Justin gave us all so much during the pandemic with all of the online-streaming. The content he provided for us all was priceless. I could never thank him and the boys enough for being there for us all during this time. Especially after finding out all he was going thru with his marriage and his dad. We all have stuff we go through but we all don't give of ourselves the way he and they do. Nobody works as hard for their fans as Blue October! Eternally Grateful! 💙💙💙
I listened to this constantly when I was taking care of my mother during her battle with cancer. She lost that battle but knowing someone else had felt that pain and put it to music saved my life and sanity...what little I have...lol
Justin, thank you for sharing your pain. Its a path that the rest of us can follow to make this journey easier. You've touched more of us then you ever imagined.
This is the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard. I wish I could share how much this song means to me. When I first heard it, I was not in a good place. I had borrowed my sister’s car and she had this CD/song, already cued. It shitkicked my soul and being, in a good way. I was drinking myself to death and my girlfriend was pregnant with our amazing daughter. This song, was the wake-up call, I needed. I can’t thank you enough. It took a lot for me to type this.
Ever carried the weight of another? For how long? I walk as far as they need to recover For how long? I want to carry a piece of who I was before So when I hit the wall, I really hit the wall I want to tear away the death again A whiter shade of --- meth again I want to stick to clues, I want to come unglued I want to shape the world to fit the way you move Oh, should I listen for a dress size? I've owned up, I've grown up, do you remember me? I showed up, but so what if I'm the used to be? I'm here to tell you that I'm sorry I was sorry But I'm happy that you're happy This is no longer about me Trade rules, switch sides for your beautiful eyes Let him be you through your beautiful cries Let him hold you up so you can touch affordable skies Live your life just like a dream without the pain of goodbyes Goodbye! Ever carried the weight of another? For how long? I walk as far as they need to recover For how long? I been a drunk disrespectful little street punk Unlock the back of my trunk You see, you take this bat And bash my head into the street again No one's around so I keep beating it Pull my hair back, look me in the eye There's a self-destructive meaning in the bleeding of a guy It's the guilt of what reality has given me Making sense of all mistakes and my stupidity And when you're sick you seem to think you've failed eternally And that the people you let in are only crumbling When you're sick of faking life in this recovery When my decision paved the road that lies in front of me So to the friends that even call but I don't call back I hold you deep inside my heart upon a hill It seems to hide sometimes and run away and wonder I'm really sick of saying sorry but I will Every carried the weight of another? For how long? I walk as far as they need to recover For how long? But are we scared to take the ride? Or dare to look inside? I'm floating far away I want to learn to walk with others as an equal I want to treat the ones who love me with respect I want to tell the world I'll give them all a piggy back And try to take away my negative effect I want to kiss the girl, I know I'll never lie again I want to call my dad and tell him that I care I want to let my brother know he's saved my life a thousand times Throughout the years he's been the friend who's always there Ever carried the weight of another? For how long?
Cause once you're done and quit like he did you really don't want to say it. We're done with that kinda stuff. And quitting for him was a huge commitment.
If you read this i want you to know your music saved my life

Ever carried the weight of another?
For how long?
I walk as far as they need to recover
For how long?
I want to carry a piece of who I was before
So when I hit the wall, I really hit the wall
I want to tear away the death again
A whiter shade of --- meth again
I want to stick to clues, I want to come unglued
I want to shape the world to fit the way you move
Oh, should I listen for a dress size?
I've owned up, I've grown up, do you remember me?
I showed up, but so what if I'm the used to be?
I'm here to tell you that I'm sorry I was sorry
But I'm happy that you're happy
This is no longer about me
Trade rules, switch sides for your beautiful eyes
Let him be you through your beautiful cries
Let him hold you up so you can touch affordable skies
Live your life just like a dream without the pain of goodbyes
Goodbye!
Ever carried the weight of another?
For how long?
I walk as far as they need to recover
For how long?
I been a drunk disrespectful little street punk
Unlock the back of my trunk
You see, you take this bat
And bash my head into the street again
No one's around so I keep beating it
Pull my hair back, look me in the eye
There's a self-destructive meaning in the bleeding of a guy
It's the guilt of what reality has given me
Making sense of all mistakes and my stupidity
And when you're sick you seem to think you've failed eternally
And that the people you let in are only crumbling
When you're sick of faking life in this recovery
When my decision paved the road that lies in front of me
So to the friends that even call but I don't call back
I hold you deep inside my heart upon a hill
It seems to hide sometimes and run away and wonder
I'm really sick of saying sorry but I will
Every carried the weight of another?
For how long?
I walk as far as they need to recover
For how long?
But are we scared to take the ride?
Or dare to look inside?
I'm floating far away
I want to learn to walk with others as an equal
I want to treat the ones who love me with respect
I want to tell the world I'll give them all a piggy back
And try to take away my negative effect
I want to kiss the girl, I know I'll never lie again
I want to call my dad and tell him that I care
I want to let my brother know he's saved my life a thousand times
Throughout the years he's been the friend who's always there
Ever carried the weight of another?
For how long?
That's real
Still my favorite blue October. Friend of bill
