I didn't realise how bad I thought I was until I was crying over this song. I'm not smart, I don't have any talents, I don't have many friends and I feel like I'm just here, just living. I don't know what my purpose is and I feel like such a failure. I don't want to be going to college and I am still annoyed that I didnt do very well in my GCSE's. I have always wanted to buy them a lovely house they are proud of but I am realising that buying my own house will be such a struggle that I probably won't be able to. my life is just not how I had hoped. all I wanted was friends, to be happy and maybe a boyfriend at least once in my life 😄

Well, i lost my mum when i was born. My father who drunk EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. He once got way TOO drung and pushed me to the ground. The police came and got him, now i live with my grandma who is my mum in a way cuz she raised me now im 13 and 6 years ago this happend to me. I never knew how it feels like to have a mother. Mum i hope we'll see eachother one day in heaven ❤

I am 15 and each time I listen to this song, I just feel so bad and feel so much guilt for the way I treated my parents. They were trying their best. They are human. Im sorry Mum and Dad. I may never say it, but I love you so much and I swear I can't live without them

aww u can see the pain in her

Why is no one talking about how amazing her voice is! And this is live wtf I’m so shook it’s like the original version

“Cutting myself up and tearing my self down “💔

Shoutout to all the failures out there ✊🏼🤷🏻‍♂️

Anna, I'm breathless. This is so painfully honest and beautiful. 💛

I cry everytime the line “I had the world at my feet before I could even stand” comes on and I can’t stop crying. I love my parents with my whole heart and this hits hard

I’m a mom, and I promise all of you, your mom and dad absolutely love and adore you, no matter what! You are enough, just as you are. Square your shoulders and keep moving forward. We ALL make mistakes. Just learn from them and go forward. You are beautiful.

For anyone writing comments that are saying horrid stuff about themselves. You're you you were put on this earth for a reason. So love yourself!

chills so many chills.

me coming back after many months because i suddenly thought of the lyrics since i'm back in the same situation *again* : aw, shit, here we go again

i feel like this every single day.... every day i lock myself into the bathroom and make myself cry...... and act like i didnt cry....

I'm really sad about my friend because her family calls her useless when she makes a mistake. I love her tho. I'm always here for her

this is so emotional and so perfect. im 13 right now and im so scared for my future im scared i wont be good enough im scared i wont get through highschool im scared i dont know what ill do. *if you think you arent good enough for your parents think again*

I'm sorry mum and dad, I know I messed up bad I should've, should've done, should've done better I'm sorry mum and dad, for all the time I had To get my life, to get my life together, But I didn't 1993, you gave birth to me Sweet little baby girl Had the world in my feet Before I could even stand Cradle me in your right and left hand Precious bundle of unmade plans Hopes and dreams of bigger things A bright future so it seemed But that light grew a little less bright As I grew and we began to fight When I was 13, I was so damn mean Running away, had nothing more to say Than I hate you But that's not true now I just don't, I just don't know how to say I'm sorry mum and dad, I know I messed up bad I should've, should've done, should've done better I'm sorry mum and dad, for all the time I had To get my life, to get my life together, But I didn't You never talk about to your friends Because you must be so embarrassed I dropped out of college without any plans Moved back home I couldn't even pay rent I was living on your couch trying to figure it out Putting myself up and tearing myself down I'm sorry mum and dad, I know I messed up bad I should've, should've done, should've done better I'm sorry mum and dad, for all the time I had To get my life, to get my life together, But I didn't I'm sorry that I couldn't buy you, that house upon the hill Or take care of all your medical bills I know I didn't make you proud I should've been someone by now But I never figured out how I'm sorry that I couldn't buy you, that house upon the hill Or take care of all your medical bills I know I didn't make you proud I should've been someone by now But I never figured out how I'm sorry mum and dad, I know I messed up bad I should've, should've done, should've done better I'm sorry mum and dad, for all the time I had To get my life, to get my life together, I'm sorry mum and dad, I know I messed up bad I should've, should've done, should've done better I'm sorry mum and dad, for all the time I had To get my life, to get my life together, But I didn't

My parents told me I could be anything I wanted when I grow up and choose to be a disappointment

Both my parents passed away, and this song just really gets to me. Im still young, but i wish i wouldve accomplished more while they were here and just make them the proudest they could be. Im sorry Ma and Pa. Im sorry

I litterally cried so much😢😢😢 my grandma takes care of me cuz me parents are seperated so i live with my grandma. I been in a fight with her alot of times and i hated her when that happens. But whenever im sick she always take good care of me but i diddnt notice that. When i heard this song i thinked twiced and i looked at my grandma and shes doing lots of work. I felt so sorry for her. I hugged her and sang some parts of this song. Then i promist myself ill take good care of her when im older like she did to me☺

As a mother.. this break's my heart... We still love you! Forget that picture you have carried; embrace the future as it is.. not as we think it should be! Truthfully, I'm happy with our people. My kids and THIER children are all I need; took me forever to realize it. 😉🤍🌹 Learn WHO you are. 💋

This song hits me like bricks every time I hear it

With a daughter with such an amazing voice I don't think they were ever disappointed with her.

I just sung this song to my mom and dad and they started crying and said....sweetie it’s ok 👌....just be the best u can be..and I was crying...

"I'm sorry mom and dad i know I've messed up bad, i should've done better." "i know i didn't make you proud" Sincerely your daughter. This is exactly what i wanna say this moment.

Anyone reading this, I have three words for you. *KEEP MOVING FORWARD* I know you’ve probably heard those words a lot. But they’re true. I know this because I’ve seen things no kid should EVER have to see. If you let it go, it gets easier. It still hurts but the pain is more bearable than it was. God bless you! ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️

This song helped wake me at one of the lowest points of my life. After I listened to it for the first time and hearing it accurately express everything I wish I could say to my parents, I cried all night, listening to it on repeat. I was never a bad kid, but I was too mature for my own good, not fitting in with my peers and not being taken seriously by those who were older than me. It made me extremely insecure and I became detached from the world around me, watching my life fall to pieces but unable to overcome the fear and anxiety of facing it. But I was able to rise above it and get my life back on a track I could control and now have more freedom than I could ever wish. Thank you Anna Clendening. I don't know if mere words could capture my gratitude to you. Thank you

First gave me chills then all of a sudden BOOM tears. So relatable :(

No matter what, this song will always hold a special place in my heart.

I keep seeing a lot of comments just saying horrible things about themselves. Just remember that everything happens for a reason and there will always be someone who loves you even if you feel like no one does. It's ok to mess up. It's not ok to downgrade yourself because of it. If you find someone who loves you back grab them and never let go. If you find a healthy thing that interests you, do it. It could take a long time to get your life back on the right tracks but it will happen. Never give up.

I'm obsessed with this song

I have been waiting for this ever since you posted the 6 sec preview 😭

For someone who still at his or her home, bless you! and for those who faraway from home and couldn't go home, may angel be your friend.

Every time I listen to this song I tear up. It's so surreal and personal. Her voice and emotion just make it even more so. You are beautiful and amazing Anna.

anyone else relate to this really hard?

This song is so emotional, relatable and raw. It reminds me of my friend and she is having family problems. Her parents fight almost everyday and they blame everything on her. They shout at her before finishing a sentence, she’s been failing classes due to personal issues. She can’t even talk to her parents for a second. The only people she can talk too about her problems are her brothers. But the thing is, they don’t give a damn about her and what she is going through. She had too move schools and leave all of her childhood friends behind. She has blocked me and most of the others, and idk how to help her. I tried giving her advice ,but the next day...that was when she blocked me. Meera if you are reading this, let us help you. We won’t let you go through this alone. Remember we love you! 💞

i keep coming back to these type of songs when i have a sudden rush off guilt for everything i’ve done so i know i’m not necessarily alone.

No matter who's hurting, there is somebody willing to listen. This is why Anna is my favorite music artist. She steps up and she makes people feel better about themselves.

is anyone else waiting for this on iTunes...? 🤔❤️😍

I feel like I'm a failure to my mom.....

I’ve been listening to this song since I was like 12 I’m now 18 and it hurts sm more now becuase it’s so true, I dropped out school at 14, I make no money, I have no friends, no motivation nothing and I struggle with mental health but all I ever wanted was to make them both proud and now I don’t have my dad anymore so it’s jus my mum but I’m still jus disappointing her…

I can't even begin to explain the way this absolutely breathtakingly beautiful girl Anna has BLOWN me away I seriously want to meet this young talented little lady she is AMAZING in every sense of the word!!! I suffer from the exact same condition she is tormented by,.and just that in itqself is a hugely tremendous accomplishment, she has come so far and I'm positive that she never in a million years imagined that she would be so successful only cause I know that due to the depression and anxiety disorder we are crippled by...we are our own worst critic and judge we listen to these voices that constantly tell us we are never good enough and that we are the ugliest most unworthy of any type of joy or love in this world. In fact to our selves we truly believe that we are FAILURES AND are so not deserving of any love from anyone and noone will ever want to love us or befriend us and we are never going to amount to be anything and noone is ever going to love us. 😥 I'm so PROUD OF HER Anna your a inspiration I'm going to FOLLOW YOU FROM HERE ON OUTSIDE. I TRULY WANT U TO KNOW YOU ARE SOOO GENUINELY GIFTED, YOU MY ANGEL 😇 for sure are I guarantee you are going to take the world by STORM. YOU FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS I KNOW THERE ISN'T A THING YOU CAN'T DO. ❤️🤗😊😁

i just can’t this song gets me every time. i have listened to this for like literally 100 times but i cry all the time

I really love this song. It's my favorite. People listen to this and say it's not real music... I don't know how this isn't "real music" cause it's damn amazing

2 years ago I genuinely believed that I was a disappointment and wouldn't be anything else and today I finally decided to be a US Marine... things get better and no one deserves to feel like that

Why are masterpiece songs like this so underrated? This song is whole another emotion

I’m 22. Haven’t talked to my parents in 5 years, I showed them this song because I didn’t know how to say sorry to them, and. Ow were working through it. So, yeah thank you sooo much Anna!

I've never ever cried because of a song (ive heard many emotional songs) but this... oh my.

I failed everything ..im at my 30's and got 2kids now..but i still feel im a big failure not just to myself but for my parents but i still want to go back to school to prove to anyone that i have something to prove not for myself but also my parents.. i know half of my life i always regret of dropping out of college and put the blame to them because they're as not as supportive as they can be but i realize that i messed up too.. because i choose to go settle for a family of my own.. i know i cannot erase my mistakes in the past but i wanted to make them right this time..

Four years later and I’m still coming back. This song is so full of pure emotion and your voice is captivating. Thank you !

this is one of my favorite songs. not because i can necessarily relate, but because it shows true emotion and is sung beautifully.

dang this hit home hard.

this song hits in a different place for me, i lost my mom 6 years ago, i was 10. for the longest time i blamed myself for being a bad daughter, i truly believed i was the cause for her pain and her death, i can’t count the amount of times i wish i could go back and fix everything. my dad well he was gone and i blamed myself for that, it took over me for what felt like forever. people say it gets easier, can you tell me when it even starts to, cause i still blame myself, i could have done better , i could have helped. i know i could have

Our English teacher made us listening to this in the class... THEY ARE TEACHING YOUR SONG!!!

This song forever makes me cry...

Damn it, who put onions in my room! 😭 This so beautiful! Ahhhhhhh I'm not crying! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

It’s 2023…. I still listen to this

respect to all the parents that stayed there for their children.

no other song has made cry as much as this one did......its so relatable I feel like I'm a war against them right now because we had a big fight and I got slapped so that night I ran away for almost a week then I came back crying and my moms mad at me because I haven't talked to anyone at all since I came back.........

I showed this to my mom and she cried

I didn't really realise how far I've come until I heard this song again. I used to cry over this song because it felt true - I'd wasted too much time, I couldn't do anything, I wasn't as good as I wanted to be, and my parents were always embarrassed of me... but now I know I'm good enough, I know I'm forgiven, and I know my parents are proud of me

You are such an inspiration to so many people, myself included. I was diagnosed with anxiety and bipolar depression when I was 12. I'm 23 now and I still struggle with confidence and putting myself out there on a daily basis. But watching your journey has truly given me hope that a better time is coming. Thank you for having the strength and courage and for believing in what you love.

What's up Anna? Are you okay? It's been a really long time since you uploaded anything.

The raw emotion of this gave me not only chills but tears , I didn't quite understand until I listened to this that I can relate and I know so many other people can too , you keep doing you Anna

With a voice like yours, no parent should be disappointed.

I've put my parents and brother through so much hell and I play music to apologize because I don't know how to word them sometimes and I sobbed so hard and that was the first time I realized I needed help and I that I'm an addict to not drugs or alcohol something just as bad. They didn't talk about me much in present tense and I'm only 17 and after I played this I told them I ready to be serious about help and man this is the best decision I've ever made

I am in a situation with my parents. Honestly, I am a spoilt brat and my parents treat me like a princess. This term at school I have been trying to get good grades and unfortunately that did not pay off(I didn't get the the good grades I wanted in every single subject I do). My dad had taken me out to get things for school and for my friend's birthday and then the next day I treat my dad like shit. My mother had payed for my new phone and I still treat her like shit. My parents had to move country for a better life and although they may not have the best education themselves they are trying to give me the best one they could possibly afford, like I have tutoring and my parents shout out my brothers to help me revise for a test(which I still do shit in). Not only that I want to be a role model to my younger brother but with me shouting at my parents, constantly that is not working. And my mother has a blood issue and it is affecting her leg a lot but dumbarse me doesn't even try to help her around the house, I fucking hate myself.Also, I am too scared to say sorry as I feel as it may feel awkward. Does anybody have any tips on how I could treat my parents better? wow gosh this is embarrassing.

I've been waiting for the full version for so long 💕

I started listening to this song when I was very young, and it has always inspired me to do better for my parents. I want to make them proud of me, and even if they are right now, I want to do everything in my power to do better every single day.

I love how I memorized this song years ago and now I can sing it flawlessly😞

I've waited for this song for so long😭😍 Thanks for Sharing something emotional like This with us!❤

IVE WAITED FOR THIS FOR THE LONGEST TIME! WELL DONE ANNA THIS IS AMAZING AND I CAN CLEARLY SEE WHY YOU TOOK YOUR TIME TO FINISH IT!!

This song makes me cry every time. Anna is a beautiful inspiration. Human, fragile, strong, amazing, compassionate, and talented! We’re all a mix of good and bad, failures, mistakes, wins, and successes. Stay strong y’all!! ♥️♥️♥️

Literally crying. This is so good, and totally explains how I feel.

I told my mom to drink bleach one time and she came in with a cleaned bleach bottle with water and chugged it I literally I thought she was gonna die and I was like oh shit and I flipped out and I just love how my family communicates

i feel like an embarrassment to my parents even though I'm young I have good grades but I have a horrible attitude and I tend to fight with my brother,mom and dad in front of people and I feel like I don't have a good start in life and i know they talk about it but i don't care i am doing this to myself and my only friend was more like family to me because i did not see what i did to my parents and how i just sit around all day not doing something with my life and use your blame my mom for it. she kept me inside but i now understand she dose not want me to get hurt she only wanted the best for me and if you read this , please use your time better than me. your parents are the ones that have your back more than a friend and if you don't you can lose family like i did.

says a lot about our parents when so many people can relate so deeply with this song

Ik how it feels to be this way I'm 13 and depressed and everyday I try and put on a fake smile and make them happy!

Even tho I am just 15 I really think this is exactly how I will be in the future... A failure for my parents...😢

this song❤️. I'm singing to my parents when I give my report card

I've been in love with this song for YEARS but only listened to it in Nightcore version (I know 😓) but just came across her today and am binging all her music and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER!! Such a beautiful voice and I can tell from what I've seen so far that she truly loves her music, best of luck Anna! 💖💖

I’m glad I told my dad sorry before he passed away 😢😭💙💙☝🏻

oh my word. this is one of the most beautifully raw and emotional originals I have ever heard. I just discovered you today and regret that I didn't find you so much earlier. You're one of those artists people 'need' in their lives, not just because you sing good but you created something beautiful that made me actually 'feel' something. Love you! Keep it up!

I never had a Dad but hearing her sing makes me want one and climb a mountain for him

Everytime I listen to this song I cried cause I remembered my mom that passed away 3 years ago

It's going to be rare if you'd actually read my comment, but 5 years ago, I listened to this very song and now everytime I feel down or depressed... all I have to think it to sing out the top of my lungs of how I feel. So thank you so so much for everything Anna and I'm sorry it took me so long to thank you for everything you do for your fans. You're amazing!

she kinda reminds me of Christina grimmie. idk. 😔❤️

I waited so long for this song it's just as good as I imagined

2020 anyone.This touched my ❤️

This song helps me understand myself a little more. I’ve been diagnosed with so many things that I just get lost in the labels but when I hear this song my mind and heart opens up more and helps me let all the pain out so I can understand my disorders more and accept myself too

Hi, I'm Catarina and i'm 17. I only want to say that i start crying since the beggining of this song, because i'm feeling everything you said in this moment. I feel that life is conspiring against me, I feel that I am disappointing my parents, but above of all, myself ... I feel that I am not strong enough to overcome what are passing in my life.. everything that is happening is such difficult to accept ... This music Just deserved likes .. You turn all my feelings into words .. and I think that only who really goes through this, it will understands. Btw i'm Portuguese so sorry for my English. Thank you for this song, Cat

I love this song. i'm a freshmen in high school so it's not like I experienced a lot but I have done so much messed up things. My best friend had been in jail 3 times and I put potheads in my life. I came across this song at 3 in the morning and it hit me so damn hard. I went into my freshmen year left almost all of my old 'friends' behind. I can now say I have a 3.5 GPA and have great real, friends. it's crazy what one song can do.

I'm 12 and this song always makes me cry

this song makes me feel like somebody just ripped my heart into pieces, and I can't do anything, just so weak like I'm nobody, I'm not needed and it breaks my heart, even more, realizing that what she must be feeling and going through that made these emotions of her flow, and get to us. this song is so strong.
