Discover the story of the song > Next to You – Misty Miller

The protagonist is doing things for her partner, like washing her hair and shaving her legs, in the hopes that he will care about her. She feels like she is just an object to him and that he wouldn't even notice if she was hurt or dead. She used to have his attention and he would listen to her, but now it seems like the only way to get through to him is if she prays.
