Rector, Ben - When A Heart Breaks Lyrics

My dad died today I haven't seen him in a while, having mixed feelings but this song is kinda hittin emotional cords.

Just listened to this song today and balled my eyes out as I sang along. 'Cause I understand..

2020 and this Song still brings back memories of long lost people

This song just breaks my heart! This song talks to me because my son was diagnosed with Duchennes musclar dystrophy this song to me Is about the heart break I feel everyday life will forever be altered for us n for him it's gonna b a fight!! But this is true heart break when u or a person u love has been diagnosed with a diease that has no cure! N it's heart break like this that makes u wanna talk to jesus because not alot of ppl understand even tho I don't exactly believe

The lyrics about Jesus means exactly what it sounds like it means, you holy missionaries

You guys are getting tripped up over the meaning of the line "you dont need jesus till you're here". What he means is that when you're left with a broken heart all you can do is pray and hope that that will make everything better. This isn't a christian song and wasn't intended to be so. Make of it what you will but the overall premise of this song is heartbreak and the sheer pain of going through it.

Have always loved this song. Hits even harder now that my mother is dying in front of me with an inoperable brain tumor. 💔😓

My wife of 8 years has been cheating on me just found out I'm so fucked up right now.. she's been taking my daughter to the other man's house while other kids are school and I'm at work. 😥😥😥😪😪😪😪😪😪😪

Still love this song 2019

So this is 🕍Christian🕵 stuff??. Ok. Hmmm. Maybe
😳I like 👍it. I am that. But straying..

Who else is still jamming this beautiful song.

Re: references to “Jesus” ......... I don’t think he means anything by it. He just is singing a feeling Has nothing to do with Jesus or even his heart breaking. So it is about whatever you want it to be. Be it jesus. Anti Jesus. Etc etc

I know for a fact lol we gonna need Jesus to get us through this pain

Good song. To bad this guy didnt get recognition. You could here this on either the old ER or House.

Wish my sis believes in her worth and listen to her heart. Cause she doesn’t deserves her mans abusive words and physical abuse. Wish should could listen to the ppl who love her dearly. I pray she stands up for her worth. I say this out of love Yvonne, I know cause I was just like u sister xo pls don’t be mad that I posted this @yvonnerosas

I played this song on repeat when I lost one of my bestfriends 😔the words just fit in the moment & I just cried out all the pain,hurt & anger I felt.

When I first heard this song it made me think of how much it would break my heart if I lost my wife. I discovered my wifes been having an affair. The song now speaks to a totally different type of heart break for me.

Best song ever written

My heartbreaks so much

Who came here because of montello high? Hi pips

please someone help me

Such a great but sad😕 and 🎧depressing 🎼song🔊.. Cant hate on it. If i need to force a 😧cry😖 n the shower☔ this is the one

2018 anyone??

He reminds of Gavin Degraw and a John Mayer mix.

Who is going through a though time right now.(me) let your family confert you.💞💓

You should pray so you get jesus in the bad but in the good times you don't need him.

I go to a tiny Christian school. I woke up late, my mom woke me up. Our principal had passed away in the early hours of the morning. This was how I felt. She was so sweet. She was also my best friend's grandma. One of my friends and I listened to this to greive. It still takes me right back, and my heart shatters again. I can't wait to see her in heaven.

When the world breaks your heart god will heal it

I listened to this song on repeat when doctors told us we wouldn’t be able to have children and then again on repeat when we had our first miscarriage. We have a 2 year old today, but I love this song.

Any one else here in 2018??? <3

He stole the opening chords from Billy Joel's And So It Goes.. Nobody hears this? https://youtu.be/FHO6a2H-pqY
Also James Bay's Let it Go sounds like the music from the verses from Ben's song: https://youtu.be/GsPq9mzFNGY

I lost my brother. I lost him to fetynol laced heroin. I played this song at his funeral along with others. This song really hit home with me. I'm so blessed to have heard it. It helps me just understand just what I was at the time, and what I still am... heartbroken. Thank you Ben Rector. I'm so glad that I have this song on my phone whenever I want to hear it. I really appreciate it. <3

Beautiful

I love this song!!

I'd have to disagree. The truth is that Jesus is alive "Torchwood Boy Old Channel"

It's easy to not need Jesus when things are good. When people go through things that year them apart it's different. People can have thier opinions and I respect that. For those who have been through disease, divorce, death and being alone Jesus will never turn away from you. Actually he won't turn away from anyone

The people who gave thumbs down must not know the pain of a heart break. Lol

Heard this song when I found out the news I wouldn’t be able to have children. It was on repeat for months. I’m blessed to have a little boy now, but I really related to this song! Still a fan years later ❤️

Depression

This one and then the one "The People That Drive Me Places" are my favorite songs by Ben.

His voice is something !!!!

Just perfect

Look like slow hands

Fun song to play on piano.. well made and easy to sing

Faça amor não faça jogo

When I here this song I picture someone driving down a long country road in the middle of nowhere surrounded by snow.

I love his music. He’s a beautiful soul, so humble and kind, and amazing in concert. I get so much of his message

Carson Wentz :(

He wasn’t meaning it in a sense of “ I don’t believe in him but it’d be nice if he was real” he was meaning that as a society only turn to God when we’re hurt and need him. We don’t look to him in our everyday lives.

Anyone still here in 1017?

Fits too many part of my life. So well written...

I found this song (and ben rector in general) for the first time 3 days ago. Then we broke up. Now I'm listening to it again with a completely new meaning.. thank you

2017.. this is so beautiful!
My soul was listening to this song.

#REEMSWORLD

My grandma died around this time last summer and I always find myself coming back to this song and listening to it. When she died I was so blindsided by it. I was visiting my mom states away when I heard of her passing and I see had seen her when she left and I got to talk to her and before I left I said don't worry grandma when I come back we are gonna have a bonfire and spend some time together. Never got the chance. It still shakes me up sometimes.

My daughter-in-law told me to listen to this song. I heard it before and liked it but now that I read the lyrics I love it. When he sings that "I knew I was fine this time yesterday" he is talking about a diagnosis and I know exactly that feeling of how can a doctors words change how I feel. Thank you for this song and thankful every day that I have my faith and Jesus. I couldn't do it alone.

Ben Rector amd James Bay need to make a song together

i pray that you listen to this song and find god because this is what its about

I just lost my mom Friday from an overdose and I heard this song lastnight and I just couldn't stop crying. I love my mom and her loss has made me realize you need Jesus every day of your life. Momma I love you so much.

All of these negative, judgmental, accusatory comments ruin the beauty of the song. I realized after reading them that believing in Jesus, God, or religion does not make you a good person at all. Some of you appear to use it as a means to feel superior to others. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

This song should go out to all the victims and their family members of the Manchester attack 😔❤️ i love this song so much

you never need Jesus.

Looking for a purpose for now this songs enough

LDShadowlady (richest female minecraft youtuber) sung this in her blooper videos :3

Stoked to see this guy getting some exposure these days can't wait to see what the next few years has in store good luck man 🍺 cheers

You always need Jesus!!!

I actually like this song..But, Sad that in this song said,
"You don't need Jesus"😞
That's very important of the individual to focus on getting the spiritual growth in God.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this song.

Ben Rector is one of the best song writer/singers I have heard in a long, long time.
I have all his stuff. His songs and lyrics can touch you.

Ich habe liebeskummer weil sie sich nxs sagte und geht mir ausssenweg

ik it's a religious song kinda but all i can think about is this guy i had/kinda have a crush on😂

Why would he say u don't need jesus

im glad i listened to this before i die.

this song is really good .makes me feel good whenever i listen to it

i recently lost a close friend who was 18 and its been really hard and my friend told me to listen to this and said heart breaks dont have to be just from a relationship and i love this so much.

I first heard this song the day after the doctors told us my dad has terminal brain cancer. It's probably one of the only reasons I haven't completely lost it yet.

I can get through this... I just need to keep telling myself I have yet to find the light at the end of my tunnel. He wasnt my light. He was a match who simply burned out. I just have to keep at it... :/

Hope Phillips I know how you feel :-(. I find myself asking....is something wrong with me or what did I do wrong. That is how I felt when I first discovered this song. it was all because of a female.

beautiful song

#ForcaChape

I haven't had a heartbreak. or a boyfriend...








The ugly life..

so emotional so sweet

This song is needed today. Stay safe America.

listen to this song alot now that my boyfriends in bootcamp, heart really is broken haha..

when I wake to see my crush left me on read...

Such a beautiful song <3

this helps me because I found out my girl was cheating on me. that little hoe

This song played the other day on my way to the hospital, which I found ironic because my mother had just had a heart attack. It's a really good song but it just played at the worst of times.

This song's first 3 notes are the same exact ones that Uncle Kracker uses in Drift away

My brother has brain cancer. How am I suppost to deal with this?? I feel so lost and I don't know how to make it better. I want him to stop hurting.

I was touched by your comments about your brother. I am sorry that you, and especially your brother, are going through so much pain. If you believe in a higher being, then remember that "God does not make any mistakes." You can search for videos on YouTube using "how to be a good friend to someone with cancer," and several videos will come up. In the meantime, make beautiful memories with your brother! All the best to you and your family.

Haley Thompson I had a experience with cancer it's no fun 😕 I hope the best for your brother

Haley Thompson I'm sorry for you. All the best for you and your brother! <3

Haley Thompson am so sorry I hope you're brother gets better

Haley Thompson I really hope he gets better and keep having faith. don't give up

This song make my heart feel so good. I love it.

Cade os Br pra latimos juntos?

YOU FUCKING LIAR

Not necessary. Forgive. It's easier to move on. You'll always find someone better as long as you love yourself

Mackenzie Calhoun I'm going thru some harder
