Absolutely yes! I'm ten years into a healthy loving marriage with three amazingly frustrating daughters.. I'm the happiest I've ever been but there's always that one person that tugs at your heart a little bit in the worst way.
To all the people who listen to this masterpiece, hope you heal from all the pain you suffered.. Life goes on no matter what don't let them bring you down.. Fighting 💪
These are the words I wish I could have told my adopted mom before she passed. Thank you for helping me scream them to the stars. Maybe her energy will feel the pain she caused me and my brother. She is in my past forever now.
My past is exactly where my stepfather belongs as well as my own mother!! Two abusive parents towards me ! One was sexually abusive and the other was mentally and physically abusive but they are both gone and i have met them go and do not want to think about them ! Let God take care of everything for me!! I am a survivor with the Grace of GOD!!
This is probably the song I’ve ever cried to in my life. I’m no longer on speaking terms with my mother for 7 weeks now and I’m deeply hurt and this song just explains to me or how I felt about her. Shes my mom you know and il always love her but she chose her path and I chose mine. It’s time to move on and for my mental health she belongs in the past. they belong in the past!
I JUST FOUND THIS SONG MYSELF. I HAVE NEVER HAD A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH MY MOM. I HAD MY SON WHEN I WAS 23 SHE NEVER ACCEPTED US -- SHE SAID HE & I WERE OUR OWN FAMILY-- SHE TOLD ME WHEN I WAS 2 I COULD TAKE CARE OF MYSELF SINCE MY BROTHER WAS COLICKY THAT'S HOW SHE RAISED ME AT A DISTANCE. I TRIED FOR MANY YEARS AFTER MY SON TO ESTABLISH A RELATIONSHIP BUT HE ACTUALLY TOLD ME IF SHE ALWAYS UPSET ME WHY? SHE NEVER LOVED ME I MOVED 10 YEARS AGO TO ANOTHER STATE SHE & MY BROTHERS KNOW WHERE IVE BEEN NOBODY HAS CALLED OR CARED, SO IVE LEARNED IN MY 54 YEARS GOD IS MY (& YOURS) FATHER WHO UNCONDITIONALLY LOVES US ALL. HE KNOWS THE HEART OF EVERYONE SOMETIMES EVEN FAMILY DESERVES TO BE A PAST. I PRAY FOR YOU & YOUR SITUATION DONT LOSE FAITH. STAY STRONG FOR YOURSELF & LOVE YOURSELF TO HEAL
Crazy how much a song can speak exactly how your feeling and what your going through. Best song I’ve heard in so long and it came out As soon as I needed it🖤 your music is amazing please keep them coming!
10 years of marriage, 7 years of abuse, 5 years of fixing me when it was him who needed the help. 2 weeks it's been since I walk out 😢 I've been striped of everything
Just ridiculous tears rn...... You have no idea how much this song can help people to face the trauma and heal it. Thank you again for being you and following your heart. It's beautiful
Man, I feel like this song came out just when I needed it. But instead of putting another person behind me, I need to put the old me behind me. 💯/💯 love this song so much!!! Definitely having this on repeat for a long while!
Lyrics to this masterpiece 💜 Did someone you know Ever turn on a dime From an angel right into a monster? You still wanna stay Wanna help, wanna heal Only so much that your love can offer Why did I try for as long as I did? Back on the ropes when I knew I should quit Where do I run 'cause I've got no more blood left to bleed? I gotta put you behind me With all the pain that you caused I barely made it out fighting You drained all the life from my love Sometimes in moments of weakness I want you back in my arms But all of the bruises remind me The past is where you belong The past is where you belong You tried to protect And you always defendin' Even when they’re caught red-handed But all that you get For your purest intentions Is your heart wrapped up in a bandage How many tears do my eyes have to make? How many years is it gonna take? Where do I run so that I make it out in one piece? I gotta put you behind me With all the pain that you caused I barely made it out fighting You drained all the life from my love Sometimes in moments of weakness I want you back in my arms But all of the bruises remind me The past is where you belong The past is where you belong I gotta put you behind me With all the pain that you caused 'Cause all of the bruises remind me The past is where you belong The past is where you belong
11 yrs ago I escaped covert narcissist who I was married to. This song is my anthem - a reminder what I have went through and not to takemy freedom for granted. He certainly belongs in my past.
Dear Matt Hansen Just a few weeks ago I foundout about your music by instagram i came around a sponsored song and it was yours and i remember it like it was yesterday the song was let them go the first time I heared it i went through all kinds of emotions happy to tears to mad to thankfull to happy again that song made me realize that sometimes its better to let go then holding on cuz sometimes holding on ends up hurting you more then letting go! That song helped me in so many ways! And then Just a few days ago i came across the short from this song and Just like the last time all the emotions i felt with this one straight up i felt the same! Honestly when i saw this vid online it was uploaded Just a few hours earlier ( time difference) i had to put it onto the speakers after the second or third time i had listen to the song i knew the lyrics Thanks for your music! Music has always been my way out cuz of my troubled childhood soo thank you so so much! Im really really glad I got that sponsored video of you and that I found you! You made a big difference in my life! Big hugs from me Ps. Your music reached the Netherlands ❤
I've been struggling over the last week after my mother, who I haven't spoken to in over a year, was hospitalized for the 3rd time since October. She's slowly dying, well, killing herself basically. She doesn't wanna speak to me and I feel the same. No one understands how I feel. No one understands how much it hurts every time I hear she's back in the hospital because yes, she is my mom, but also how it brings up every awful thing I've ever been through with her as my parent. Thank God for therapy I guess. This song is cathartic and all I can say is thank you for sharing it with the world.
One day out of a mentally, physically, and verbally abusive relationship and this song had me shaking and pouring tears but thank you Matt for making this song❤
I assume this song talks more about leaving a toxic romantic relationship, but this hits me as the people I see in this song is my mom and her side of the family. I have left my mother in the past. And once I move out, she’ll finally be where she belongs. My love for the rest of my mom’s family leaves me feeling like I’m being bled dry of it. I will always love them, they are helpful, but so much has happened that I’m drained of any compassion when I’m around them for too long. I’m glad that there’s a song that I can feel like I can put the people who need to be in the past can stay in the past
THIS!!!!THIS!!!!!THIS!!!! SHOULD BE THE SONG FOR ALL SURVIVORS OF ABUSE. I'VE SENT IT TO ALL I KNOW!! I AM AN ADVOCATE AND WILL SHARE SHARE SHARE YOU ARE AN ANGEL MATT
I recently stumbled across you and your songs, this and let em go really strike chord with me, this one in particular. They remind me of my ex, I miss her… every day… and think “I want you back in my arms”… but I am starting to think … “the past is where you belong”.
It's crazy how humans can hurt each other so deeply... this song goes to the deepest part of my broken heart. If you're listening to this and you're still single... let it be a lesson to you to stay single! Much much less heartache to be single
Beautiful. 😢 I got so emotional listening to this. Thank YOU for this masterpiece.. your voice is so majestic. Shed a little tear because your song reached a part of my past I wanted to forget. It’s bittersweet how things ended so quick… Still, I love this song ❤
Just heard this song for the first time today and i really needed it. My girl left me a couple months ago and I’ve been a wreck and broken down every day since she left. She has BPD and really destroyed me. I feel trauma bonded from everything and I can’t stop missing her and loving her and I want her in my arms again. These lyrics hit home
Keep making these amazing songs bro. I know you are underrated but one day you’ll be on top artists. I’m sure about that! Your voice is powerful and healing❤️
This song hurts me to the core. It’s so true to trauma I endured. I wished I had this when I was being abused by those who were supposed to love and protect me as a child. Truly a gift🫶🏻
