I pushed away my angel & soulmate. I’m sorry if you’ve experienced the pain I know we all must at some point & I just pray everyone can make it out truly…. ♾️
To anyone in this world working on healing, I see you. I’m proud of you. To all the silent battles you have fought and the tears you have shed, I’m sending the biggest hug. To relationships that ended due to unhealed trauma, may restoration find you and meet you exactly where you are. You are still worthy of love and deserve the world. It often rains hardest on those deserving of sun. Don’t ever forget that. Take a deep breath and remind yourself that this is only a tough season, not a tough life. ❤
To anyone listening to this song and feeling the raw emotions taking over, remember this life is all about growth and sometimes the right choice is the hardest one to make
As a veteran these words are my life. After Afghanistan I was so lost for so long, but she stayed, she built a life with me, she helped save me, even today 13 years later. Thank you.
@@Jaycee42023 then why does it feel like im more lost now then i ever was? it seems the more i learn of this cold world the less i want to be part of it
@@SiNestEr691 I really understand you on that. Not sure, if you & I are the only ones that feel that way but, if you don’t have kids, it’s harder to understand. Only thing I can advice is putting uncomfortable things into practice and try our hardest not to keep making the same mistakes. It gets lonely & colder the more we grow but we all have a purpose in life
@@Jaycee42023 i feel that i am a father of four and tbh they the only reason im still around once they good idk maybe take a plane somewhere and try restarting fresh
Breaking the cycle!!! I grew up with a toxic mom and dad who fought every night of my childhood. I grew up to follow that same pattern wit my drinking and fighting, almost 2 years sober 🎉🎉🎉
Literally! I am going to his show coming up and listening to newer music and I think with this one right here I found a new #1. I’m crying at work listening to this shit😭🔥🖤
She didn’t stay by my side, she left me as I was working on me while I let her work on her. Now we have to work on ourselves apart, but it didn’t need to be that way…we could’ve done it together. Russ always releasing songs when I need them tho most, that’s why he’s always my top artist.
I have BPD and I relate to this song so fucking much. Are you okay Russ? We LOVE YOU!!!!!!!! Please stay with us 😢 I've been going thru so much lately....I needed an anthem. This is it right here.
@@lindsayclark921 Wish I could help but, there's too many songs that had similar riffs, sis... lol could be anything to be real. But the popular bands at the time were like Good Charlotte, Yellowcard, Blink 182, New Found Glory...
I dedicate this song to my boyfriend who has stayed by my side throughout my growth, change, and healing stages. He is my foundation and I can’t wait to repay him when I am back on top! ❤❤❤❤
Trying to not cry every time I hear this song. But doesn’t help it’s on repeat so the tears eventually fall. I needed this while never knowing I didn’t need to hear the words that were speaking how I have been feeling lately. Thank you for this Russ. I can’t wait to see you on tour next month- to vibe, to cry , to just feel alive
Man this song got me crying because every thing this man said hits I have borderline personality disorder and for most people that means I’m too much to deal with but all I do is support love and defend and still feel I get left
I absolutely love Russ & 6lack. Both their music got me thru some of the roughest times in my life. Hearing them on a track that hits so close to home got me feeling some type of way.
We are living in an era where everything and everyone is replaceable. Like life comes easy and a present is just what it is. Like a Amazon package. If u don’t like what u got u can send it back. We gotta take care of those that lift us up when we are low and remember that they stopped their time to be with us.
I’ve always heard of people saying/hearing a song and its “speaking to you” and i finally felt that with this track, i even cried… good shit Russ 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@latenightchillin to me it's about he really loves this girl and she's getting tired of his toxic shit and he wants to change but has never known anything different so it's hard for him but the girl is his soulmate so he's healing for her and hoping he doesn't chase her away in the meantime. ♡
I came across this by sheer luck...this describes exactly what I'm going through right now. I don't expect my friends and family to be there once I'm done healing (maybe I won't ever be done) but I need to do this for myself so I can say "I'm back" stronger than before. I hope not only me but also all the people who identified with the lyrics as I did find their peace...that's what I'm looking for. "I bottled a lot of my pain" and I do not wish to hurt those around me for it. Sending all of you a big hug 🫂
This song hits home all to well right now… I’ve literally hit my rock bottom….. lost my home.. now having to live in a tent at the lake with my mom and boyfriend…. Thank you for releasing this. Love your music
I relate to every word. Crazy how so many people can be going through the same situations on many level, and a beautiful song can explain or express all our feelings that we don't know how to or can't. Killing Me Softly With His Words!Thank You Russ!!!
It is always a positive surprise for me that some artists unwaveringly uphold the principles of mental health, heart, and soul. Thank you, Russ, for consistently providing your listeners with what they need through your music ever since I started listening to you. 💚
It's unfortunate but more women leave men in trying times then men ever leave women in trying times especially when money is involved.... So hes got a keeper

The timing for this track to drop could not have been any better! This hits deep but I needed it. I shared a snippet on my social media and in minutes had a message with my mother saying sorry. Parents don't understand the damage they have caused and left u to heal and be better on our own.
On my way back home after working a 21 day rotation, I was listening to this for the first time and ngl I teared up once the “boo boo child hood trauma” verse started.. It caught me off guard god damn 😣
If this song didn't hit home I don't ever know if one will. Thank you for making this song. My boyfriend lost the mother of his five year old daughter whike he was incarcerated a few months ago. He is struggling and he asked me recently to be patient with him. He keeps telling me he is working on him and I just needed to be by his side. I pray he understands sometimes I need to lean on him as well and comes home. I miss him. Again thank you for sharing your talent with the world.!
I been going through a lot. Literally my life in one beautiful harmonic melody by a passionate & talent artist. 😔 my heart has never felt more broken & tender but yet strong & healing than it does listening to this masterpiece. Please Lord just give me a spot close to the gates so I can still keep an eye on my babies and my baby girl.. 💙💙💙💚♾️🖤💔 Jasmine I love you. Eleazar I love you. Jordan I love you. Aiden I love you. I will always love you my angels. ♾️😔
Creo que eso es lo que tienen las canciones.. lo que no sabemos expresar nosotros mismos, están ahí para ayudarnos a entender, expresar..el desorden que tenemos en nuestra alma.
Creo que en eso están las canciones, para ayudarnos a expresar,entender lo que no sabemos decir nosotros mismos y las canciones nos ayudan a ordenar el caos.. el desorden que tenemos en nuestra alma.
I've been following these big two artists for years! Watching 6LACK live for the first time two months ago was amazing, and watching both in the same year was totally unexpected. I already have my place in front of the stage reserved. 15 November...⏳
This one just hit man 😭. I really hope my girl knows that this is hard and its just for the better. Worst thing is that it isnt even her fault but the the demons that have been put the side have been inviting more and I really got a lot to do for us. Appreciate this work of art that speaks to the soul Russ and 6lack! 🤝🏾
I got to see this song a few nights ago in Seattle and man the guy can move a crowd its like he had ahold of everyone's soul if I had a chance to see him again there's no doubt I would!!
This song could not be more relatable! Currently feeling this way but I am blessed with such an amazing partner in life. The trauma is real even if I think I have it figured it out but working on me. Thank you Russ and 6LACK for this song.
Fighting to hold the tears many left when my son died to watch humans argue about helping lay a innocent soul to rest as I sit here hearing this for the first time I can’t even express I’m just grateful that I’m able to be what many kids and animals have needed in this life. I just pray I can continue to be what I needed as a kid to the kids and speak up and not be the scared young little girl I still feel as though at times remembering when it all began the pain to be violated as a child is insane however this song wow 😞🎁❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥‼️ one for the past present and future me 🤞🏾
