9. I’ll Just Hold On by Blake Shelton

“I’ll Just Hold On” is a song about having someone with you but knowing they aren’t really with you. And all you could do is just hold on to them for as long as you can, and honestly, it’s even more painful than just letting go.

11. The Truth by Jason Aldean

This is a story of a man who didn’t want people to know “The Truth” that he is still strung out all over his ex. He even goes as far as to tell his ex that she could say all she wants about him – build him a reputation all she wants – but just don’t tell anyone the truth. 

12. I Want Crazy by Hunter Hayes

“I Want Crazy” is a madly in-love track about a man who booked a one-way flight to see his girl so that he wouldn’t miss her anymore. If that isn’t crazy, we don’t know what is.

14. I Drive Your Truck by Lee Brice

There is really no manual on how to handle a loss. For some, it’s distracting yourself and doing things to keep the memories tucked in, but for some, it’s driving around and letting the feelings take over. And that is exactly what “I Drive Your Truck” is all about. Because sometimes, you just have to allow yourself to miss a person to heal. 

15. Pick Up by Dierks Bentley

“Pick Up” is that crazy obsessive song about a man who misses his woman so much that he would do anything just to hear her voice.
