Amador, Ryan - Instead Lyrics

you can see the pain in his eyes while he sings bro

So much feeling but yet so much PAIN! His ex did not deserve him... I would totally date him, so talented and smart. No one should be that hurt, like, ever.

OMG I have Goosebumps

Who came here because of Twitter?

Come to Brazil!!

This was cool because when the chorus started singing and they were looking at him I felt like they were telling him that the person he's singing about is not good enough for him.

Fav🥺

I love how you sing this song. You really feel it, it's really special

I'm the girl in the story....choices in life are fickle and every little choice makes a huge change, big choices change the course of everything

Beautiful 😶💞

this song is exactly what i’m dealing with right now and this song is so amazing and it breaks my heart every time i listen to it😔 if only she knew the guy i could be for her

i love BLAKE VERSION

this man deserves nothing but love and happiness

It's amazing how much more real song is when you've been through an ordeal like this

this was released on my 9th birthday

this song is hartbreaking, and the way you sing it gives me chills

so much raw emotion and talent, i always come back for more

He deserver more views

I listen to this every single day and I get so sad... Whoever made you unhappy deserves to listen to this. You should be like, "Yeah, that's right. This is what you lost. So good riddance finding someone as caring as I was to you." I always think of the Jacob-Edward story- everyone is all over Edward because he's nice or whatever, but do they ever consider Jacob, who loves Bella too? Who will care for her so much?

the car's siren at the very end tho

This song is so great!!!

S/O to Spotify recommended songs for bringing me here 5 years late

Just found out this song on spotify, now i'm addicted to his voice :')

This song struck such a cord with me😭 So beautiful and the vocals on this are outstanding!

why do i just found this song now!!!!! its 2018!!!!!

Most underrated song

I listen to this song at least twice a day since I've started listening to it.

my eyes are leaking. i relate to this song on levels. damn i thought i was done crying.

Go, be yourself, on your way
and don't ever look back
To check if I'm okay,
And don't ever be sad
That you chose him instead
Cause I don't want regrets
And I'd rather be rid of it
And when you want someone who'll care
Who will know how you feel
When you don't wanna share
Who will show you support
When you've lost your meaning
Just remember this time
When you chose not to be with me

And I tried to defend
How I thought we would play out
I came and confessed
That I love you more than he does
So choose me instead,
Oh choose me instead cause
He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough for you
He won't do the things that I would do
He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough to be
Even half as good as he should be
And I watch you choose him instead of me

Watch you choose him instead of me

Go be in love I don't care
But don't ever pretend
That we're both unaware
Cause the truth is that you still permit me to be
Close enough that I know
That you don't want me to leave
And then I remember he's there
And he's been there for years
At your side like a stain
And when I see you with him
In your eyes there's a pain

And it's trapped you inside
Like you can't get away

And I tried to defend
How I thought we would play out
I came and confessed
That I love you more than he does
So choose me instead,
Oh choose me instead cause
He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough for you
He won't do the things that I would do
He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough to be

Even half as good as he should be
And I watch you choose him instead of me
Watch you choose him instead of me

I tried to defend
How I thought we would play out
I came and confessed
That I love you more than he does
So choose me instead,
Oh choose me instead

He's not good enough for you
He won't do the things that I would do
He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough for you
He won't do the things that I would do
He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough to be
Even half the man that he should be
And I watch you choose him instead of me
Watch you choose him instead of me

Ryan Amador - Instead

wow, incredible

This is gorgeous oh my God

I’ve been blessed with his amazing voice

Swan Queen brought me here. OMG this guys's voice and expressions... you can clearly see/hear everything he's feeling. It's so poignant. The lyrics strike a cord with me anyway but the way he puts so much of himself into it... WOW!

the way she looks at him my heart ahhhhh this song i can relate to. His voice is so powerful !!!!!!!

I’m gonna love this song forever. I sing it and cry at the same time. Such powerful lyrics!

I am obsessed with this song I literally don’t listen to anything else ❤️

Spotify's Discovery Weekly brought me here.
So my music tastes are good!

why the fck is this so underrated

You're amazing!! I loved this song, congrats😍 !!! Your voice is lovely

who hurt so badly that this much emotion can be put into such a powerful song. I relate to this song. her name is Chelsea.

@Ryan I love you! and thank you for making this song

So for whatever reason I just heard this song for the first time yesterday, well the Blake McGrath cover. Either way, I'm in love with it. Other than the music and lyrics being beautiful, I really admire how this man made a song that conveys anger without actually sounding angry. It's really impressive to me.

Years later and this song will never not hurt me. It feel like I can’t breathe (in a good way)

Hurt brought me where iam now...

this is so underrated, wow this is beautiful

There’s another guy who sang this I’m confused

I just recently came across this song and for the first time I'm watching this video. I absolutely love seeing the pain you're emitting through your body/facial language. You're absolutely amazing and it's her loss.

I can feel his pain, this song hurt my heart and i am listening over and over again.

y'all this man is hurt

I first heard this song a few weeks ago at NUVO dance convention. It is one of my favorite songs & this version is so emotional, so intense. Can't wait to hear more songs from you in the future!

Oml so underrated ur an amazing singer and absolutely love this song and it's meaning!

I absolutely love this song 😍

If I wasn’t with my friend right now I would be bawling my eyes out. You have such an amazing voice oh my gosh

This was so amazing, brilliant, and he's not good enough for you. Your adorable and talented,and you made me feel.

Can you teach how to play on piano?

I don't understand why or how I've just found this song! Thank you Mather dance company.

I'm crying in the club rn

squad goals gave me scalp tingles

Its almost 11 at night and i just got home from work (where i work with my ex) and this song put me in my feels 😩😰

anytime i hear this song i think of stefan and elena from the vampire diaries

Perfect 😍😍😍

I sent this song to the girl of my dreams. Biggest mistake I've ever made

im so sorry to hear this. you can talk to me if you ever feel down. I relate to ur situation a lot. her name is Chelsea.

#swanqueen brought me here

I thought I was the only one :P

Got goosebumps..

I listen to this video at least once a day. This is so so so so much better than the studio recording (I love that one too) but this is just heartbreaking and so personal. I love it!!!!

RYAN WHO HURT YOU

لما يغني القلب المجروح تباً لكل خذلان يعتري قلبي المكسور

i love this song

Ahh viado essa música ❤❤

Reminds me of Stefan and Elena tbh

Wow ur voice is so 😳👌🏼

Swan queen video brought me here

This is the most relateable song to my life ive ever heard. To me its a message to my mom, who chose her abusive manipulative boyfriend over her children and her dog who died due to neglect three months ago. She's done the more horrible things to me and by brothers but I still want her to drop him. It's torture to think that I can't do anything about it.

I hope your mother finds some peace in her life and that you do as well. Hugs to you and your family.

Beautiful , I shed a few tears

I keep watching this over and over and cry even harder every time.

such a great song. love it

I listened your song in a video of swan queen and it's amazing I loved it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

So glad I had the opportunity to hear this song. beautiful lyrics, this is going in my 'listen to when I wanna cry over what could have been' list! touched a nerve. thanks for writing it and sharing with the world.

Such a beautiful song and voice

i feel like this song was on the vampire diaries
