The fact that this was a unreleased song and has had over 20 million views no promotion no radio play just shows how talented Cher is and how big this song could of beeen can’t believe they didn’t make this a single
❤ to all the kids who were singing this with their whole heart from 10-12 because they related to it heavily. We went through some shit kids should never have to face, but we made it through.
For me,this is very sad song. I've been listening this song when I was in awful situation,and it change my life. I really love this song,and it reminds me on "old happy days" in my life. Thank you Cher for this amazing song.
Make sure you find someone that loves you for you. You shouldn't have to twerk, be half naked in half of your pictures to get a guy's attention. You should get his attention by how amazing your personality is...It just honestly bother me, when I see girls disrespect their body. You are all beautiful, just love yourself, no matter what flaws you have, because their what make you beautiful. Guys...You shouldn't act different when your with your friends, just be you.. If people can't love you, just let them go and let them realize what that lost was a diamond...
+Kristy G I agree with everything you said. I like this guy but he dose not like me for me he looks at me for what I look like this really helped thanks
I remember in 7th grade I had three best friends.One I knew since's second grade,another from fourth and the last one from sixth.I loved them,told them everything,dedicated songs to them,and sang to one of them when she was down(the one from second grade).But then something changed.One offended me by my meditcation,another called me annoying and weird,and the last one told me to go kill my self.And I almost did.But I didn't because even though I was in pain and bullied by those so called "friends", I kept going on with my life.Now I'm in high school and I made new friends.And though I'm still hurting,I'm getting stronger each day.And I don't hate them because they taught me that people have to earn my trust by showing me that they are really trying to be my friend and they really want to be there for me.For those of you who are hurting "Stay Strong And Keep Moving On"
Its so great that you kept going! It cheers me up:) ( of course not that they bullied you etc) I'm about to stop pretending, but I'm not sure who i can trust:(
astrid k. Well, in my opinion, I think that if you really be yourself, you should trust the people who like and accepts you for you.Remember that everyones gonna judge and that is how society is, but not everyone is like that.And I can tell you honestly,If I were to meet you and know you, the Real you, you must be an amazing person :) . I hope this helps you a little at least.
thanks, it actually helps a lot:) and even if I don't know you, I think youre a wondrful person and I'm happy that you have real friends now:) I'll try and be myself too:)
YUP YOU CANT TRUST NO ONE & YOU CANT EVEN TRUST FAMILY OR YOUR BEST FRIENDS FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE BACKSTABBERS. THERES ALWAYS GONNA BE SOMEONE THATS GONNA PUT YOU DOWN. JUST KEEP YOUR HEAD UP DONT LET NO ONE PUT YOU DOWN IF THEY DO JUST GET BACK UP AND PUT A SMILE ON WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND LIKE MY GIRL DAVINA SAYS #OnlyTheStrongSurvive #KeepingItReal 💯👌 #OnSomeReal #OnPoint
This goes out to everyone who only see's my happiness and never saw right through it. The people who did see and after that... Left. You guys are the reasons I'm afraid to trust yet keep on doing it.
i was the most hated girl in my school no one liked me until i became friends with my best friend (shes still my friend today and i met her 8th grade and im a junior now) her friends took me in and i found someone i could finally trust, this song helped me get through some tough times but ultimately became something i depend on when the going gets tough
+Samantha Sanzon yeah my 11 year old did the same thing its crazy that you can't trust the person then when you meet them your like oh wow this person Is trustful and respectful and nice
When the song says I've lost a friend before it hurts my feelings. I lost my best friend we were together for four years, we used to spend a lot of time together. I knew all about him, his likes and dislikes. Several months ago we knew a good girl and she started to be with us, she is a nice person so he felt better with her than with me. I don't have any problem with it 'cause if someone don't want to be with me I can't do anything but I think he was hardest with me. One day I called him and he told me he was bored out of me and that hurt my heart. We aren't a teenagers we are 20 years old but now I only know one important thing he never was a real friend. He will always be a special person in my memories and I sure I'm not interested to be his best friend anymore.
i understand buddy my best friend just dumped me recently for like no reason,nd i asked her like "did u just use me nd threw me in the dust bin?" nd she said "yes" it hit me like knife through my stomach...it still does,we were together for like 7 yrs...i thought it was forever but uk wat..no matter how close u are to each other..they eventually leave u in the pit..
I luv this song. It describes my life perfectly. I always have to pretend to be something I'm not and I have to act different around so many people in order to not be judged.
This song just describes my life, or maybe anyone else's life perfectly. You try to be better and perfect but still being yourself then another will just completely just tear you down in anyway because you aren't them.
Amazing how this unofficial video has almost 20M of views... While the official Sirens music video by Cher hasn't reached that number... I hope that she gets more fame with her upcoming single!
I just want to say that its been a year and 4 months since i posted my comment that melted my heart. Thanks so much for all the people who helped me through my disaster life and made me into a social butterfly
This song speaks so much to me :( Especially this line: "I've been trying, trying, holding my head up high. I've been lying, lying, keeping it all inside. Trying not to trust you, yeah. Take another leaf, I'm broke yeah, yeah." ~Confessions of an 11-year-old
Everyone is sharing their personal life stories and challenges on this video and the advice they have for everyone and I'm just like, "cool song I like cake"
I Love this song!!!... its somehow related to my life... I love the lyrics.. I hear this song everytime when I have a fight with my friend or my crush.... this song is so close to my heart... I remember the day I fought with someone I really liked...he was a friend, a crush he was my happy sunshine I would wait for my phone to bleep with his message :') he was my everything but all he did was hurt me... I remember myself that night listening to this song crying on my pillow... I love Cher for making this song..:')
Aww hun, don't say that,there just jealous of who you are, Don't let them get to you, your much better than you think you are, I know im just a 8 year old girl but,it doesn't mean I don't know what friendship is, Stand up to them, Be the stronger person, No matter what they say, your perfect the way you are :)
Scarlet Marshall Aw. :( You don't deserve that at all. You seem like such a sweet person. It'll all get better for you, I'm 200% sure theres someone out there who will like you for you. Just keep that positive mindset you have. :)
So when I entered 6th grade I didn't know anyone but I insantly became best friends with this girl. In 7th (this year) I start hanging out with other ppl because my and my best friend only had one class together this year and last year she was the only person I needed. I lost her. She was the extreme with everything. And on the last day of school she told me goodbye. And to us goodbye was bye forever. She was my best friend in the entire world that one person I could tell everything to so now that's she gone I don't want to trust anyone else. I miss her. 11.05.13 - 04.14.15
Hey don't worry I lost my best friend she was crossing the street and got hit and I miss her so much but now I got some more friends and helped me threw it I still think of her but I know she is in a better place
I made the mistake of listening to this when im in this position, i fell out with my special someone and my bestfriend this week and now this song is making me an emotional wreck.. Her songs are always so relatable!
"Sometimes I got problems, sometimes I have issues." This song literally describes me. People don't like me for me. I pretend. When I'm alone I cry. I laugh it off. Most people know me as the funny 'emo' chick. Not. Life is tough, but I try my hardest. Love me for me... Not my fake self.
This song reminds me of my friend. We were best friends but I was keeping something from her. After I told her the secret and we got in a huge fight. Luckily, we are friends again.
This song reminds me of my first crush and I am afraid that he may not feel the same way I feel about him. I am in love with this song. Is anyone listening in 2016 to 2017?
this song remineds me of most of my so call firends... they just keep on putting me down and I can't wait for this school year cuz I'm going to say to them everything that I want cuz I'm done pretending to be something I'm not... I'm just sooo oveeeer this life...
Phone rings Don't wanna pick it up I'm so scared I'm gonna say too much I tip toe around your questions Why you gotta dig so deep? Tears fall And the glasses break Inside these walls The floor boards shake But from outside It's alright Long as you looking from fifty feet I been trying trying Hold my head up high I been lying lying Keeping it all inside Trying not to trust you, yeah Take another leaf, I'm a book yeah yeah? I'm done, I give up I don't wanna pretend no more That's it, so what? I've lost a friend before Gonna say it like it is No more wondering "What if?" That ain't the way you oughta live Cause I don't want you to love me If you don't wanna love me for me Cause I don't want you to love me If you don't wanna love me for me A doll house is all that you could see But it's so far from my reality I got problems, I got issues Sometimes it's all too much for me Wrap it up with a pretty little bow But there are some things you can't sugarcoat So I give it to you anyway Even though it won't taste so sweet I been trying trying Hold my head up high I been lying lying Keeping it all inside Maybe I could trust you, yeah Take another leaf, I'm a book yeah yeah? I'm done, I give up I don't wanna pretend no more That's it, so what? So what? I've lost a friend before Gonna say it like it is (I'm gonna say it like it is) No more wondering "What if?" That ain't the way you oughta live Cause I don't want you to love me If you don't wanna love me for me Sick of all the fighting All the slamming of the doors The pain, the parents, too deep to ignore Step back, step back Can you see it through my eyes? I know, I know It may be a surprise Don't wanna be perceived for something that I'm not Just wanna be accepted for the little that I got If you could see me now in my glass house Not ready to let you in Oh, yeah yeah. Not ready to let you in I'm done, I give up I don't wanna pretend no more That's it, so what? I've lost a friend before Gonna say it like it is No more wondering "What if?" That ain't the way you oughta live Cause I don't want you to love me If you don't wanna love me for me Cause I don't want you to love me If you don't wanna love me for me Cause I don't want you to love me If you don't wanna love me for me
