I played this for my dad right before he passed away and asked him to forgive me. I told him i loved him and that no matter what i wanted to be there for him that i wasn't angry for him leaving any more. He held my hand and breath his last breath finally at peace. I was 13. I am now 25 years old and can remember this like it was last night. I love you dad...
I love everything that Flyleaf makes, but by the hands of god this song is the most beautiful and it brings pure nirvana to my soul. Thank you Flyleaf for existing.
Very well said. There are a lot of great songs out there that hit an emotional cord with me. But this one is just so... raw and really plays at your bones.
God is speaking to me through this song he wants me to follow him and keep on his path that he designed for me.. he loves me so much that I can’t fathom it.... I’m lost God pls help me I’m not where you want me to be I’m sorry that I have such a bad mood and act angry at the world that you made 💔😭forgive me lord this isn’t how I want my life to go but pls help straighten my heart and soul out they’re in knots and tangles I need you to come into my life and put me where you want me to
Be strong things are gonna get harder but god hasnt stepped in yet because he knows that you can handle it this is your life this is your test this is your time to shine and show the world what your made of. If god were to step and just take it all away then what meaning would there be behind it? Your strong enough stand your ground so pass this test and carve your own path and god will be there standing beside you so that you dont have to do it alone
I'm in a similar place. It took so long to realize that god wants us to come as we are, struggles and all. It's ok to struggle. It's ok to mess up sometimes. He will always welcome you with open arms, happy that you came to him. I'm working on it, and I'm not gonna beat myself up so much like I used to when I inevitably fall short.
My best friend sent me this song as a flashback of our lifelong friendship (we were in our late 30s at the time). 2 days later I get a disturbing wake up. She was found dead in her bathtub (supposedly a heart attack). I moved a 15 hour drive away after I had my 1st child (her blood nephew), so our friendship became one of every other day calls & video chats. My guilt has never subsided. I wasn’t physically there at the times when deep down she needed me the most, even though we still supported each other & loved each other unconditionally. Thick & thin. Sisters. And I miss her just as much today. So, I listen to this song (& a few others) as I write my “Letters to Heaven”. It seems stupid but I have wrote her a letter on the same days we would call each other. Soul mates don’t have to be a significant other- a romantic interest; they are that one person you have such a strong bond with that even death can’t intervene. That person you’d literally give your life to protect. The person who has influenced the very fabric of your being. I wouldn’t be half the woman, mother, & grandmother I am today if I hadn’t had her in my life.
I sent this to my best friend/sister years ago. I developed PTSD after finding my brother dead (hung in my parents basement) back in 2015 and I haven't been the same since and completely shut her out. I felt so bad because she's like a sister so I sent her this song to express how I feel. It makes me cry everytime I hear it.
I messed up with my best friends because we all had problems going on in our lives and I had developed depression. It was all so different and horrible compared to how I used to live (happy and carefree) so I started acting out. It started hurting my friends and things only got worse to the point of me losing the trust of my friends and me hitting rock bottom several times, once or twice leading to suicide attempts. I've recovered from that and I still have most of those friends now. The one I ended up losing was of my own choice, because I couldn't ever feel normal around her anymore due to some of the ways we fought with each other. This song reminds me of all that and how I hope to be a better friend to avoid things getting that bad ever again.
This song means a lot to me that I've realized something about it. I lost my best friend because of my selfish ways I have become and I wasn't there for her as much when she needed me the most. Every time I hear this song, it reminds me of her and our memories, and the moments we had with each other, just being so close & attached more than just being "best friends" but mostly we fell in loved with each other Cause nobody understood us the way we did, it felt like we share And created a strong bond until I started to fade away and hurt her by not being there for her and just walked away with out a bye.. I'm sorry cintia , I love you.
Hey at least you corrected the typo. I tip my hat to you ma'am. Most RU-vid publishers would be too lazy to fix it and just ignore any comments regarding such mistakes.
Man this hits hard... makes me realize how thankful I am to have the people in my life, and this song is what I wish I could say to them. Hits even harder when you moved to a new country and can't see them for a year... im gonna squeeze my friends to death with hugs once I get back.
This song hit me right to my core, I've said so things I shouldn't have even thought of asking and listening to this song made me cry from how sorry I felt for saying such a thing
I remember being an emo kid and God just infiltrated my life through this album and I didn’t even realize they were a Christian band until way after the fact
Beau Long amen the cool part about this story is that I was going through a lot at home so this album was my escape after school! And I was worshipping at the same time. He truly does work in mysterious ways! It’s comforting to look back on my life and all the things I went through and be able to pin point where God was in those moments 💖 have a blessed day
My friend lizzie looked so much like lacey. I miss you lizzie i miss you so much and I’m so incredibly sorry for being such a shitty friend. I loved you so much. Your soul was so beautiful 💖 you were an amazing person and your presence can never be replaced
wanna be there for you, someone you can come to, ones deeper than my bones, wanna be there for you... cuz i hear the whispered words..in your masterpiece beautiful , you speak the unspeakable truth, i love you,,,,
Yo i had this song for years in my cellphone one girl i was talking back then in 2015 i think put it on my phone. And i always listened the version in my phone WHICH IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN THIS VERSION, can someone show another version so i can see if it is the one on my phone
This used to be mine and my ex best friends song...but I wish I would of realized just how toxic we were for each other, we had been best friends since high school, she was there for me more than I ever was for her and I definitely admit my faults, but she also was someone who felt like she will ALWAYS be better than me and always told me I’d be nothing without her, and I’d never go anywhere in life. Yet anytime I hear this song...I still wish we didn’t end how we did, but I don’t deserve a toxic person in my life who made me feel like I was nothing but a worthless piece of crap
Isabelle, Emma, Taylor, Kiara. Everyone at GSA. God, I dont understand how you guys can still be here for me, when Im so fucking terrible to you all. How is it possible that you can still have hope for me? And, Payton? I love you. So fucking much. Youre my everything. Im sorry.
Pretty sure Flyleaf themselves hated what the record labeled did to this song in post. Listen to the “acoustic” version of this song its so much better
My girlfriend sent me this a while ago and I liked it but now that I'm thinking deeper into the lyrics I'm thinking that I should speak out my every thought and feeling. As I've not been as open as I maybe should be and I'm afraid that might push her away one day. And if that comes to pass id rather die. I'm usually ok when it comes to loss
Don't be afraid. Maybe if you don't be more open to her, this will make her run. Tell her everything that you feel, because life is short and maybe she is the love of your life. I have the same problem with relationships and I work to be better in it. It's hard to be more opened, but it's also a fear.
Lucy Simmons Takane Kokonose Enomoto This goes out to you both. i'm sorry that i wasn't there when you needed me. i'm sorry that i hurt you. I'm sorry that i'm the worst friend ever. I'm sorry for all the arguments i caused. I'm sorry for pushing you away when you tried to help me. I'm sorry that i didn't help you. I love you and miss you both.
