This song is one of my all time favorites! I miss Matt Hammitt, but I also love where Sanctus Real is today, but those Matt Hammitt days were there when I was suicidal. It honestly saddens me that people think this song is depressing. It is quite the opposite. In fact, this song right here has pulled me out of the deepest and darkest pits of depression I have ever been in. this song lets others who are struggling know they are not alone. And when I was on the verge of suicide in my teens and felt alone and like no one cared, Matt Hammitt and the boys were there to tell me otherwise. When I couldn't see any light, all I needed was to turn to God. "I'm not alright, that's why I need You!"
Amen! Absolutely love Sanctus Real! This is one of my all time favorites as well. When this song came out I was so close to God… recent years I’ve felt far from Him. Trying to get back. When I hear this song i feel the closeness that I did all those years ago if that makes sense.
I see people feel like this song is depressing. Maybe it is but It's our Christian walk in life. We are up but we can be down. I think this song is powerful because we have to be honest with ourselves. When we are broken we try to hide it from everyone including God. We have to be honest and admit we are broken and let him lead us.
April The vocalist said all the songs from that album came from a time when the band went thru hardships in their life and it was theraputic to write it.
this song is not supposed to be depressing lol. listen to the lyrics. he is expressing how he truly feels, and all he goes through leads him to God. and the pain pushes him to the Healer. when we are broken that's when Gods light shines the brightest. we are not strong on our own, but He is strong. Leaning and depending on God when we ourselves cannot do anything.
Truth is while GOD give us the OYSTER and his light!! Sometimes we walk the VALLEY!! Its a JOURNEY !!! IN the end, GOD WINS!! And will be VICTORS FOR CHRIST!!!
Lyrics: If weakness is a wound that no one wants to speak of Then "cool" is just how far we have to fall I am not immune, I only want to be loved But I feel safe behind the firewall Can I lose my need to impress? If you want the truth I need to confess [Chorus:] I'm not alright, I'm broken inside Broken inside And all I go through, it leads me to you It leads me to you Burn away the pride Bring me to my weakness 'Til everything I hide behind is gone And when I'm open wide with nothing left to cling to Only you are there to lead me on 'Cause honestly, I'm not that strong [Chorus] And I'll move And I'll move And I'll move Closer to you [x3] And I'll move And I'll move And I'll move [Chorus:] I'm not alright, I'm broken inside Broken inside I'm broken inside, broken inside And all I go through leads me to you Leads me to you I'm not alright I'm not alright I'm not alright That's why I need you
This song is about being honest about our weaknesses and struggles, and how they lead us to God, who is the only one who can heal us and make us whole. The singer confesses that he is not alright, that he is broken inside, and that he needs God's grace and love. He also asks God to burn away his pride and bring him to his weakness, so that he can be more dependent on Him and closer to Him. I relate to this song so much, because I know how hard it is to admit that we are not alright, that we have flaws and problems that we can't fix on our own. Sometimes we try to hide behind a firewall of coolness, impressiveness, or self-sufficiency, but deep down we know that we are not fooling anyone, especially not God. We need to be vulnerable and humble before Him, and let Him see us as we are, broken and in need of His mercy. I also love how this song reminds me that God is always there for me, even when I feel like I have nothing left to cling to. He is the one who leads me on, who gives me strength and hope, who makes me more like Him. He is the one who loves me unconditionally, even when I'm not alright. So I want to encourage you, my friends, to listen to this song and let it speak to your heart. Maybe you are going through some tough times right now, or maybe you have some hidden wounds that need healing. Whatever it is, know that you are not alone, and that God cares for you. He wants you to come to Him with all your troubles, and He will give you rest. He wants you to be honest with Him and with yourself, and He will give you grace. He wants you to move closer to Him, and He will give you joy. You don't have to pretend that you are alright, when you are not. You don't have to be ashamed of your brokenness, because God can use it for His glory. You don't have to be afraid of your weakness, because God's power is made perfect in it. You are not alright, but that's why you need God. And He is more than enough for you.
I used to replay this song over and over again at ages 14 to 15. I'm 25 years old today. Been long time since I last played it. Expresses how I felt when I was a teenager. Adopted parents and family didn't know about my teenage hard times. Nobody did but God did. Amen ❤️
Seeing all these comments this song has touched us all and helped us get through so much. I also use to play this song over and over again now im 30 and I'm just looking up all the songs I haven't listened to in awhile it's truly giving me these bittersweet tears of the good times and not so good times.
Sadly, I was suffering from serious clinical depression, and I would play this song all the time - why my girlfriend and family didn't see it...and help me get the help I needed, I don't know... Please listen to people, and notice changes in their behavior - and DON'T leave them, they may be hurting so much and they need help, and maybe they don't know how to get the help they need...
Just when you feel like you are the saddest, worst, person in the world… Sanctus Real changes your life forever through God with this anointed song of healing. Thank you Sanctus Real and God
I heard this song on a commercial for some church a few years back. I almost started crying. Then a few months after I saw the commercial I heard it on a church bus (When I was being forced to go) and I did cry. This song speaks to me but not in a religious sense. I do not believe in God. But I do believe in people.
I'm still listening in 2019. Such a powerful song that speaks every young people's journey, that it is sometimes it's ok to admit that we are not alright that's why we need Jesus.
Very sobering reminder that everyday we need Christ. It doesn't matter if you are rich or poor married with or without kids or single with or without kids or have or have not. Every one is going through something and we all are broken. The only way to be minded back together is through Christ and Christ alone. Christ has died for us and he's the only key to the father. He's the healer of all our struggles. Just take that mask off and swallow your pride and ego.
2020 still feels so fresh and true to the core!!! Nothing wrong honestly expressing our feelings to GOD.. HE knows how we react when we face.... ... .... .. ... ... .... .. This song speaks...
Such a refreshing song. Sometimes we put on best Sunday faces despite the fact that we are going through tribulations in life. There's something to be said for people who are honest with that fact that we are, indeed, not always alright.
Still relevant to my walk today, we are all broken inside, it’s just when we are willing to admit it that it allows us to be filled. I also love the story behind the song. Thanks for all you gave and sacrificed to lead us to the Lord. Thanks gents!
The sacrifice of God is a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart you will not despise oh Lord. ... Weep and howl and wail. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of the Lord and He will lift you up in due time. ... Take my yoke upon you, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
anxiety its in the bible. im not allright but somedays are better than other. panic attacks, suffering on earth , made mistakes in life but when i dont follow christ i feel myself slip further away and deeper into my pain. been broken inside for too long, all i have gone thru has lead me to you jesus christ is king. NOTW CHILD RIGHT HERE!
i used to be an athiest...that was a month ago. i whent to winter jam and heard these people. they preached and im inlove with Jesus now. I realise hes always there. not trying to change you but you should try out a concert.(: skillet and sanctus real are great bands.
Basically meaning we wear a mask to hide what's the real truth about us. Our pride and ego gets in the way keeping us under the fear of being vulnerable in which we as Christians put on a fake smile but really we are screaming for help on the inside but unfortunately no one will notice until we take our mask off but only God knows what's really going on. The hurt, the struggles, troubles, torment, sadness, madness and unrelentless pain all within.
@@chrisgentry2217 When I don't want to talk about my pain, I'm glad that God already knows, and is willing to listen and hear what I have to say. God is the only person I talk to about my pain, and what I feel and am going through. No one can heal me or comfort me, or actually listen to what I have to say like God does. I am so blessed to have a relationship with God. ❤🙏🙌
I was Digging around on Spotify for New Rock, To add to my Rock Playlist. And I found this Old Song. So Nostalgic, 13 or 14 year old me was Rocking out to this from I think the Wow Hits CD. Still an Awesome Song
This song really spoke to me when I became born again back in 2006 after living as an out of control addict. Now here I am 14 years later. My wife wants to get divorced. She doesn’t want to have anything to do with our adopted son so I am arranging for a couple who can’t have children to adopt him. I will most likely get less than 50% of custody with my daughters. I’m not alright. I’m broken inside.
@@prisonerohope6970 thank you. It’s been a year and a half since I wrote that previous comment. It’s been up and down. But I’m very thankful that Jesus has shown me a lot of love. I do have 50% custody of my daughters for which I’m very thankful. My son did get adopted by the couple I previously mentioned. And they are wonderful parents to him. And I have grown a lot myself.
@@MrSpeed-lt8gr I'm glad you have had this hard time. I know how it is to have your life seeming to fall apart. But then to get that opportunity to cling to Father as We walk through it together. To come out knowing he loves me more than I ever knew, nor could I have known, lest He let me learn that He is my everything. No one, but God and Christ, is Faithful!
Musica maravilhosa..é assim que nós sentimos as vezes, independente de ser ou não cristãos, passamos por momentos em que não nos sentimos bem...mas DEUS com sua maravilhosa graça, nos da a paz perfeita. :)
I am so broken.... I though I had made my way back to god and just like that it slipped away... Im trying to surrender my life to god but the problems of the world keep piling on thick... God I pray that you lay your hands on me and heal my life for me and my fiance... my life cant be complete without you in it.... Help me somebody... Help me Lord.....
It seems many people comment with the understanding that it isn't okay to be not alright. It's perfectly okay to be there for a time, but don't stay there, you don't belong there and the people who love you may not know you want to hear it, but I'd bet my life they believe you should get to a better place in your life even if you don't feel you deserve it, even if you didn't earn it, they want you to be at peace long enough that you can help those in the same boat you're in.
I love how this song still gets listened to all the time. :) It's been a really big one in my life, got me through a lot of stuff and thankful for how God used these guys.
the first time i saw this video, i thought that they were singing of a break up but then i remebered that they were a christian band and their songs were sometimes related to break ups but ended up coming back together with God in their lives. This song is almost like that maybe? I dont know but it is an AMAZING song!!!!
I agree about the interpretation. I believe that music speaks for itself when the melodies and lyrics are powerful and easy to relate to. I am a Christian, and some artists who are considered "secular" have songs that hold more meaning for me than the songs of many popular current "Christian" artists. I wish that songs and artists were not characterized because of their supposed genre or style. Forget the labels. If a song speaks to you and makes you feel alive, that's good enough for me.
Gideon Chapin its truthful and hopeful to me! It's nice to be honest and God is close to the broken hearted. That's brings me comfort. Still listening a decade later in 2017.
I can't hide my feelings and emotions from God. He knows them. I just need to confees them him and get closer. I'm not alright and I need God to help me.
No matter what people say on youtube the people who have been saved know there is a god and he is watching over them and everybody else even the ones saying that we are crazy. It doesn't matter what they say, we are crazy, crazy for our God and father. And that is all we need.
The fact of the matter is that when an artist who paints a portrait of what God is speaking into their soul.... so many people will assume and need explanation, or forget everything in Romans 14:10As a Christian, when I sit down and let this song enter my heart, it screams of the bond between us and Christ, and reminds me when I am sitting in the puddles of a storm, feeling helpless, lost and broken... that there is a time for that... and you must grow, learn and get back up and face the world, and the only way to do that is to Right the vision and make it clear..... Luke 9
Such a great song. I am no longer a Christian but this does remind me of the time I was and why I no longer am. Mainly being in a room full of suffering people was just not what I am into especially when I want to find my own path in life. I only felt chained down. Just because something may work for you it does not mean it works for everyone. It is important to accept others and yourself. Being in such a dark space for so long was hard but I connected with this song more so than many of the others as it did not shove bible verses down my throat. It gets down to the root of the feeling but I choose to not be codependent to any particular religion or any one person. The real answers lie within you. If Gods is everything I listen to my inner self. Sometimes I just don't believe in such thing a "God". Why are we so arrogant that we would say we are the embodiment of him or a reflection of him. Hell, why is it a "he" Off topic, sorry. When I was in church I felt I was on a treadmill going nowhere. I ask questions only to be greeted with a script from the good old bible that is full of contradictions or to be told that I should not ask questions. Why can't we just take personal responsibility for our own actions? Why can't we just stop hurting ourselves and others? Why can't we trust ourselves to make the right decisions? You know what, I am no longer broken. It is refreshing to know that I no longer cry to this song.
I love this music video. It continues to be one of my favorite powerful music videos ever since I saw it for the first time three years ago preparing for Winterfest.
For everyone saying that this is a negative song, maybe you should actually listen to the lyrics. In the song he explains the he is not alright because of hard things that happen but the precedes to say that being broken inside shows him how much he needs to come to Christ to fix his problems.
I needed this today! Sometimes when your the one that people look to when there's an issue, they forget that your dealing with your own feeling and emotions also. I know that with God I can do all thing. I know that He cares for me. I know what I know and I stand on His promises, but right now I'm just not all right.
I'm not too sure what it's supposed to be about either but what i got out of it is that most of the time, we are so busy with life and we're just trying to get by. God is going to put things in our paths, good and bad, to help us realize that we need to wake up and stop just going through the motions.
I heard this song for the first time in 2012 and as english is not my first language so... i had a hard time remembering the name of the band and the song, now 22 years old and speaking english i managed to find the writing "I'm not around, I'm broken by inside" and i managed to find it, even if i didn't remember the first line of the chorus well. My 12 year old self is very happy right now.
I remember doing a skit at my old church when I was in youth group. It was the first skit I’ve ever done. Im a shy person and am very quiet. So doing this I was nervous and thought I would mess up the whole thing. But it was the most amazing experience I’ve ever had. When I listen to this song it’s not depressing it’s actually uplifting to me. 😊 God is an Awesome God amen!
I have a theological education and I've been a pastor, but this song expresses my relationship with God better than any sermon I've preached. I hope that the more that people listen to this song, the more honest we can be as a church and as the people of God. We aren't perfect. We experience real brokenness and pain, but we have hope that things will get better if we rely on God. Not a double post...a re-edit
i so bad want to sing and create christian music...it so powerful within my heart and brings me back to a great feeling of peace!..:) i love you god!!!
+Sharon Partridge Then turn to Jesus. Surrender to Him completely. He will never leave you or forsake you. Indeed, it is Jesus Who says, "28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30, New King James Version. Lay all your burdens down at the foot of the cross. Jesus, God the Son, lived a morally perfect life, died on the cross in our place for our sins as the Bible says, was buried, and rose again on the third day of His death just like He predicted and the Bible says. All you have to do is surrender all to Him, so that He can give you the rest, hope, and abundant life you seek and need.
Nossa bons tempos, quando eu escutei essa musica no ano de 2007/2008, eu já curti essa banda de cara, boa música ainda no vocal do ex vocalista o Matt Hammitt, hoje revendo essa musica nos dias de hoje vejo que ela continua maravilhosa bons tempos de Christian Rock de 2007/2015 Deus transformou minha vida desde essa época. 🎸
i love it how the video shows someone as they're on their way to crashing....you're watching it waiting for the crash....but then their eyes are opened right before the crash comes. we can't see into the spiritual realm and see everything God pushes out of our path that could lead us astray. HE is always working behind the scenes for us!
This song is one of my all time favorites! I miss Matt Hammitt, but I also love where Sanctus Real is today, but those Matt Hammitt days were there when I was suicidal.

Glad you stuck around.
Jesus loves you.
I like SR more with Matt.
Matt and the guys have changed me so much. And I agree this song is NOT depressing! Matt called it “an anthem of authenticity” in his book Lead Me
@yeshulopez2021, I agree! Matt rocks!
Still a great song in 2024!
One of my favorite go-to Christian rock song since I was 14.
I see people feel like this song is depressing. Maybe it is but It's our Christian walk in life. We are up but we can be down. I think this song is powerful because we have to be honest with ourselves. When we are broken we try to hide it from everyone including God. We have to be honest and admit we are broken and let him lead us.
agree... we can only heel if we admit it
heal ^^
So True! And I agree.
oh wow that is so nice of you to say. I'm glad it brought light to your day :)
April The vocalist said all the songs from that album came from a time when the band went thru hardships in their life and it was theraputic to write it.
I love how honest these lyrics are.
We have to be honest with ourselves and face our human condition. This song talks about how we need God because without Him, we are broken and lost.
It's 2023, and still, I need this song. Life has been very tough.
this song is not supposed to be depressing lol. listen to the lyrics. he is expressing how he truly feels, and all he goes through leads him to God. and the pain pushes him to the Healer. when we are broken that's when Gods light shines the brightest. we are not strong on our own, but He is strong. Leaning and depending on God when we ourselves cannot do anything.

Thanks for ruining this song for me
@@mariap-xs1vt ...same...
It can be thought of both ways. One to God or some really messed up relationship between two people.
Lyrics:
If weakness is a wound that no one wants to speak of
Then "cool" is just how far we have to fall
I am not immune, I only want to be loved
But I feel safe behind the firewall
Can I lose my need to impress?
If you want the truth I need to confess
[Chorus:]
I'm not alright, I'm broken inside
Broken inside
And all I go through, it leads me to you
It leads me to you
Burn away the pride
Bring me to my weakness
'Til everything I hide behind is gone
And when I'm open wide with nothing left to cling to
Only you are there to lead me on
'Cause honestly, I'm not that strong
[Chorus]
And I'll move
And I'll move
And I'll move
Closer to you [x3]
And I'll move
And I'll move
And I'll move
[Chorus:]
I'm not alright, I'm broken inside
Broken inside
I'm broken inside, broken inside
And all I go through leads me to you
Leads me to you
I'm not alright
I'm not alright
I'm not alright
That's why I need you
Thanks for the lyrics
💛💛💛

This song is about being honest about our weaknesses and struggles, and how they lead us to God, who is the only one who can heal us and make us whole. The singer confesses that he is not alright, that he is broken inside, and that he needs God's grace and love. He also asks God to burn away his pride and bring him to his weakness, so that he can be more dependent on Him and closer to Him.

So I want to encourage you, my friends, to listen to this song and let it speak to your heart. Maybe you are going through some tough times right now, or maybe you have some hidden wounds that need healing. Whatever it is, know that you are not alone, and that God cares for you. He wants you to come to Him with all your troubles, and He will give you rest. He wants you to be honest with Him and with yourself, and He will give you grace. He wants you to move closer to Him, and He will give you joy.
You don't have to pretend that you are alright, when you are not. You don't have to be ashamed of your brokenness, because God can use it for His glory. You don't have to be afraid of your weakness, because God's power is made perfect in it.

Amazing how I thought of this song randomly today after years of not thinking about this band. Literally since high school. I'm 30yrs old now! ♥
I spent two hours looking for this song since I couldn’t remember the artist or the song, but I knew how the video looked like 🤦🏻♀️😭
Me too. Trying to remember the lyrics hahaha
Me too haha
I thought I was alone kk
My son told me earlier, "I'm not alright", and this song came flooding back. Used to listen to it when he was a baby, actually.
Hahaha did you describe the video on RUclips ?i can relate
Still love this song after 10 years

The little key switch in the bridge (the second “closer to you“) is my favourite part of this song

still a good song in 2016

I was Digging around on Spotify for New Rock, To add to my Rock Playlist. And I found this Old Song. So Nostalgic, 13 or 14 year old me was Rocking out to this from I think the Wow Hits CD. Still an Awesome Song
Haven't heard this song in over ten years. But it came to me today when I needed it most. Great message.
I keep coming back to this song because as a human I am broken inside.
This song really spoke to me when I became born again back in 2006 after living as an out of control addict. Now here I am 14 years later. My wife wants to get divorced. She doesn’t want to have anything to do with our adopted son so I am arranging for a couple who can’t have children to adopt him. I will most likely get less than 50% of custody with my daughters. I’m not alright. I’m broken inside.
I hope you have grown closer to God during such a trial. Love, Shandalay
@@prisonerohope6970 thank you. It’s been a year and a half since I wrote that previous comment. It’s been up and down. But I’m very thankful that Jesus has shown me a lot of love. I do have 50% custody of my daughters for which I’m very thankful. My son did get adopted by the couple I previously mentioned. And they are wonderful parents to him. And I have grown a lot myself.
@@MrSpeed-lt8gr I'm glad you have had this hard time. I know how it is to have your life seeming to fall apart. But then to get that opportunity to cling to Father as We walk through it together. To come out knowing he loves me more than I ever knew, nor could I have known, lest He let me learn that He is my everything. No one, but God and Christ, is Faithful!
Musica maravilhosa..é assim que nós sentimos as vezes, independente de ser ou não cristãos, passamos por momentos em que não nos sentimos bem...mas DEUS com sua maravilhosa graça, nos da a paz perfeita. :)
let us admit that we are broken so you can put us back together Lord
I am so broken.... I though I had made my way back to god and just like that it slipped away... Im trying to surrender my life to god but the problems of the world keep piling on thick... God I pray that you lay your hands on me and heal my life for me and my fiance... my life cant be complete without you in it.... Help me somebody... Help me Lord.....
It seems many people comment with the understanding that it isn't okay to be not alright. It's perfectly okay to be there for a time, but don't stay there, you don't belong there and the people who love you may not know you want to hear it, but I'd bet my life they believe you should get to a better place in your life even if you don't feel you deserve it, even if you didn't earn it, they want you to be at peace long enough that you can help those in the same boat you're in.
I love how this song still gets listened to all the time. :) It's been a really big one in my life, got me through a lot of stuff and thankful for how God used these guys.
the first time i saw this video, i thought that they were singing of a break up but then i remebered that they were a christian band and their songs were sometimes related to break ups but ended up coming back together with God in their lives. This song is almost like that maybe? I dont know but it is an AMAZING song!!!!
I agree about the interpretation. I believe that music speaks for itself when the melodies and lyrics are powerful and easy to relate to. I am a Christian, and some artists who are considered "secular" have songs that hold more meaning for me than the songs of many popular current "Christian" artists.
I wish that songs and artists were not characterized because of their supposed genre or style. Forget the labels. If a song speaks to you and makes you feel alive, that's good enough for me.
love sanctus real, but this song makes me so depressed! Reminds me of my self destructive state as a 14 year old but God came through
+Gideon Chapin well put sir, an annointed statement
Gideon Chapin its truthful and hopeful to me! It's nice to be honest and God is close to the broken hearted. That's brings me comfort. Still listening a decade later in 2017.
Ôoool
I can't hide my feelings and emotions from God. He knows them. I just need to confees them him and get closer. I'm not alright and I need God to help me.
An Atheist and still in 2024, this song's a winner.
had this song on my iPod for years. i listened to this song yesterday, now i haven't stopped listening to it yet. :D Thumbs up 4 this song!
COMO PUEDEN HABER MÁS VISTAS EN EL REGGEATON QUE EN ESTE HERMOSO VIDEO?
Porque el mundo hoy sólo quiere lo fácil
No matter what people say on youtube the people who have been saved know there is a god and he is watching over them and everybody else even the ones saying that we are crazy. It doesn't matter what they say, we are crazy, crazy for our God and father. And that is all we need.
The fact of the matter is that when an artist who paints a portrait of what God is speaking into their soul.... so many people will assume and need explanation, or forget everything in Romans 14:10As a Christian, when I sit down and let this song enter my heart, it screams of the bond between us and Christ, and reminds me when I am sitting in the puddles of a storm, feeling helpless, lost and broken... that there is a time for that... and you must grow, learn and get back up and face the world, and the only way to do that is to Right the vision and make it clear..... Luke 9
Such a great song. I am no longer a Christian but this does remind me of the time I was and why I no longer am. Mainly being in a room full of suffering people was just not what I am into especially when I want to find my own path in life. I only felt chained down. Just because something may work for you it does not mean it works for everyone. It is important to accept others and yourself. Being in such a dark space for so long was hard but I connected with this song more so than many of the others as it did not shove bible verses down my throat. It gets down to the root of the feeling but I choose to not be codependent to any particular religion or any one person. The real answers lie within you. If Gods is everything I listen to my inner self. Sometimes I just don't believe in such thing a "God". Why are we so arrogant that we would say we are the embodiment of him or a reflection of him. Hell, why is it a "he" Off topic, sorry. When I was in church I felt I was on a treadmill going nowhere. I ask questions only to be greeted with a script from the good old bible that is full of contradictions or to be told that I should not ask questions. Why can't we just take personal responsibility for our own actions? Why can't we just stop hurting ourselves and others? Why can't we trust ourselves to make the right decisions? You know what, I am no longer broken. It is refreshing to know that I no longer cry to this song.
By the Lord's Hand we become clean. Isn't that beautiful! (I know you have sinned but BY MY HAND you are saved)!
We are not as strong as we think and it shows us that we must always closer and closer to God.
Beautiful music!
I love this music video. It continues to be one of my favorite powerful music videos ever since I saw it for the first time three years ago preparing for Winterfest.
For everyone saying that this is a negative song, maybe you should actually listen to the lyrics. In the song he explains the he is not alright because of hard things that happen but the precedes to say that being broken inside shows him how much he needs to come to Christ to fix his problems.
I needed this today! Sometimes when your the one that people look to when there's an issue, they forget that your dealing with your own feeling and emotions also. I know that with God I can do all thing. I know that He cares for me. I know what I know and I stand on His promises, but right now I'm just not all right.
I'm not too sure what it's supposed to be about either but what i got out of it is that most of the time, we are so busy with life and we're just trying to get by. God is going to put things in our paths, good and bad, to help us realize that we need to wake up and stop just going through the motions.

Uma das melhores, parabéns Sanctus Real, sempre escuto suas canções ...
Olá! Lancei um vídeo sobre esta banda, e falo a respeito de um cd deles. Talvez goste. Fica o convite.
I heard this song for the first time in 2012 and as english is not my first language so... i had a hard time remembering the name of the band and the song, now 22 years old and speaking english i managed to find the writing "I'm not around, I'm broken by inside" and i managed to find it, even if i didn't remember the first line of the chorus well. My 12 year old self is very happy right now.
Life is unfair ! is gangam style deserves 2billion views ! while this otherworldy beautiful song can barely be known !
I struggle everyday with alcoholism this song helps me seen them in concert a few times
Be of good cheer! Our Savior is coming back soon to rescue us! Prepare!!
I'm fighting that battle myself. Thank you for giving me hope
This describes me in every way... I'm broken inside.

I remember doing a skit at my old church when I was in youth group. It was the first skit I’ve ever done. Im a shy person and am very quiet. So doing this I was nervous and thought I would mess up the whole thing. But it was the most amazing experience I’ve ever had. When I listen to this song it’s not depressing it’s actually uplifting to me. 😊 God is an Awesome God amen!
I wish these songs were still played.

It's okay not to be okay. Brokenness is a perfect place to be. That is where we can see the need of Him clearer. #thankfulforeverything
Power 88.3 in Port Huron! Listened to this all through middle school across the way in Sarnia, Ontario.
I have a theological education and I've been a pastor, but this song expresses my relationship with God better than any sermon I've preached. I hope that the more that people listen to this song, the more honest we can be as a church and as the people of God. We aren't perfect. We experience real brokenness and pain, but we have hope that things will get better if we rely on God. Not a double post...a re-edit
Exactly! I'm a pastor, too. And I think the same.
2020 - definitely not feeling alright this year haha
I'm no longer a Christian, but I riotously loved this song when it was on JCTV a decade ago!
i so bad want to sing and create christian music...it so powerful within my heart and brings me back to a great feeling of peace!..:) i love you god!!!

Thanks to Lord, i found this evening two songs from Sanctus Real, both are just in time, perfect for me. That is the other one.

This just reminds me of my depression and that all my friends throw me away etc.
+Sharon Partridge Then turn to Jesus. Surrender to Him completely. He will never leave you or forsake you. Indeed, it is Jesus Who says, "28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30, New King James Version. Lay all your burdens down at the foot of the cross. Jesus, God the Son, lived a morally perfect life, died on the cross in our place for our sins as the Bible says, was buried, and rose again on the third day of His death just like He predicted and the Bible says. All you have to do is surrender all to Him, so that He can give you the rest, hope, and abundant life you seek and need.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you and this song so much. ❤
Nossa bons tempos, quando eu escutei essa musica no ano de 2007/2008, eu já curti essa banda de cara, boa música ainda no vocal do ex vocalista o Matt Hammitt, hoje revendo essa musica nos dias de hoje vejo que ela continua maravilhosa bons tempos de Christian Rock de 2007/2015 Deus transformou minha vida desde essa época. 🎸

Anyone notice the male driver is the same actor from the PaperThin Hymn Music Video by Anberlin? 😏😏
Right now I’m so broken from the things life has been handing me. Praise God that Jesus is always there for me! The broken times leads me to Him!
i love it how the video shows someone as they're on their way to crashing....you're watching it waiting for the crash....but then their eyes are opened right before the crash comes. we can't see into the spiritual realm and see everything God pushes out of our path that could lead us astray. HE is always working behind the scenes for us!
I used to be in love with Matt when I was like 11 years old lol
I still wish Matt Hammitt stayed in Sanctus Real.
Michael Pritchett everyday. They came to be one of my favorites and then he up and leaves ! 😭🙃
Timothy J. Roberts Yeah but Dustin Lolli’s still a good singer too.
