Skillet - Lucy (Lyrics) 

I don't know how skillet preforming this without crying their eyes out

Surprisingly, this song was actually inspired by a friend of one of the band members. The friend and his wife had had an abortion and they had begun really regretting what they had done. A counselor suggested they treat it like a death in the family and they did. They got a tombstone, held a funeral, and mourned their loss of their baby, Lucy.

"All I've got are these roses to give, and they can't help me make amends" gets me every time.

Eleven years later...... Still a great hit 2021 anyone???

My 10 year old dog named Lucy was put down this last November, and every time I hear this song it makes me think of her and I start crying all over again.

This song reminds me of my mom... we got into a fight, and I told her I hated her. I left and didn't takk to her for months. The last time I saw her, she was sedated, going in for emergency surgery. She never woke up. I would give anything... ANYTHING, to tell her I love her... to hug her... to apoligize to her... to see her one last time. "Ive gotta live with the choices I made, and I can't live with myself today."

I am a 19, almost 20 year old male, and this song brings me to tears. Skillet really out did themselves on this song. Absolutely heartbreaking, yet beautiful at the same time. Please don't make anymore songs like this Skillet, I can't handle it, makes me feel like a little kid again

This song often makes me cry; My grandma's name is Lucy and just last year she was diagnosed with Sarcoma, a rare form of cancer in connective tissue. Then this song, more than ever became really hard because I had started planning that I would sing this at her funeral. Fast forward a few weeks to the surgery date, and the fact that she was in surgery at 76 was enough on it's own to scare me because of the risks at her age. My grandma has always meant more to me than anyone in the world. She helped raise me when I grew up in an otherwise abusive household so she was like a second mom to me. The hours crawled by of her being in surgery, and soon I get the news: "She's going to be fine, and in fact, we removed all of the cancer, so this isn't going to be what will take her life. She's strong, she's healthy, and has a long life left ahead of her, she just need to keep her for a few days for monitoring". The best news of my life! Anyway so this song brings back memories for me, some good/some bad, but in all I guess I don't have to have those bad memories because she's okay now so I don't need those thoughts. It's just always been my dream she live long enough that when I have kids, that she's around to watch them grow. Thanks for those of you who cared to take the time to read this... just needed to get it off my chest.

I recently lost my older sister in a car crash. Her name was also Lucy, she died on her birthday. Her boyfriend was driving her to her 16th birthday surprise party. She died on impact. I miss her. Lucy James. I miss you.

I just finished listening to the whole album Awake, and it is definitely my favourite Skillet album. Almost every song bought tears to eyes, reading every comment on how people have lost someone they care about and getting the feeling that my through is clogging up... Skillet did an amazing job on this album and they have helped countless people get through their toughest times. “You will lose someone you can’t live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn't seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly-that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.”

"In Heaven, Where We Never Say Goodbye." The Feels...

I just want to say how strong the skillet community fan base is. We all lift each other from the deepest dirt in the ground, but never bring each other down from the highest cloud in the sky. This band is one of the things I live for the most. No hate, no negativity, just peace, love, and joy. Everyone know that I, and Jesus love you. Stay strong no matter what! I remember your name

i just cant contain my tears, no matter how many times i heard this !

I lost my grandmother 4 years ago in July to cancer, and this song allowed me to feel that I went back in time to see her again. This is a beautiful song and on of Skillet’s best.

Grateful to God that this song exists. It reminds me of when my sister was in the hospital slowly coming to terms with death after a long battle with ARDS. Even though she may be gone, her loss has made me stronger than I realized. I love you, Laura. #Strongafter6years

After 3 years this song still makes me tear up

You never realize how much you'll miss someone until you're sitting by their grave. I miss you, Mi. I wish I had listened to your stories.

I dedicated this song to my beautiful grandmother... The woman who help raise me... I can't thank her enough for it.... I love her so much... I unfortunately lost her a month ago, a day or so after my 15th birthday.... The worst part about it was that I never got to give her a proper farewell..... I planned singing this song for her burial as my way to say "Goodbye/Goodnight"... It seems tears are streaming down my cheeks rapidly now... I can not bare the thought that I was not there for her when she needed it.... I love her so much....

My tribute to my girlfriend.. Farewell Mercury.. May God take care of you

this song is so beautiful. why can't music be more like this today?? meaningful lyrics, a decent tone? John Cooper has the most incredible voice I've ever heard NO ONE can sound better than him. Long Live Skillet Forever and Always 💞😇🎸🎶❤

heard this song at the same time i was thinking of my baby daughter who passed away a month ago... *Braelyn Pearl Patino* January 4, 2016 ♡Forever my mermaid princess♡

I cry sometimes when I listen to this song

Очень душевная песня, особенно когда знаешь перевод и знаешь смысл и историю песни - ещё большее мурашки . Спасибо Skillet за хорошую душевную песню 😭😭😭

I lost my dad January 13 of last year. This song reminds me of him being in heaven saying “keeping going on my precious 👸🏼. Stepdaughter speaking.

This song helps me when I need to cry.

R.I.P Sarah, my baby girl. I love you with all my heart and all my soul. Daddy's gonna be there soon, sweetheart....

This song reminds me of my sister Katelynn... She passed away four and a half years ago but damn does it hurt the moment this song starts. I miss you sis.. See you soon. R.I.P.

I know this is a song about loss, but I came here for nostalgia, my older brothers used to love this band and this song. I came here because i miss the old days. I havent seen the older one in over a year, and the younger one is always busy. Those were the times. they would play these songs and play on the original xbox.

"i can't live with myself today" gets me the most.

This song is very lovely and makes me miss my friends and family. GOD BLESS THIS BAND!!!!!!!!!!

This is my favorite song to deal with the loss of a loved one. R.I.P Jackson. You are always in my heart and will always be. You were a great friend. Thanks for being there for me.

Visiting this song again in 2018. In a sense, it reminds me of my dad. He passed away almost three years ago. We never had the best relationship, however, when we tried to be together more he ended up with leukemia. Within three months, he was gone. It was hard to watch such a proud man dwindle quickly. I know he’s watching over me now and I honestly wish we got to spend more time together. There’s a lot of regret that I must live with. However, I can’t wait to see him in heaven again. If you’re going through a difficult situation, I pray that God helps you out, is with you always, and that you are able to find rest.

OMG!!! My name is Lucy and this is my favorite band! 😍

everyone that goes through a loss and listens to this song... they deserve a hug. My ex girlfriend, her nickname was Lucy and she passed of Lukhemia and I sang this at my schools talent show some time a long time ago, and its been 3 years today.. Skillet, thank you for helping me remember I have feelings.

How John Cooper ever manages to sing all the way through this without melting into tears is beyond me. I can't even *listen* to it without *sobbing*.

This is one of the best songs ever written

It's 2020 and this song has helped me when life gave me hard time.

Essa música é simplesmente maravilhosa!!! E essa voz, meu Deus, não poderia ter voz melhor pra essa música 😍😍😍

First two lines: I started crying so hard

Every time I listen to the song, I can't help but change a couple of the lyrics to sing as a tribute to a friend of mine that day yet I can never finish it cause I end up crying, I can relate to this song so much especially with the feels but the part that gets me all the time is " Ill see you in another life, in heaven, where we never say goodbye" ... And I just can't wait to see James again ....

Makes me remember the future Lucy's death from Fairy Tail. That shit tore my soul apart.

this makes me think of my best friend Tyler. he committed suicide 2 weeks ago, and I just wish I would've texted him. I wish I would've just said I love you, maybe he wouldn't of done what he did. RIP Tyler Allen Hinson 2001-2015

This song made me cry every time when I heard it a few years ago

I am reminded of an old irish saying "may the road rise to meet you, may the sun shine warm upon your face, may the rain fall soft upon your fields, and until i see you again may god hold you in the palm of his hand" its a saying much like this song that tho we may not have the ones we love in life for long we will hold them again when god calls us home

This song hits so hard. When I was 16 I still birthed my daughter. I had named her Lucy. And this kills me so badly.

This is so beautiful, this song gives me so much emotion and this song should never be forgotten

Whenever I hear this song, I remember my old best friend, Lucy, I remember the days that we were together, the days that I was by your side making you laugh, whenever I hear this music my heart hurts, I miss you, I I miss because I lost you in that hospital, you were the only girl I did not have the courage to say I loved ... today I regret everything, I regret not saying that, but something I do not regret ... Make you happy

I never got to say goodbye to my grandfather, who died from health complications in his old age… …I still remember his warmth. His touch. His hugs. …I wish he was still around… I wish I had a chance to say goodbye… …I miss him so much.

*2020 hey lucy i remember your name* 💞👌💔

2:23 -2:28 Too much emotion put into that part. I was close af to crying.

Grandmother...😭😭😭 I would never forget all youve done for me till now. I will never forgive for had not saw you one last time. Please, rest in peace. And do not feel sorry for me. Never. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

*After listening to it for the 5th time* Yes! I didn’t cry! *Puts it on “In heaven where we never say ‘goodbye’ ”* *crys* Rats....

Hey you! Yes you , the person reading this comment! In case no one told you today YOU ARE AWESOME! So smile , don't ever let anyone put you down! Always remember that! Have nice day and i love you! ^__^

i’ve loved skillet since 2011 i’m 14 now and still listening to this in 2020. I started listening to them from godzilla music videos and it brings me so much joy knowing that you exist. so inspirational

Holy cow! I remember this song as a child (like 4) I got a little music player for Christmas, and my brother downloaded like every Skillet song (Hero and Monster were my fav) and i didn’t fully understand this song, but I heard the pain and no matter where I was, I’d break down crying as a little child. The memories

It's the best song from this band. I love it!! I heard it many many times... It's one of my favourite songs. When i hear it, i must think about lots of things... It's absolutly GOOD!!!!

this song is amazing just flat out amazing this is personally my favorite skillet song , most of the longs like this such as say goodbye , should've when you could've are great songs but get overlooked due to the popularity of their other songs don't get me wrong I love every skillet song but this one I think is a cut above with empathy and meaning.

To my beloved dog Lucy: Thank you for everything, my sweet angel. I will never forget the way you smiled every time we went for walks! I miss you! Rest in peace my little dove 🕊️

This reminds me of my best friend. He tried to kill himself, and went into a coma. I thought he was dead for a few months. And when I finally heard from him... I was so happy. :')

This song reminds me about my cat Hershey who passed away last year and it’s been 1 year ever he was gone from this world... it hurts that he is gone... and I love him so much I just cry every time when I listen to this song... Rest In Peace baby boy... you will always be in my heart no matter where you are in heaven.... I love you, and I miss you... 💔

Randomly listening to this after a while...makes me cry every time knowing the true story

uma das melhores do skillet ❤

this song reminds of a friend i had who had killed herself i a while back, i'd do anything to hear her voice again

My beautiful mother Lucy died when I was 19... it’s was just me and her! This song is everything I feel every single day, coz I regret every single day not looking after her the way she should’ve been looked after!

i cried listening to this

Now that i listened to this song, i remembered my grandmother that passed away, so i go to her grave and i sing this song to her all the time. I would have been there for her when she was in her house. But her last words were "I love my grandchildren all the time" so i miss her very much. I wish she was back because i did not want to say goodbye to her. I didn't want to let her go. So this is how i feel about this song. :'(

I have a really big emotional connection to this song. Because I lost my friend i've known sense birth. she knew me better then anyone. and i knew her better then anyone as well. I lost her on new years eve in 7th grade. Her name was Lucy Williams. I will never forget her

RIP baby girl it's hard to belivie 20 years has come and gone.Today I am watching my grandpa fading away my last grandparent I have left.He is 99 years old.

"Hey Lucy, I remembered your birthday" this dude is literally the best boyfriend ever

every time i listen to this song i can't hold it in .

I personally dedicate this song to my old dog Dexter. He looked a lot like Tramp, from "Lady and the Tramp" and we named him after the kid from the cartoon: "Dexter's Lab" because he was a smart dog 🐕 I miss him so much 😢 😔 😞 😪 💔 😭

I had a dog named lucy that died and I just miss her so much I cry whenever I listen to this song

I cry every time I listen to this song .. I love it so much .. it remembers me about a precious friend .. he loved this song so so much ☹

This reminds me of my mom, she died when I was 9 and it never gets easier. RIP mom, I love you

"Now that its over i just wanna hold her" i broke up with my girlfriend, we yelled at eachother and it was rough...we dont talk anymore...i regret it all and i cant replace her with anyone else

Now THAT is a POWERFULL song

Many people die, and many people miss them. They just want to see their face once more. Hug them once more. Have them smile at them. Some people regret the person dying because they never had a chance to tell them something. Sadness, stress, guilty, regret. You feel sad for their death, you miss them too much, you feel guilty for the things you did and you regret doing all those bad things. You just want them back in your life, but you can't have that happen. You love them so much...

Everybody let's give it up for SKILLET👏👏👏🎆

The best song ever. I miss Lucy :(

This song is to my beautiful grandma who passed on April 27, 2018 (65 yrs old). I love you and miss you so much, grandma. R.I.P., I'll see you again one day.

This song makes me cry everytime cause i had a cousin named lucy and she passed away last year and 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭i just want her back

This reminds of Lucy Heartfilia ... beautiful...

AH MAN tears comming out 😢😢😢😭😭😭 this song is really good and emotional.

How can just a song be emotional like that ?? its amazing cause its not just a song its everything..

Every time I listen to this song, I remember my kitten, Ivy, that died last Friday. Everything here reminds me of her. This song makes me feel like if I had done something different, then she wouldn't have died. Everything in this song makes me realize that I want just one more minute with her. I swear, I'd give up so much if I could see her again.

My aunt's name was Lucille but we called her Lucy and this song is very meaningful to me because she passed away from cancer last year on September 21st 2019 RIP aunt Lucy I will always remember you

Yami: I've gotta live with the choices I made. Yugi: And I can't live with myself today...

This song totally hits home.

This Song remind me of my mother...i lost her when i was 7 years...11 years ago...miss you so much mom ❤

this song helps when you are feeling down

For some reason it makes me feel like he is talking about his daughter. I-I'M NOT CRYING MY EYES ARE JUST SWEATING!

Such a beautiful song.🌻💛

Even though this song is sad I love it. This song will always be my one of my favorite songs

Still gives me the chills hearing this

Such a powerful song, really tough listen tho, makes me wanna cry everytime i listen to it

I am a 19 year old male, almost 20. Two years ago, my mother died and I never got to see her in person after i was taken away in foster care. She died of a heart attack in her sleep. I came home from school 3 days after my birthday to be told. I still miss her to this day "I gotta live with the choices I made, and I can't live with myself today."

This reminds me of my papa and my mama RIP💗😭

I love this song; it's got a very melodic yet hard-edged sound that really meshes together well. :-)

When it says I have to live with the choices I made that's something we should all do

i lost my cousin last year and i miss him so much and this song helps me whenever i need to cry
