"I'm so proud of you for getting this far" really hits hard. These small sentences in the middle of a song just touch my heart

"The hell in your head will be nothing compared to the person that it couldn't kill" that line is so strong

I don’t leave comments often, but hearing “I’m so proud of you for getting this far” made me tear up and start crying, I’m one of the people my friends always goes to for support but I rarely reach out for myself, I’m always okay, always fine, they never burden me but I burden myself. Hearing it in words, someone being proud of me for getting this far, it just made me cry and i needed to cry like this today. It’s been so hard recently, but hearing this song? I really needed it, thank you so much.

Its sad when a band understands you more then the people you love the most 😭

I don't know what it is about you guys, but you guys always release the songs I needed to hear when I needed to hear them. You've saved my life many times over the last few years, and I cannot thank you enough.

Thank you guys for all of these wonderful songs! Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Stay strong friends. Keep On;

I don't live, I merely exist. And it's harder every single day. No one should be in this much pain, physically and mentally. I can no longer fake the smile as I did in my profile photo.

This is like a sequel to “Would Anyone Care” and I am LIVING for it. Thank you for being here for those of us who need it. You guys are absolutely amazing ❤

I needed this right now. Sometimes existing is exhausting. Thank you for saying you're proud of all of is, those who are still continuing even when it feels like there isn't a point. You remind us that there is. We're proud of you, too.

“Cause the hell in your head, will be nothing compared to the person it couldn’t kill” Such a beautiful way to end an amazing song!!! Most likely going to become my comfort song of choice for the next month

I have fallen back into that dark place and its only listening to these songs that have kept me breathing. Thank you Citizen soldier, you and your songs have saved me from my demons time and time again. If it weren't for you, I would have been dead long ago.

I swear, I was close to lose my fight, but this music is keeping me alive. It's like the medicine that the therapists never could, and never can give me. This type of music you give is like a welcoming to a home that many people dream of. The messages you give are those words I needed to hear for my whole life. Thank you for saving my life

The line "how many times have you counted the ways you could end it, cause you are tired of saving yourself" hit hard, I did that a few times when I fell into my darkest times it was mildly terrifying thinking back on it. Beautiful song thank you so much ❤️

Waited for this song to release to share with my friend. They're in such a rough place right now and this'll hopefully lift their spirits a little. ❤

My daughter passed away she was 7 months old. Due to sids. I begged god for a sign she was ok and safe. I didn't know this song existed, and I had my phone screen off,i didnt touch anything, and in the middle of another song, this song played. I can't explain how I felt, i cried i cried so hard. but I think my baby was trying to tell me to stay alive for her. I don't know if Citizen Soldier will see this or anything else i write, but thank you, thank you for letting her talk to me In a way I understood. You gave me a reason to live after all this pain you gave me a reason to stay. I have severe depression and suicidal thoughts constantly i wake up everyday wishing i didnt. i have pain in places invisible to others and this song keeps me going it gives me hope. It gives me some sort of light in all this dark. Im tired of saving myself. im tired of existing. I cant cry anymore. Im tired of the pain. I dont dream. There are no more good days. i just want it to go away. Music is my outlet this song is one ill never stop listening to especially when i feel like this.

'your not the only one that is feeling like this' a simple sentence but has made me feel more confident and less alone

I'm not gonna lie... I started crying to this song within 10 seconds. 'I'm Not Okay' was my personal favourite song for some time, then you just bump it off with this gorgeous piece. Wonderful from start to finish.

I'm literally crying right now... For some people living is a constant fight. And that's tiring.... I'm 33 yearrs old now and still can't believe I've made it this far... thank you guys so much for your music.

I remember when I first found this band, the first song being “Never Good Enough”, I passed it off as a group of people just making songs. I wasn’t a big fan of the kind of music, but I really liked the instrumental. I always thought everything that others created had a meaning or motive behind it. But for songs, I did not. But then, I received a text from a friend, who I have not talked to in years. It was a message, thanking me for being by their side and for showing them how much I cared for them..just for listening to them vent and giving some advice and giving them some comfort and support for the things they did. I began to panic, thinking that I was gonna lose them, but then they sent a song by Citizen Soldier called “Found”. When we saw each other again, we cried as we hugged each other after so long. This song had me shaking in my chair because of how much I can relate to it. And with how the subtle and small details visually added to the video. I was so close to crying and I was in a family dinner. If I weren’t to find this band, me and my friend wouldn’t be here, and I’m so glad that we found this band.

"Some pain is just too much for words". I feel that in my soul. Thank you for putting words to our feelings.

Sometimes, if you can't live for yourself, live for others.

I don't know if you'll ever read this. Jake, but most of your songs have saved my life and this one is no exception. So if you ever read this, thank you for everything and I'll do my best to keep holding on because of your kind words

I live for the day someone says, "I'm proud of you for getting so far."

I'm glad I never ended my life

It's hard to suffer from mental illnesses and not being able to explain. Amazing song with amazing words. Impatient to hear song about ocd too❤ 💜

One day i'm healing.. next day i'm breaking again both days i'm not giving up though thank you so much for this amazing emotional song! :)

I've healed from my mental issues a while ago, I wish I'd found this band sooner. It makes me cry, listening to these lyrics. I really hope it helps anyone and everyone that is suffering. Know that you are loved, live on, friends😊

If your heart is broken, you’ll find God right there; if you’re kicked in the gut, he’ll help you catch your breath 🕊️✝️❤️ He is the healer of the brokenhearted He is the one who bandages their wounds 🕊️✝️❤️ The eyes of the LORD watch over those who do right; his ears are open to their cries for help 🕊️✝️❤️ God cares for you, so turn all your worries over to him 🕊️✝️❤️

You guys are the reason Im living..

This was suggested to me while listening to the song “Gandi - Lugata” 👍👍

Ive been going through depression and anxiety for 8 years and honestly these beautiful songs have help me out so much and im still here 🥺😭❤️

"I'm so proud of you for getting this far", this hit hard. Now, the next question is "Can i go further? How far?"

I didnt think i could love a CS song more, this song had me in tears and im not ashamed to admit it, this is by FAR my favorite song of yours, this is absolutely amazing, keep up the outstanding work CS 💙

I'm also really glad I made it this far. Love this new song. Made me cry my eyes out. Was needed. Keep holding on little butterflies. We got this ❤

After 10 years of suicidality, i have to say that the biggest reason im stable now is leaving the church. Leaving religion marked the exact moment my life started improving. I stopped praying to a god that doesnt exist and focused on fixing my life myself. Now i can lift 300 lbs, i have a job a car and a lovely girlfriend... and im happy for the first time in my life....

I love how all these songs always tell a story while also telling us that it will be worth it to keep going. The little lines like "I'm so proud of you for getting this far," "I'm a stranger at best, but please don't second guess," and "If you're hearing this song its a gift, a reason to live" just make me feel so much better and so much worse at the same time. It makes me cry, but makes me feel like life is worth living. Thank you for telling me and all the others to keep trying. Some of us may not have still been here today without it.

😢 all i want to do is cry 😭. This is how i feel

God this song is amazing. The beautiful lyrics, the emotion in the vocals, the message, everything. This song definitely is one of my favourites now, and it needs to be shared. Can’t wait to hear more from you guys! 💙

Thank you so very much for this song. You expressed exactly how I'm feeling at this moment. Over two years of sacrificing all that I had and am to minister to others that need healing, and I've been left on the street with nothing for most of it, facing intensive persecution every day. Your words express exactly what that feels like and I appreciate that you willingly put them out there. God bless you and please keep being real. So tired of fake "Christian" encouragement from those in ivory towers.

I Didn't know I needed to hear this, but by the tears streaming down my face, my heart needed this. Thank you for creating this song.❤

Omg 😭😩😭 his voice at the end. now that was definitely a gift. this whole song is everything! this is truly what i needed to hear. the message is very strong & powerful. the whole world needs to hear this. ♥️👏🏻♥️‼️ @2:44

Thank you so much guys. You've helped me throughout my melancholic ocean, I relate to every word you sing in every song you release 😢❤ I love y'all so much and more support.🤞✨🥺

"How many times have you counted the ways you could end it, cause you are tired of saving yourself" I feel like I do this a lot and recently I came acrost this song along with some of your others your music helps me so much I'm in a hard situation and keep overthinking I can't stop listing thank you for this wonderful masterpiece. ❤

Im Not Even An Adult, Yet I Understand The Lyrics, Ive Been In That Place Multipull Times, And Everytime I Was, Your Songs Have Helped Me Through It, Thank You-

Much love ❤

Every single time i feel urge to end it - you guys release song and push me to not give up on me. I've cried a lot of tears while listening to your songs and this tears were the tears of healing. thank you.

"I'm so proud of you for getting this far." I needed that today. Thank you😭❤

Everyone in these comments who has ever struggled with these feelings, I’m so proud of you all for getting this far ❤❤

These Songs hit home so Hard and your ability to write Lyrics and speak to our Wounded Souls is unbelievable. #LongLiveCitizenSoldier

I didn’t know I could click on a video that fast! Thank you I was going to attempt tonight but heard this song and am crying on the floor right now thank you for all you do not just for me for everyone out there who are going thru the same thing I am.

I really needed this song right now...I really did..thank you so much guys.. seriously.. you're saving lives 💞

i wont lie, your songs make me break down, and in a strange way i love it. they hit so hard that some days i feel like they were written for the hell that my life has slowly turned into over the years.. and you actually replying to my emails, it means so much to me... i honestly look up to you guys, and have so much respect for you and what your doing...

'Cause some pain is too much for words' definitely hit hard😢... 'Would anyone care' is now my official #2. This song really top it. Keep up the amazing songwriting Citizen Soldier!

I actually don't have depression but I found you guys and loved your songs. You guys can touch the heart in different ways.❤️🤩

Your band, and your music is what’s keeping me alive. This is the lowest I’ve ever been and I’m so grateful there’s songs like this one out there. I hope you realise how many people you’ve helped with your music. Your band is so underrated. Keep making music

I don't know how, but this artist manages to convey exactly what I feel. Citizen Soldier us what keeps me going when I feel like there is no one who understands.

Your music has helped a nation an I thankyou for the words you sing an once I found Ur music I finally started fixing myself so you helped me an so many more people with your music an i love how you put emotion into every word you sing❤❤❤

I been going through this since I was 12.I’m almost 50 now.this song is exactly how I feel 😢❤

So I turned right crossed the street, still crying. Met 2 young gentleman who listened and the one said, God loves you❤. I blew my nose and got some religious books and courage books. I spent 5 days in the psych ward. ( I checked myself in at the urging of my best friend. Now I'm back at my full-time job and slowly getting my finances in order. Hooked up withrescorces too.

Lyrics: How many nights have you waited for someone to care Thinking dying is what you deserve Like a sad song that no one seems to understand 'Cause some pain is just too much for words No, I don't know your name No, I can't see your face But I've been to that place in the dark So in case you just needed to hear someone say I'm so proud of you for getting this far So if you're feeling like dying No tears left for crying Alone at the edge of a cliff If you're so sick of fighting The monsters you're hiding And wondering if you would be missed You're not the only one that's feeling likе this If you're hearing this song it's a gift A reason to livе A reason to live How many times have you reached out for anyone's hand From the depths of your personal hell? And then counted the ways you could end all your pain 'Cause you're so tired of saving yourself I'm a stranger at best but please don't second guess All the hope that you hear in my voice This is not some cliché, promise you if you stay Someday you'll see that you were well worth that choice So if you're feeling like dying No tears left for crying Alone at the edge of a cliff If you're so sick of fighting The monsters you're hiding And wondering if you would be missed You're not the only one that's feeling like this If you're hearing this song it's a gift What a beautiful truth that a human can choose To become more than just what they feel 'Cause the hell in your head will be nothing compared To the person that it couldn't kill

I literally love this song so much already 🥺😭❤️

*Sheeeeesh!*

Having to take the role of tower of strength.. I rarely have someone who can rebuild me.... And help me keep from falling.... This song is.... Incredible... It somehow makes me feel stronger... Makes me want to push forward with my friends with me.. Thank you Jake.... .your music made me believe again..

you guys are seriously saving lives with your music...I'm so grateful to find you...thank you so much for your hard work and words ❤ be happy and healthy

Ahhhhh yea, new song ❤

I haven't even listened to over a minute of the song, but it's already amazing ❤️❤️❤️

"I know life is hard, but keep going! You nade it this far don't give up! No matter what they say your perfect!" Once a wise person told me this when i was young ❤

Reason to live? Ain't no more. No one's gonna miss me. Give it ur best hope you make it. REMEMBER ITS YOU AGAINST YOU!

I broke down in tears hearing this song... you haven't disappointed in reaching us with your words.

Listened to this with head phones and thought of my hubby, thank you for this beautiful song❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love y'all🫂🫂🫂

I'm currently battling terminal stage 4 bile duct cancer & the song has given me so many reasons "TO LIVE" 🙏 So I thank you from the top of my heart 💜

After going through all of my life full of darkness, suffering and being unwanted, I survived. Even when professionals bring me back after my attempts for me wanting the eternal darkness to end my pain that the only person who keeps me on this planet is my son, I still suffer my dark thoughts but I survive every one and survive every day. This song makes me so emotional that I can feel stronger, making me believe I will survive longer. Thank you for your song.

I don't usually write comments but I wanted to thank you for this song. It made me cry after the first sentences and right now it gives me the feeling of safety? I don't know how to explain it but it's nice to know that I'm not the only one fighting. Furthermore I really needed to hear this song right now I guess haha. To everyone who read this far: I wish you the best and please don't forget that you're not alone. I hope you'll get through whatever you're facing right now because even when I don't know you I think you deserve to be happy. I'm happy that you're still alive and I'm proud of you, I really mean it.

You’re saving my life 😭

I've always been alone. I have tried to reach out but it always fell on deaf ears. I normally never cry but this song broke me. Im glad I found this song. I never knew how badly I needed to hear all that.

For once i feel like i have a reason to live now. This song brought me to tears because i felt like im actually being talked to by someone who understands me.... Thank you for giving me hope, Thank you for saving my life....

Just hearing that "I'm so proud of you for getting this far" had me crying. I didn't know how much I needed to hear that until I did. Thank you so much for all that you do, and the music that you create. It's gotten me through some terrible times, and helped me to hang on to fight another day.

Already crying hearing this, another too good, hard hitting song, keep it up Guys❤. Love it.

I am going through a real difficult period of my life right now, and this song saved me. Your words are what I needed to hear. I really mean that.

This song is truly a gift. I think people rlly need this song. Thank you, Citizen Soldier, for making this song!! Ik it has rlly made my life easier knowing there are others who experience this too. You are a life saver. Keep up the great work! :D P.S: To all of you who think your alone, you aren't! I'm a Christian and I know I'm not alone bc God is with me, and you! He sent a person named Jesus Christ on the cross to save us from the sins we have that make us feel so miserable. He hasn't stopped you from feeling this way, but if you know someone loves you it's all that matters in this dark cold world. Never forget that someone loves you, and I love all of you! Have a blessed day!

You guys have saved me so many times

Been 2-3 years since Cherry Nightcore introduced me to this channel and it's help me alot.

Thank you for saving my life I've been a complete failure to my kids and family for years after Iraq and Afghanistan you gave me a reason to live. I found the greatest woman in the world whose proud to stand by my side. Thank you

Amazing songs as always thanks citizen soldier 💛

Every time I listen to one of your songs, I get amazed at how relatable they are. Your songs come from the heart and go straight to the hearts of whoever listens to them. Another great song right there!💙

Citizen solder gets me more than my own family and friends. Thank you so much citizen solder. Y'all have literally saved my life. Thank you so much.

I've been bawling my eyes out listening to his songs. His songs hit right to the heart of things. I can't tell you the amount of times I've sent a prayer up to the heavens asking for the strength to make it through another day or just for someone to care and listen. 😢😭

Nothing brings the tears like Citizen Soldier’s heartfelt songs. Just hearing these messages of understanding, hope, and strength from someone like Jake who’s been there and done that already means so much to me. “I’m proud of you for getting this far”, right back at you Jake.

I listened to this on the way home. I broke down crying in the middle of the street when I heard "I'm proud of you for getting this far". Thank you so much for all the work you're doing, Citizen Soldier. Much love on you all. ❤

I don't know how much longer I can go is it bad that this is the only thing keeping me alive

Ive been struggling a lot lately and this could not have come at a better time. Im just going to play it on repeat for a bit. Thank you for another beautiful song for my playlists 💜💙

Haven't listen to it yet, but i know its going to be a banger

Citizen soldier have wrote songs the people that have disorders and have experienced trauma that other haven't been through. I love that they have shown a different light on those who gone through so much pain and I can relate to that. Thank you citizen soldier for writing songs that show what other are going through. May god bless your souls.

I feel this on more levels than anyone will ever know. I've been through more than i care to talk about and i never want anyone to feel the way i do. I'm 31 years old and have been through more than most people do in their entire lives. I won't go into any details here, but I've attempted to take my own life several times and have been unsuccessful obviously. I still feel this way, but I'm still here. I'm still fighting, and it's because of songs like this. I've realized I'm here for a reason, especially since I've saved several lives now. My own father's and my now husband's lives. These songs are personal to me on more levels.

I'm crying right now... This just hits so close to home again. I'm so glad I'm able to hear this, to still be here, to have overcome my darkest days... You once again made me realize that it's a good thing I'm still alive and you're giving this feeling to so many more people and for all of your words I'll be forever greatfull ❤ thank you ❤

Amazing as always guys

I was so close to ending it all today. Its been so hard this last month, its like everytime i manage to get to a better place with a support network, life finds a way to throw me right back to that dark place ive begun to consider home, and hearing "im so proud of you for getting this far." Made me breakdown in tears. Thank you Citizen soldier, for continuing to pull me away from the ledge.

"no tears left for crying" so real

Absolute fire as per usual
