I discovered this song at the end of my marriage and we hadn’t separated yet but I knew it was coming soon because we were both so jaded and so distant from each other. When I heard the first time I cried like a baby because I saw our future and saw that we were destined to fall apart

[crzyleo]

I can't get enough of this womans beautiful voice.

[asarsalari]

This somg reminds me of a painful breakup in 2011 when I was young lol.. It's amazing how this song makes me cry even though I dont have any feelings for her or think about her at all... it just brings back the feeling of that pain which was such a formative part of my growing up ❤

[danielaires]

“Now that's twice you broke my heart now
the first was way back when
And to know you're still unhappy only makes it break again “

😢 breaks my soul everytime

[jokerzbabe]

She sounds exactly like the official studio audio. Hands down one of my favorite voices.

In this world of programming in music, it's nice to experience what real musicians can make a song feel like....

First time hearing this song, and I was blown away by both the song and the singer!

[sandiboyd]

I just love her with John Prine! Can’t listen enough!

[seanpaulcurran]

This record is amazing. Each time that I listen to it, more layers reveal themselves from within the songs.

[justthinking]

I'm reading Broken Horses and visiting every song she mentions in her book. This song is from me to Kay Douglas. I guess they all are.

[micahk.]

I absolutely love her!
Her gnarl is beautiful ❤️

Brandi Carlile: 'Every time i hear that song' is ONE of the best and inspiring song

[ipup]

[Verse 1]
A love song was playing on the radio
It made me kind of sad because it made me think of you
And I wonder how you're doing but I wish I didn't care
Because I gave you all I had and got the worst of you

[Chorus]
By the way, I forgive you
After all, maybe I should thank you
For giving me what I've found
Cause without you around
I've been doing just fine
Except for any time I hear that song (ooh ooh)

[Verse 2]
And didn't it break your heart when you watched my smile fading
Did it ever cross your mind that one day the tables would be turned
They told me the best revenge would be a life well lived
And the strongest one that holds would be the hardest one to earn

[Chorus]
By the way, I forgive you
After all, maybe I should thank you
For giving me what I've found
Cause without you around
I've been doing just fine
Except for any time I hear that song (ooh ooh)
Oh, any time I hear that song (ooh ooh)

[Verse 3]
When I woke up in the morning I was choking on some words
There were things unsaid between us, there were things you never told
Now that's twice you broke my heart now, the first was way back then
And to know that you're still unhappy only makes it break again

[Chorus]
By the way, I forgive you
After all, maybe I should thank you
For giving me what I've found
Cause without you around
I've been doing just fine

By the way, I forgive you
I never will, never will forget you
For giving me what I've found
Cause without you around
I've been doing just fine
Except for any time I hear that song (ooh ooh)
Oh, any time I hear that song (ooh ooh)
Oh, any time I hear that song (ooh ooh)
