Carly Pearce Reveals What He 'Didn't Do' In New Song

To kick off the new year, Carly Pearce debuted a new heartbreak song titled "Didn't Do."

In the fan-captured video from a recent performance at Nashville's Listening Room Cafe, Pearce dives deep into her personal life as she sings about all the things her ex, Michael Ray, didn't do to keep her.

While the singer has promised to keep their personal details private, she sings, "I’ve got my side of the story, and he’s got his side, too. I ain’t gonna go and tell you what he did, but I’ll tell you what he didn’t do."

"Treat me right, put me first / Be a man of his words, stay home because he wanted to / Always fight for me love, hold on tight like it's something that he couldn't stand to lose / The devil's in the details, I won't tell the hell that he put me through / All I know is in the end it wasn't what he did / No, it was what he didn't do," she continues.

Pearce filed for divorce from Ray in June after eight months of marriage. In November, the country singer opened up for the first time about the split in an interview with People.

"There were moments I seriously did not know if I could breathe," Pearce recalled. "It was awful. It is awful. But I think that what's been awesome has been trusting myself and trusting what I have always known, which is God won't take me through something that he won't bring me out of or bring good from."

Pearce's choice to end the marriage "was not a flippant decision," she declared.

"This was something that I really took time to make sure I was doing the right thing. It was very clear that this was not the marriage that I wanted," she said, noting that she and Ray "very quickly realized we were not meant to be."

She explained, "I did everything that I knew how to do. It takes two people to work on something." Pearce didn't go into specifics but did say, "When you love somebody, you trust them."

Despite the quick split, Pearce won't call the marriage a mistake. "I believe we don't go through things that we're not supposed to go through," she said. "My love was real. I will stand by that forever."

"I'm sure that anybody who's ever gone through this goes through different emotions," she continued. "I've been sad. I've been angry. I've been relieved. I try to not be mad at myself. I try to not be mad at him. I think that holding grudges or staying mad only hurts you, and it's just not healthy. So, I try to remind myself of that. And sure, I have days where I'm so mad at myself for just not knowing this was how it was all going to end up for me. My gosh, if I could go back, sure. But it's a part of my story, and that's okay."
