Demi Lovato - Sober (Official Lyric Video) 

"i'm sorry for the fans i lost" you didn't loose any real fans Edit: thanks for all the likes it’s 2 yrs later and I still ofc love Demi but they really got me through a hard time in 2020 and I love them for it

sometimes,out of nowhere,it hits me that this could've been her last single....

This is the biggest warning sign everybody ignored. She hasnt lost any of her real fans and nobdy should make her feel that way.

This could've been her last song. This would've been the end of her story. But it wasn't. Thank Goodness it wasn't

Stay Strong Demi. ❤️

Some people really DO write about their life. Sometimes we should listen and realize there isn't a hidden meaning. It's literally spelled out on the screen.

*HEROIN GAVE ME BEAUTIFUL WINGS,,,,,* *BUT TOOK AWAY MY SKY...* 😢 *7 years clean 🙏❤️

This song hits differently after watching Dancing with the Devil

You are not alone. We are by your side. Remember that all your fans love you. You made me cry. You are in our hearts Demi!!

It kills me to know how disappointed Demi is in herself. She finally broke her sobriety and the first thing she did was apologize for it. She feels so horrible for doing it and probably thinks that everyone else does too. She probably expects to lose fans over this and for everyone to be disappointed in her. She isn't proud of herself for staying sober for 6 years but instead disappointed in breaking sobriety after 6 years. It kills me to think about how much hate she probably gave herself because of this and I am so proud of her for staying strong for this long. When something as heartbreaking as this happens she gets out there and tells her story through a beautiful song. So please instead of leaving Demi like she thought so many people would do, stay and support this amazingly strong and talented woman.

The fact that she wrote this after her relapse and wrote about her real experience with addiction makes this song super powerful. I've been battling addiction for way too long and she nails it with these lyrics.

Here after Demi's dancing with the devil documentary

This was probably the biggest warning sign we ignored

The fact that she didn't promote this song is amazing, she knew her fans will find out about it. It's meant for the Lovatics and I think it's beautiful.

this song hits different knowing she actually broke soberity when she wrote this . here from dancing w the devil

I am a counselor in a drug and alcohol treatment facility and my group wanted to find a song I think they would relate to. So I came straight to this song. My clients were in tears because many related to it. The men and women had tears flowing. It's such a deep song. It makes me wish my mom would say these things to me. But I'm not losing hope. Recovery is possible. Don't judge the addict, you don't know what they have gone through.

when she said *“i’m sorry that i’m here again, i promise i’ll get help... it wasn’t my intention, i’m sorry to myself”* _i felt that_

Took me 4 overdoses, jail time, and all my dignity before I finally got sober... I love this song, the lyrics really hit home. I love the realness. 12yrs clean... Relapse is a part of recovery.

A few months ago i lost my best friend. He had bipolar troubles and bad alcohol and drugs habbits. He was constantly fighting against it but his disorder was too strong and he took his own life back. This song always made me think of him and now that he is gone its so painful to listen to it... I know that now he is not tormented anymore but i miss him everyday of my life and will always til my last breath. This song is a tribute to people who are in difficulties with drugs and alcohol and health issues in general... This is for you Ben, you will never be forgotten i promise :(

‘sober’ has to be one of the most saddest songs demi has ever released and recorded. it actually breaks my heart, one of the hardest songs i’ve ever listened too. it’s crazy to think this would’ve been their last song released. i thank god that demi is still here today, i don’t know what i would do without them. i’ve been a fan since 2011. i love them so much :(

"sorry for the fans i lost" i think you mean fake fans. Lovatics will stay no matter what. We love you unconditionally.

This girl is haunted with so many demons in her life, I admire her constant fight to reach peace. She is admirable because she has not acted as a perfect person throughout all of this!! I hope Demi can get help, God is love and I hope you find love in him!!!

2 years since this masterpiece that still makes me cry a lot... she's so strong I love her so much..

Who's here after the docu series? Makes this song even more heartbreaking... Love her so much

I pray that she finds the strength to be sober again because the world cannot handle losing another young, talented life

Everyone has their bad days. Recovery is hard, but we know you will get through this setback & we hope the best for you. We love you Demi & stay strong ❤️

So much has happened since this was released.i remember arguing with my mum about it, I knew it was a literal confession and mum was in denial and thought it was a just a song based on the past. I'm so proud of how far demi has come in these short 4 years. Stay strong everyone 🌻 it's worth it. I promise.

A role model isn’t someone who backs down. A role model is a person who gets back up. You are not just a role model but you are a warrior and a survivor who didn’t give up. You are amazing ❤️

I remember her breaking down in tears at her Brooklyn concert for making it 6 years sober. She’s fought this and can and will again. People will relapse but so long as your willing, you can overcome anything. You may fall a few times, but keep getting back up and you’ll see one day you can finally stand. #StayStrong

I lost my sister at 15 to a heroin and morphine overdose. It ruined my life. I spiraled out of control and i was only 15. I left home, did cocaine, lsd, liquor and xanax all the time, dropped school (went back and graduated with a 3.6 gpa) and i got pregnant at 17 and now im 18 and just accepting her death. Now have my life together. Im two years clean with a 4 month old boy. Demi, please dont give up because you’re a sister to all of us, and losing family hurts.

As someone who has relapsed more times than they can count this song hits so different! I'm happy to say that I now have 471 days clean off fentanyl ❤ We do recover!

*A role model is not someone who never falls, but someone who always gets back up*

*I can literally feel her emotions pouring during this song. She sung this from her heart and I can feel it*

I hope she gets the help she needed. This song was a cry for help, I can't believe they left her feeling lonely again even though she explained everything she was going through. All she needed was someone to take care of her, hold her and tell her that everything will be fine, that we're not giving up on her, that we'll always love her no matter what. Demi, you are so loved and we wish you all the best. I hope you know that!

This song hits differently after watching Dancing with the Devil Demi Lovato is so dope. I can't stop watching this track again and again. I am sure she will be #1 soon due to 💖a u t h e n t I c v i e w s 💖

person you wanted to be when you were young still exists. Become that person, it’s not too late. Let yourself live life to the fullest for as long as you possibly can because there is so much you haven’t done. The you that you were as a child is still there and wants to fulfill their dreams.

"I'm sorry to myself." That hit me hard. TBH tho this whole song is just so emotional. I love it when artists express themselves and become vulnerable to their fans through their words, their lyrics, their songs. I just can't express the beauty of this song. I am hoping that whatever is happening to Demi she will be okay, whether this song is old or it's about an experience that just happened. I will forever love Demi for not being afraid to speak her truth.

I respect her for being so honest and acknowledging it. Stay Strong Demi #PrayForDemi

sometimes,out of nowhere,it hits me that this could've been her last single.... what a music right here a u t h e n t I c v i e w s dun took Demi Lovato oFf 2 da big leagues and fo dat I will always be super grateful

When I first heard this song, I thought it was about her past, but I know now that this about the present as well. We are all praying for you. Stay strong beautiful

Everyone falls. It’s just about getting back up, she will, it might take a while, she did it once, she can do it again

Demi Lovato will ALWAYS be my favorite singer because she doesn't hide. Her songs are real and you can hear her pain. Her songs help SO many people not just addicts, even addicts loved one's and others too. She is amazing, addict or not.

Here after Demi's dancing with the devil documentary what a music right here a u t h e n t I c v i e w s dun took Demi Lovato oFf 2 da big leagues and fo dat I will always be super grateful

This was literally a cry out for help. Her emotions are so strong in this. I love her so much and i just want to give her a massive hug.

This is so personal. I’m amazed Demi found the courage to release this. Find strength, sweetheart!

I will always respect your honesty and thank you for this beautiful song. I relapsed not long ago. Almost lost my life and now I'm back on track. I'm taking my sobriety one day at a time. My name is Jimmy and I am an addict in recovery. To all the people struggling, don't ever give up. I lost my Mom and Dad to addiction.

"I'm sorry for the fans I lost" you never lost us, you just showed us that everyone is human and that everyone needs love and support. You are still an amazing role model. And don't be sorry to us, you've helped many of us live till now.

Listening to this after hearing the news of her overdosing. Sending her all my love. I pray and hope that she makes it through and finds the right path. You are so loved Demi. Loved and cherished beyond measure. Stay strong.

It’s so sad how she’s apologizing for breaking her soberty, as if she has disappointed us. WE love you Demi and we know how hard it must have been with everything you’ve been through, and we support you. It may take a strong person to stay sober, but it takes a stronger person to admit their faults and be so public about it ❤️ you did it once and you can definitely do it again. No matter what though, there are always people there supporting you Demi 🙏🏼❤️ (this applies to anyone who has similar struggles. STAY STRONG AND HAVE HOPE)

seeing her engaged, happy and glowing today makes me feel so proud, our demi has come such a long way 🥺❤️

The fact that this was her silently crying for help and everyone ignored it because they thought it was an old recording from years back. so sad😞😣

Aww it’s okay Demi 😭. Demi we are your fans and we are here for you! You don’t have to get through this alone. We will always love you no matter what happens.

Omg I’m actually in tears. You got this, Demi. Us Lovatics believe in you!! ♥️

2yrs in recovery myself. 1st time hearing this. This made me cry my eyes out. 😭 Addiction is a incurable disease! Its tough out here... To: whoever is still in active addiction & reading this "You're Worth It, I Promise, Love You, and We Got this". ❤

This song hits different and her series hits different since my addict of a husband lost his battle with addiction last week. It’s a hard road to go through and if u are able to help someone with an addiction please do !!!

"who is still listening in 2019?" dude, it hasn't even been a year

I wanna be a role model...but I’m only human” Demi, you being so honest and vulnerable is such an inspiration in itself. You are singing about something that people can deeply relate to. And in making yourself vulnerable, your fans can better connect with you and understand you. Your true fans will always stick by you, and will always see you as a role model, because they understand all that you’ve been through and how hard you’ve fought as a fellow human.

This song speaks to me because of my depression. I feel sorry because of it to my family, to my SO who will meet the broken me, and mostly to myself. I'm sorry that I cant be the girl I used to be, that I am someone who can't be fixed no matter how much i try.

Man this hits different after watching dancing with the devil. She clearly said she’s not sober anymore and we all missed it 😭

"The Fans you lost" don't know how hard it is to fall. And how much harder it is to get up again. 🌹YOU ARE A ROLE MODEL! You're so strong. You're wonderful! You deserve the world And the world deserve a woman like you! 🌹 I'm by your side.

I am not addict to alcohol but I feel this song in a very deep way. I am still not sober from my demons and I wonder if I will ever be. Thank you Demi for standing for me when I could not. Skyscraper saved me in so many ways it is hard to explain. You gave me the voice I did not have. I will always thank you for being there, even if just with your music. Recovery is a long journey, but you are not alone. ❤️

Oh shit. This feels different after finding out what she went through while writing this song. We love you Demi ❤️

One of the hardest things to do it reach an audience on a personal level through a screen. I think this song hits hard for so many people they instantly have a connection with the song and therefore the artist. There are so many die hard demi fans, and that's why she will make it through this, because she knows she's not alone. She is the voice of an addicted generation, I think it's time to open up about addiction and stop treating it like a choice, and more of an illness. Not just for the uber rich but for every man, woman and child alike

She is one of the few artist who sing about there life and truly mean it

As a person in recovery... this is amazing... relapse doesn’t make you less of a person.. it doesn’t make you a bad person... and it doesn’t mean that you can’t help others now... 1 day clean is a miracle... if you were sober for a few years and slipped up... oh well... pick yourself up and keep your head up... we are all humans 🙏🏼

Only 42 million you should be ashamed of yourselves...this song should be .1 billion

Drug addiction is the worst thing. I’m glad I got myself together and sober.

I came back because she was just rushed to the hospital and all I want is for her to get BETTER!!!! I LOVE YOU DEMI SO MUCH.

😭😭 the most important thing is "I'm sorry to myself", stay strong y'all and forgive yourselves ♥️🚦

Today is two years since her overdose, and I am very proud of her, because she has come out ahead, she has left her demons behind, she is already engaged and is going to make a family. we love u demi. ♥️

The fact that this coulda been the last song we heard from her😩 I’m just soooo thankful that she’s doing better now

0:58 You can wake up now, its over. Happy 6 Months Demi

Demi we will help lift you up so you never feel lonely again ❤❤

"I wanna be a role model, but I'm only human." That's why you are a role model, you're truly human and you keep working on being better

This song and her song anyone have been helping me through my alcoholism. Shit all of her music is getting me through it.

Addiction is real. I don’t think Demi will ever read this but I’ve been sober five years and everyday is a battle and we do relapse and we do fall but we get up and after the shame and hurt we move on and start over and we do it all again. Love you Demi. I’m 53 years old and your music moves me and motivates me

Every time you fall, I promise you will get back up, and you will be stronger than you were before. Stay strong and take as much time as you need Demi.

"I wanna be a role model" she said. "you are" we, your fans, believe so. we love you hihi

When you heard this song for the first time 2 years ago, you knew she was bad and she was strong, but now you know the trailer for her new documentary and you realize you didn't know how bad she was. Knowing that she almost died, this song has such a bitter aftertaste. It breaks my heart that she had to suffer so much and that she couldn't find another way out. I love her forever, I always stand behind her, forever a Lovatic!

I love how honest this is

i hate when she sings "and i try, and i try" too many times, makes it so real. I've been that way too so i know how desperate can it be to try to be ok. *heartbreaking*

Your music is making me feel alot of old emotions and reminds me why I'm in recovery . You are inspiring to so many young men and woman that there is a way out out this illness you can get clean and sober if you go through a program and work it into your life everyday . We are all medicals . Brilliant album and it's so good to see you feeling better and no longer dancing with the Devil. The best is yet to come ❤️🙏 beautiful woman

Currently in addiction trying trying trying to get sober. This girls so raw & honest do you know what it takes to admit who u are internally makes u want to suppress what's going on. She's so talented & honest takes alot to acknowledge what's in your mind isn't okay. Be beautiful demi raw is real xx

Dear Demi, You have never let your fans down. Instead, those who left have let you down. You are very strong to share this life story with us. We are sorry that you are not sober. We will always love you, what you stand for and your music no matter what happens. You have help many of us get through depression, suicidal thoughts and bullying. Stay strong, you will get through this! You are always a role model to us, Lovatics. Love, All the Lovatics around the world..

We here for you Never feel lonely, please

1 month before her overdose... I cry every time I listen to this song💔

We love you Demi! We needed this song, so thank you. Whoever needs to hear this, we ARE worth it! We DO recover!!🙏🏼🩵

This song is everything. Honest, real, emotional, heartbreaking, beautiful. This is Demi's truth. I don't care whether you like her or not, it takes guts to come out and admit that you've relapsed after 6 years. Especially when you feel a responsibility to so many people. Listening to how sorry she is for disappointing not just her family and friends but her fans as well absolutely crushed me. She doesn't owe us anything. She never said she was perfect. She didn't lie or betray anyone. She has an ADDICTION. There is no cure for addiction. Relapse is always a possibility, it's actually very common but there's a stigma behind it. It's a part of addiction that's not really talked about except in a negative way. If you relapse you have failed. You are a failure. You are beyond saving. That is simply not true. You suffer from an ADDICTION. Relapse is a part of recovery. I'm not gonna lie, it sucks. The feelings of guilt and shame are normal. But it's not the end of the world. You CAN get through it. You are NOT a failure. You suffer from an ADDICTION. And more importantly, you are HUMAN. You are not perfect. You make mistakes but you get back up (rise from the ground like a skyscraper) and you move on. Thank you Demi for being so honest. Thank you for being you. It's okay. I love you. I am proud of you ❤

Eminem and Demi should make a song together.Both of them had their ups and downs with drugs,pills,drinks and psychological states.They are two completely different people,with completely different characters and stories,but simultaneously they are so alike in some things and actually Eminem is still sober after 10 years of quitting pills,drinks and drugs.

The real fans remain...

After Dancing with the devil, listening to this is so hard:(

She sings that she’s not a role model but she is the best role model, teaching everyone to be strong

This is vulnerable, real, and emotional. She's only human. She makes mistakes. She isn't perfect. She goes through struggles like everyone else. I love her for being honest and real in this song when she didn't have to be. This received no promo. Literally one tweet from her and it went #1 on iTunes and has over 1.7 million views. The numbers don't matter though because this was a song for us, the fans and the people close to her. Honestly, this is better than No Tears Left To Cry. I wasn't expecting this from Demi but I still love it. It's beautiful but it's sad. If she falls we catch her. That's what fans do. I just love her so much.

"Moma I'm sorry, I'm not sober anymore," that made me cry....I relate to this song SO much, just with different addictions...

The pain and beauty of this song is off the scale. Really captures challenges of addiction

This poor girl. Demi should know that all her true fans would never leave her.

I hope she's getting help again,, I don't wanna wake up one day to see that shes left us. ♡♡take care of yourself, guys♡♡

I still don't understand how they released that song and no one sent them back to rehab, it was a cry for help...

This song speaks straight to my heart. It seems like all I do is fuck up . My addiction was meth and staying sober is the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my whole life.

dang this was dark. praying that anyone out there struggling finds help and hope.
