep up the good work.
You can't imagine how many time's in a day I keep listening to this song over and over again. I felt in love with your an amazing voice and this is great song ever. Your voice remind me of someone I love......someone who was in relationship already. And I had wish I'd met him first. But it was too late for me...It Hits me right in the heart...and it' hurt.😔💔
I’ve listened to this song over and over since coming across it! My Alexa is tired of my asking for it I’m sure!!! ❤️ This song is amazing! It is so fitting for my situation! I could listen to it a million times!
First time listener. But oh MY! The tears were real! In love with the voice and the lyrics! Please keep writing! You’ve got it all ❤️ I’ll definitely continue to listen and wait for anything else you release! I’m a huge fan!
Just went through something like this with a female I was recently dating things happen for a reason for better of for worse if you see this just know you’ll always have a spot in my heart no matter what happen between us thank you Eric for making this beautiful song took the words right out of my mouth🙏
This is a great song. It really helped me get through the hardest breakup of my life. I have been listening to this song for months and thought you should know that I finally reconnected with the person that I think may be the love of my life. Thank you so much for writing this song!
Heard the first few words as I was parking the truck tonight and something about it just struck me. Found the song on RUclips and it's as good as I felt it was going to be. Entirely relatable, completely moving. ❤
Wow I just happened to come across this and I’m blow away by how amazing the lyrics are and your voice is so calming I could listen to it all day (and I probably will because I will keep hitting replay for a million days😂❤️)
I can actually say I've felt this from both angles before.... This song is so powerful! Thank you for making me feel so many deep emotions. Congratulations on this beautifully written song. P.S. I cried lol
This song is so me..I went to school with this girl we became friends for a few years and the day I was going to tell her how I felt and ask her to be mine I found out through Facebook she ended up with someone else with a default picture of her in his arms. 5 years later I was invited to her wedding and I watched her get married.
😍😍 I seriously can't help but listen to this song 2-3 times in a row Everytime it's on now. I totally relate to this in so many ways! Plus is it bad or horrible to say it's refreshing and nice to not have a typical rough or low like country voice and to hear you Eric with a TOTAL and unexpected voice? 😉😂😍 But really, you are AMAZING and sooooooo good!! Keep it up! And give us more with your amazing and beautiful unique voice!
This damn song. It’s soooooo beautiful, and to be honest this is my 6th time playing it. I love country music. 😭😭😪😪🤧🤧. I was lucky this song showed up as recommended on my page.🤧🤧
Cause you would have love me, if you met me first!!! I love this song so much. Having feelings for someone you can't have is a dreadful sight. I feel sentimental for the lyrics. ❤️
This was my situation for me and my now boyfriend 😭😭❤️❤️ he had always liked me but I had a boyfriend and he waited for the longest time now we are a happy farmer couple 😊😊😊❤️
I stumbled accros this song and I was so soothed. You have a voice of an angel 😇😇😇 Keep singing please never never NEVER stop. You are amazing and I know you will grow ❤️❤️❤️
This song reminds me of a Girl who I had her heart set for me but couldn't give because someone came first in her life ... She knows I love her and I know she loves me back but it was at the wrong place and wrong time..
Eric for real this song have really change something in me. You're my idol. I can replay no stop and I'm never tired of listen this song. So proud of you and of this song😍😍
This randomly came on when on autoplay after listening to the James Barker Band. I immediately added it to my play list. It's beautiful, yet a little heartbreaking. LOVE 😍💕
I grew up on rock and roll never got into country until I heard your music. I can officially say I am a country music lover!!!!!! Keep up the good work your voice is so relaxing
And I press the bottle to my lips, Just one more time, wishing for one more night, Feeling all torn up inside, over you They say if you love someone you let 'em go, Instead I, Let you know, How much I loved you, I just wish you loved me too.
I really like this song if i meet my boyfriend this is the right song for me and him because he far of me ,im very excited for his coming From Finland to Philipines i love this song
I have a really perfect girlfriend who loves me so much and I feel so bad because I’m still trying to get over my toxic abusive ex. But she is so patient and understands that It’s going to take me time to open my heart and learn to trust people. I just keep wishing that I’d dated her first instead of my ex...
Heart breaks every time I play this.. just a little bit.

Sometimes you find love. Sometimes you leave because you need to love yourself and this isn’t who you want to be. Sometimes love finds you again anyway. ❤️
Your comment inspires me.. Im talking to a girl and we have a connection but her ex is still in the picture... Someday maybe it can work out

Lyrics
Why do you look at me like that.
Your eyes saying things that they can't take back.
Feels good. Feels right. It don't help.
Every night when the clock gets loud,
I hate that I know what you're doing right now.
Your arms around someone else.
Every time I'm next to you, I swear that you can feel it too.
How long can we do this to ourselves?
In a different place and time,
maybe in another life, I bet that baby you and I would have worked.
We'll never get the chance to try.
And what makes it worse is you
would have loved me, if you met me first.
I can't even count all the times I've
thought about the line I'd never cross.
But I've crossed that line in my head.
I can't steal you from somebody else, just to have you to myself.
My heart don't wanna hear me tell the truth.
In a different place and time,
maybe in another life, I bet that baby you and I would have worked.
We'll never get the chance to try.
And what makes it worse is you
would have loved me, if you met me first.
I'm not hanging on to hope.
If you do or if you don't, I don't ever wanna know for sure.
Sugam Dahal every night when the Quite gets loud. Just an FYI
...and what makes it worse is you would have loved me if you met me first...
Idk how many time's in a day I listen to this so just because I feel it take ahold of my heart from the meaning it holds!
I wish someone loved me this much.
No one does.
Beautifully written and sung, I'm so glad I have found my amazing husband even though when we meet it wasn't time for us to try but thankfully a year after we got to try and we have beautiful children together. Blessed be as I'm so blessed with him and our family!!!
