Honey Jars

Devastating song about widdowhood. I mean, this song is just so sad. I can't imagine going through the situation that songwriter is painting. Makes me weep every time.

I believe it's about widowhood as well. When he says "the parade goes on without me," he means that life and happiness continue on, even amidst his depression. Even though he's blinded by sadness, he can still recognize this fact, and it only makes him "ache" for his lost love even harder. Chills.

???????? It reminds me to never take for granted what you have! I was seeing an older guy twice my age. At first I thought of him when listening to this song but in reverse because he’s twice my age I would be the one left behind. but I am no longer with him because we weren’t meant to be and I am not in love with him. But I became angry and then sad for him because he had a beautiful family for many many years. He wasn’t quite honest with me about the entire situation and I know this to be true. What my parents taught me and my brothers was that family is everything and when you were in a marriage the longer you’re in it, the harder it can become. But you don’t give up because the grass is not greener as they say. My parents are the best examples of that and I love them to death. I would not want to do to my children and grandchildren what he has done and it rips my heart out to see their family divided and basically it is his fault and he would hate me and kill me if he heard me say this. he has been and I believe he still is a chronic cheater which is why I am not with him the other reason is he’s twice my age and in a different state I just don’t love him. I believe he’s going to be alone and I believe his ex-wife loved him more than life itself what she was willing to go through for him it’s unbelievable when I look at it. I don’t think she was crazy I think she was crazy and laugh and went through a lot with him. And I just didn’t see it at first the entire picture. But now this song makes me weep for him. No I will let him like she. I am certain of this because of all the time I’ve had to reflect on the situation once I got out of it. She is a good person he is too he is just set in his ways . But all those years together it’s just sad that he threw it away and they all suffer now and he can’t get that back. I pray every single week for him. If he would just make amends but he is completely ignorant and will not admit to anyone, mainly because I think he fears he will look foolish because of what he’s done to her. That should not matter so that is why I pray for him. I fear for him and he will end up alone this song so much her mind him and her ????????

( and you know, I could feel it in my heart that he’s the type of person that falls in love so easily when he’s with someone, but even when we were together I could feel it and see it and all he could see was her. He would tell me I’m certifiably insane for saying that. But because I am younger and all that, I think he was more obsessed with me but no matter what at the end of the day I could feel it in my bones all he could see was her he’s just trying to shove it way down deep inside)
