I cry every time I hear this song. My best friend was name Alyssa. When we were in 2nd grade, her mom shot her in the chest 9 times.. From that day forward, I have been scared to ever find a new best friend. R.I.P. Alyssa Musselman. I love you so much! You never deserved what Amy did to you.
My dad showed me this song when I was about 7 years old. About a week before he was drafted. I lost him a month later. This was his favourite song. 5 years later and I still can't listen without tears. I misss you pappa. So much. We all do
Thank God for the Dad i have now, because if i grew up with my biological dad i would've been abused, God has blessed me with a wonder step - dad, and i'd rather get yelled at on from time to time instead of getting abused.
""""'cause she doesn't lie in the classroom she doesn't lie anymore at school Alyssa lies with Jesus.... because there's nothing anyone would do..""" >> After that i cried.. i've been searching for child abuse songs, and this is the first song in the list.... damn i started crying already...damn it...
My dad dedicated this song to me due to all the abuse I've been through or have witnessed in my life. It makes both me and my dad cry every time we hear this song. I can never listen to this without crying.
"Alyssa lies with Jesus, because there's nothing anyone would do" The sad truth to child abuse ...."because there's nothing anyone would do" ..........
My solution would be personally send the abusers to meet Jesus themselves and answer for their crimes. God would forgive me I'd be doing the world a favor.
7 years later and this song still gives me chills. Even more so now that I'm gearing up to be a teacher. I can't even imagine my students going through this, or any kid period.
My friends have been abused and so has my girlfriend especially when she was a little girl. I HATE not dislike HATE anyone who abuses their child. I've heard all of the stories; they have a ruined sex life, poor relationship, and the worst of all is the mother died in labor, well, guess what...THAT DOESNT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO ABUSE THEIR KID, THEY DIDN'T ASK TO BE BORN don't take it out on the children. Thank you just had to get that off my chest.
I was abused as a child so every time I hear this song it reminds me of how I was beaten by my drunk father in his rage. But what makes me cry is how I was lucky to have gotten out of that situation but yet so many children arnt as lucky. The part where it says "Alyssa lies with Jesus, because there's nothing anyone would do" makes the tears start because it reminds me that children are dying from the same thing I experienced. I pray for the abused children everywhere.
Mine names Alyssa, and when I was little my mom abused me, she held me upside down and repeatedly smacked my back, and lower areas. The bruising was really bad, and she actually hit my hard enough my kidneys bled a little. I was two or three when it happened, now I'm 15 and living with my father, and sadly my mother did not go to prison for what she did.
The sad part is that if she had done that to an adult, she would have definitely been convicted of assault and done time in prison. People get much lighter punishments (and sometimes no punishment at all) for assaulting defenseless children...and even their own children, at that. It's sickening. I'm so sorry that happened to you when you were little, and I hope your dad is a lot kinder to you and is a much better parent than your mom was.
Usually this song upsets me just because of the fact of what it's about. It doesn't upset me as in make me angry; it makes me sad. However, there is one bit that absolutely fills me with grief. the part of the song that goes "Because there's nothing anyone would do." and it just makes me realize how corrupted society really is. "There's nothing anyone WOULD do" not could. Meaning something could have been done but it wasn't.
There is something you might realize when you get wiser and that is its easy to be a moral high horse. Its easy to say society is corrupt but what gives you the right to say that? Have you adopted or fostered cared a child? probably not. Im all for everyone wanting to end child abuse, but the way to do isnt to protest the horrors of it on youtube or social media for moral virtue. You wanna ended it go take action. I can almost guarantee you dont based on your comment because I have yet to hear anyone that foster cares or adopts(american children10+) say such things. You get a different perspective on the world when you live a life like that. One that isnt in a social echo chamber of people patting themselves on the back for doing nothing.
Born free shut the hell up! I'm a survivor of child abuse and I don't mean modern-day child abuse if a parent takes the toys away they get the cops called on them know I mean I was black and blue on a daily basis yeah I get really pissed off when I hear that same line there's nothing anyone WOULD do I told my teachers I told my principal I told my counselor I did everything I could so people like you pretending like you're high and mighty by calling people an echo chamber you are the f*****-up piece of s*** do I have adopted children no why because I am a grown f****** adult who knows that I wouldn't be able to handle it why because of the s*** I've been through so shut your mouth and grow the hell up!
This makes me cry so hard every time I hear it. Even if you're not sure that a kid is being bullied or abused, tell someone if you think it's happening so it can be stopped before it's too late. Show that person who's being hurt that they're not alone and that there are people who love them and want them safe from harm.
I still remember hearing this song before school and I cried so much. And I still cry as this song plays. Probably one of the saddest songs I've ever heard.

I named my daughter alyssa 3 years ago because of this song and now she listens and sings this with me i love her so much.
What pisses me off the most is when you tell people and they don't listen. One of my foster mothers used to back hand me and two four and seven year old little boys, and when I tried to tell my case worker he acted all affronted and said how the woman was an angel for taking in said boys because they were brothers and the little one had chest problems and I was like,'gee, she hits him in the chest an awful lot for an angel.' Honestly I just think that the people who don't listen about it are just as bad as the abusers.
Anna Harris I am so Sorry my daughter's were abducted by their father.my daughter told me about abuse at the hands of complete strangers,father.I reported statements word 4 word to cws/cps.They told me that " ALL "mothers" make up MOLESTATION. Next I was told 2 call SHERIFF'S dept. for interview of my daughter ,but,instead wolf pack gang of woman deputies (4-5) walked into our home.They took my daughter's gave 2 cws.Cws gave them to abusive foster monster's.The people who foster/adopt are the MOST DISGUSTING PEOPLE. I WOULD NOT GIVE MOST OF THEM A DOG ,LET ALONE MY PRECIOUS innocent DAUGHTER'S. In fact if I had done any of their Criminal Child i would have recieved a death sentence every week.All of the Criminal abuse fosters/adopters get away with EVERY BIT OF IT. COMMUNITY CARE LICENSING LOOKS THE OTHER WAY. CWS, and LICENSING IGNORES MOLESTATION OF CHILDRE BY FOSTERS 2 ! If i had known about this Child Trafficing business aka FORCED ADOPTION I WOULD HAVE NEVER BEGGED GOD FOR CHILDREN .TY 😥
+Angela Barff Sounds like a load of rubbish to me and don't you dare call all foster parents abusers! The vast majority are excellent people! Most children abused are victims of their own parents or a close relative
THIS IS WHY I CANT LISTEN TO MANY COUNTRY SONGS I MEAN I LIKE ALL MUSIC BUT THIS MAKES ME JUST CRY AND FEEL HORRIBLE AND KNOWING IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY AND NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN SOCIAL SERVICES DOES NOTHING IN TIME SMH
I was abused for 15 years. I was lucky enough to come through it but I know there are many children who don't. This song is beautiful and very touching.
i saw Jason Michael Carroll in concert and he sang to me which made me so happy but i seriously started crying when i sang along to this song, he sings this with a lot of emotion. he is amazing and his music is amazingg
My abusive mother was a Marine, so maybe you'll understand better than most what that entails. I can't listen to this song without bawling because my sister and I are lucky to have survived our upbringing. Mother treated us like we were "the enemy". Our stepfather was a Force Recon veteran and she kicked HIS ass, because she had crazy on her side. We were just kids... This song makes me bawl like a baby for my sisters that I couldn't protect. I hear the words and see their faces, their bodies covered in bruises and I hear their terrified screaming. I feel more guilt than words can convey that I didn't die for them, like I don't deserve to have survived.
I have a major case of ptsd and I go off a lot over little things that most people don't worry about but,when it comes to kids ill kill anyone who harms one
I never knew the lyrics of the song. I always thought it said "a lesson in life". I was so wrong. Now I'm sad 😢😢 and his voice is perfect for this song.
To all those who are abused know that you are not alone. You are loved. And Never Give Up Hope! No matter what. Never believe those hurtful words said to you, they are not true. Your beautiful and talented and wonderful. My heart goes out to all.
i've been abused my whole life n i can tell you that you never really do get over it. there's always something in the back your mind. when someone gets too close to you or something n you freak out...how do you explain that to your friends or whoever? my two friends were abused and they got killed. i miss them so much
when was a little girl me and my sister would play dolls and listen to music so she put this song and Jesus take the wheel i was lije 5 or 6 i bust onto tears because i knew wht the songs were about and everytime i hear those two song i bust into tears
My name is Alyssa, and I was physically abused by my step dad from the age of 6 till 16. I would go to school and lie to everyone when they asked about my bruises. The only difference between my life and this song is that I survived. If someone comes to you for help, do something about it. You can help, and you could save a life
Amen! I'm glad you got through it. Hate that you went through it but glad you came out the other side. It makes me so angry and sad to think about this type of stuff. Kids are amazing and so innocent and they don't deserve to go through that! It breaks my heart thinking about what goes through a child's mind during abuse like this. In this song for instance I just want to hug her and protect her and give her a good life. I guess that's basic humanity in me.
I always cry when I hear this song. It makes me wonder how many children across our free world are going through something like that. I started praying every day for the people across our nation that are being abused in any way. Every Monday morning at 10 am. If anyone wants to join with me please do. Let’s bring this request to the cross!!!!
Meanwhile......... 😰😰😰 THIS SONG!!!!😰😰 I swear, if I could cure anything in the world, it would be bullying and abuse/child abuse. Parents that abuse their children do not deserve to be parents. Children don't deserve it! For all of you people here that have been through abuse or bullying, STAY STRONG!!! You are a very special gift from God no matter what you think! You are loved by many! If you see a situation like this, SAY SOMETHING!! #StayStrong ❤️❤️💪🏼💪🏼 #YouAreLoved #StopBullying #StopAbuse #SpeakForOthers ❤️
I thank God, every day, my niece was saved from the abuse of her mother. my heart goes out to those little ones who were not heard and lost their lives at the hands of those who are supposed to protect and love them most.😢
ooohh every time i hear this songs it makes me cry this song is soo sad and i hate soo much the child abuse it remembers me my friend = \ but im happy that shes with another family and even if we are not together I prefer to be apart than she to be with his parents but im glad that i meet her everyday = ]
Man how can anyone hurt a beautiful child they are beautiful gifts from God I have a 16teen older son and a baby girl on the way i love them with. All my heart
this song is very touching my grandparents are both in Bikers Against Child Abuse and im on 16 but its a given that i will be in when im of age a few of my friends were abused and im always gonna be there for them thank you for putting this up
Never fails, I can make it to the part where he decides what to do then the tears start falling and I can't sing along anymore. This song reminds me of my mother, no matter how much everyone supported her she stayed with her abusers. Her ex husband used to put his hands on us both. I saved my mother's life from him when I was just 9 years old. I've forgiven him for the abuse now that I understand addiction. Years after my mother left him, she got with another abuser. Eventually, I stopped asking about the bruises because I knew she'd just lie, it broke me clear to the core. She's finally made some good decisions now though, she's married to an excellent man and wonderful dad to my little brothers. I actually did a "Concrete Angel" cover because of this, it's not perfect but after crying in 3 previous recordings I decided it was good enough.
I was abused many many times growing up i was put in foster home after foster home i lied to the classroom everyday at school also to the teachers it was Impossible to.cover eveey bruise. Thank god i have.over cam all of that except my cousin didn't I miss you Gabby i love you sissy RIP
this song means so much to me i was abused as a child and i love this song so much it is a good and beautiful song good job for writing a good song jason michael carroll
I was too. and i think im going to sing this song for an audition. I have heard this song before. multiple times.. but i cry every time. when i was 11, i weighed in at 67lbs. my sis and i were beat every day. we were put in foster care and moved 2 homes then the foster kids persuaded her i was the reason she was there. and she almost cracked my head open on the fire place. We were sepperated. she stayed in the next home she was in. I moved. and moved and moved. I didnt see her for 5 months. the only thing i had left. then my auntie got custody of me and my sister. this april 1st will be 5 years with them
Omg.... I never cry but your story made me cry.... your parents are vile humans, I hope karma gets them hard. I'm glad your Auntie got you, and you now live peacefully
I pray for everything that ever happened to u don't scar you and your "sperm donor" (they don't deserve to be called parents) gets hell brought to them in every way and your auntie did the best thing she could do by taking you in I still hope you can move past it cause I know what it's like to feels scared I have a few my self just not from physical abuse just sexual 💖💖❤️
This song makes me cry because i can tell that the little girl is upset because she lost her friend. this touches me because i lost one of my best friends on February 22, 2015.
My friend Victoria sung this song for the talent show.. We all supported her with our hangs in the air cheering her on.. Not a week later she was put in social servicies because she was beaten.. Why didn't I realize she needed help.. I still to this day listen to this song.. Regreting not helping my best friend.. before I lost her forever... Even though I don't belive in heaven I know if it exists that's where you are victoria, Love you girlie =) -Morgan...I miss you...
I can never watch this without crying by the end, this is so heartbreaking. People nowadays seem to forget just how bad child abuse is. I feel like this should be played in every school at least once a year. Maybe some kids would come forward before it's too late. My heart goes out to every child that has to go through this daily, please get help before you no longer can.
Been there myself. It is hard sometimes but if you can remember you are made of more strength than what they say you are, nothing they say or do can take that away from you. Hope things get better for you.
Ok, I was home. Working on an assignment for my language arts class. And I played this song, And we were doing questions on The Outsiders.... Lets just say, I barely finished my summary because I was crying waterfalls
Sandman: I read that book, and saw the movie, I cried so hard when Dally died in the book. Oddly enough, when he died in the book I cried, but when he died in the movie, I didn't cry.
I hate when people joke about being abused just for attention. I've been abused by my mother's boyfriend for over 14 years. I finally told somebody, & now I haven't seen them in almost 8 months. Granted, it was & still is a hard thing to overcome, it was well worth it. Abuse hurts physically & mentally. It's very hard to tell somebody knowing there's a huge chance they won't believe you, but it's definitely worth it. My life's changed completely, & I'm grateful for the breath I breath everyday.
I'm so sorry. I've been abused so I know he's in a better place. I haven't been hit but I am sexually abused, and I can honestly say that I would rather be anywhere than here....... I'm sorry for your loss and I know losing someone close to you hurts firsthand, but I also know that you can get through almost anything if you can get through losing a loved one.
It will never stop... This song preaches against anger and abuse and yet people are arguing and being rude. Supporters of this song backlash against those who don't have the capacity to handle such a emotion wrought song. If you hate those to dislike the video, you've learned nothing. If you argue over this video then you let Alyssa's fate continue.
following are the 3 Country Music Video that made me cry :(( - Joe Nichols - I'll Wait For You - Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss - Whiskey Lullaby - Jason Michael Carroll - Alyssa Lies
***** I love that song rememeds me of my friend that died from this god damn they can go to hell :'( :'( i miss you Alyssa and she had the same name to. God now i feel like crying.
Jessie Mo-oy + Riding with Private Malone. It's not really a sad song, but my dad served and he left me and my mom just before my 2nd birthday. It always makes me cry. I only cry when I'm alone though
It would take a man to sing this song because we all know men are stronger than women in hiding feelings. A real hearted woman will not be able to sing this & feel it w/out shedding tears and a real hearted man is the only man that could sing this!! Love it & always have!
Damn to deep parts of hell anyone who would abuse a child. What twisted person is so weak they have to take out there aggression out on someone much smaller than them? Children count on us to protect them and set examples. Yet this happens all the time. It makes me cry just knowing that there are children out there being beaten and no one is helping them.
I used to listen to this song when I was little on the radio. I was so young, I didn't understand what she was talking about. What were the lies about? I just listened to this song today, for the first time in years... now I have tears streaming down my face. I feel stupid. God...what a beautifully tragic song. :(
So sad!!!!!!!!😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩 I'm just surprised I can make it through without crying!!!! I'm kinda like the sensitive one in my family, physically and emotionally!!!!!!!
Every time i hear this song it makes me sad because i was abused, i got out just last year and im glad i did. No one seemed to believe me but i know what happend and so does the victim. I don't need everyone else to believe me. I lied everyday just like Alyssa but i finally realized that there are people out there to help and that's what i did. my heart goes out to anyone who might be facing the same situation. Don't be afraid to speak up.♥♥
hey! who you calling a loser? that's rude the girl is right this song is very touching. you don't need to be a bully that's just rude! you wouldn't want to be called a loser. don't hurt other people if you don't want that done to you. thats uncalled for.
My name is Alyssa, as I'm sure my username shows, & I was abused by my Dad from the time when I was 6-12. I heard this song every once in a while and it hit me hard every time because I was so scared it would become me. When I heard the news of my parents divorce I heard this song again and realized I'd be alone with him for long periods of time and I could become like the Alyssa in the song. I wish there was a way I could thank this artist for helping me come forward about everything that was going on and letting me live freely as I have for the past 8 years. Thank you so much. Thank you.
This song always makes me teary eyed. My best friend was abused from the day her mother brought her home I was seven when she died. Her father came home drunk and she died from severe brain trama because he beat her head into the wall so many times. I still can't find the faith to forgive him. This song has so much meaning whether you know someone who's been abused or not.
My little sister was called Alyssa. She's not with us anymore, but we both used to face abuse every single day. Our father would come home drunk every night and let his anger out on us. God bless you, sis
I heard this song while going thru so much I gave up when i heard it it felt like it was for me 😔 I never stopped listing to this song it reminds me to never give up
yes I was abused by my ex step dad Bruce and almost died one day when my mom was at work and he pissed me down our carpet stairs, I hit my head to hard and I passed out, when I woke up I was in my bed and my dog lily was at the end of my bed, I went downstairs and asked my adopted grandma what happened and she said that she came home to me unconscious at the bottom of the stairs and lily was growling at Bruce Everytime he tried to come near me and I noticed that Bruce had I bite mark from lily on his leg, I realized that my dog lily protected me after I fell from Bruce pushing me. And so I guess the only reason I am alive today is thanks to my dog lily. I sadly don't have her anymore because I had to give her away
I have never understood how anyone could ever hurt their child. I am so thankful that I never had to go through that. I won't lie, my parents whooped my butt when I deserved it (and I'm thankful for that as well, because I grew up to respect authority and be a well-mannered individual who has never been in serious trouble), but it was never senseless abuse. It breaks my heart to think that there are so many children who get abused every day, and it goes unreported...and they end up like Alyssa.
I cry every time I hear this song. My best friend was name Alyssa. When we were in 2nd grade, her mom shot her in the chest 9 times.. From that day forward, I have been scared to ever find a new best friend. R.I.P. Alyssa Musselman. I love you so much! You never deserved what Amy did to you.
I'm sorry that happened to you and her
Oh…
So sorry for your friend just know that she is waiting for you in heaven and safe and sound
So sorry 😭💔🙏🏻🙏🏻

good idea. Go out and do something now.
My solution would be personally send the abusers to meet Jesus themselves and answer for their crimes. God would forgive me I'd be doing the world a favor.
I always cry hearing that
That is like me, nobody would help or believe me. But I survived it all.
7 years later and this song still gives me chills. Even more so now that I'm gearing up to be a teacher. I can't even imagine my students going through this, or any kid period.
Good luck.

good on you for staying strong. i hate people who abuse their children just because of their own problems. i’m glad you got away from that.

I was abused for 15 years. I was lucky enough to come through it but I know there are many children who don't. This song is beautiful and very touching.
i saw Jason Michael Carroll in concert and he sang to me which made me so happy but i seriously started crying when i sang along to this song, he sings this with a lot of emotion. he is amazing and his music is amazingg
I'm a US Marine and this is the only song that locks me down
My abusive mother was a Marine, so maybe you'll understand better than most what that entails. I can't listen to this song without bawling because my sister and I are lucky to have survived our upbringing. Mother treated us like we were "the enemy". Our stepfather was a Force Recon veteran and she kicked HIS ass, because she had crazy on her side. We were just kids...
This song makes me bawl like a baby for my sisters that I couldn't protect. I hear the words and see their faces, their bodies covered in bruises and I hear their terrified screaming. I feel more guilt than words can convey that I didn't die for them, like I don't deserve to have survived.
I have a major case of ptsd and I go off a lot over little things that most people don't worry about but,when it comes to kids ill kill anyone who harms one
degenerate1991 omg im so sorry
No goose bumps I try so hard to not get goosebumps and it fails, and Dis song is just so beautiful 76 people have no souls.
I never knew the lyrics of the song. I always thought it said "a lesson in life". I was so wrong. Now I'm sad 😢😢 and his voice is perfect for this song.
The story of my life!!Thanks God so much for someone speaking up for the kids!!
This song gets me every time. I had a friend when I was little who was like Alyssa and by the time something was done it was to late
💔
To all those who are abused know that you are not alone. You are loved. And Never Give Up Hope! No matter what. Never believe those hurtful words said to you, they are not true. Your beautiful and talented and wonderful. My heart goes out to all.
i've been abused my whole life n i can tell you that you never really do get over it. there's always something in the back your mind. when someone gets too close to you or something n you freak out...how do you explain that to your friends or whoever?
my two friends were abused and they got killed. i miss them so much
when was a little girl me and my sister would play dolls and listen to music so she put this song and Jesus take the wheel i was lije 5 or 6 i bust onto tears because i knew wht the songs were about and everytime i hear those two song i bust into tears
SAME...Besides the dolls part. XD
My name is Alyssa, and I was physically abused by my step dad from the age of 6 till 16. I would go to school and lie to everyone when they asked about my bruises. The only difference between my life and this song is that I survived. If someone comes to you for help, do something about it. You can help, and you could save a life
Amen! I'm glad you got through it. Hate that you went through it but glad you came out the other side. It makes me so angry and sad to think about this type of stuff. Kids are amazing and so innocent and they don't deserve to go through that! It breaks my heart thinking about what goes through a child's mind during abuse like this. In this song for instance I just want to hug her and protect her and give her a good life. I guess that's basic humanity in me.
I always cry when I hear this song. It makes me wonder how many children across our free world are going through something like that. I started praying every day for the people across our nation that are being abused in any way. Every Monday morning at 10 am. If anyone wants to join with me please do. Let’s bring this request to the cross!!!!
Meanwhile......... 😰😰😰 THIS SONG!!!!😰😰 I swear, if I could cure anything in the world, it would be bullying and abuse/child abuse. Parents that abuse their children do not deserve to be parents. Children don't deserve it! For all of you people here that have been through abuse or bullying, STAY STRONG!!! You are a very special gift from God no matter what you think! You are loved by many! If you see a situation like this, SAY SOMETHING!! #StayStrong ❤️❤️💪🏼💪🏼 #YouAreLoved #StopBullying #StopAbuse #SpeakForOthers ❤️
I thank God, every day, my niece was saved from the abuse of her mother. my heart goes out to those little ones who were not heard and lost their lives at the hands of those who are supposed to protect and love them most.😢
Who is caring for her. Do you see her xx
If you know someone who is being abuse take action NOW don't wait till its too late
Ok I’m tn
ooohh every time i hear this songs it makes me cry this song is soo sad and i hate soo much the child abuse it remembers me my friend = \
but im happy that shes with another family and even if we are not together I prefer to be apart than she to be with his parents
but im glad that i meet her everyday = ]
This is going to make me cry..... Yeah. I'm crying. 😥
Man how can anyone hurt a beautiful child they are beautiful gifts from God I have a 16teen older son and a baby girl on the way i love them with. All my heart
no child should be abused by their parents it's just not right.
It sadly happens all the time and so do specials needs children get abused and elderly and Alzheimer's or disabled people to and. Animals
It's sad that kids are abuse it not fair
What a strong bold statement you have made. Please pat yourself on the back for me. You are sucha brave woman
I have a daughter anybody hurts her they are dead
I agree with this but no child should be abused ever sometimes it’s not the parents and sometimes it’s not JUST the parents
this song is very touching my grandparents are both in Bikers Against Child Abuse and im on 16 but its a given that i will be in when im of age a few of my friends were abused and im always gonna be there for them thank you for putting this up
Never fails, I can make it to the part where he decides what to do then the tears start falling and I can't sing along anymore.
This song reminds me of my mother, no matter how much everyone supported her she stayed with her abusers. Her ex husband used to put his hands on us both. I saved my mother's life from him when I was just 9 years old. I've forgiven him for the abuse now that I understand addiction. Years after my mother left him, she got with another abuser. Eventually, I stopped asking about the bruises because I knew she'd just lie, it broke me clear to the core. She's finally made some good decisions now though, she's married to an excellent man and wonderful dad to my little brothers. I actually did a "Concrete Angel" cover because of this, it's not perfect but after crying in 3 previous recordings I decided it was good enough.
I'm a father of four girls, I was so moved by this song that I felt tears running down my face as if I was listening...
I was abused many many times growing up i was put in foster home after foster home i lied to the classroom everyday at school also to the teachers it was Impossible to.cover eveey bruise. Thank god i have.over cam all of that except my cousin didn't I miss you Gabby i love you sissy RIP
this song means so much to me i was abused as a child and i love this song so much it is a good and beautiful song good job for writing a good song jason michael carroll
Who cried like a baby first time they heard this song let me know😉
Heard this song just today on the radio. Its the best song I've heard in years and nearly brought me to tears
dear God this song is so sad!! I cry everytime I listen to it
Ikr!!
yep I'm balling my eyes out
I hope that anyone who listens to this song will help stop and prevent child abuse.
I was too. and i think im going to sing this song for an audition. I have heard this song before. multiple times.. but i cry every time. when i was 11, i weighed in at 67lbs. my sis and i were beat every day. we were put in foster care and moved 2 homes then the foster kids persuaded her i was the reason she was there. and she almost cracked my head open on the fire place. We were sepperated. she stayed in the next home she was in. I moved. and moved and moved. I didnt see her for 5 months. the only thing i had left. then my auntie got custody of me and my sister. this april 1st will be 5 years with them
Omg.... I never cry but your story made me cry.... your parents are vile humans, I hope karma gets them hard. I'm glad your Auntie got you, and you now live peacefully
😔😔😔😔😔
I pray for everything that ever happened to u don't scar you and your "sperm donor" (they don't deserve to be called parents) gets hell brought to them in every way and your auntie did the best thing she could do by taking you in I still hope you can move past it cause I know what it's like to feels scared I have a few my self just not from physical abuse just sexual 💖💖❤️
No matter how many times I hear this song, I cry every time. I will never understand how someone can hurt an innocent child...
This song makes me cry because i can tell that the little girl is upset because she lost her friend. this touches me because i lost one of my best friends on February 22, 2015.
how
A brain aneurysm
.......my mom's birthday.
i am so sorrry
My friend Victoria sung this song for the talent show.. We all supported her with our hangs in the air cheering her on.. Not a week later she was put in social servicies because she was beaten.. Why didn't I realize she needed help.. I still to this day listen to this song.. Regreting not helping my best friend.. before I lost her forever...
Even though I don't belive in heaven I know if it exists that's where you are victoria, Love you girlie =)
-Morgan...I miss you...
I love this song. It breaks my heart
I don't think I was quite ready to hear this at 1AM.. what a beautiful song.
I listen to this song a lot and it makes me want to cry but I've only cried once and that was when my cousin started crying because of this song
If you need help, my friend was abused so i kinda understand... I am here... You sound like a warrior!!! Stay Strong. You have an Army behind you now.
I cried. No one should be treated like that.
I can never watch this without crying by the end, this is so heartbreaking. People nowadays seem to forget just how bad child abuse is. I feel like this should be played in every school at least once a year. Maybe some kids would come forward before it's too late. My heart goes out to every child that has to go through this daily, please get help before you no longer can.
this song has a way of touching me and i aint ever known someone who was abused
Been there myself. It is hard sometimes but if you can remember you are made of more strength than what they say you are, nothing they say or do can take that away from you. Hope things get better for you.
Ok, I was home. Working on an assignment for my language arts class. And I played this song, And we were doing questions on The Outsiders.... Lets just say, I barely finished my summary because I was crying waterfalls
Sandman I know this is irrelevant,but I'm pretty sure Johnny would like this song. Also,yeah this song gets you in your feels.
Sandman: I read that book, and saw the movie, I cried so hard when Dally died in the book.
Oddly enough, when he died in the book I cried, but when he died in the movie, I didn't cry.
Sandman never do that agin this song and the outsiders don't mix well I accidentally did that and every time I read Jhonnys name all I do is cry
I hate when people joke about being abused just for attention. I've been abused by my mother's boyfriend for over 14 years. I finally told somebody, & now I haven't seen them in almost 8 months. Granted, it was & still is a hard thing to overcome, it was well worth it. Abuse hurts physically & mentally. It's very hard to tell somebody knowing there's a huge chance they won't believe you, but it's definitely worth it. My life's changed completely, & I'm grateful for the breath I breath everyday.
i used to know someone who as killed from abouse and miss you big brother he was 15 when my dad hit him and broke his neck r. i. p matt
its okay and thanks
Zoee Nealy he is in a better place where no one could touch him or hurt him💞
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry. I've been abused so I know he's in a better place. I haven't been hit but I am sexually abused, and I can honestly say that I would rather be anywhere than here....... I'm sorry for your loss and I know losing someone close to you hurts firsthand, but I also know that you can get through almost anything if you can get through losing a loved one.
Zoee Nealy very sorry
This song brings back so many memories.....I was abused as a child so whenever I hear this I start to cry.....
i been listening song all day it is sad but i love it
It will never stop... This song preaches against anger and abuse and yet people are arguing and being rude. Supporters of this song backlash against those who don't have the capacity to handle such a emotion wrought song.
If you hate those to dislike the video, you've learned nothing. If you argue over this video then you let Alyssa's fate continue.
It's really depressing to think that there will never be complete world peace so long as man is in charge, at least until Christ comes again🧔🕊️🙏🙏
following are the 3 Country Music Video that made me cry :((
- Joe Nichols - I'll Wait For You
- Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss - Whiskey Lullaby
- Jason Michael Carroll - Alyssa Lies
Don't forget Concrete Angel by Martina McBride
***** I love that song rememeds me of my friend that died from this god damn they can go to hell :'( :'( i miss you Alyssa and she had the same name to. God now i feel like crying.
Don't forget Three Wooden Crosses by Randy Travis
& Blaine Larsen " how you get that lonely"
Jessie Mo-oy + Riding with Private Malone. It's not really a sad song, but my dad served and he left me and my mom just before my 2nd birthday. It always makes me cry. I only cry when I'm alone though
extremely emotional ! got tears rolling out of my eyes listening !
this song makes me tear up :-(
It would take a man to sing this song because we all know men are stronger than women in hiding feelings. A real hearted woman will not be able to sing this & feel it w/out shedding tears and a real hearted man is the only man that could sing this!! Love it & always have!
its really sad when this happens, i lost a good friend form something like this, but at least he's not hurt anymore
Brought me to tears. Awesome song. You go Jason!!!!
Damn to deep parts of hell anyone who would abuse a child. What twisted person is so weak they have to take out there aggression out on someone much smaller than them? Children count on us to protect them and set examples. Yet this happens all the time. It makes me cry just knowing that there are children out there being beaten and no one is helping them.
I heard this on the radio the other day on my way to work, I'm a 19 year old soldier, first time I've teared up in like 6 years
i love this song its just so sad!:'(
I used to listen to this song when I was little on the radio. I was so young, I didn't understand what she was talking about. What were the lies about?
I just listened to this song today, for the first time in years... now I have tears streaming down my face. I feel stupid.
God...what a beautifully tragic song. :(
So sad!!!!!!!!😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩 I'm just surprised I can make it through without crying!!!! I'm kinda like the sensitive one in my family, physically and emotionally!!!!!!!
GlamorousGirls so so so so sad
Right!!! :'(
I listened to this when I was really little and it has a special place in my heart and always will.
)": this song makes me wanna cry):
imagine being named after this song 😭💔
I cry every time I hear this but it’s such a good and meaningful song
So many people at my school get abused by their parents
emma parrish Yikes!!!!!!!
That is the saddest song ever i cant listen to it without crying because that happens everyday i dont understand how anyone could hurt a child!!!
help some one that needs it ok, dont be the reason why someone dies. HELP
Every time i hear this song it makes me sad because i was abused, i got out just last year and im glad i did. No one seemed to believe me but i know what happend and so does the victim. I don't need everyone else to believe me. I lied everyday just like Alyssa but i finally realized that there are people out there to help and that's what i did. my heart goes out to anyone who might be facing the same situation. Don't be afraid to speak up.♥♥
me and my mom cry Every time we here it Caz my names Alyssa
That would make tou selfish. Are at afraid of death it could make you cry? Loser.
May want to watch your spelling before you call someone names.
hey! who you calling a loser? that's rude the girl is right this song is very touching. you don't need to be a bully that's just rude! you wouldn't want to be called a loser. don't hurt other people if you don't want that done to you. thats uncalled for.
My name is Alyssa, as I'm sure my username shows, & I was abused by my Dad from the time when I was 6-12. I heard this song every once in a while and it hit me hard every time because I was so scared it would become me. When I heard the news of my parents divorce I heard this song again and realized I'd be alone with him for long periods of time and I could become like the Alyssa in the song. I wish there was a way I could thank this artist for helping me come forward about everything that was going on and letting me live freely as I have for the past 8 years. Thank you so much. Thank you.
It reminds me of my granddad that killed himself... r.i.p. granddad...
How
This song always makes me teary eyed. My best friend was abused from the day her mother brought her home I was seven when she died. Her father came home drunk and she died from severe brain trama because he beat her head into the wall so many times. I still can't find the faith to forgive him. This song has so much meaning whether you know someone who's been abused or not.
so many Alyssa's on the comment section
Jennifer Roelfs Agreed
Jennifer Roelfs you're right
yep very right... I did this song for an assessment and my english class looked at me weirdly when I got our teacher to listen to it...
Jennifer Roelfs *shrugs*
That's true
Still makes me cry today hearing this song
hurtn4flirtin69 i know what u whent through kind of i was rapped by my step father so i was abused as well hang in there life gets better
My little sister was called Alyssa. She's not with us anymore, but we both used to face abuse every single day. Our father would come home drunk every night and let his anger out on us.
God bless you, sis
my Name is Alyssa...🙊
I heard this song while going thru so much I gave up when i heard it it felt like it was for me 😔 I never stopped listing to this song it reminds me to never give up
this is really sad so step up and STOP ABUSE NOW
Cried my eyes out listening to this.
my name is Alissa and that makes my mom cry because I used to lie
did you lie about abuse because that is what this is about and Alyssa dies in the end from her injuries
yes I was abused by my ex step dad Bruce and almost died one day when my mom was at work and he pissed me down our carpet stairs, I hit my head to hard and I passed out, when I woke up I was in my bed and my dog lily was at the end of my bed, I went downstairs and asked my adopted grandma what happened and she said that she came home to me unconscious at the bottom of the stairs and lily was growling at Bruce Everytime he tried to come near me and I noticed that Bruce had I bite mark from lily on his leg, I realized that my dog lily protected me after I fell from Bruce pushing me. And so I guess the only reason I am alive today is thanks to my dog lily. I sadly don't have her anymore because I had to give her away
sorry about my bad spelling I am really bad at it for my age
Alice Despond I am sorry that happened to you. Are you OK now? Did your mom divorce bruce or did he go to jail?
Alice Despond your dog really loved you
I have never understood how anyone could ever hurt their child. I am so thankful that I never had to go through that. I won't lie, my parents whooped my butt when I deserved it (and I'm thankful for that as well, because I grew up to respect authority and be a well-mannered individual who has never been in serious trouble), but it was never senseless abuse. It breaks my heart to think that there are so many children who get abused every day, and it goes unreported...and they end up like Alyssa.
Hello other Alyssas
Hey
Oh hey
hullo
Hi

. . .
. . . Hi.
I love this song! Made me cry the first time I herd it.
