J.Howell - Why You Hurting Me (Official Video)

"After the passing of my grandma, I needed to write a song that channeled the pain I was feeling but also captured the beauty that my grandma exuded to all those who got to experience her".

"This song emphasizes the need for someone to self-reflect and reaffirm to themselves their value and worth. No matter how much you love someone, if they are not ready or willing to make it work then you need to accept it and move on."

"I wanted the video to illustrate me alone with my thoughts and music. Sometimes we have to be alone and engage in those tough conversations with ourselves, and remove all distractions, even the person you want to be with the most."

(LYRICS)
What If I told a lie
What if held your heart in my hands
What if just loan my love
What if I
What if I didn’t care too much
What if I dropped the ball on us
What if I found somebody better instead
If you don’t love or care no more
deep in your heart like you use to
let me know i’ll be gone
gone this time for sure

I need you to hurry up and get over here
cause my mind and my body slowly fading
I’m trying not to be so impatient
But you hurting me
When you say you care
But you don’t understand
My time is precious and I’m not waiting
i’m with you next day it’s like we’re strangers
why you hurting me

you don’t gotta apologize
i’m not trying to start a fight
i just want to reconcile it
baby let me all inside
tired of trying to read ya mind
this time want you just be honest
Baby don’t lie to me
promise you’ll never leave
baby don’t let these feelings past
what’s it gone take for you to see
that your the only one for me
there’s no place i’d rather be yeah
If you don’t love or care no more
deep in your heart like you use to
let me know i’ll be gone
gone this time for sure

But I need you to hurry up and get over here
cause my heart and my body is slowly fading
I’m trying not to be so impatient
But you hurting me
When you say you care
But you don’t understand
My time is precious and I’m now waiting
i’m with you it’s like we’re strangers
why you hurting me yeah
why you hurting me
why you hurting me

[jennifermitchell]

When you love someone so much. No matter what they say or do. You still rely to hold on to that lil piece of hope.. please God strengthen me oh God.

[kazyee]

It hurts when someone makes you feel like you're so special today and treat you like shit the next day 😭... to everyone hurting right now, you deserve better!

[iambeauttyy]

Song hit so different when you’re really going through it 😞♥️♥️

[alichajamison]

Amazing how over night someone can become a .

[willg]

WHY IS THIS MAN BEING OVERLOOKED? HE’S GIVING REAL RNB INSTEAD OF THE BULLSHT BEING PLAYED NOW..GIVE IT HIM HIS RESPECT IN THE INDUSTRY💯

[blackmoon]

It’s crazy how he’s singing about being in pain but hearing that immaculate voice, seeing that clear skin and him in all white feels so peaceful 😩💜🌻

[missred]

What if when he's finally READY, She's finally DONE 💔

[Kissesthesky]

Love is the most powerful experience one can ever feel. When you have a heart that knows how to love with no limits and you take the risk to be vulnerable giving one person the power to either hold your heart close to theirs or tear it apart. It’s a risk that’s worth taking even to feel the love for just a moment. This song hit my heart to the core, a tiny bit of hope can go a long way but it’s not okay to be toyin with.

[michaelamoses]

"I'm with you, next day it's like we're strangers"... This song just expresses everything I've been feeling.

[ladybaps]

This is why I love youtube...every so often you come across jems like Mr.Howell. This was beautiful...thank you!!!!

[brittanybutler]

Wasn't expecting for this song to be my current situation. Now I'm crying.

[taneishamccreary]

He can sing a nursery song & I would listen to it 🥰😂😂💯 N my kids grown 🤭

[CherylClark-dglv]

J.Howell is on another level! My short video *at my channel* on how to blow up gave J.Howell the extra push they needed to get noticed.

[yesRoxs]

Grown man sh!t here. All his songs are on point. His music takes me back. His voice is unique and very distinct.

[queenmajor]

I listen to his whole album without skipping

[teamnicole]

Absoutely beautiful...and honestly luvs, I don't feel like J Howell is singing solely for profits, I feel like he truly enjoys singing from his soul and his heart.

[toshaangelle]

This song has become my very story this week..being in a marriage and constantly trying to be the bigger and better person never feels good when your the only one doing it...this song hits differently when u put yourself in the song.. the words are perfectly harmonized and the Lil orchestra of instruments at the end just makes my heart melt...😢😢

[KaylubCarter]

I found this song two days ago and I’ve never felt more connect to a song before. It’s saying all the words I wish I could. It’s like I’m fighting for love. Damn

[silknasty]
