I actually do have an idea of how lucky I am because I've seen my friends with only one parent and how hurt they are because of it. It makes me reflect on how blessed I am to have two parents. I wish I could help you if your hurt but I don't know how. I'm sorry
exactly .. My friends who say .. "Oh my mom and dad just got me a new phone , but they could of gotten me a better one😒" ..i sit there like .. my dads dead ...id do anything to get him back .. while your PARENTS are trying so hard..my mom works all day and night to make sure i get dinner at least and clothes on my back .. Yours dont got a problem buying you new stuff and grocerious? .. my mother struggles getting me a pair of shoes each YEAR not week or month .. Year..if im lucky
The feelings a daughter is supposed to have for there dad is something I wish I had but I don't feel that for my dad. All I feel is pure sadness of being unloved and abandoned
Even though I miss my dad, I am glad that my mom stepped out from an abusive relationship. However, my mom's relationship with my stepfather right now isn't great either 🤷♀️ They fight nearly everyday. I am just waiting to finish college so that I can move out and live alone by myself. Most parents don'tunderstand that they're one of the main reasons for their child's mental issues. My parents abusive relationship, my mom's poor decision making and parents negligence towards made me an unhealthy Introvert. I used to suffer from depression but now I am hard as a stone, emotionless towards humans! Honestly, I don't believe in LOVE as well (romance). I became more attached to animals but their loss made me grief even more on the inside. My heart and my love is only for my dear pets and music~ my full time healer! To anyone going through a hard time, learn to be your own bestfriend. At the end of the day you can only trust your own self, and when everybody leaves, you have just you on your own. So learn to LOVE YOURSELF because you matter the most!!
*It sucks that the first and only man that broke my heart was my father* EDIT: This is the first time that I got more than 1k likes in my comment but I can’t help but feel sad knowing that the number of likes that my comment got, represents the number of people that has gone through the same pain as I have. When I wrote that comment, everything was so bad. The reason why my father broke my heart was because of his drug addiction. Last year, he became worse. But you know what, we decided to put him on a rehab center and I’m proud to say that he’s doing good and I can see the progress (he’s been staying there for less than 2 months) I’m praying everyday for his recovery. Now, I can say to everyone that can relate to me, to just hold on. Hold on to the people you love, and to the love you had for your fathers (or mothers). One day, you’ll eventually find the reason why everything happened. Forgiveness is also important so that you don’t have to carry your pain and anger. Some might find it hard to forgive but I know that one day, you will and it feels good to always forgive because you’re not just doing that for the person who hurt you but for yourself. So you can free yourself and move forward with life. I’m sorry if this is too long but I’m sending virtual hugs 🤗 to everyone.😇❤️
Same.... My father has done many things.... He's alive but my parents fight and this Christmas they fought for 2-3 hours. My little brother isn't really that young to remember this but, he was crying he is lucky he has someone too comfort him when my parents fight... When I was littler before he was born they fought almost every night/day.... They just usually fought when my big brother was gone.... But when he was there he usually tried stopping it and butting in I usually cried the whole time hey fought when I was littler..... I'm scared for my mom because her heart beats faster than a normal heartbeat and she can have an heart attack easier...... And when I have a bad day at school I try too tell them but they tell me to suck it up.... When your crying silently in your room wishing someone would come in and comfort you.....
Mine too he cheated on my mom and my mom left me live in the same city he named one of his daughters after me her name in Bianca he give then a rich lavish life while I am here poor
Rose Rodriguez my dad stopped talking me a few months ago..I’m not sure why..but he only talks to me when he’s with his friends or when he drinks..he puts his attention on my younger brother and somewhat my elder brother..and the fact of that just hurts me..the fact that me and him were so close..it just.. hurts
I just thank God for having such a great dad and I pray every night for those who doesn't have one be strong, don't worry, someone will give you attention and love, I promise
@@Nathan.617 not all people who have both their parents are lucky and I'm really tired of seeing that because you don't know what we actually go through. I'm sorry about u and ur mom and I wish nothing but the best for u but PLEASE don't say that
Rosy Renthlei Well, we will never know until we put ourselves into someone else’s shoes. I knew my father, and I’m at least glad I actually know who my father is and I couldn’t imagine the pain of not knowing. It also depends on the person, my friend doesn’t know if her stepdad is her dad or if the man she thought was her dad is her dad. She could easily find out, but she doesn’t want to know.
I relate to this song in do many ways, my father may not be dead but I've never known what it was like to have a father. I wish I had a dad that loved and cared about me. Demis music gets me in the feels and makes me think about my past, and what I want in the future. If you're reading this and you have a father that's there feel lucky. some people don't know what that feels like.
This song makes my soul cry. I currently live with my both parents. I can say that my dad made a lot of mistakes, and it was a very hard process to forgive him. But I learned that forgiveness comes when you understand that there is nothing to forgive, but something to understand. There are things that mark us and makes us to act in some way in life. Let's understand that the one who hurts another was also hurt before. Who didn't receive love, can't give it either. It is liberating. Thanks Dad, i love you, today and always.
My dad committed suicide today, he was an abusive drunk but he was still my dad...at this point I feel like I wasn't the best daughter. I know in time that'll heal. I love you dad.
My friends actually realise how lucky they are to have both of their parents in their lives, well after hearing my story... They now know why I hate my surname. They now know why I don’t have a father registered on the school system. They now know why I start to cry when anyone asks about my father. They now know why I hate people referring to me as my surname. I thank them for understanding despite them not knowing what it’s like.
MY GOD!! This was my 1st time listening to this song, and I couldn't stop my tears... As soon as the song started, I began to cry and my dad is not dead but i can relate a bit... But wow this just tells me how emotional Demi was when recording the song wow...
I know. I never got to say goodbye. I lost him to suicide/alcoholism. I can't even remember the sound of his voice anymore, and it breaks my heart. It was 8 days before my 18th birthday, and even though there were many, many hard times growing up, I wish that he was here. I'm an adult now, and I know our relationship would have changed, and I want so badly for him to be able to see me now. I've come so far since he last heard from me, and I've learned to forgive him, but it's too late now.
Dont ever think that he hates you ..i promise that its not you ..i have learned from experience that fathers are not always the best to there kids ..but thats because there not the best to themselfs so we just have to except them for who they are and love them anyway ..❤
True I just sometimes think that I was just never worthy of the fathers love and now every time I see my friends with their dad all I can do is start to cry on the inside
Dear dad, Your 10 year anniversary is coming up in 2 weeks. I was only 6 when you left. The drugs and alcohol took over your ability to become the best father you can be, it consumed you. I understand you were troubled, but it hurts to know you chose it over us. I only saw you once a week, if even that. I used to look outside the window and wait for hours for you to come, but I will never forget my favorite memories. I miss when you used to throw me up in the air and catch me in your arms or when you would blast and sing along to your favorite song in the car. I also remember singing to you in your hospital bed while you were in a coma, and I knew you could hear me because a tear drop fell from your left eye. I miss hearing your voice because now I can't remember what it sounds like, or your laugh. With that being said, Dad, I'm sorry sometimes I hate you for doing what you did, but I forgive you. I know you wanted to be a better father but you were taken from us too quickly. I will never forgive myself for not being there for your last breaths, for not saying a final goodbye. You have missed so many milestones and now I will never have a daddy daughter dance, never be able to sing in the car with you again, never have you walk me down the aisle. I wish I could go back and hear your voice one last time and tell you how much I love you and say a proper goodbye. Now all I have are a few pictures and 3 T-shirts to remember you by. I love you, Dad. I hope you get this message.
Who the hell is chopping onions?? My eyes are leaking.😭😭😭 I'm sorry for your loss!! 😥 I can't imagine how hard that was on you. I wish you all the happiness in the world! :].
Man this song really hits home for me, even if my dad isn't dead he wasn't really there for me the way a father should. Great song though. Very raw with such emotion and power behind each word. Love Demi💚
I grew up without someone to call “Dad.” He came back and left again. I am broken and I’m so scared because my own dad didn’t love me, how could anyone else? He left me, my brother, and Mom alone for drugs and alcohol. It kills me inside.
my dad is gone. he left when i was eight, and i am twelve now.... February 16th, he died of asthma. now hes gone forever. if you have a father, stress to to him how much u love him. you'll regret it if you dont.
my dad has done nothing intentionally to hurt me. ever. He's never hit me or cussed at me or slapped me, but i get mad at him sometimes we have our little fights, but he has cancer and may not have much time so this is the song i dedicate to him. everybody, whether you have a dad or not, should appreciate this song and how beautiful it is.
I haven’t spoken to my birth father in several years, don’t even know where he’s living at this point, or even what he’s up to. I can’t even listen to this song without sobbing, it hits too close! But I’m so grateful to have my step dad, he’s become my dad!
I love this song because even though my dad is still "alive" he's not. I can relate to this song so much. I love him, but I hate him so much more than I care to admit. This song is one of my favorites by her.
+Jill Harris i totally agree. Demi is my idol. Not because i wanna be a singer, nor an actress, or becuase i wanna be famous. she is my idol because she has been through so much but even because of that, he has stood strong and now she is what she always wanted to be. she has fallen so much and stood up. I wanna be like her because i wanna stand up when i fall. i think she is a role model and i agree with you.
guys, if you’re dad is still there for you take as much time you can with him. some of us never had a father growing up. i never had a dad growing up and it’s just been my mom for 13 years already. you don’t know how lucky y’all are to have a father to love you enough for stay in your life.
I’m sorry about your father... it’s hard being a single mother. I know the feeling. My parents aren’t together anymore. But I tried to spend moments with my dad. Even if he has other kids with another woman . Stay strong.
I never met my dad Apparently he left my mom and me Then my mom left me And I lived with my papa tell he died of cancer 6 years ago Now I live with my god mother
my father passed away when I was 5 it really hurt and it still hurts its only me my mom my sister and my 3 brothers its really hard but where still getting threw it we miss him but we all know he is still in are heart always and forever
I am not a Demi fan, but this was stunning. She has a set of Aguilerian pipes, thats for sure! This song was also so emotional and raw.. it gave me goosebumps. I've just spent the last hour stalking her instagram, and she is so beautiful... inside and out... I appreciate everything she stands for... she is such a strong woman... much respect for Demi
Here i am crying Why? Because I'm sad and hate my own father? Because I tried to keep him in my life but he was never there? Damn the biggest heart break is when your own dad break your Own heart. I can relate to this song so much he is not dead but mentally and physically for me he is. it's sad how the years pass and how I always have a bad relationship with my mom instead of appreciating her I always used to protect his name now that I open my eyes and see everything mom is the one that was there for every hospital appointment when I was sick and if we didn't have enough food she will always give me and my sister but she would've starve her self for us to be better I fell sorry for my self and mom I'm trying to give the world to her and not be another one as my father I wanna be a better person day by day for my mom and grandpa
Tiiny.Official I’m so sorry you had to go though that but I’m glad you ended up on the right track my sister was on a bad path for all my life but finally she put her head on right and started a new chapter in her life
I never saw you guys comments till now. You guys keep your head up and I'm glad people got in the right path. Life is hard but indeed it only gets better but that's only if you choose to. 💕 it's hard but you all got this!
Ugh. This is like she took a page out of my jour am and turned it into this amazing song. This is exactly my situation and I just love Demi so much for releasing this song.
Perfect song..perfect timing for my journey to healing from unresolved childhood trauma. Prayers for all those affected by someone with substance abuse/ mental health issues.
Amy Walker stay strong❤️ I haven't seen my dad in 5 years, so I know what your going through. I just want you to know that it will get better, and we are here for you❤️
my dad is in the hospital right now with phenomena, kidney failure, and dehydration and they lost a pulse and are trying to get it back. i can't stop crying cause he wasn't the best dad but I still loved him cause I know he had reasons for being bitter. I'm only 13 and I'm so scared of him leaving me for good.
her dad was alcoholic, mine was a drug abuser. I understand exactly how she feels. You can have people all around you that love you, but there is still this missing piece. Counting the days till you see them again and wondering if they are gonna be normal when you finally get the chance to see them. The awkwardness that reigns over because you havent seen them in such a long time and they dont know who you are because theyve never been in your life. Dont worry Demi there are other people here just like you and without these songs wouldnt be able to express it. so thank you
My dad was abusive and did a lot of things to me. I have survived that situation at the age 3-6 and I'm about to turn 17. I truly did survive this and came out on the positive side of things
I'm so glad that my dad realized how to take care of his kids before we got too old to remember. He was just new to parenting and made mistakes. He's now a great dad and I love him so much
my dad was a good dad. he loved me and my brother like no father ive ever seen. i loved him so much i did what i possibly could do for him. he suddenly changed. .. he got on some hard drugs and he changed completely it hurts just talking about it. the worst part of my life was seeing a person i loved so much turn into a complete monster... that will forever have me broken..
I love an alcoholic and I am carrying his child. My heart aches because this song will most likely be her and her fathers relationship. Hes more in love with alcohol then his own daughters..
I lost my dad on 10/9/2017. that day i got call from my sister (she took care of my father which is paralysed because of major stroke), and she told me "we dont have him anymore, he's gone." i felt like im dying too. i miss my dad. al-fatihah to my dad, abdul halim bin mat.
i have my father in my life. my mother died when i was 13. He’s so heartbroken and hurting inside. he mistreats everyone in his life. he is so bipolar and a part of me blames him for my mental heath issues. we got in a fight earlier today and i’ve screamed this song from the bottom of my lungs all day. i love him...but he’s brought me so much pain in my childhood. I’m thankful for every good thing he does for me, even if he doesn’t believe so..
I’m 20 and now have a daughter of my own, she’s two weeks old, and I couldn’t ever imagine putting her through what either of my parents did to me. Sometimes they leave because they aren’t worthy of your affections kiddos. Don’t be sad that they’re gone, be grateful they walked away because of they can walk away so easily, imagine how shitty it would be if they stuck around, when they clearly didn’t care enough in the first place.
my father was never there for us... i hated him with a burning passion. he died when i was 14 from lung cancer... but growing into a young adult taught me how to forgive.. but ill never have love for him. i blamed him when i was raped i thought if he was there that none of this would ever happen to me.. i tried to take my own life a couple of times when i was 16.. i was honestly done living a horrible life.. but i thought about my mother.. the one who would have to bury me.. her baby, her youngest child.. i thought about her health.. her heart isnt doing well.. she would die if i ever did that.. i didnt want that so i didnt but i was still in a deep depression.. until i turned 18, i found the love of my life.. my family loves him and we're moving into our first house together in nov, but yeah i wished i had a father who loved me...
Same here.. I felt that it was my fault coz countless times my mom had me felt it that way..and my father married somebody else and he had 2kids taking care and loving them so much, never ever had a chance to get close or even see me that makes me think he doesn't want me any single effort to know me was my only wishful thinking back then and it really breaks my heart up until now.. 🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭And at this age of mine I'm still longing for him but sadl he passed away even before I knew his whereabouts.. 🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭
My dad just started to leave me and my two sisters when we were little for drugs. He traded everything he had for those drugs. And now it's 14 years later, I am 15 and I understand why he left. I would do everything and anything just have my father back. But he chose them over us. His loss.
it's our loss 😭 Coz we care we think bout itt... but our dads just don't care all rhey wann is to be lost in their drinkss... all they want is their addiction.. if they cared we wouldn't have been in this statee..
My dad died when I was 3 years old and Ivan fully relate to this song. I love Demi and her amazing, touching songs. She's so inspirational and has an amazing voice. I hope one day I can cover this somewhere.
I just wanna say that if you have a present father that loves you and is here...Please realize how lucky you are- I just turned 13 and my dad said he didn’t want me anymore about 2 months before my birthday. I’m blessed to have an amazing step dad that actually loves me 🥺❤️
This is amazing a lot of people look at me crazy because I listen to Demi but there is a lot of things people learn new bout a person this song reminds me of my dad he left my life for 17 yrs missed a lot we do speak but our relationship is not strong
I pray for a stronger relationship with my dad every day. He’s physically here and I’m thankful for that… but mentally and emotionally, he’s just not there. 💔
This song is so heart breaking. So many kids are like “oh I can deal with it it can’t be that bad I would have the other parent anyways” or “stop being dramatic you’re fine” like kids don’t care these days. They don’t care abt what they have until it’s ripped away from them. I lost my dad when I was 6 and I’m 14 now and it still hurts knowing that I never got to say goodbye. I didn’t get to hug him or tell him I loved him. Everyone should really take a look at what they have. Bc you never know when it will be gone.
I hope you see this. I hope you things got better after you wrote this comment a year ago . If not, I hope it made you strong and independent. I'll keep you and more people like you in my prayers from nowp on. Wish u best
My father died from an overdose two days ago. Demi, you’ve helped me cope in more ways than one with your music... you helped me with my relationship with him while he was here and this song is helping me cope with his death. I wish he knew that I wanted the best for him and wanted him to get better so we could have a relationship. We were so close and he had gotten so better. But he relapsed. And my heart is shattered.
+Alyssa Graves Ikr same- sometimes I end up taking it for granted that I've got such a great dad but then I think about those that dnt hav a father to support them like I hav, I feel so sorry for them :(
This song makes me think about my dad... My dad is alive and has never been there for me. He drinks and does drugs, which doesn't help his bipolar disorder. I wish that I had a dad or father figure that was there for me... ☹️😞😥
Father, I'm gonna say thank you Even if I'm still hurt Oh, I'm gonna say bless you I wanna mean those words Always wished you the best I, I prayed for your peace Even if you started this This whole war in me You did your best or did you? Sometimes I think I hate you I'm sorry, dad, for feelin' this I can't believe I'm sayin' it I know you were a troubled man I know you never got the chance To be yourself, to be your best I hope that heaven's given you A second chance Father, I'm gonna say thank you Even if I don't understand Oh, you left us alone I guess that made me who I am Always wished you the best I, I, I pray for your peace Even if you started this This whole war in me You did your best or did you? Sometimes I think I hate you I'm sorry, dad, for feelin' this I can't believe I'm sayin' it I know you were a troubled man I know you never got the chance To be yourself, to be your best I hope that heaven's given you You did your best or did you? Sometimes I think I hate you I'm sorry, dad, for feelin' this I can't believe I'm sayin' it I know you were a troubled man I know you never got the chance To be yourself, to be your best I hope that heaven's given you A second chance
This song! This is my first time hearing it and it opened up some feelings I had suppressed. My alcohol father killed himself after my baby brother died. And I always wondered why I wasnt enough to make him stay alive for me and my other brother. And then I turned into the alcoholic. (4 years sober now) I feel like it's all his fault at times and at other times I know I couldn't survive without my son. Thank you Demi for a song I didn't even know I needed 🥰
I lay here in bed at 10pm crying my eyes out as I wish things could’ve been different between my dad and I. He passed 4 weeks ago and his birthday would’ve been tomorrow. I thought I wouldn’t care if I lost him since I’ve lost him so many times, but he always came back but now he can never come back. My heart hurts more than I thought it would. I haven’t seen the man in nine years but I always had hope he would turn his life around. But now all I feel is sadness, I want my dad. I will always think of him in a good light though, the handsome man who married my mom. I wish you a second chance dad……until then R.I.P
I just lost my father on the 19th. We didn’t speak more than five times in over ten years. These lyrics hit hard right now. I always wished him the best in life. My heart breaks that I didn’t make amends with him sooner. I’m sorry dad. I love you. Rest in Paradise with my sweet brother.
I currently live with my father right now with my sister and him. My mother is in the picture but I don’t live with her but I still see her almost every day. I’m listening to this song right now because I’m in tears crying for him because he has been diagnosed with the virus. Growing up I would blame him for my depression, I would always think that it was his fault for causing my depression. He would Yell at me for my things I really didn’t do or small stupid things that I did do. But now that I know that he’s in the hospital on oxygen tank and is in critical condition I can’t stop crying. So father I’m really praying for you to make it back, to be healthy like you were before. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
My two oldest girls have a step dad since my oldest was 2 she almost 17 but now looking back I thank her bio dad for leaving them cause they are great kids and still have a father. The youngest is 14 she desperately has wanted a relationship with him but he acts like a big kid I offered my full support to him to make things work for my daughter. He just doesn't get it and it sucks to see how hurt and bitter she is. She very talented some absent parents don't realize what a huge impact it can be on a child's emotions. Yes she has a wonderful step dad but she just wants both of them and she truly deserves it. Thank u demi she loves ur music. As do I thank you!

Kids who have both of their parents have no idea how truly lucky they are.
unless they abuse you
+Jamilette Chavez you just had to be THAT guy/girl
I actually do have an idea of how lucky I am because I've seen my friends with only one parent and how hurt they are because of it. It makes me reflect on how blessed I am to have two parents. I wish I could help you if your hurt but I don't know how. I'm sorry
exactly .. My friends who say .. "Oh my mom and dad just got me a new phone , but they could of gotten me a better one😒" ..i sit there like .. my dads dead ...id do anything to get him back .. while your PARENTS are trying so hard..my mom works all day and night to make sure i get dinner at least and clothes on my back .. Yours dont got a problem buying you new stuff and grocerious? .. my mother struggles getting me a pair of shoes each YEAR not week or month .. Year..if im lucky
not necessarily. ...
The feelings a daughter is supposed to have for there dad is something I wish I had but I don't feel that for my dad. All I feel is pure sadness of being unloved and abandoned
I trully see you.
Same.
Turn to jesus hes the real father who never lets you down.
Me too🥺
You're not alone 💔
No man can break your heart like your own father.
the man who was supposed to love you more than anything. 💔
I agree
🥂A toast to the girls who had their hearts broken by someone who we thought they’d never hurt us🥂
🥂 cheers 🥺💔😔
Even though I miss my dad, I am glad that my mom stepped out from an abusive relationship. However, my mom's relationship with my stepfather right now isn't great either 🤷♀️
They fight nearly everyday. I am just waiting to finish college so that I can move out and live alone by myself.
Most parents don'tunderstand that they're one of the main reasons for their child's mental issues. My parents abusive relationship, my mom's poor decision making and parents negligence towards made me an unhealthy Introvert. I used to suffer from depression but now I am hard as a stone, emotionless towards humans! Honestly, I don't believe in LOVE as well (romance). I became more attached to animals but their loss made me grief even more on the inside.
My heart and my love is only for my dear pets and music~ my full time healer!
To anyone going through a hard time, learn to be your own bestfriend. At the end of the day you can only trust your own self, and when everybody leaves, you have just you on your own. So learn to LOVE YOURSELF because you matter the most!!
🍾🥂 cheers
Cheers 🥂
My father just said to me and mom, the words which any woman shouldn't hear. :(
*It sucks that the first and only man that broke my heart was my father*
EDIT:
This is the first time that I got more than 1k likes in my comment but I can’t help but feel sad knowing that the number of likes that my comment got, represents the number of people that has gone through the same pain as I have. When I wrote that comment, everything was so bad. The reason why my father broke my heart was because of his drug addiction. Last year, he became worse. But you know what, we decided to put him on a rehab center and I’m proud to say that he’s doing good and I can see the progress (he’s been staying there for less than 2 months) I’m praying everyday for his recovery. Now, I can say to everyone that can relate to me, to just hold on. Hold on to the people you love, and to the love you had for your fathers (or mothers). One day, you’ll eventually find the reason why everything happened. Forgiveness is also important so that you don’t have to carry your pain and anger. Some might find it hard to forgive but I know that one day, you will and it feels good to always forgive because you’re not just doing that for the person who hurt you but for yourself. So you can free yourself and move forward with life. I’m sorry if this is too long but I’m sending virtual hugs 🤗 to everyone.😇❤️
Facts
Proud to be a Lewser and a Weirdo don't be so hard on your self i 💘 u all ready knapsta7
christine parfitt thank you. I really appreciate that.
Don’t be that hard on yourself ❤️
Like she said Yes and I’m giving myself the freedom to forgive.
It’s UNREAL how true the lyrics are for me personally. EVERY SINGLE WORD!!!!
Larry 69 💯🥺🥺🥺
My father hasn't passed away but this song really goes to him, he never hit me but he has emotionally torn me to shreds.
I know how you feel..
Same except for the hit part
Same.... 😔
Same.... My father has done many things.... He's alive but my parents fight and this Christmas they fought for 2-3 hours. My little brother isn't really that young to remember this but, he was crying he is lucky he has someone too comfort him when my parents fight... When I was littler before he was born they fought almost every night/day.... They just usually fought when my big brother was gone.... But when he was there he usually tried stopping it and butting in I usually cried the whole time hey fought when I was littler..... I'm scared for my mom because her heart beats faster than a normal heartbeat and she can have an heart attack easier...... And when I have a bad day at school I try too tell them but they tell me to suck it up.... When your crying silently in your room wishing someone would come in and comfort you.....
same...
sitting here crying cause I just poured my heart out to my dad and he didn't take one word serious
JustAnother Fairytale I feel this so hard
I'm sorry I feel the pain
Sitting here crying because this song is completely relatable. I'm not sorry for him, but I am at the same time.
I understand I hope you have strength to feel ease from his burdens
JustAnother Fairytale it's ok because we are here for you
The first man who broke my heart was my father 😔
Yeah, mine too.
Mine too he cheated on my mom and my mom left me live in the same city he named one of his daughters after me her name in Bianca he give then a rich lavish life while I am here poor
😶🙌
Rose Rodriguez my dad stopped talking me a few months ago..I’m not sure why..but he only talks to me when he’s with his friends or when he drinks..he puts his attention on my younger brother and somewhat my elder brother..and the fact of that just hurts me..the fact that me and him were so close..it just.. hurts
Blanca Rodriguez sorry to hear that, you gotta prove to him you’ll make it threw with or without him hun you got this
i can literally hear her cry omg
ohibò same
I was crying with her.
I just thank God for having such a great dad
and I pray every night for those who doesn't have one
be strong, don't worry, someone will give you attention and love, I promise
Words I needed to hear my whole life... Thank you... 😭💞
Thank you so much❤️😢
@Craig Bob exactly
Thank youuu. I need this right now 😢😭💔
@@Nathan.617 not all people who have both their parents are lucky and I'm really tired of seeing that because you don't know what we actually go through. I'm sorry about u and ur mom and I wish nothing but the best for u but PLEASE don't say that
Having a Father that’s available sometimes but emotionally Neglects you can leave you Scarred. 😞😭
I feel you
When she says " I'm sorry, Dad, for saying this" and you never even had anyone to call Dad..
relateable...
So true...
i think it may be better for not having a person to call Dad more than having a father who didn't love even his biological sons and daughters
@@rosyrenthlei2315 it is
Rosy Renthlei Well, we will never know until we put ourselves into someone else’s shoes. I knew my father, and I’m at least glad I actually know who my father is and I couldn’t imagine the pain of not knowing. It also depends on the person, my friend doesn’t know if her stepdad is her dad or if the man she thought was her dad is her dad. She could easily find out, but she doesn’t want to know.
I relate to this song in do many ways, my father may not be dead but I've never known what it was like to have a father. I wish I had a dad that loved and cared about me. Demis music gets me in the feels and makes me think about my past, and what I want in the future. If you're reading this and you have a father that's there feel lucky. some people don't know what that feels like.
"May not be dead"
Well that hit in the heart 💔
This song makes my soul cry. I currently live with my both parents.
I can say that my dad made a lot of mistakes, and it was a very hard process to forgive him. But I learned that forgiveness comes when you understand that there is nothing to forgive, but something to understand.
There are things that mark us and makes us to act in some way in life. Let's understand that the one who hurts another was also hurt before. Who didn't receive love, can't give it either. It is liberating.
Thanks Dad, i love you, today and always.
My dad committed suicide today, he was an abusive drunk but he was still my dad...at this point I feel like I wasn't the best daughter. I know in time that'll heal. I love you dad.
Jasmine Mackus I am so sorry for your loss❤️
+Jasmine Mackus I'm so sorry for your loss
I'm sorry you're going through this. But please remember that none of this is your fault. Stay strong. xx
Jasmine Mackus I'm so sorry for your loss I will pray for you
bless you
It hurts me so much when in hear this Song. She has been through so much and it's just so amazing how strong she is.
My friends actually realise how lucky they are to have both of their parents in their lives, well after hearing my story... They now know why I hate my surname.
They now know why I don’t have a father registered on the school system.
They now know why I start to cry when anyone asks about my father.
They now know why I hate people referring to me as my surname.
I thank them for understanding despite them not knowing what it’s like.
MY GOD!! This was my 1st time listening to this song, and I couldn't stop my tears... As soon as the song started, I began to cry and my dad is not dead but i can relate a bit... But wow this just tells me how emotional Demi was when recording the song wow...
Sameee
Same my dad isn't dead either but I can also relate
EnchantinqJamie same
EnchantinqJamie 1. We have the same beginning of our names. 2: mine is though.
Josmy Hernandez my dad died so kinda can relate
I would give anything for another hug from him
I know. I never got to say goodbye. I lost him to suicide/alcoholism. I can't even remember the sound of his voice anymore, and it breaks my heart. It was 8 days before my 18th birthday, and even though there were many, many hard times growing up, I wish that he was here. I'm an adult now, and I know our relationship would have changed, and I want so badly for him to be able to see me now. I've come so far since he last heard from me, and I've learned to forgive him, but it's too late now.
Me too ..
Same...
Me too 😔
Sameee
I get jealous when i see girls with their fathers...my father hate me🤷♀️😢
I know exactly how you feel!!!
Keep spirit,, u not alone
Ayas tips my dad never loved me he always hit me and stuff like that and I wish I had a better father than that
Dont ever think that he hates you ..i promise that its not you ..i have learned from experience that fathers are not always the best to there kids ..but thats because there not the best to themselfs so we just have to except them for who they are and love them anyway ..❤
True I just sometimes think that I was just never worthy of the fathers love and now every time I see my friends with their dad all I can do is start to cry on the inside
Dear dad,
Your 10 year anniversary is coming up in 2 weeks. I was only 6 when you left. The drugs and alcohol took over your ability to become the best father you can be, it consumed you. I understand you were troubled, but it hurts to know you chose it over us. I only saw you once a week, if even that. I used to look outside the window and wait for hours for you to come, but I will never forget my favorite memories. I miss when you used to throw me up in the air and catch me in your arms or when you would blast and sing along to your favorite song in the car. I also remember singing to you in your hospital bed while you were in a coma, and I knew you could hear me because a tear drop fell from your left eye. I miss hearing your voice because now I can't remember what it sounds like, or your laugh. With that being said, Dad, I'm sorry sometimes I hate you for doing what you did, but I forgive you. I know you wanted to be a better father but you were taken from us too quickly. I will never forgive myself for not being there for your last breaths, for not saying a final goodbye. You have missed so many milestones and now I will never have a daddy daughter dance, never be able to sing in the car with you again, never have you walk me down the aisle. I wish I could go back and hear your voice one last time and tell you how much I love you and say a proper goodbye. Now all I have are a few pictures and 3 T-shirts to remember you by. I love you, Dad. I hope you get this message.
@Agustina Mansur I only have 1 memory from when I was 3 when he said goodbye to me and I saw him for the last time.
i cried, im so sorry
My dad left when I was 6 after abusing my mom for all the years before that.
My dad is the same its sad
Who the hell is chopping onions?? My eyes are leaking.😭😭😭
I'm sorry for your loss!! 😥
I can't imagine how hard that was on you. I wish you all the happiness in the world! :].
Man this song really hits home for me, even if my dad isn't dead he wasn't really there for me the way a father should. Great song though. Very raw with such emotion and power behind each word. Love Demi💚
I grew up without someone to call “Dad.” He came back and left again. I am broken and I’m so scared because my own dad didn’t love me, how could anyone else? He left me, my brother, and Mom alone for drugs and alcohol. It kills me inside.
You still have mom. Both my mom and dad leaves us. I'm also afraid of love and I don't want to love anyone. Stay strong 💕
this song makes me realize how blessed I am to have a great dad
+ANGELA RODRIGUEZ what?
+ANGELA RODRIGUEZ oh I am so sorry to hear that, I hope you are doing well without him, stay strong for me please
You are so lucky
same but i pray for those who don't cause im BRAVE💪💪💪
you are really lucky
My father's not dead but I relate to this so much. I wish I had a great dad.
Same😞
Sameee

It's sad that I won't be able to experience that fatherly love that every daughter deserves in this life.
my dad is gone. he left when i was eight, and i am twelve now.... February 16th, he died of asthma. now hes gone forever. if you have a father, stress to to him how much u love him. you'll regret it if you dont.
Not everybody will and that's ok too.
my dad has done nothing intentionally to hurt me. ever. He's never hit me or cussed at me or slapped me, but i get mad at him sometimes we have our little fights, but he has cancer and may not have much time so this is the song i dedicate to him. everybody, whether you have a dad or not, should appreciate this song and how beautiful it is.
Im sorry but I'll never love my father
im just saying appreciate this song
oh okay just making myself clear sorry
i feel so bad for u ik how u feel my family went through the same thing u r
Kailynn Aragon yea I like this song for similar reasons my dad was a good dad but he is not with me anymore. He passed away August 12th
I haven’t spoken to my birth father in several years, don’t even know where he’s living at this point, or even what he’s up to. I can’t even listen to this song without sobbing, it hits too close! But I’m so grateful to have my step dad, he’s become my dad!
Same here
I love this song because even though my dad is still "alive" he's not. I can relate to this song so much. I love him, but I hate him so much more than I care to admit. This song is one of my favorites by her.
Same here I love my dad and hate my dad
Make the love outweigh the hate because just like that he could die.
This is so relatable 😥
Kaeli Wylie exactly. You have good reason to hate him but u also feel guilt for feeling that way
This song must be amazing live. All that emotion!
+Purple Pizza I agree! Demi does so good at enhancing her music with emotions :)
+Jill Harris i totally agree. Demi is my idol. Not because i wanna be a singer, nor an actress, or becuase i wanna be famous. she is my idol because she has been through so much but even because of that, he has stood strong and now she is what she always wanted to be. she has fallen so much and stood up. I wanna be like her because i wanna stand up when i fall. i think she is a role model and i agree with you.
+Jill Harris i agree that is what makes her such a great artist
I know!!
Jules The Fangirl w
guys, if you’re dad is still there for you take as much time you can with him. some of us never had a father growing up. i never had a dad growing up and it’s just been my mom for 13 years already. you don’t know how lucky y’all are to have a father to love you enough for stay in your life.
I’m sorry about your father... it’s hard being a single mother. I know the feeling. My parents aren’t together anymore. But I tried to spend moments with my dad. Even if he has other kids with another woman . Stay strong.
I haven't seen my dad in 11 years and this song hits me hard
+The Brid Of Fire going on 3 for me
The Brid Of Fire thc
The Brid Of Fire I meant thx

I never met my dad
Apparently he left my mom and me
Then my mom left me
And I lived with my papa tell he died of cancer 6 years ago
Now I live with my god mother
2:58 RIP headphone users...
I love this song...So much heart and story
Cassidy Roberts holy crap 2:58 scared the crap out of me
Thank I for the warning I turned it down before I got there hahaha
It crushed my heart in fifth grade when there was a daddy daughter dance I just went to the bathroom and started crying knowing my father is not here
I can relate to this song in so many ways x
+Sophie Ford aww that's sad
same
Me too
+Sophie Ford same, "even if you started this whole war on me" hit me real hard
Yea same
Dont really know my father...whoever has both their parents are literally blessedd
my father passed away when I was 5 it really hurt and it still hurts its only me my mom my sister and my 3 brothers its really hard but where still getting threw it we miss him but we all know he is still in are heart always and forever
Mariana Guadalupe that isn't true all the times trust me I know
You say that but its better off having one parent who loves you than two and one of them making you feel worthless.
Same
I never meet my father
Everybody Body In The Comments Saying Their Father Was The First One To Break Their Hearts...... He Was The First One To Break My Soul.....
This isn’t a competition honey
@@Julisch1122 Never Said It Was. im Just Saying :/
Cheesy
it ain’t a competition the fuck bahahah
Hello, Jesus loves u so much and wants to saves you and everyone. You're so beautiful and precious to God, have a good day and week..
I am not a Demi fan, but this was stunning. She has a set of Aguilerian pipes, thats for sure! This song was also so emotional and raw.. it gave me goosebumps.
I've just spent the last hour stalking her instagram, and she is so beautiful... inside and out... I appreciate everything she stands for... she is such a strong woman... much respect for Demi
Olivia Gale You should check out Stone Cold by her. If your looking for songs like this.
Olivia Gale why you not a Demi fan?!?😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬 she is the BEST singer EVER!!!
My dad is not dead but he treat me like I'm nothing
same :(
Antonio Ortiz same here too
I wish he acted like I didn't exist....
At least you can still your father my father told me a was a disgrace and he never wanted me the my mom should have aborted me when she had the chance
DjJustBe U sorry to hear that
People who are loved by both parents don’t understand the how lucky they are....especially when the one that loved you is dead
Here i am crying Why? Because I'm sad and hate my own father? Because I tried to keep him in my life but he was never there? Damn the biggest heart break is when your own dad break your Own heart. I can relate to this song so much he is not dead but mentally and physically for me he is. it's sad how the years pass and how I always have a bad relationship with my mom instead of appreciating her I always used to protect his name now that I open my eyes and see everything mom is the one that was there for every hospital appointment when I was sick and if we didn't have enough food she will always give me and my sister but she would've starve her self for us to be better I fell sorry for my self and mom I'm trying to give the world to her and not be another one as my father I wanna be a better person day by day for my mom and grandpa
Tiiny.Official I’m so sorry you had to go though that but I’m glad you ended up on the right track my sister was on a bad path for all my life but finally she put her head on right and started a new chapter in her life
True.... We often don't realize what we have coz we are blinded by the past in us
I can relate
I never saw you guys comments till now. You guys keep your head up and I'm glad people got in the right path. Life is hard but indeed it only gets better but that's only if you choose to. 💕 it's hard but you all got this!
What happened between you and your mom to cause you to be so ungrateful to her?
Ugh. This is like she took a page out of my jour am and turned it into this amazing song. This is exactly my situation and I just love Demi so much for releasing this song.
Perfect song..perfect timing for my journey to healing from unresolved childhood trauma. Prayers for all those affected by someone with substance abuse/ mental health issues.
This song truly touched my soul...My dad has been gone for a year and the pain is still raw..the emotion Demi must get from singing this...wow.
Amy Walker stay strong❤️ I haven't seen my dad in 5 years, so I know what your going through. I just want you to know that it will get better, and we are here for you❤️
I NEED TO HEAR THIS LIVE!
+Rini DarkLove Sadly, they probably won't as this is too personal.
Rini DarkLove it's sad, but we have to respect Demi. She's still a person, not just a pop star.
+Tessa Livingston true
+Rini DarkLove same
Rini DarkLove she made one(:
you can hear and feel the pain in her voice. im so proud of the great woman she is
my dad is in the hospital right now with phenomena, kidney failure, and dehydration and they lost a pulse and are trying to get it back. i can't stop crying cause he wasn't the best dad but I still loved him cause I know he had reasons for being bitter. I'm only 13 and I'm so scared of him leaving me for good.
Mary Bedenbaugh stay positive you will get through this and I hope ur dad feels better
Is your dad ok? I wish the best for you! Stay strong! Just remember do it for him.
her dad was alcoholic, mine was a drug abuser. I understand exactly how she feels. You can have people all around you that love you, but there is still this missing piece. Counting the days till you see them again and wondering if they are gonna be normal when you finally get the chance to see them. The awkwardness that reigns over because you havent seen them in such a long time and they dont know who you are because theyve never been in your life. Dont worry Demi there are other people here just like you and without these songs wouldnt be able to express it. so thank you
wellifyouwereme same here!!! It hurts even when I pretend to be okay!
My dad was abusive and did a lot of things to me. I have survived that situation at the age 3-6 and I'm about to turn 17. I truly did survive this and came out on the positive side of things
I'm not crying😢
Your crying😭😭😭
Cat i I’ve been exposed 😭😢
Cat i we both are, here *passes tissues*
Your right😢
You’re *
Cat i *covers phone camera* now no one can see me cry
I'm so glad that my dad realized how to take care of his kids before we got too old to remember. He was just new to parenting and made mistakes. He's now a great dad and I love him so much
Kaleigh Martin Same. I would sing this, but I'm not sure if he'll think I hate him o something. I don't want him getting the wrong idea.
If this song relates to you and your dad leave a like
I just lost my dad 5 days ago and when I heard this song I started crying
Jacky stay strong 💪
U so strong, i believe in u❤
It's going to be ok and don't think that you did something wrong but you didn't stay strong
stay strong!
Sorry
my dad was a good dad. he loved me and my brother like no father ive ever seen. i loved him so much i did what i possibly could do for him. he suddenly changed. .. he got on some hard drugs and he changed completely it hurts just talking about it. the worst part of my life was seeing a person i loved so much turn into a complete monster... that will forever have me broken..
I love an alcoholic and I am carrying his child. My heart aches because this song will most likely be her and her fathers relationship. Hes more in love with alcohol then his own daughters..
This is is absolutely a song, who makes me crying while I'm listening, cause I can feel all your pain transported in it, great song Demi! Thanks!
I lost my dad on 10/9/2017. that day i got call from my sister (she took care of my father which is paralysed because of major stroke), and she told me "we dont have him anymore, he's gone." i felt like im dying too. i miss my dad. al-fatihah to my dad, abdul halim bin mat.
jaja halim Allahy rahmou
Allahi yirhamo and may he go to Jannah Inshallah.
I can't believe you spoke for millions. Much love, Demi. ♡
Listening to father by Demi Lovato on Father’s Day is a whole new type of pain
This sing fits my life so well ... all her words are what are on my mind I gives me so many emotions
She is just wonderful, you can feel and hear the emotion in her voice - this is truly a sad, yet wonderful song.
I lost my father 3 years ago and til this day it hurts. Demi done a great job with bringing me peace.. and putting my feelings into words.
this is seriously such an underrated song
I have a good relationship with my dad but here I am sitting here bawling,
What emotion in her voice, I'm speechless
i have my father in my life. my mother died when i was 13. He’s so heartbroken and hurting inside. he mistreats everyone in his life. he is so bipolar and a part of me blames him for my mental heath issues. we got in a fight earlier today and i’ve screamed this song from the bottom of my lungs all day. i love him...but he’s brought me so much pain in my childhood. I’m thankful for every good thing he does for me, even if he doesn’t believe so..
I have never met my dad .which is why this song makes me cry I am 11 years old
I hope you get to meet you father and I wish you the best
Same and I’m 13
same . & I’m 12
Same 14 years now
I’m 20 and now have a daughter of my own, she’s two weeks old, and I couldn’t ever imagine putting her through what either of my parents did to me. Sometimes they leave because they aren’t worthy of your affections kiddos. Don’t be sad that they’re gone, be grateful they walked away because of they can walk away so easily, imagine how shitty it would be if they stuck around, when they clearly didn’t care enough in the first place.
this makes me cry..
Same...
Same... :'(

Is it bad that I started crying at the first verse without even realizing...

my father was never there for us... i hated him with a burning passion. he died when i was 14 from lung cancer... but growing into a young adult taught me how to forgive.. but ill never have love for him. i blamed him when i was raped i thought if he was there that none of this would ever happen to me.. i tried to take my own life a couple of times when i was 16.. i was honestly done living a horrible life.. but i thought about my mother.. the one who would have to bury me.. her baby, her youngest child.. i thought about her health.. her heart isnt doing well.. she would die if i ever did that.. i didnt want that so i didnt but i was still in a deep depression.. until i turned 18, i found the love of my life.. my family loves him and we're moving into our first house together in nov, but yeah i wished i had a father who loved me...
Madison's World do you need help
Madison's World wait, are you serious? Does ur mom know the situation?
Oh dear. Im happy for you didn't cause pain to your mother. I wish all the happiness for you.
Madison's World, I hope you have find the help you need. Speak up and find help sweety. You don't need to live with that pain.
Madison's World This is not okay. You have to tell somebody. Take control of your life babe you're too young for this.
Left me when I was a baby.. felt like it was my fault my whole life.. he was a good dad to my siblings then I got born and he left
Your not alone😔😔
Same here.. I felt that it was my fault coz countless times my mom had me felt it that way..and my father married somebody else and he had 2kids taking care and loving them so much, never ever had a chance to get close or even see me that makes me think he doesn't want me any single effort to know me was my only wishful thinking back then and it really breaks my heart up until now.. 🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭And at this age of mine I'm still longing for him but sadl he passed away even before I knew his whereabouts.. 🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭
Demi you are my favorite singer.
My father isn't dead but I can relate to this. Needless to say, I cried
Exactly-though I can express my feeling through this song- he has a new fiancé and she has a son, his second chance?This is my song to him.
My dad just started to leave me and my two sisters when we were little for drugs. He traded everything he had for those drugs. And now it's 14 years later, I am 15 and I understand why he left. I would do everything and anything just have my father back. But he chose them over us. His loss.
it's our loss 😭 Coz we care we think bout itt... but our dads just don't care all rhey wann is to be lost in their drinkss... all they want is their addiction.. if they cared we wouldn't have been in this statee..
Stay strong and don't give up!!
My dad died when I was 3 years old and Ivan fully relate to this song. I love Demi and her amazing, touching songs. She's so inspirational and has an amazing voice. I hope one day I can cover this somewhere.
*i can
"Even if you started this whole war in me"....
I just wanna say that if you have a present father that loves you and is here...Please realize how lucky you are- I just turned 13 and my dad said he didn’t want me anymore about 2 months before my birthday. I’m blessed to have an amazing step dad that actually loves me 🥺❤️
I don't cry ever but this song really hit home so long story short I'm in tears
This song reminds me how blessed I am to have such an amazing father who is always there for us.
My gosh. Cue the tears.😭😭😭
This is amazing a lot of people look at me crazy because I listen to Demi but there is a lot of things people learn new bout a person this song reminds me of my dad he left my life for 17 yrs missed a lot we do speak but our relationship is not strong
I pray for a stronger relationship with my dad every day. He’s physically here and I’m thankful for that… but mentally and emotionally, he’s just not there. 💔
This song is so heart breaking. So many kids are like “oh I can deal with it it can’t be that bad I would have the other parent anyways” or “stop being dramatic you’re fine” like kids don’t care these days. They don’t care abt what they have until it’s ripped away from them. I lost my dad when I was 6 and I’m 14 now and it still hurts knowing that I never got to say goodbye. I didn’t get to hug him or tell him I loved him. Everyone should really take a look at what they have. Bc you never know when it will be gone.
Why doesn’t he want me? I miss him so much. He never makes an effort
I hope you see this. I hope you things got better after you wrote this comment a year ago . If not, I hope it made you strong and independent. I'll keep you and more people like you in my prayers from nowp on. Wish u best
Unfortunately ur not a lone mine never wanted me either
3:08 to 3:15 gave me chillssssss 😍😍❤️❤️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
+SSDEMILOVATIC SAME!!!

My father died from an overdose two days ago. Demi, you’ve helped me cope in more ways than one with your music... you helped me with my relationship with him while he was here and this song is helping me cope with his death. I wish he knew that I wanted the best for him and wanted him to get better so we could have a relationship. We were so close and he had gotten so better. But he relapsed. And my heart is shattered.
Awww this song really makes me think about how lucky I am to have such a great dad...
Tbh you are really luck
+Ayesha Razzaq appreciate what you have. Not all of us are so lucky
+Rebeca Aimée Torres Arevyan Thanx, I hope things r going well for u x
+Alyssa Graves Ikr same- sometimes I end up taking it for granted that I've got such a great dad but then I think about those that dnt hav a father to support them like I hav, I feel so sorry for them :(
Me too
This song makes me think about my dad... My dad is alive and has never been there for me. He drinks and does drugs, which doesn't help his bipolar disorder. I wish that I had a dad or father figure that was there for me... ☹️😞😥
Father, I'm gonna say thank you
Even if I'm still hurt
Oh, I'm gonna say bless you
I wanna mean those words
Always wished you the best
I, I prayed for your peace
Even if you started this
This whole war in me
You did your best or did you?
Sometimes I think I hate you
I'm sorry, dad, for feelin' this
I can't believe I'm sayin' it
I know you were a troubled man
I know you never got the chance
To be yourself, to be your best
I hope that heaven's given you
A second chance
Father, I'm gonna say thank you
Even if I don't understand
Oh, you left us alone
I guess that made me who I am
Always wished you the best
I, I, I pray for your peace
Even if you started this
This whole war in me
You did your best or did you?
Sometimes I think I hate you
I'm sorry, dad, for feelin' this
I can't believe I'm sayin' it
I know you were a troubled man
I know you never got the chance
To be yourself, to be your best
I hope that heaven's given you
You did your best or did you?
Sometimes I think I hate you
I'm sorry, dad, for feelin' this
I can't believe I'm sayin' it
I know you were a troubled man
I know you never got the chance
To be yourself, to be your best
I hope that heaven's given you
A second chance
Y do u do that if the lyrics are right there ? 😂
This song! This is my first time hearing it and it opened up some feelings I had suppressed. My alcohol father killed himself after my baby brother died. And I always wondered why I wasnt enough to make him stay alive for me and my other brother. And then I turned into the alcoholic. (4 years sober now) I feel like it's all his fault at times and at other times I know I couldn't survive without my son. Thank you Demi for a song I didn't even know I needed 🥰
even though I have an amazing father. this song still hits me kinda hard.
I lay here in bed at 10pm crying my eyes out as I wish things could’ve been different between my dad and I. He passed 4 weeks ago and his birthday would’ve been tomorrow. I thought I wouldn’t care if I lost him since I’ve lost him so many times, but he always came back but now he can never come back. My heart hurts more than I thought it would. I haven’t seen the man in nine years but I always had hope he would turn his life around. But now all I feel is sadness, I want my dad. I will always think of him in a good light though, the handsome man who married my mom. I wish you a second chance dad……until then R.I.P
I just lost my father on the 19th. We didn’t speak more than five times in over ten years. These lyrics hit hard right now. I always wished him the best in life. My heart breaks that I didn’t make amends with him sooner. I’m sorry dad. I love you. Rest in Paradise with my sweet brother.
I currently live with my father right now with my sister and him. My mother is in the picture but I don’t live with her but I still see her almost every day. I’m listening to this song right now because I’m in tears crying for him because he has been diagnosed with the virus. Growing up I would blame him for my depression, I would always think that it was his fault for causing my depression. He would Yell at me for my things I really didn’t do or small stupid things that I did do. But now that I know that he’s in the hospital on oxygen tank and is in critical condition I can’t stop crying. So father I’m really praying for you to make it back, to be healthy like you were before. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
My two oldest girls have a step dad since my oldest was 2 she almost 17 but now looking back I thank her bio dad for leaving them cause they are great kids and still have a father. The youngest is 14 she desperately has wanted a relationship with him but he acts like a big kid I offered my full support to him to make things work for my daughter. He just doesn't get it and it sucks to see how hurt and bitter she is. She very talented some absent parents don't realize what a huge impact it can be on a child's emotions. Yes she has a wonderful step dad but she just wants both of them and she truly deserves it. Thank u demi she loves ur music. As do I thank you!
