We have all been hurt, we’ve all cried, we’ve all hit rock bottom at some point in a relationship.

In her case, she sings of being “the other woman” and tired of the pain her situation brings.

This song is about "the other women" In the first part of the song she sings about how she wants him to "stay" with her stay a little longer, but by the end of the song she's so tierd and hurt that she's telling him, When your wife asks you not to leave, just stay, Stay there with her because coming back to me is killing me inside.

Mine is not a interpretation but a reality that I lived for 27 years. We had a son that we planned who is now 20 years old and a grand son who is 4 years old. I loved this man more then I loved myself, all I could see is that I loved him and when I found out I had to share him I did not care. The day came when I no longer could see him leave again and go back to her. I finally got the strength to get up off my knees. So I decided to let him go on July 11,2007. I heard the song Stay about a month later. It was as if it was written about me. For all you people who are in love with a married person, get up off your knees and let them go don't waste your time. They love you but they love them more.
Not Sharing Any more, Thank You Sugarland.

She's asking him why don't he stay with her. The parts about him living the other woman she's talking about the future.

Well it sucks I do say... I'm living it right now... I've been in a relationship with a man for a little over a year now, and he's married. yes I know... He's MARRIED. The thing is. before he and i, I was in a terrible relationship. Then it led to divorce... He's previously married and divorced himself and the one he is in now is soon to be over. Its really hard on us because we can't speak of our relationship because it will start a lot of problems with his fight for custody. His wife does her own thing and they don't even speak. He is so romantic, and loving and caring... He's older by 10 years, so were not tooo close in age. That is what I really want though. Someone older who has the understanding of how things should go and that is mature. every day I see him I want to just run into his arms, but we can't even acknowledge one another unless its formal or work related... I really love him and want to be with him, but our current situation prevents Everything from taking place. we were on the phone the other day and I asked him why don't we spend more time together... baby,,, I look at it this way.. what time permits,,, I take that opportunity to be with you... make love to you and focus totally on you. I can't do that every day. I can't show my true feelings for you and it hurts... Hell I don't know I'm so lost right now at what to do... That's life for ya..... Help lol

it hurts to love someone soooo much but its like you have to live a second life with them. I'd much rather it be out in the open and show our feelings with out being worried of the consequences.

I can't believe the posts I'm reading! You people are sympathizing with a home-wrecker??? I hate this song more than any I've ever heard. He and the home wrecker should be severely punished for this abomination of justice and moral law. What has this world come to that we have to listen to garbage like this on the radio? My kids hear this filth and think cheating on your spouse is okay.

Okay, to the people who think others are sympathyzing for the so called "homewrecker", I think the people aren't exactly sympathyzing for her, as they are understanding how she feels. To me, in this song, I see that the married man and/or undecided man IS the bad guy in all this. He's the one who is married and/or undecided on who he wants to be with. &I think at the end of the song, the woman realizes what she's doing is wrong and isn't changing anything between the man and his wife/spouse. So please, just hear people out! Thanks!

Its only the mans fault? Oh no, maybe in the beginning someone doesnt know the other is married. But, when they find out they should walk away. When you know and you stay anyway, you are worse than the cheating spouse. I wish that people would realize that if they are married and are sleeping with you, you are not the first. So yeh...Homewrecker is the proper word!

Believe me, until you have been in the situation it is hard to judge. I think Jennifer Nettles took a huge risk at writing from the "other womans" perspective. Being in a very similar situation it is heartwrenching, what if you fell in love with someone who was already involved with someone else? What if you met the person you have been searching for but they have already committed themselves to the other person? I never thought I would be the other woman but I am, and I feel the way that Jennifer describes in the song, I feel used and I wish he could stay but I know at the end of the day he goes back to her and I am left with nothing. Regardless if it is right or wrong the other woman has a right to feel, a right to be hurt, because she was lead on too. There isnt just one victim in these situations, but that is just my interperation.

I agree with the other anomymously this song is terrible. This happened to me my husband left me and our 2 children for a HOMEWRECKER, yes I agree HOMEWRECKER that is what these people are and as far as for them having feelings SO What they ruin marriages and families lives.

This song is definetly about the homewrecker!!!! My mom and dad were married almost twenty years. He had this young blonde secretary who had a son and had been divorced 3 times. My dad cheated for 5 years on my mom. I can't tell you how hard this is on the kids. My family was RIPPED APART by this HOME WRECKER!!!
