"and right there i knew you would bleed" , a best friend can only know it ....
the lyrics , your voice , visuals everything just gave me goosebumps!!!

SAME
The way “I tried to help you out, now I know that I can’t, cause how you think’s the kinda thing I’ll never understand” works both for the original and this perspective is so heartbreaking
OH MY GOD I WAS LITERALLY LOOKING FOR A COMMENT LIKE THIS!
"he always hid from the sun, and right there i knew you would bleed" is an amazing lyric
I love the way you wrote it, It perfectly portrays how a best friend would feel, also your voice is so beautiful
thank you so much!! >•

“You called them crazy God I the way you called me crazy too” THIS LINE HIT WAY TO HARD how did you do this I love this song now ❤
this line literally gave me chills 😭
Fr frr
FR
IKR! (just so you know you missed the word hate in between I and way) ❤ have a nice day!
It breaks my heart that the friend blames the original song's main character so much for the abuse. Though, of course, the friend hurt watching it all, too. The lyrics are incredibly well-crafted and the vocals are beautiful!!!
Ya it’s not very informed on DV and such.. and a best friend wouldn’t rub her face in the pain.
I don't think she blames her friend, just talks about her perspective
It's a beautifully crafted rewrite. I know what it's like to be that best friend, and I know what it's like to be the person who can't be saved. It's so hard putting in so much effort to tear someone you love and care about away from the walking red flag they're delusional for. After it ends, the best friend is allowed to be salty and the one who couldn't be saved is allowed to be hurt.
I agree, the lyrics rubbed me off the wrong. A bit of smug I told you so and a lot of victim blaming. I don't fw that at all
Acknowledging that MC was stupid and made a wrong decision does not equal to blaming her for the actions of her boyfriend. Further, the MC insulted her BFF in favor of her toxic bf. The BFF is allowed to feel betrayed and it was well-expressed in the lyrics.
"I hate to give the satisfaction asking how you're doing now" relatable.
I swear, your voice is magical and gifted! This was mesmerising, the way you wrote it, your voice, everything!
thank you!!!😩🩷
@@sambenwickI love ur singing
Here's the lyrics beshy❤
I hate to give the satisfaction
Asking how you're doing now
How's the castle built off people who just wanna help you out
now that it's haunted
Well you got what was comin'
I see the parties and the diamonds sometimes when I close my eyes
Six months of torture
That he sold me as some forbidden paradise
You loved him truly
Can't help but laugh at the stupidity
I warned you right from day one
But you never listened to me
He always hid from the sun
And right there I knew you would bleed
I always thought you were smart
But you let him make you look weak
I watched him sell you like art
As he tore you up at the seams,
Oh, bloodsucker, fame lover
Bleedin' you dry like a goddamn vampire
And every girl you ever talked to told you he was bad, bad news
You called them crazy
God I hate the way you called me crazy too
How condescending
He messed you up yet you defend him
Oh, what a mesmerizing, paralyzing
Foolish little thrill
Can't figure out just how he did it
And god knows we never will
After all that he chose her
Do you still think you know better?
I warned you right from day one
But you never listened to me
He always hid from the sun
And right there I'll I knew you would bleed
I always thought you were smart
But you let him make you look weak
I watched him sell you like art
As he tore you up at the seams,
Oh, bloodsucker, fame lover
Bleedin' you dry like a goddamn vampire
You said it was true love
You took it way too far
He can't love anyone 'cause in the end he broke your heart
I tried to help you out
Now I know that I can't
'cause how you think's the kinda thing
I'll never understand
I warned you right from day one
But you never listened to me
He always hid from the sun
And right there I knew you would bleed
I always thought you were smart
But you let him make you look weak
I watched him sell you like art
As he tore you up at the seams,
Oh, bloodsucker, fame lover
Bleedin' you dry like a goddamn vampire
Thank you
these aren’t accurate
Thank you cuz I know you spent a long time doing this but why would we need it she shows the lyrics right there😅😊😂
😅not really needed but Ty anyways

"How you think's the kinda thing I'll never understand" I felt this in my soul. I had a friend who admitted to me her boyfriend was emotionally and verbally abusive. I had even been there for a few nasty fights and him being condescending. Many of us advised her to leave him. And now they're engaged. Im not in her life like I was, but God I'm so acared for her
czcams.com/video/Fa6AvX9eido/video.htmlsi=Oa763DxOtBHjpp9s
You can only hope that she finally will see she's worth more, and do what she can to leave. I know it's hard, but try to be there for her when/if she does need it. Many people in abusive relationships feel very isolated, and the abuser usually wants that to happen to make them more likely to stay.
there's nothing you can do much,, really.. i've been there and most of the times they won't listenn to you, bcs they're very much in love with that person. love make them believe that whatever the partner does, its for love. also, its not easy to move on from a person whom you love dearly no matter how bad they treat you. because once you overlove them its hard to turn back. although i wish your friend the best :(
This hits really hard especially since I'm dealing with my best friend now moving in with the toxic guy I told her to not date and I'm watching her fade away little by little. I was surprised when I saw this video pop up on my recommended but it all made sense from just the first few lines. You have amazing talent and your voice is so soft and angelic. I'm definitely subscribing so I don't miss anything. Thank you for this.
Same here.
yes this happened to me
I warned her , she didn’t listen
Haven’t seen the person I used to tell all my secrets to since
Olivia needs to see this!! THIS WAS SO GOOD ✨
@Your.fav.Tori We need to see the best friend Conan gray do this with her
@@izzimationwho are you talking to…your the first reply..
@@Sonyyy27they deleted the comment, after they replied. Also we got the same name
REAL
Please do a cover of “what was I made for” !! I think it would sound great on your voice
OMG YESSS
Yessss
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
yesss
I will literally cry yesss
i really connected to vampire, i listened to it after realising the guy i broke up with assaulted me numerous times across the span of six months. i wish i had close friends to look out for me who i could confide in, i had no idea anything was wrong and now i'm left to deal with it all alone. maybe i'm projecting but these lyrics broke my heart, i would be crushed inside if someone told me it was my fault, it was my first relationship and he truly made me feel like my wants didn't matter.
❤
Olivia Rodrigo need to do a colab with this ASAP. its truly amazing
YOUR VOICE IS ACTUALLY MAJESTICAL

I was supporting Sam since day 1, I was there when she hit 1 thousand followers. I was supporting her before when she only have over 500 followers and she even noticed me here on youtube before. I can't believe she's a big singer now, she's successful now. I am so proud of her and her twin sister. I still listen to her old songs, my favorite songs. I play them all the time especially when I'm so down. Her voice and songs are my medicine. One of the songs i love is the "I can't sleep at night" that she wrote 2 years ago. I'm so proud of you, Sam ❤️🩹
Amazing job. I had chills the entire time. And the way you kept it soft and lowkey made it feel like they're just hurt, not actually angry unlike their best friend who is angry at themselves for not listening. Brilliant contrast. Thank you for your art ❤️🔥
your voice is beautiful, and these writing skills are incredible. "i warned you right from the start, but you never listened to me" hits hard.
As someone who was in a manipulative relationship back in high school I had friends who made me feel crazy after the fact. I don't totally know what vampire is originally about but if it's related to abuse or manipulation I don't recommend making your friends feel like it's their fault in real life (outside of the context of a song).
it's more about a friend who tried to warn her other friend about the red flags of the man she was falling for but was betrayed by this same friend who chose the new guy over her calling her crazy but yet finding out she was wrong. and no not all the bad partners are manipulative or abusive you know, sometimes they hurt your feelings for leaving or not feeling as invested or even for seeking more than you can give. still not a reason to bertay the ones who were always by your side when you just chose to ignore the red flags... we can't blame our friends for feeling bad after letting them down, their feelings are just as valid as ours after a bad break up, even more since we were in the wrong for letting them down over someone we knew was bad news. moreover, when you listen to the lyrics you can understand that the friend singing is actually feeling bad for her friend and kinda comforting her and making her realize that she is partly responsible of her pain since she made the bad choices.
A vamp is a supernatural being who is immortal except when in the sun , garlic repulses them and some metals . They suck ppl's blood cuz they dont hv it themselves.
They are really charismatic and mesmerizing and can do hypnosis soo yea
i completely get that but i have a friend who is currently in a toxic and manipulative relationship and refuses to acknowledge or see it for what it is. being in the relationship is terrible but you dont know how hard it is to watch your best friend go through that and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. this version definitely hits home. it's interesting to hear it from a new perspective.
agreed. very victim-blamey lyrics lol
@@soobinsdolphin @d.amiaka9710 these are insightful responses thank you! I think when the partner is abusive and/or manipulative they're working hard to make sure that the other partner doesn't see what they're doing which is why they can turn on their family/friends. Your experiences are very valid on your end and definitely would be hard. It's not a reason to "betray" as you said however I was more so meaning that when that friend is out of a toxic relationship and they come to you it's best to talk about how you felt and what you went through but to not make them feel that the abuse was their fault.
"devil doesn't bargain" is a song that is basiclly this POV in a song, and it's amazing, I highly recomend it
I really love Alec benjamin voice and musjc
Samee @@limariokim1614
It hurts sm when they leave you for him because you tried to tell them he wasn't a good person...n they end up getting hurt n come back to you but it's never the same again because of how they treated you.
Absolutely, you find out they’ve been betraying you WITH their toxic partner by talking bad about you only for them to come back to you when they realize that the advices they laughed at was the right one, after I found out, I never gave my friend another advice even when she asked for them.
"I warned you right from day 1," a quote that wont be forgotten.
I love the way you portrayed an angry best friend that was hurt by the way she was treated but pained at seeing her bff be put through that when it could have been avoided 😢
WHY IS THIS NOT VIRAL?? YOUR VOICE IS SPECTACULAR, THE WRITING IS AMAZING AND THE POV IDEA IS SO GOOD TO! Btw you’re so pretty❤
"but you let him look you make you look weak" is just🔛🔝🛐
Lyrics
I hate to give the satisfaction asking how you’re doing now
How’s the castle built off people who just wanna help you out
Now that it’s haunted
Well you got what was coming
I see the parties and the diamonds sometime when I close my eyes
Six months of torture that he sold as some forbidden paradise
You loved him truly
Can’t help but laugh at the stupidity
I warned you right from day 1
but you never listened to me
He always hid from the sun
And right there I knew you would bleed
I always thought you were smart
But you let him make you look weak
I watched him sell you like art
As he tore you up at the scene oh,
Bloodsucker
Fame lover
Bleeding you dry like a - vampire
And every girl you ever talked to
Told you he was bad bad news
You called them crazy , god I hate the way
You called me crazy too, how condescending
He messed you up yet you defend him
Oh what a mesmerizing ,paralyzing foolish
Little trill can’t figure out just how he did it
And god knows we never will, after all that
he chose her
do you still think you know better
I warned you right from day one but you never listened to me
He always hid from the sun
And right there I knew you would bleed
I always thought you were smart
But you let him make you look weak
I watched him sell you like art
As he tore you up at the scene oh,
Bloodsucker
Fame lover
Bleeding you dry like a - vampire
You said it was true love
You took it way to far
He can’t love anyone,
Cause in the end he broke your heart
I tried to help you out
Now I know that I can’t
Cause how you thinks the kinda
Thing I’ll never understand
I warned you right from day 1
But you never listened to me
He always hid from the sun
And right there I knew that you would bleed
I always thought you were smart
But you let him make you look weak
I watched him sell you like art
As you tore you up at the seams
Oh bloodsucker
Fame lover
Bleeding you dry like a - vampire
i love u man! i was searching for this TYSM!!
OMG!!! Thank you soooo much for the lyrics ❤❤
your lyrics fit so well into the song, and your voice is so delicate yet emotionally powerful
“He can’t love anyone ‘cause in the end he broke your heart” are just perfect
“Do you still think you❤ know better” such a little rhetorical moment that’s like a little tough love❤❤❤ line. 😊
It's a little grating to me - in the original song she admits fully that she was wrong not to listen to her friends. So now the friend just turns around to rub her face in it more even though she already admitted she was wrong. Feels kind of gross to me.
the lyrics are so, SO creative and your voice is just the cherry on top
Oh my god you are a genius! The songwriting was beautiful but how you sang blew me away! I understand the nuances of each note, each note change, inflection of each word in the actual song, so much more clearly and deeply because of how you sang your wonderful version. Thank you for your incredible work!
Damn, as someone who’s been through this countless times with friends I have to say this song hits hard. It’s endlessly frustrating to see them make the same mistakes over & over again & not listen to you (even when they explicitly ask for your council). Amazing job, your take on the lyrics & your voice are absolutely lovely :)
True😞
“He messed u up yet u defend him” hit hard
He always hid from the sun is GOLD✨✨ your voice is so pretty
GOOSEBUMPS EVERYWHERE omg.. your voice is so beautiful, thank you for blessing me today
This is exactly how I feel about my mom. We just got out of a bad situation with an abusive stepdad, and seeing someone I thought was so strong fall so hard... This song hit way too close to home.

Her voice and the fact that she looks like she could be Olivia’s younger sister or something is just ✨❤️
I love the lyric "he alaways hid from the sun and right I knew u would bleed"
I usually never write comments, but this time I really have to.
Your voice is so soft and calm and you are so prettyyyy!
It's my first time watching your videos and gosh! I am happy that CZcams recommended this video to me!
Keep it up!!!🩷🩷🩷
ur voice is literally so peaceful,and the way u wrote it is so beautiful and it shows how someone can love someone so much that it can change u and brain wash u and the way u said”and right there i knew u would bleed”shows how u can try to change them but they don’t listen because they love them and this song shows how love can be dangerously amazing and just scary.DAM,caz like it literally made me want to cry so yea,amazingly written and amazing,and beautiful lyircs
Watching my friend fall apart in his hands and watching her say "it fines, it's just a rough patch, he loves me" breaks my heart
“But you never listened to me.” Very true...🙁
Olivia rodrigo needs to see this. You’re voice is so calming and lovely keep up the good work ❤❤❤
czcams.com/video/Fa6AvX9eido/video.htmlsi=Oa763DxOtBHjpp9s
this is beautiful. thank you for making this, the flutters in your voice make it 10x more emotional.
these lyrics hit right at the heart! Love the song!
you'll never under staaaaaaaaaannnnd hit me right in the feels
She’s so beautiful and so is her voice ❤ these lyrics hit hard.
OMG girl i have been playing this on loop for a month now im so obsessed that i remember lyrics of your verison more than the original lol also original sounds like a cover to me help-
I just love the vibe of this cover like its so i have no words😭😭
this is everything, i'm obsessed. i love your voice, i love the new lyrics, i love your setup. everything is just perfect 💕
sam's voice is so angelic. if i had atleast a quarter of her talent, i would be singing nonstop. love you so much
I’m a little late for this vid but I absolutely loved it the way you changed the lyrics was so clever I could clearly understand that it was a whole different perspective even if I didn’t see the title, amazing job ❤
these lyrics are perfect, it really gets the message across
also your voice is so pretty
First: you sound so much like Olivia Rodrigo and second: this is a masterpiece!!
When she picks up the dog 😂 👏
I... I have no words.. this is a masterpiece, I'm almost crying.. are you an angel? this is amazing ✨️
I relate to the lyrics so much. I had a friend who had a toxic af bf and i warned her that he was gonna be the reason we were gonna end things. They broke up after few months but she never forgot abt him and even flirted with him while she was in a relationship with a guys who would do anything for her. So we ended things. It hurts but i kinda glad bc she was toxic too
chills.. LITERAL CHILLS.
Th lyrics are so well written, def pictures how this song would b from a best friend's pov.
"you said it was true love, you took it way to far, he cant love anyone cause in the end he broke your heart" THAT HITS SO HARD girly how did u do this 😭😭😭❤ i love this sm
This was written so beautifully, exactly what I needed. I love it so much.
You are amazing. So extremely talented. Your lyrics hit right where they’re supposed to. Thank you
This just hit different and I keep playing this on loop
This is beautiful! I saw it on TikTok, the full version is amazing!!❤❤
Your voice is beautiful!!❤❤
truly calming and soothing voice you have
This actually gave me chills
omg we need more “friends pov” songs!! this is too good
Damn this hits way harder than it should
You have a gorgeous voice! I think I like this version even better than the original.
"i warned you right from day one," has me
I'm sorry but you are drop-dead gorgeous💕💕
At this point you should just be the next Olivia Rodrigo! Olivia Rodrigo needs to see this!
czcams.com/video/Fa6AvX9eido/video.htmlsi=Oa763DxOtBHjpp9s
Love your voice, so sweet and soothing 😭 and the change in lyrics💓🥺 i can relate to this with my friends too, i've been the one who always to warn them about things but they never listen and when it is actually happening like what i said they just keep denying and ignoring my advices...good, i cut them all off now
this is somewhat relatable to me coz of how my best friend goes out with random people online and i always tell her not to but she never listens, gets hurt, and comes to me for comfort when she shouldve listened to me.
just went through this with my friend and this summaries my feelings perfectly
this version is soo beautiful ahhhhh
That’s brilliant - the rewrite, your voice, just everything! So amazing 💖
Wow. I feel this too much. I tried to help my now ex best friend get out of a manipulative relationship similar to this and they just pushed me so far away and said I was crazy, they never apologized for that and all of the shit they said about me when I was just trying to help.
I fuc*ing cried while hearing this song. You are incredible and i could relate to the lyrics so much😭♥
oh my god why is your voice so beautiful🥰
aaahh thank u! >•
Literally! I’m in love ❤❤❤
@@sambenwickfr tho it’s beautiful like i thought it was Olivia Rodrigo singing in the start but no like girl u just slayed❤❤❤
your voice is soo unique i love it, great job on this!!
Chills. Literal chills.
@OliviaRodrigo she needs to listen to this, @ Olivia RN ❤❤❤❤❤
This should be more viral. Your voice is so angelic! 🤍❣️
Uwahhh that was so goodd!! I love how mystical and whimsical your voice soundss its just calming and chilling at the same time!!!
This would go so well in an fmv for heartbeat (the kdrama) omg
Love how shes singing to the dog
Your voice is so angelic 🥺💖💖 I love this version. It deserves sm more ❤
girl you’re so good at conveying emotions like i had tears in the eyes
czcams.com/video/Fa6AvX9eido/video.htmlsi=Oa763DxOtBHjpp9s
“I warned you right from day one,I watched him sell you like art” That was beuatiful!
literally have goosebumps
You and ur singing prowess always gives a new vibe inside me Sam cant get over it loveu heaps💗🫶 more pleaseeee thank you sweety
I love how you worked so hard to put your own lyrics and made this child friendly I will forever love you for that keep up to good work❤
omg i love this! it makes perfect sense, you have an amazing voice and the lyrics hit hard. love it!
The “Ohhh” was so beautiful!
I love how her voice sounds and how she slowed some parts down to match her voice speed
Woah! That chorus hits too hard. My friend definitely relates with this, she once told me that her cousin was played by some boy and even though she warned her to ignore the guy but...well things happened. Btw I accidentally found your fb acc hehe 😅
"I watched him sell you like art as he tore you up at the seams" - the AMOUNT OF EMOTION filled in this sentence is just 🤌! I really love how you wrote this version...
Ur so underrated like this version is perfect just like the original one ur version deserve better
