      To me, it kinda gives the feeling of watching all the built up pain release/fall away. Like a heavy rain cloud.

      Man I wish I had outlets to cry to and not shut down my emotions any chance they try to escape because I used to get yelled at for showing and smidge of emotion. 🙂😊 the joys of a dysfunctional and abusive family. Haha... Sucks to be me ig.😶😬

    I love this song it made me cry because her voice breaks once and it just sounds so sad, kind of like child abuse in my opinion. You did great :)

      +Leda M You're right. They played this at a concert I went to and she said it was dedicated to a friend of theirs that was a sexual abuse victim.

    • @Zzzk23
      @Zzzk23 Před 8 lety +26

      +Leda M this song is what I listen to help me cope with my sexual and emotional abuse, so knowing that was the reason it was written makes it even better.

  • @falaqrani8611
    @falaqrani8611 Před 6 lety +28

    I don't know if this is just because I'm 12 but when I hear this song it makes me think of someone getting physically bullied in school that's sad but I still can't stop listening to this way too good🖒

  • @angelnexuscloud5513
    @angelnexuscloud5513 Před 3 lety +2

    This song makes me think about how you can be very negative to yourself even after recovering from depression and you have to will yourself to not sink into that pit again

  • @butteronapoptart89
    @butteronapoptart89 Před 4 lety +15

    This is my favorite song because it reminds me of someone who was sexually abused, because I was sexually touched and abused a year ago by a teenage boy, This song helps me realize that I’m not alone and that it’s not my fault. If anyone out there is going through the same thing just know that you are not alone ❤️ you are not the only one going through something and you’ll always have someone out there that loves you

  • @heexy6969
    @heexy6969 Před 4 lety +2

    I love this song, it helps me cry when almost all of the time I am unable to.
    You're only a memory. Best memory I've ever got. It takes me so much strengh to hold myself from trying to reach out. I know that without me you are better. So I still have to endure thinking about you everyday. About your cute smile, our wonderful memories together. And now you are not the same person. I am not the same person. But I will stay strong, for you. Forever I'll last, for you just to feel better.

  • @HadesWolf13

    This song helped me so much. My ex replaced me for another girl. Yesterday I read the comments underneath his Instagram picture,, they were super close and all.. it gave me a stomach twisting feeling. I know he isn’t worth it. But that doesn’t mean it won’t hurt me. But this song reminds me of how strong I am and that I can get through this. But it just needs some months to pass to heal again, I’m really impatient though

  • @alanarich3
    @alanarich3 Před 8 lety +12

    this song is dedicated to someone I used to trust but you ruined that in 20 minutes and because of you I'm back to square fucking one. but I forgive you. you'll never forgive yourself. maybe you'll learn what no means

      Right here. But, honestly they're not wrong. You can forget, but you can't forgive. Honestly, every one else got it all wrong. If I do something wrong, I will forget it. I can't forgive myself though. You break down eventually.

  • @racheldonathan1945
    @racheldonathan1945 Před 7 lety +33

    this makes me think of a guy I love. he was my best friend and one day he just pushed me away over night he changed. i haven't heard from him since he pushed me away back in late March early April or this year. I have tried reaching out to him but he won't text me. I still think about him every day I wish I could forget him I wish it didn't still hurt I wish I could hate him but instead I love him and miss him

    • @crystalclear6841
      @crystalclear6841 Před 6 lety

      Margaret tell i can agree with that. But you should try giving him a second chance maybe something bad happened to him in his life that caused him to change maybe you should text or sing him this song and then tell him how you feel cuz sometimes people only push the ones they love away because they don't want to hurt the one they love i know that from experience i push the people i care about away because i don't want to hurt them so try to push yourself toward him

  • @luzarlethbs3014
    @luzarlethbs3014 Před 7 lety +16

    This is such a great song
    there is a part that really gets me "watch you panic its tragic" it reminds me of when my bf wanted to kill himself and i was like right there i saw everything i tried to stop him but nothing would work so then i called 911 and he went to the mental hospital for a while after he came out he broke up with me bc "i dont want you to be stressed out bc of me and worry about me all the time " it has only been 10 days since all of this happened and im sitting on top of a tree right now as i write this just listening to this song and remembering all that happened. Hopefully he is going to be okay and i wiah him the best of things to come for him. When he left me it was really hard to acknowledge the fact that i wasnt gonna be able to talk to him anymore after he had blocked me on everything but ill get well soon maybe, maybe i wont but i wont give up. His birthday is coming up soon and i had already bought his bday present ahead of time do you guys think i should give it to him or just keep it? I miss him alot and ill love him for the rest of my life, he was my angel and my only love, he is going through alot rn and i just want him to be well.

  • @jajohnek
    @jajohnek Před 7 lety +3

    I hope I don't come as a whiner or aggressive or anything, I'm hoping for constructive criticism.
    The lyrics sometimes end in the middle of a phrase. If there is intention to that, no probs, but otherwise I'd suggest cutting them in the places where there is a small pause (eg.: 2:45 the "I'll scream these" really is a part of the next slide, so cutting before would make it easier to sing along, as you can always see the whole part).
    Thanks for putting your own time and providing this video for all of us ;)

    This song is so me...
    My stupid ex left me a few months ago and all I just want to die, really.
    But this song fits me so well.

    • @WouterVrolijk
      @WouterVrolijk Před 7 lety +2

      Same thing, dude.
      First off: it's not worth dying for such an ex, although it might feel that way. You're loved, bro, look at God, look at family, look at your friends, see the love they have for you and know you're loved. It's terrible going through this shit, (right there with you, man), but stand up. Stand up and love yourself, you don't need one (wo)man's appreciation or attention to validate your entire life.
      Listen to this song, make it help you deal with all those feelings and thoughts and then... go live YOUR life.
      You're able to do so much, you're valued by so many people (I don't know you, but this is a pretty safe bet) and best of all: God loves you, even if you don't believe in Him.
      Be magnificent!
