《Break up in the small town》

分手是一件痛苦的事,但在小鎮上分手更是一件痛苦的事

這首歌描繪男主角和她女朋友分手,卻遲遲無法忘記她,尤其是在她交了男朋友後。

她現在的男朋友是不是也是這個小鎮上的呢?還是說是他的朋友呢?

從歌詞可以感受到的是男主角嘀咕不停的情緒及後悔還1``有她的朋友努力不想讓他知道他前女友已經有男朋友了。

每個他們去過的地方都變成回不去的''曾經''>>

這是山姆·杭特(Sam Hunt) 收錄在2015年2月- Montevallo 的專輯,也出現在第58屆葛萊美獎入圍精選和2016年告示牌音樂獎入圍名單裡

         

 

作詞:Sam Hunt   作曲:Sam Hunt

I knew I'd see her around 
I'd be at some party, she'd show up and I'd be walking out 
Or across some parking lot hiding behind her sister 
I'd look up, she'd be at the red light beside me 
In that white Maxima with the sticker on the back 
I'd act like I didn't see her 
We'd pay at the same pumps 
Flip through the same stations 
And slow down for the same curves 
Run around with the same crowds 
We just needed some time 
She could get on with her life and I'd get on with mine 
Thought I would be fine, heh, but maybe not 
I knew she'd find a way to get over me 
But I'd never thought that... 

...she would get down with somebody I know 
I guess that's just how it goes 
When you break up in a small town 
I see our friends and they put on a show 
Like they don't want me to know 
So they give me the go-around 

But there's only so many streets, so many lights 
I swear it's like I can't even leave my house 
I should've known all along 
You gotta move or move on 
When you break up in a small town 

For a while I guess they were keeping it low-key 
But now it's like these county lines closing in on me 
I see 'em everywhere together 
And it's hitting a little too close to home 
She's so far gone, she just didn't go far 
She was over me before the grass grew back where she used to park her car 
She's leaving those same marks in someone else's yard 
In someone else's arms right down the road 
And I never thought that... 

...she would get down with somebody I know 
I guess that's just how it goes 
When you break up in a small town 
I see our friends and they put on a show 
Like they don't want me to know 
So they give me the go-around 

But there's only so many streets, so many lights 
I swear it's like I can't even leave my house 
I should've known all along 
You gotta move or move on 
When you break up in a small town 

Your mailbox is seven minutes from mine 
And I drive into town sometimes I see you sittin' there with him 
And I wanna jump out 
I wanna fight 
I wanna say, "... that guy!" but I can't 
It's my fault, I let her go 
I never thought that... 

...she would get down with somebody I know 
I guess that's just how it goes 
When you break up in a small town 
I see our friends and they put on a show 
Like they don't want me to know 
So they give me the go-around 

But there's only so many streets, so many lights 
I swear it's like I can't even leave my house 
I should've known all along 
You gotta move or move on 
When you break up in a small town

Sam Hunt’s new video for “Break Up In A Small Town” is taking the internet by storm, probably because it’s so freaking relatable (and it involves an angry Sam Hunt burning things with bulging neck veins).

If you grew up in a small town, you know what I’m talking about. Break ups suck, but small towns make them suck even more.

1. You’ll see them everywhere.

“I knew I’d see her around, I’d be at some party, she’d show up and I’d be walking out.
Or across some parking lot hiding behind her sister. I’d look up, she’d be at the red light beside me.”

There is no such thing as “out of sight, out of mind” in a small town. There really is no way to avoid seeing them. You shop at the same grocery store, get invited to the same parties and eat at the same restaurants. Every time you walk in the door of place you’ll likely get a knot in your stomach worrying if they might be there. This makes any attempt at ‘moving on’ 10 times harder.

2. You have the same group of friends.

“I see our friends and they put on a show, like they don’t want me to know. So they give me the go-around.”

Dating in small towns can be tough. You have a large group of friends and are basically forced to date within it. The only problem with that is that once you have a relationship with one person basically everyone else is out of the question because its against “friend-code” to date your ex’s friends. Not to mention when you break up people can take sides and things get messy. It’s a tangled web we weave.

3. You’ll know their new guy or girl.

“She’s leaving those same marks in someone else’s yard, in someone else’s arms right down the road.”

Everybody knows everybody. Even if you haven’t formally met someone in person you already know their life story; their siblings names, what sports they played in high school, what their dad does for a living and a timeline of their dating history. Everyone has a reputation. You’ll know enough about your ex’s new fling to find some little flaw for you to pick at. Odds are they’re someone you would probably get along with great (or did), but you have too much pride to admit it.

4. Everything will remind you of them.

“But there’s only so many streets, so many lights. I swear it’s like I can’t even leave my house.”

Living in a small town means you’ve made memories just about all over it. You can drive down any given road and name 10 crazy things you did on it. This makes things especially hard when you get out of a relationship because you can’t go anywhere without being reminded of a random memory with that certain someone.

5. Trying to move on sucks even more.

“I should’ve known all along you gotta move or move on when you break up in a small town.”

Moving on is the hardest part of any breakup. Trying to figure out your life without the person who was such a big part of it is never easy. Moving on in a small town is even harder. Your pool of possible rebounds or new flings is even smaller and the drama your breakup might create is even bigger. It’s a lose-lose situation. There are two positive though, you will move on eventually and in the meantime, Sam Hunt is here to get you through it.
