This song means so much to me. I had a hard life in and out of prison and jail most of my life. Drinking and popping pills. I'm glad to say I have two years sober and out of trouble. Life keeps getting better!!!!!#
Sorry for your loss Randy.. Life's never as fair as I hope for us all but it's the mystery of what's to come that drives me to wake up tomorrow. My thoughts are with you, sir
I've said it before and I'll say it again but you haven't truly heard this song until you've heard Aaron Lewis sing it. I can actually feel the emotion in every word.
Amen Its like Alice in chains Nutshell, when you listen to Upchurch sing it, you understand its the method in which its sang that makes it stand out :)
My dad loved this song. He’d listen to it as he drank and thought about my uncle that passed away when he was only 18. I found my father passed away at his house on November 11th of last year and I’ll never be the same without him. This song makes me so sad that he’s not here but it makes me feel like I’m sitting across the table from him sharing a drink again. I love you, dad. I always will.
This just Hit me SO HARD. Rip to pops. I’ve lost everyone and never had a thing. I’m as lost as as sheep. The only way I know to service is in prison….. idk what to do. I have a son that needs me. I’m so fucking scared though….. just keep going until there is no more I guess.
I’ve seen him solo acoustic like 4x always loved it and that was even before he officially went country. But u know even at those shows now his background band takes occasional breaks to let him do staind songs alone old school style
I much prefer his acoustic over any other version played. You can connect to the rawness of emotion more because you can hear the emotion in the music more.
I love the Rascal Flatts version, but Aaron Lewis makes this song sound like he's telling you a personal experience more than it being a song. Absolutely awesome
@@Keyc94incase you haven't had enough yet, it's like saying I like Disturbs version of Sound Of Silence more than I like Simon & Garfunkles version. Regardless of who wrote the song. Understand yet?
This song is amazing. Aaron Lewis does it right!! After 18 years of addiction, being locked up and homeless, I finally have a almost 3 years sober, a beautiful wife and three beautiful daughters. Can’t wait to see what life continues to bless me With!! 🙏🏼
Good for you bro! Same here, jail for the last 10+ years but I’m sober and have a gf I love w all my heart! It couldn’t be any better than it is right now! I’m glad things are well for you brother
My ex husband would listen to this everyday and at the time I was selfish and didn’t even see his pain. To this day when I hear this I just want to text him I’m so sorry. We divorced and now I can feel his pain then. Regret is harder than anything to get past.
To my adored son; Losing you took the roar out of my lion heart, the sun out of my sky...I am not capable of understanding why you were taken away so young, I cannot express to the universe enough how meaningful, amazing and good you were, now everyday is cruel...it’s brutal, your absence is like an elephant on my chest...I miss you, Oh god, I miss you so much! I have accepted life gets no better than the 20 amazing years, I was blessed with you. I promise to honor your life and one day sweet boy, I will hold you again...I know you are with me because I wouldn’t still be here if you weren’t. Lifetimes of Love...Mom💔 •Kyle David StrIckland• 6/17/97~1/21/18
mr.lewis I don't care what the country music industry say's you are the best singer I've ever heard sing country or rock, you keep doing what you do the best my friend. I was deployed three times to Iraq and your music your voice got me through alot of shit, so thank you mr.lewis for being there next to me when I was in some deep shit.
Robert Mata. Right on Brother Thanks for your service its because of people like you that i get too come home too my family every Day much Respect an love for anyone that fights for are freedom Sooo Thanks is just not enough but Thanks
What hurts the most is everyone getting into my business and costing me the mother of my child Now that's sheer pain inside my soul. But this song helps heal me from some of the pain. CongrAts to a brilliant rendition and an incredible ability to make heartbreak to feel so real. Complete empathy, aaron
One of the worst feelings in the world, being in love with someone you want to give the world, but they don't want it from you. This song speaks my pain
Trust me brother. I was in the same boat. As hard as it seems. God was protecting you from even worse pain. Your going to find the one as soon as you stop looking. Godbless my friend. I wish you all the best on your journey through life 🤝
@@PsychedelicValidity appreciate the words of wisdom brother. Hard to accept she wasn't the one. This year is really beating me down. I lost that woman, and I just lost my mom to ovarian cancer., But happy holidays man tryna keep going. Ready for 2022 to end.
Wow thank you for posting this. I honestly didn't know that's what the song was about. But I know that feeling all too well. My boyfriend committed suicide 3 years ago. I found him in my driveway. He always apologized for not being able to luv me the way he wanted too and I deserved. God I miss him so much. At least he's no longer suffering. I am....
This song is a pledge to say i quit drinking 15 years ago along with my wife help she taught how too love again taught me i can love again too my wife for always❤❤
My dad taught me young to sing with your whole voice. It was my favorite thing to do with my pops. He died suddenly April 21st 2022, it still doesn't feel real. This was our favorite song to sing out in the boat where we could be herd for miles. Forever my favorite song. R.I.P. DAD
Rest In Peace🙏🤞 sounds to me like he needs you to sing twice as loud and twice as hard, enough for him too brotha!!!! Soon or years down the road, you'll take you're boy out on the water, you're pops and this song will come to mind, you'll play it for you're boy and for pops, sing you're ass off and give you're son the same heartwarming moment to hold onto forever 💙🎣🐟 I pray that instead of sadness and tears, this song brings a smile to you're face every time you hear it!! And a thought of appreciation that you have that moment and memory to hold and cherish forever!!! Stay up brother, fish on🙏💪🤟🤙
This song haunts me. 52 today and surrounded by demons of my past. Watching both my parents dying of cancer. This song helps me stay sober. 13 years now. Thank you Aaron from Eren
My Brother, God can take away those demons. But you have to ask him too because he doesn’t force anyone to come to him. You have to ask. I will pray you do💜✝️🙏
Great cover of this song. Makes me think of my little sister who passed away this past April. She was only 27 and I feel guilt and regret that she's gone. I wish I could have done something to prevent it. Wish I could see her again... It comes in waves.
every single sad moment in my life comes up. Memories. Life changing situations that u overcome and barely make it thru Heartbreak. Loss. Life's lessons I was just trying............
I lost my oldest daughter in 2018. This song has taught me that it is ok to cry about something you think you should be over. Life is to short everybody. Believe me, I had to leave my hometown because of the faces constantly reminding me. Almost killed me. Living your life for the ones you’ve lost will help you along the way. Stay strong!!!!
Hi I can relate my best friend mother sweet mama had to to the same face's I believe to be true yes amen I feel lost loved are helping along the way **take care
Trinidad Perez No the woman I put on a pedestal took everything away my heart my soul I'm empty I need her but she'll never be able to understand do what she dod
When you lose someone so close to you and your so hurt, angry, confused and your questions are never answered, the only place to find solace is in songs like this. It gives me peace and a reason to carry on there memory.
@@aliciahopkins9686 so true and worse you can't even express or tell your side be it from the heart or something you've been holding in or protecting them or both, repeatedly trying to assure them you get it, and okay with it or feel it's not that serious at least not enough to hurt and give up.....
Peep out Travis Tritt / Tell me I was dreaming.. Right up the alley in terms of what you describing. God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving to all my brothers and sisters in this World.
Going through a rough break up myself currently. My own fault for letting my own issues destroy it. But I know things needed to change. Just didn't change the way I would have hoped.
Scarlette Baudelaire Whatever you are going trough. I hope you will come out of it. I’m a guy..the reason I say that is because they say guys are heartless it’s not true. I wish you well. I am a spiritual man also.Peace be with you.

Anyone here September 2019? I still listen to this late at night. Edit: I'm glad there are so many of Aaron's fans who will probably listen to this for ever
This song has a lot of lyrics that make me feel like you are talking about me. My wife left me after 5 years of taking care of her father after he passed away, we were married for 37 years
I lost my 20 yr old son this year. I played this song at his funeral and not a day goes by that I don't think of this song and how strong it's touched me
I’ve lost my dad, my mum and have lost friends to murder, suicide and sudden adult death syndrome.. Yet when I hear this song, the only person I can think about is my fiancé. The thought of losing her in whatever way absolutely kills me. She saved me and gave my life purpose. Without her I’d likely crumble and fall back into the pit that she pulled me out of
2020 still listening to Staind, and love both his rock and country, just love his soul. Aaron Lewis is a legend and helps take me away from this crazy world and how it’s changed. Brings me to a better place, or gives me the feels. Thank you for being a great musician. Few and far between these days
Stephen baby you are my everything my phone is off I will send it to you when I get back home to give you the heads on that day I have been to the doctor to get it done by Friday if you're still up in the air right togive methanks you too love me a price for you guys to come to the meeting tonight at 3#kmk me know when I can expect to give you a little kiss and hug you so you can see it on the new job and I have a price for flight to the new email Lady 121889@yahoo.com
Don't give up on him. I'm 7 months clean today and wouldn't be where I'm at if it wasn't for having my little brother by my side. He's going on 2 years clean and always looked up to me growing up... For the first time in our lives the shoe was on the other foot. I always fought his fights growing up, nobody messed with my brother without going through me. When I was losing my own battle and knocking on deaths door, my brother was there for me. Nobody could connect with me the way he did.
@@thejengels8455 congrats that's hard to do. Hold your head high and love everyday like it's your last, take no one for granted and work the program you have for yourself. So proud to hear this from anyone 🤗

Life is complicated and filled with darkness. Moments and memories that fade away. Family and loved ones will come and go. No matter how sad you may be today, life can feel better by the next day may we all find peace and happiness for we are here to stay together with the help of god please I beg you all to believe and and pray 🙏 ❤️🩹
To my dog Rosie, You were there for me every day. You were the reason I didn’t kill myself a couple years ago. Ive had you my whole life and you were the first friend I ever had. A part of me died when you had to leave me but I know you and God are watching over me every day. I will always love you
My dog passed away 4 months ago. Had her on a leash while I was out getting groceries so she could get some sun. She hopped the fence and hung herself. I came home and she was just hanging there. This dog was the only reason I never killed myself when I was younger. Had her for 6 years almost. I was 15 when I got her and she passed away when I was 21. She changed me as if she was my daughter. She understood me like no else ever has, but I know she's in a better place right now. It kills me because she was a true fighter. A true solider. She went into a septic shock because of phantom pregnancy and survived. I spent more than 3 grand making sure that she could have the fighting chance, and she chose to live. I'm so thankful for her presence in my younger years. I don't think this dog truly understands just how much I love her. My baby girl always and forever.
I can’t even describe the level of emotions that run through my soul when I hear this man cover this song, let alone, his own songs. He is so raw in an acoustic setting. Gold!
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house That don't bother me I can take a few tears now and then, and just let 'em out I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while even though Going on with you gone still upsets me There are days every now and again I pretend I'm okay But that's not what gets me What hurts the most Was being so close And having so much to say And watching you walk away And never knowing What could've been And not seeing that love in you Is what I was trying to do It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go But I'm doing it It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends And I'm alone Still harder getting up, getting dressed, living with this regret But I know if I could do it over I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart That I left unspoken What hurts the most Is being so close And having so much to say (much to say) And watching you walk away And never knowing What could've been And not seeing that love in you Is what I was trying to do Oh Hey, yeah What hurts the most Was being so close And having so much to say (much to say) And watching you walk away And never knowing What could've been And not seeing that love in you Is what I was trying to do Not seeing that love in you That's what I was trying to do Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
This is an absolutely beautifully amazing cover song Aaron did. So flawless. First time I've heard this and I've been a fan for years. He doesn't get enough deserved credit/recognition for the talented artist he truly is
when my dad passed away this was the song that brought me the most comfort. it brought out the most tears as well… but crying is the mind’s way of healing. I miss you so much dad, these lyrics hit my heart in the biggest way… I will see you again 😢❤️🩹
I know this is supposed to be a song about not being able to stop and fix things as someone walks out of your life buy I always heard it differently and thought maybe I was the only that heard it the way I hear it .. but I was crying before I read your comment because I was thinking about how the "seeing you walking away " to me was watching my dad die and walk out of life while I could do nothing no matter how hard I tried . He was made a ward of the state because his wife wanted to let him die and not have his social security go to a nursing home where I was recovering so she put him on hospice against doctors recommendation so she could take him out of the to die. I deove from 5 states away and stopped her and got him into hospice wing of a great hospital and fought to become his gaurdain with the support of my and his family, his doctors, with letters of recommendation from sitting judges , aldermen, police officers active and retired, and a slough of others. "BUT WHAT HURTS THE MOST" is because his wife knew of something that was on my record from long ago all she had to do was mention it in court room and the judge made him a ward of the state so she couldn't kill him and she since the judge believed I wasn't really there for my father's best interest ( which anyone that knows me knows I was, he was my best friend not just my father) being she put him on hospice they would do nothing for him in any way of recovery . Only help him die slowly and comfortably . " no matter how close I was " there nothing I could say or do to stop him from walking away from us . So I lived in a recliner in his nursing home room for a couple months protecting him from the worst kind of care you could imagine as " I watched him walk way " even though my heart was true " and I just wanted to see that love" in him that he had for everyone he knew and had for life itself. Hearing the anguish in Aaron Lewis's voice when he sings this song almost resembles the anguish I felt going through this and still years later knowing the maybe had I not made one mistake in my past that many many of us have done and ended up with a record I might have been able " to have known what to say " instead of being forced to "just watch him walk away . " Never have I had a song touch me like this song preformed by Aaron Lewis has. It tares me apart but heals me as well. Tonight I tried to explain i hear this song and how it effects me and I couldn't because I got choke up and could utter another word so I came home and listened to it and then seen your comment and didn't feel alone with my tears or feel alone in the way I hear this song . For what's worth, thanks
I miss my dad every second of the day. I wake up and think it's a bad dream but I remember it's not, he really is gone and I can't do anything but keep moving. R.I.P. dad, I love you.
I'm sorry for your loss, I lost mine 8 yrs ago then 2015 I found my momma dead 20 minutes later after I checked on her, u c I moved her in with me so I could take care of her..God bless you, ik your pain 🙏
I really know what you go through I just lost my mom I keep saying it's a bad dream but it's not it's really real I love my mom and I really miss her really bad she passed she passed on January 6th 2021 rest in peace Mom I love you think about you everyday you are up there with my son and my grandmother watch my boy love and miss all you guys 🌷💯💙💙💜🐬🐬😭👀
Brings back the memory of my first true love, lost her in 2001 with my at the time unborn son, he was taken at the hospital and lived 10 minutes before passing. Lost my dad this yr on the same day, 21 yrs later. This song eats me up but helps remind me what true love felt like.
Loving someone your whole life and not saying a word, that is love. Being so close and having so much to say but watching them walk away. Words are just words. That's pain. That's love.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom in 2003 and there are still days that my heart still feels as broken as the day she left. It does get easier to get through those moments of grief though, but it always hurts. My heart goes out to you for the grief that lies ahead of you
@@sunnidavis195 years later i still come home and expect her to be their and when i walk in the door i still say "im home!"... only to get crickets....
Aww losing a mom is extreme pain. I was 14 when she passed and I am now 52. You will be blessed 💞 Just focus on the good times 💗 no one can tell you it's going to be ok, just focus on you. I just lost my bf to liver failure February 9th, 2021 he was 45. Just focus on you and pray to God for your good soul to heal as I do also. ❤️❤️
My ex-husband and father of my children sent me this in a message, and I still hurt about not really wanting to leave him alone in this world but not really having a choice.
Lost a nephew last week he succumbed to his addictions, we grew up like brothers since he was only a few months older than me. I feel so guilty that I couldn't do more to save him and make sure he felt enough love to fight his demons. But the line, "not seeing that loving you was what I was trying to do" hits so hard because no matter how much he struggled i would've loved him regardless. Sorry for the rant I have no one else to tell this to
I lost the love of my life due to my stubbornness & unwillingness to compromise or show what I truly felt in my heart. She was my best friend, partner in crime, my better half. I'll never love like that again.
My grandpa passed away in July 2009, I had to work that day... I got to work, and explained the situation that he was on his deathbed, and I was given permission to leave... I was on my way out to the parking lot to leave..... and I got a text from my brother saying that PawPaw just died...... I don't think I cried that deeply before in my life... right there in front of my co workers and customers............... RIP PawPaw... I'm sorry I wasn't fast enough to make it in time to say my last words to you.... I love you very much and I know you're looking down on me...
I lost my wife a year ago and I guess I had never really experienced true heartache until she was gone. I guess its the finality of death that hurts so bad. I always listen to this song when I need to cry and hearing the pain in his voice helps me cope. I miss you mushy. Rest peacefully my love and I will see you soon.
I was a broken heroine addict for most my life. This song always brings me back to some hard days. My last day of using a laid in the floor playing this over and over crying
To all those still sick and suffering. I pray u find a solution. Song hits home. I hope nobody else dies from addiction and has me also think of them every time i hear this song. Thank you aaron lewis. Ur voice is sooooo powerful. God bless everyone

Well Rascal Flats is the ones who made it famous. And yeah I did. People would be shocked at how many country songs are covers of old country songs or other artists.
I always come back to RU-vid to listen to this song .. amazing rendition. Aaron makes this song sound like he’s speaking directly to me personally, and everyone who listens. Praying for the day I can get this on Spotify so I can jam it all the time.

This reminds me of someone who I really loved. We broke up when he relapsed and started to do drugs again. We were patching things up a little, and rebuilding a friendship, and he died in a car accident shortly after sobering up again. He was the one, and I knew it right away. He introduced me to this song, and it will always make me ache for him. Damn, how I loved him.
I’m losing my dad to cancer. He has weeks left. I have to handle it all. I don’t know if I can do this but I have to. This song helps describe so many of the emotions I feel now and will be soon. I love you so much dad. The pain of losing you hurts everywhere I go, but I’m doing it. I hope I can get you home before it’s too late.
My father had cancer choose to not do treatment which at 82 I wouldn’t either, but my son passed of a overdose 2017 my father died 6 months later of a broken heart, he was at home with hospice help, two days before he passed he would tell me my son came at night to sleep with him…. My mother lasted 2 years and I don’t know how I did it and still don’t know 😪 your father is with you always
I broke up with my then girlfriend (now fiancé) back in 17’.. I randomly found this song that day and it literally shredded me to pieces.. I could never imagine leaving her again.. the pain I felt was excruciating and I never want to feel that ever again.. and I never want this song to mean so much to me like it did then, so thanks Aaron.. I hope you read this someday and know you saved my life.
"Still harder gettin' up, gettin' dressed, livin' with this regret But I know if I could do it over I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart That I left unspoken" thinking of you everyday..
To all the people who disliked this song y'all have no hearts!! This should hit anyone who has ever lived hardl. I just lost my brother in law and wish I could've been there for him. Just when he needed to talk. He really didn't have anyone else.
Everybody's comments are too the tee seeing all of the hurt that everyone has said hurts me I never got too tell my Dad this because he passed away while I was in prison if I tell you about My past is that I don't want you to feel sorry for me that's why I am who I am wish I could have told him that Aaron Lewis is the real deal you bring out people's souls and heart keep rocking brother your a legend 💀
The most beautiful and important woman in my life has decided she cannot be with me anymore. This sums it up for me right now in the world. She took the best part of me when she left me.
While going through the breakup of an 8 year relationship, I first discovered this song. It hit every feel, and to this day still makes me wistful and reflective. I've never heard the original, because I don't have to. This is the one. This is his song now.
This song touches my heart more as a young girl losing her daddy. I relate as being a 3rd grader in the early 80's and being a victim of divorce. Then watching my father have a new family, and seeing their accomplishments, the love they all have etc and then there"s the original 3 daughters that are just there, not really part of that family, and not part of the step family we were raised in. Just there as lost souls
When you meet someone the feelings that made you fall in love with them never fades 😭 We just learn to live with the fact the mask fell off and they want the person we thought
After 20 years with the the woman I thought I’d be with till I died, came home to find out she left and moved in with another man. Hurt, but I went to otr trucker school and said fuck her!!
