This song is heart wrenching. Relationships that are done, but noone has the courage to admit it, or just say it. They hold on as long as they can, but they burn each other. This song is like a piece of art, it can be taken so many different ways, and each way profound and unique.
Why do people say things like that? Umm, pretty sure any sentence ever spoken can be taken more than one way, profound and unique. I agree with what you said though, I'm just nitpicking on a pet peeve.
+Evan Woodske I'm sorry that you are such a nit picker. However, saying "Why do people say things like that" and then saying "I agree with what you said" is a Contradiction. I'm an artist and a musician, I see the world and life in a very unique and profound way, unlike anyone else. I thrive on emotion, and I see the beauty in all things around me. Try being more open minded instead of picking on certain things people say. If they way I use my words irritates you so easily, how do you converse with people on a daily basis?
I just heard this song for the first time toady and had the same reaction. I'm in a toxic relationship that I've tried to walk away from many times, and this song describes it so perfectly, it is heart wrenching and like a slap in the face saying wake up. I don't want to go through life sleepwalking, I want more.
My Father passed yesterday. We had a bad relationship, we were toxic for each other. This song is the only one that comes close to the complicated grief I'm feeling...
I am sorry for your loss.. that is never easy no matter how the relationship was between you. But I have always thought that it is so amazing how deep, and emotional music can be.. and how you can really feel it.. and it is like there is always a song that you can relate to someone you know, or have lost.. or a time in your life.. like something that you have been through.. and no matter who, or what, it was.. or how you felt about it, there will always be that one perfect song that takes you back to that moment, and gives you such a deep feeling of emotions.. it is almost like therapy because that song understands how you felt and everything.. even if know one else does.. and sometimes not even you... I love ❤ music 🎶
This song symbolizes the drug addiction my mom used to have. I so badly as a kid wanted a normal family and I wanted to save my mom from such an addiction. It was hard as a little kid seeing my mom the way she was, but now I'm different and I understand what is important in her life and what's important in my separate life.
Why do you feel the need to lie? You're way to easy to find online posting all your info and your mom isn't an addict and you live with her. Is this how we were in middle school? Wth
My mother is also a drug addict. I grew up as a huge "mama's boy" and just to see her choose a high over me broke my heart. It's been over a decade since and the wounds are still healing. You are not alone in this suffering and I hope we all recover from the recklessness of a slave to a substance.
this song is beautiful... i heard it on country radio for the first time the other day and i just had to turn it up because i hardly knew the song or the singer but it just sounded so good to me. i hope cam makes it big!!
"Try to take what's lost and broken and make it right" when you know the relationship wasn't meant to be but you try to fix it as best you can and work with it but eventually everything fixed breaks again
This song warms my heart when I hear it. My 10 year old daughter plays the guitar and one day she came home from a lesson and made my day wonderful by playing this song. One word that I think of when I hear Cam is hope. She is so talented. I hope you guys enjoy her music to!
I'm a recovering addict and I destroyed a relationship that I was in...I miss her so much most of the time...but things were done by me that ya can't undo...this song breaks my heart everytime I hear it...I hurt her sooo bad and honestly loved her more than anyone I ever loved...the last time we saw each other I messed up again and I know she'll never forgive me for that...she is such a beautiful soul...and mine has been wretched for so many years...
I feel your pain. I did the same thing to the man I truly believed to be the love of my life/soulmate. I still struggle with it every single day. But Im moving on and I learned the LESSONS that were set in stone with the relationship. I know he still loves me. But not the same way he used to. He doesn't want to lose me as a friend but I can't bear not having him as my lover/confidante/soulmate. So we both lose because I took him for granted. I thought he would always be with me, never leave. He's an amazing man and if I didn't destroy him, there might be a woman who gets to experience the same kind of beautiful, undying love he had for me.
Hoping one day i see this comment from " my someone " who has broken my spirit. Im sorry you hurt. But youre on the right track. At least u can admit it. I dont think " HE" ever will. Sending you prayers. Hope u will send me some too.
As a person with sever OCD, depression and anxiety, this song hit home. There are to many people in the world who can't escape their mental illnesses. This was haunting for me.
This song reminds me of my grandma. She died when I was 7 and I miss her and I hope she's safe with Jesus. This song reminds me of her. I think of her when I hear it, it gives me chills and it just makes everything stop. For a few minutes it's just like I'm in a trance I just forget about everything around me and I just listen to the song and I remember her attempting to teach me Yahtzee. I never did learn though. I would just sit there and roll the dice and sit there so confused. Ha ha good times. I'm 12 now I'll be in 7th grade in a week from now. The pain isn't as bad as then, but certain things still remind me of her. Like this song, and birds, she loved birds. I love you Grandma
This song relates to me so much, just because I've been struggling with anxiety for a really long time, and I've made a huge mess of my life, lost some of my friends because of it, been too scared to be in a relationship, or make any commitments at all. When she says The entire chorus just makes me want to cry because it relates so much to me. I want to fix everything that I've done
Abdulmajeed AHM I agree. 99.9% of the stuff on radio today has no substance, shallow stories and just a "lot of words just strung together". This is what a song is supposed to be. Good for her.
I heard this song for the first time on the radio and instantly was drawn towards it. I could feel the lyrics came from the heart and was much more then just another song.
This is me and my husband. Listening now, crying, Bc after 17years together, I know deep down he’s never going to change. We’ve been through it all, and I was always the one who was being manipulated. All The lies, addiction, cheating, false promises, gaslighting, blaming, I just can’t believe it. I’m just crushed. My kids, I feel for them.
I feel ya. I didnt stay, we didnt have kids..I thought everything would level out,,,,30 years later I cant even have a basic friendship. Trust was detonated and pulverized into dust, bit it went beyond romantic relationships, it crept into all friendships, right down to my family, Hold on kiddo, you got your kids, You dont want to sit alone in an empty house for 30 years
Wow I don't know where to begin to express my thoughts on this song ....I had a house fire on January 12 2015 my mother was trapped and didn't make it out I buried her 3 days later ....afterwards I went back to the house and stood where she was found wishing that I could have been there to hold her and tell her that it was going to be alright that I was there to protect her. Its been a long hard road and not a day goes by that I don't think of her
I love this song so much! I listen to it every night when I’m getting ready to go to bed! @cam I know you haven’t had the easiest or best career but this song is something special always remember what you have done for others the impact you’ve made! Thank you if you even see this!
I heard this song at a concert of hers in California and she explained to us that the boy she's singing about was an "on again, off again" college sweetheart that she had a bittersweet feeling about seeing him and the night befor she was gunna see him at a party she had dream about him trapped and then she produced an amazing song from it, pure talent
its about a guy that she song wrong to and she was figuring out how to aplogise , and hat night she had a dream of the burning house and then she got the idea for the song
This song brings me to tears everytime I hear it. Right now I'm in a relationship that isn't working. I keep getting lied to and cheated. And although I know better, I've stayed. Listening to this I understand, I feel trapped inside, I want to get out but I know inside I can hold onto the love that was once there. I'm not happy, I'm sleepwalking through it all. Such a beautiful tragic song. Only one that's ever truly spoken to me and brought me to tears. I hope she makes it big, but keeps her own style.
going through the same thing. you bear the fire to be able to keep holding them even when it's bad. this is the one and only song I know that hits the nail on the head about the bad situation. I hope you get through it
I've lost my grandfather back in May, and this soothes me. This song is so soft, and the singer sings incredibly. I love the tone, and the tune. I can't stop replaying this.
One of my friends cousins burnt up in their house. It was in the early hours of the morning the husband had gotten up and headed outside to work on their farm a bit later he seen smoke coming from the house and knowing his wife was in there he ran towards the house and ran in to try and save her. They found their remains in a hallway where it seemed they were holding onto each other. That is True Love. It makes me want to cry knowing that he burnt up with her because he loved her so much. 😔
There were witnesses to him running in the house to try and save her. It's odd that at the same time there were buildings on fire in downtown Marietta. The fire department couldn't respond in time to help. Very sad.
one of my friends little brother and sister passed away in a burning house. didn't know them well but still knew them. me and that friend cry together every now and then. especially when people bring it up. so this song means a lot so every time I'm listening to it he's right beside me so we can cry together like we do every where else. it's an amazing song. and it's sung amazingly.
I never knew my great grandma because she died in a fire before I was born. She was a singer. I never heard any off her songs, but I've heard a song about her. I wish I could have met you. You're safe in heaven..
This is for Chris. He was Judah’s daddy and my husband. We lost him from a heroin addiction. I know we both listened to this when we were only dating. I knew what he struggled with, but had no idea what *I* was up against. I’d rather fight with you than be with anybody else. Love you babe.
My house burned down about a week ago, and I heard this song right after.. It's so good and brings back so many memories. She has such a beautiful voice.
This was one of the last things I ever sent to my boyfriend. He has since committed suicide and I keep listening to this song as a way to be close to him.
2 years later and I continue to listen to be close to you JR. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Not a day goes by my heart isn't cripplingly heavy. Please RIP my love.
This came up as an ad before a music video I meant to watch... I completely froze, and let this entire song run. Typically ads don't do much for me, but this music really caught my attention. There is something rather beautiful about this, but haunting just the same. I won't forget this one.
I first heard this song on the radio after my ex wife dumped me. I was driving around at night feeling dead inside and that first riff hit me like a ton of bricks right away. Its a perfect note to start the song. This song is art.
i lost my house and my beautiful cat to a house fire. this song makes me feel close to him. “i had a dream about a burning house. you were stuck inside i couldn’t get you out. laid beside you and pulled you close. and the 2 of us went up in smoke” i’ll miss and love you forever, George. i’m so sorry i couldn’t save you.
I heard this song for the first time a couple of weeks ago and I feel like it describes my depression and the way me and my husband are slowly destroying each other and our marriage.
Exactly how I feel about this song. Me and my wife have been on cruise control for almost 10 years and I've just recently decided to do something about it. Reflecting back, the signs were written on the walls long ago. We've grown so far apart that resentment and blame has started to creep in. No divorce is ever easy, but I'm hoping for a civil one so we can both be a better parent to our 15 year old daughter.
I had a dream about a burning house You were stuck inside I couldn't get you out I lay beside you and pulled you close And the two of us went up in smoke Love isn't all that it seems I did you wrong I'll stay here with you Until this dream is gone I've been sleepwalking Been wondering all night Trying to take what's lost and broke And make it right I've been sleepwalking Too close to the fire But it's the only place that I can hold you tight In this burning house I see you at a party and you look the same I could take you back But people don't really change Wish that we could go back in time I'd be the one you thought you'd find Love isn't all that it seems I did you wrong I'll stay here with you Till this dream is gone I've been sleepwalking Been wondering all night Trying to take what's lost and broke And make it right I've been sleepwalking Too close to the fire But it's the only place that I can hold you tight In this burning house Flames are getting bigger now In this burning house I can hold on to you somehow In this burning house Oh and I don't wanna wake up In this burning house And I've been sleepwalking Been wandering all night Trying to take what's lost and broke And make it right I've been sleep walking Too close to the fire But it's the only place that I can hold you tight In this burning house
Since you've been gone, Ive been sleep walking thru my life for the past 5 years... I hope someday i can find this burning house so i can just lay down next to you, stay there forever, and never wake up...
My dad committed suicide in August of 2012, he was facing a lot of emotional issues and I had moved to a different state with a boyfriend and the last time I physically saw my dad I told him I hated him. Not long after his death my boyfriend at that time fell into a heroin addiction (he started off with pain pills). We broke up when he went into intensive inpatient rehab. This song came out a few years later but the first time I heard it, I bawled. It’s been 5 years since it came out, I’m married to another man, have two wonderful boys and stumbled upon this skimming RU-vid and figured it’d been a long time.... I was bawling again by the first chorus. This and “May Day” put me right back in that suffocating feeling of the year 2012.
I know this a long time since you wrote this, but I wanted to respond. We all have issues, I think, with some family, friends. I'm sorry it was with your dad, mine was my mom. I still loved my folks, did the best I could. Guess what I'm saying, is quit beating yourself up over it. It doesn't help what you are living now. I know it's in the back of your mind, always, but it hurts your life today. Sounds like you made a new and great life for yourself. Don't let the issues from your past creep into now, and ruin things. It's easy to do. God bless you and your NOW family! All my best to you, hope you are doing okay.
@@jeannesmith1141 thank you for the kind words! My husband and I now have three boys and have been so blessed and are raising our family with so much love and while the pain of the loss is still there, it doesn’t rule my life. I’ve come to a lot of terms and am able to look at todays and tomorrows without the pull of the yesterdays. Thank you again 💜
@@sabrinalee3077 Thank you for your reply. It's great that you are doing well, and have a wonderful family. Enjoy every day with your boys, they are grown before you know it!!!
I like few country songs, but this song is a beautiful rose growing out of the pavement. Very beautiful performance. Im not one to cry, even at funerals, but this song let me look inwards and it made my eyes water. Bravo
I love this song makes me cry every time I have depression and anxiety my relationship I feel like he can't stand me anymore bc of that and this is one of my longest relationship ever and I can't lose him I love him
My nana died in her room in the floor she just laid there a suffering and she started coughing up blood I was 11 now I feel so empty inside bc a few months before my mama committed suicide😭😪
One of the first times I heard this song was right after my grandma passed away. This song makes me cry every time but I love it and can't stop listening to it❤️
Heard this song today and was completely in love with the guitar intro, and then the lyrics hit with such substance it sets chills down the spine. Listen to it over and over, this is no odinary song. This is real music.
My mom and dad divorced just this past year because he was discovered to be cheating for 6+ years and this song feels like it was made for my mom because my father had horrible drinking and anger issues but would come sobbing with regret after every incident, and my mother held out for so so long. She truly loved him and us and tried her darndest to make it work but in the end, she divorced and we are all healing now. This song reminds me of my mother and her fighting to stay strong inside a crumbling household and coming out the other end alive. ❤❤❤
This song was an excellent interpretation for the very unhealthy relationship I was in with my son's father. The house being the drugs he wouldn't, couldn't get away from. The only way I could be with him and try to give our son the united family I didn't gave growing up was to walk into that house over and over. Next month will be two years since his father's passing.
First heard this when Emily Ann sang it at the Voice Finale. Not a huge fan of hers or of country in general, but this was a spot-on song choice by Team Blake. The little flips and the time changes add a folksy flavor, and ending the chorus on the seventh of the minor key adds a haunting unfinished quality to it. Beautiful song.
I have an abusive grandmother, shes abused my uncle, my mother, and me. And all of the sposes shes had. This song reminds me of how my mom protected me from her all she could, she worked and worked hard, it took a big toll on her and her mental state, but she helped me, and she still is to this day. I love you mom.
Your story reminds me of me and my daughter in my son they're both eight years apart my my daughter is now 19 and she understands everything that went on then and she understands everything that needs to go on now with her life and mine and her she's a very high-spirited in very street-smart and you kind of need that more than educational anymore because of how dangerous and bad the world is anymore but there is still a lot of good out there you just got to find it bless you for sharing the story much appreciated you're probably a real special person inside
This song hits home so much. I had the most perfect relationship with the most amazing woman and I screwed it up and lost her forever. Now all I have is heartbreak and dreams. I lose it when I hear Cam say she wished she could go back and do things differently. So do I.
This song really hit home for me. I have severe trust issues and anxiety, and I get bullied daily at school. I learned the hard way that no one will ever truly be by your side forever when I was in 2nd grade.
this song reminds me of someone that is very special to me , his drug addiction is spiraling out of control fast,and nothing i say or do seems to help!! i love him and always will♡
This sounds arrangement reminds of "Safe and Sound" by Taylor Swift. A lot of songs actually have the same arrangement I just was wondering if it was the same. But it's beautiful song, and I can't stop listening to it. :D
3 of my friends along with their sister and mom died in the house fire, one night while sleeping back in 2005. The 3 year old nephew and father survived. Went to school that day in a good mood till i walked in the hallways seeing friends crying wondering whats going on, no one could say a word or tell me what happened due to being so heart broken after hearing the tragedy. I was speechless after hearing it, broke down for a couple hours, skipped class and walked to their house with my friends to see the aftermath, what pissed me off was the news reporters kept trying to interview the father, like fuck he just lost his family leave the dude alone. We havent heard from the father 2 years after this, hopefully hes doing good. R.I.P Thatch's, never forgotten 🌹✌
I have loved this song since it was first released. I've known all the words for many years. And it was today March 8, 2024 on a drive home from work that I realized I lived this song for years and began to break down. You see I got divorced in January 2023 after 12 years. And this song fit my life in this moment perfectly. I am a firm beleiver that music heals what nothing else can reach. Thank you so much Cam for releasing this song. ❤-Texas
The melody that she sings this song in is oh so familiar, I just can't put my finger on it though. Anyway, this song is like many have said...hauntingly beautiful.
I love this song. my all time favorite. I love how soothing her voice is. Brings back so many memories of me & the man I used to love. Big support to Cam keep doing what you do ❤
This song really hits home with me, I dedicated it to my wife who's asking for a divorce. Despite trying to do anything within my power to keep our marriage together she's just done, and this song I really feel like I can relate to.
The meaning of this song makes me think of a broken relationship and holding on to a broken person no matter what trouble surrounds you and your going down in flames but there's no way to pull them from their fire (addiction, lifestyle, mental illness, PTSD or other things that surround them with no good outcome) and you realize that in all of the pain and hurt that they will go down in the ship and you need to wake up and get out before you get sacked into that same fire.
