My son is an addict and the hardest thing I’ve ever heard him say to me is that I deserved a better son. We fight this fight together. I’ll never give up on him
My daughter just celebrated 2 yrs of Sobriety. Had I listened to everyone saying "let her fall" " cut her off " I truly don't believe she'd be where she is now . Don't give up Momma ❤️
Plz dont. I HATE every addiction psychiatrist/counselor out there that spewed the "kick em out and dont deal with them anymore treatment plan" to parents. I'm clean now but have no family bc they decided to do just that when i needed them the most. Blood should ALWAYS be so much stronger than addiction.. anything else is just a copout for weak parenting. Stay strong!
@@SaraPerez-oi4ye I completely understand you should contact me if you need someone iv got you I'm in need of someone to and have been struggling and constantly battling addiction for 16+ years and I'm only 28 I wanna quit and have tried everything literally but it is hard but you don't have to go through it alone no one should have to
This song will always hit me hard , I lost my husband to addiction and he always told me I deserved better but he didn't understand I just deserved him at his best and that's all I ever wanted and still want 💔 addiction Is real and it's not a joke, Millions of families are affected horribly by it.
Been there, done that. Been clean for 10 going on 11 years. Partner and quit at the same time! Now we're happy and have 3 beautiful children! Best decision ever .
Darrin Pro reading that legit made me cry, its such a difficult struggle especially when you and your spouse are both fighting the same demon, so many relationships lost BC of addiction one person wanted to get clean and the other didn't, or they didn't know and I'd leave her to protect her, but I was lucky enough for "the one that got away" to come back after 2 years and that day was the last day I've touched anything other than weed and having a drink from time to time. But we have a beautiful 2 yr old girl and just had our 1 year wedding anniversary yesterday. So glad to know that there's other people that get away from shit and moved on to have a better life, BC I'm from a place where everyone eventually ends up dead due to addiction
That's awesome and its not an easy rode, i have just over 2 years and I'm getting my life in order to build a great life for my son and maybe make him a big brother very soon
I got 19 months fell off on December 23rd, I feel like I am living a fucking lie, everyone saying they are proud of me and I am over here lying and drinking. It sucks.
I'm sure they really do care about you and your well-being. please be cautious about those kinds of substance, as they don't make the problems go away -maybe temporarily, but it might only make your problems worse. I suggest you talk to someone you trust about this and or go to therapy. There is a lot of help you can reach out to, don't be scared to talk to someone and get help. Please take care of yourself, physically and mentally.
I lost my wife to her addiction October 1st 2021. My birthday is September 30 the last day I spent with her. She went to bed high and didn’t wake up. I showed her this song when she was in treatment. She deserved a better life than one filled with addiction. I pray everyday for people struggling with addiction.
+shannon fulghum SO SORRY!!! It's their loss!!! You deserve to be happy and unconditionally loved!!! No need to show up for that type of pain ever again!!! Stay strong and be proud to stand on your own!!!
When you're a 43 year old man who has broken, beaten used and abused and come out the other side unscathed but scarred , you always go back to songs like these.
Seems every day I cry. Guess its better than to hold in. I've been sober since 2007. But im living my second part of my life better than I've ever lived. Being alone and be choosy w who I share life with.
As 49 year old man that endured the same fate have learned that the scars fade with the right company, if anything i have learned what i dont want in a person lol
To anyone going through depression, anxiety, addiction, etc.. just know your not alone in your struggles. Someone somewhere loves you and you can make it. Stay strong and god bless all.
This song is disgraceful,it feels less like someone who actually regrets the bad things they did and more like someone guilt tripping their ex into getting back with them
Wow, reading some of the comments hits me so damn close...After 8 times in rehab and several different drugs of choice, I finally got it right. I have 11 years clean & sober. I am so grateful that I didn't lose my family's love & support~ No matter what, don't give up. We're all so unique, important and have a life to live. Addiction still tries to pull me back under and some days it's a bitch. I have to do anything possible to make sure I say F**k that and get myself together. I do have an awesome sponsor and do meetings, a lot! If I didn't, I know how simple it'd be for ME to fall. After editing this post in 2017, I am still clean & sober for over 12 years..music definitely helps bring me up or sometimes it takes me down to dark places. I've learned to avoid some music, many people,places & things..We all have to do what's best for us and make it through our life, try to find happiness and peace~ Keeping everyone that's still fighting addiction in my thoughts~
800dsf I never hit a true rock bottom, as some of the stories I've heard from members in NA. I did hit my own rock bottom, it was just the never ending sick cycle and I wanted off, for good. I wish it was easy but it wasn't. I had to face a lot of demons and work the steps but after my 90 meetings in 90 days, I was feeling amazing and had an amazing sponsor that helped me a lot, she still does. I only hope that any active addict will find the beauty in living life clean & sober.
15 years after the meth induced heart attack of my high school sweetheart (12-21-2007), leaving me with four sons ages 7 to 17, I still enjoy the song, the message. I honestly have shed LOADS of tears to this in 2007. Today? I sing along, remember and smile....knowing that we are ok. We have continued our lives just like he wanted. Now we don't have the addiction standing in the way of our happiness.
Doesn't matter if it's drugs, alcohol, boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband, by far one of the most powerful songs ever created. This song speaks volumes, and touches us in every way possible. Props to Hinder for creating a masterpiece
Bradley Carroll Your comment is awesome. Very well said! I totally agree with you, Hinder created a masterpiece. I love this song so much! And the struggle in it hits so close to home for me, luckily he didn’t die in my reality, but the rest fits perfectly. And I just love it so much. It shows the reality of drugs and what can always happen even if the person doesn’t mean for it to. Most all overdoses are an absolute complete accident. Moment of silence to all the still suffering addicts and their families and to those who’ve lost their lives to it.
Hinder's songs are all so raw. And I don't mean raw in the new sense meaning badass, I mean raw in the older sense meaning exposed, genuine ,and to the point. Been popping up on my pandora for years, quickly became one of my favorite bands even though I'd never heard of them before.
@@thebraxtonater8466 It better not turn into a TikTok song Whenever I go onto a video of a song I like, I always see "Who else came here from TikTok?" Meanwhile, I've been listening to those exact songs years before TikTok existed. It can't be the only reason people know of these great songs 😡😔
Damn what a track.. not just for addiction, a not so swell partner etc.. whatever the case may be.. hits to the core.. the video itself..damn.. hits home... life is precious..
My sister was an addict for 10+ years but she’s been clean now for nearly 6 years and im so proud of her! I told her her then and I’ll tell her now i always knew she should do it.. was just waiting for her to believe it.
This song always cut me deep. I lost my husband to addiction for 15 long years. He finally found his way back. We remarried and I'm so proud of him. Please always remember addiction is not just an easy choice. They don't choose the drug over you. It's deeper than that. It's a sickness that consumes them. They stopped loving themselves not you, don't take it personally. And to those still struggling.....sending you lots of love. I truly hope you find yourself again. God bless your soul.
Your words touched me today im 34 was clean for 12 years lost my dog and relapsed hid it from my wife the last 4 months then came clean she is helping me but I keep slipping up and I really think she is about done with me any advice would be great or just someone to talk to I hate this feeling but i will have a good day with her but then I'm out and I no I am going to withdrawal then she will find out again so I just keep doing a lil more so I don't get sick around her I hate her seeing me like that thank u again for ur message
@@benji7050 Look into Suboxone treatment. I don't know where you live, but there are many places that can help. Even going to a hospital they will help if you tell them you want help. Ask for a caseworker. Good luck to you. Hang in there, there is a way out of it.
This song hits me so close to my heart. I’ve been used for all sort of things. Money, car rides, protection, etc… My depression and anxiety over the years have gotten worse. I’ve never felt more alone than now. Been struggling with it back and forth for the last 5 years. Almost ended it all back in 2017. I’ve learned I have to keep going. It’s so hard at times. I’m emotionally, spiritually and mentally exhausted… To anyone who’s struggling with depression, loss, addiction: I love you for trying. That’s all we can do. Try to be better. I’m trying to love myself and deal with my own mental problems. I haven’t loved myself in so long, I forgot who the person I once loved was like. So please, keep trying. Keep fighting. All of these hardships… I know someday it’ll be worth all of the pain we have in our mind, body and soul. Found this song in 2019. ❤️ Edit: Thank you all so much for your kind words. I continue to try and work on myself. It’s painful going through this, but thanks to my therapist, he and I have been working on building my self worth back up. And how to overcome painful struggles or how to deal when my mind becomes overwhelmed to the point that my depression and anxiety gets too built up. I have a tendency to overthink my situations, but he’s been teaching me ways to help out my mind at ease without resorting to alcohol for my problems to go away. I’m grateful to have the opportunity to have a therapist, and I promise you that YOU do matter. Keep trying, everyday when life feels like you can’t get up. Keep trying, to be a better you than you were yesterday. As long as you try, you’ll always be cherished as well as your mind and body will love it as well. Love y’all💜
Austin Winkler will never get the true credit he deserves until he’s dead and gone. Dude literally made the band. I mean just listen to his voice, raw unique talent that can’t be copied.
The line "We never really had our closure" hits me so hard. In the back of your mind you're always wondering what could have been, you think about it and try not to let it get to you but some nights it just tears you apart.
Nick Adams brother I can't help with what you believe. I am here to tell you that He is real. If a blind man comes and starts shouting that " There is no sun you idiots" Doesn't mean that the one who can see say that the sun doesn't exist. The fact is always gonna be true no matter if you don't believe it. Brother, Jesus loves you. So deep that you would start rejoicing right now if you try to understand. God bless you! I pray that your eyes would lose the scales of off it. In Jesus Name Amen. :) God will surely bless you.
Meth is a hell of a drug. It's ruined part of my family and caused my aunt to kill herself. If someone you know is going through a tough time or doing some hardcore shit, be there for them. It may be hard but anything can help someone, I promise.
I agree with what you said but I'm so done trying too be there for someone I love that picked there poison.. they've done nothing but break my heart over and over again, lied, stole, and fucked me over so many times... it's crazy how one substance can control someone so bad that they hurt everyone..
everyone has some k8nd of vice or vices. it doesnt matter if its alcohol meth or food. too much of anything can destroy a life and break a family into pieces. llove is the ultimate addiction healer.
American Patriot Sometimes the addict needs a good kick of tough love. My parents keep showing "love" to my brothers and they never change. My sister's mother-in-law kicked my sister's husband out of the house and he was forced to either go to rehab or be homeless. He actually thanked his mother for doing that. My brothers on the other hand just keep taking advantage of my parents because of you know, love. (Usually people don't threaten and steal for food. Over-eating usually only affects the over-eater.)
This Song resonates within my Soul. I had this exact experience and til this day I miss my sister so much. She deserved so much better than her husband. His voice is beautiful and the video is Amazing . 2:16
My husband was bipolar and an alcoholic. He ended up drunk one day and took his own life while I was sleeping. He always said I would be better off without him. Listening to this breaks my heart everytime cause it hits so close to home.
Best thing to do everyone is stay up. Easier said than done. Look at positive and correct negatives. Sometimes it takes awhile to make up for things that has happened in your life. Just know there’s always light at the end of the dark and lonely tunnel. Light just for you!
I met this girl at the worst time of my life, she was so perfect and I messed it up big time.. she did try to stay but I asked her to leave... She deserved much better
I'm in the process of leaving a bad relationship and moving to another state to get away from him and his family. They say that the sea will cure a broken heart and I just hope that it's true because I am so hurt and humiliated by him that I can't stay here. Please pray for my new start in a new place I need all the luck and strength I can get.
Wow! I'm in the same exact situation, and i'm looking to move to the sea also...i believe it can cure a broken heart, but it also takes work and time. You deserve much better! You have to start believing that in the core of your soul!! Prayers for you! ❤️
Im in a similar situation. I lost the best things in my life due to a heroin addiction. Im clean now been 1yr but i lost the love of my life in the process. This song makes me remember y i can't turn to that life again. I wish u all the best❤
I lost the man I loved the most. He was amazing and the most gentle but strongest man I have ever dated. This song hits very hard because he always said that I deserve better and I don't believe anyone will ever compare to him.
This group has potential, to re-live the art it preformed, in such a impacting communication of real life situations. Great Art should never be forgotten..
This song really hits hard since my partner battled a drug addiction which then led to an alcohol addiction from withdrawing from the drugs. It was such a tough time getting through it, her family walked away from her and my family told to do the same, she's now sober and we have a daughter together. Even through the hardest of things sometimes all one person needs is for someone to not give up on them.
Don't hate her family for that. It takes a lot to be able to go through the things addicts can put a family through without even intending too. In the addicts head that's all they can think and do is that drug. The family can't see it that way and you can't expect them too. Just fix the things that can be fixed and let time heal the rest. They still love her. Just some people haven't been through enough to be that low in life. The strongest warriors are the one that stopped the cycle and made a life from it.
God bless yall 1st of. 2nd I can relate and I'm curious how her family life is like now? Sorry to intrude! But now that she is not using or drinking is her family back In her life did she forgive them and they forgive her? I just can get my thoughts together how my family (other then a few good ones) can just give up and I hear of it happening alot! So again congrats on sobriety and I'm just asking for myself as I'm sober again but haven't even told my family that should care that I am sober again but this time I'm 100% committed to staying sober! And I just feel like it's a trigger waiting for me to pull aww family! Lol and Anyone reading this if you have someone you care for that is stuck in addiction don't give up on that person seriously! Each situation is different but I do know turning your back/giving up is not gonna help! And its just gonna make it harder for you to deal with when your at that person funeral due to there overdose! Don't enable them likevjust giving them money but don't leave on there own either the world is cold hard and hateful enough we all need a shoulder to lean on and cry on! 💪✌
You couldn't be anymore right than this. But so many people are too lazy and disconcerning to be there for the one they say???? They love. Unconditional love and love that is not only said but shown is what we all strive for. Our people should love us more when we're battling auction or depression etc. In my opinion
I was an addict for 8 years. It all began when my sister died. It's always easy enough to find the wrong people, the wrong reasons, the wrong motivation... I almost died a couple times, had to face the sadness in my parents eyes, and most of all, myself in the mirror. Call it a miracle, but most of the people I used to do heavy drugs with also got treatment, and got clean. There is always hope. And, even though sometimes life seems meaningless, make sobriety your one goal in life. I've been clean for 7 years, now. The last time I took a sleeping pill was in 2018 after a relationship break, which I did not allow to ruin my 12-step program, simply because NOTHING and NO ONE has the authority to determine how we live our lives. Learn to love your own company, to understand nobody is perfect and that it's ok to be who you are, and that drugs are NOT the answer. I put on some coffee, light a cigarette and cheer the small victory of another day without alcohol, without opioids, without pills. Like Charles Dickens said: "God bless us, everyone."
My first kiss/my first boyfriend/ the closest I've felt to real love killed himself. We had abusive families and we found each other as kids. I tried to find him as an adult....he's dead. This reminds me of him, and the love I hope we could've shared. RIP James Tolsdorf. I'll always regret not finding you sooner.
As one of those guys, who’s still here for now. It’ll always be inevitable, it always has been since the first real thought. Don’t feel bad you couldn’t be there, it would’ve only been a bandaid. Every person I know who’s done it always had it in them. It’s just a matter of when the brain chemistry finally gives way. I’ve known since I was a little boy that one day I’d leave by my own hands. As selfish as we know it is, if we could stop it, I promise we would.
Danika Weaver Thanks so much sugar! Your kind words really do mean a lot. Also, I’m so proud of you for weathering the storm! I wish everyone got the chance to recover and find sobriety, like we did. It hurts my heart to think of all the friends who didn’t get that chance. 😓
I’m a recovering addict, I tell my wife she deserves much better than me after everything I put her through. I still believe that she deserves much better than me. This song is another reminder of why I’m clean today.
God from then starting high school to now in 2023 married with three kids...my, my, my, how life can bless you. Triumph or tragedy its what we make of it for ourselves...and for our loved ones.
Lyrics: I think you can do much better than me After all the lies that I made you believe Guilt kicks in and I start to see The edge of the bed Where your nightgown used to be I told myself I won't miss you But I remember What it feels like beside you I really miss your hair in my face And the way your innocence tastes And I think you should know this You deserve much better than me While looking through your old box of notes I found those pictures I took That you were looking for If there's one memory I don't want to lose That time at the mall You and me in the dressing room I told myself I won't miss you But I remember What it feels like beside you I really miss your hair in my face And the way your innocence tastes And I think you should know this You deserve much better than me The bed I'm lying in is getting colder Wish I never would've said it's over And I can't pretend... I won't think about you when I'm older Cause we never really had our closure This can't be the end I really miss your hair in my face And the way your innocence tastes And I think you should know this You deserve much better than me I really miss your hair in my face And the way your innocence tastes And I think you should know this You deserve much better than me (And I think you should know this) (You deserve much better than me)
I'm 19 and when I was only 7, my mother divorced with my father due to him becoming an alcoholic. And I soon always heard this song on my mother’s radio because she was so heart broken over the divorce, it took up to 2 years for her to move on. She always had me at her side and if there’s anything I remember, it’s when she said that I give her hope. I never knew what the meaning of this song was until I wanted to go on a trip down memory lane and searched for it. I found it and I now know what she was feeling those days. I will admit I've never been in a relationship but it hits me hard thinking about my parents and this song.
I remember watching this video as a teenager and not being able to relate to the video but the lyrics yes... now I'm a recovering heroin, fentanyl and crack addict and it just hits you so differently when you can relate to all of it.
I have no addictions, and I've never lived a song like this. And yet, this song just grabs me. In my opinion, Hinder squandered a huge opportunity to be the face of rock and roll for a decade, because they didn't put their ego away and just let this kind of rock and roll flow.
Well be thankful that you never experienced addiction, I have and I've lost everything ten times over. I lost family,friends & my self confidence. It is like living in hell 99.999%of the time with. 1% of numbness. I've been sober now for 6 years, I'll never do that to my family or myself ever again. And even being sober,I still have to watch very dear loved ones kill themselves a little bit each time they use, until they overdose and leave the world behind. But I digress, this song definitely reminds me of why I don't want to re-live that nightmare.
Im sorry but you sir have had an addiction everyone has an addiction of some sort whether it's waking up early or having too much syrup on your pancakes or coffee every day
My fellow Okies, thank you for showing Oklahoma can produce more than Country music. Got to meet a couple of these guys many years ago when I helped one of them buy his SRT Charger in OKC.
Me and my wife seperated in January 2019 and this song rips my heart out everytime i listen to it cause she did deserve much better than me. I miss her so much.
@@nenadjovic369 my husband left me for someone else. i was different though. i was completely relieved...i felt like a weight had been lifted off me. at first it was hard to get used to him being gone after 11 years together though.

Bands always break up and think they are the important ones - but let’s be clear. The LEAD SINGER is ALWAYS the important one. His voice. Can go with any band
To hear the person you love say those words to you is more pain than you can bare almost. When you know they just can't stop the drug abuse. This song gives me a little hope every time I hear it. Praying for a miracle.
Im a recovering addict, and i told my mom the same thing. I still battle with it, but never lose hope. Im an alcoholic, i was able to cut pills and other things out of my life... one night i was hammered drunk and didnt want to take my mom to the hospital.. 14 hours later i had to start planning her funeral. Not sure why i said that, but this song hits me too. I know im not helping, but dont ever give up on him. If he said that then he knows, and he loves you more than you know
really good song about a guy who realizes for whatever reason that the woman he loves can be much happier with someone else so he removed himself from the equation.
Bought this album when it came out but never watched the video like a stooge………. Jeez this is a heartbreaker ….. so an under appreciated band…. Pardon me for my youth at the time..

This song reminds of my baby brother.God knows he fought so hard to live.He suffered so bad from drugs he was such a great person. And my heart is so broken 💔 😞 I tried to save him but the drug had so much control on him .I will always wonder how why I just couldn't save him no matter what I said he just didn't listen now he's gone at 38 years old .Before he lost his life that day he was homeless we had not known he was till they came with the bad news that he was gone.I love you always my baby brother. RIP JOHNNY 🙏 07/20/2022 FLY HIGH NOW AND YOUR FREE OF THE DAMON'S THAT TOOK YOU.
my heart goes out to you in such a huge way. i am so sorry for your great loss and i cant say that i can come close to knowing what that was like for you. Unfortunately, i can relate to your brothers sadness. i had an issue with alcohol for 8 to 10 years. i suffer from horrible OCD and bi polar 1. Addiction mixed with other major mental illnesses and of course the non stop suicidal thoughts for 43 years and two epic failed attempts has me fighting a war within myself every single day of my life and scary enough i always and forever will. i know how this side feels and we are scared too death and completely lost, but i know our loved ones suffer the most. God Bless you and your family.
@@bethdenton7698 Thank you and GodBless to you 🙏 pray for you on your progress of your sobriety. I'm also a recovering addict I'm clean for almost 5 years now been a long road for me.I tried to save my baby brother.God knows I tried but it was just to late for him this time I always thought being the oldest of 3 siblings I would be the first to go but didn't expect my baby brother to go first from the rest of us 💔 😢. Thank you very much for the kind words GodBless sweetie
music is so powerful, I was a heroin addict from 18-24 I'm 27 now and been clean for almost 3 years, for anybody going through addiction oor rough times, it will get better ,for me I was on rock bottom so nowhere to go but up. keep your head up and have faith,even if you don't believe, we Al need something higher than our selves to be believe in
Please dont give up on him ... i was an addict for over 15 years and all my momma wanted was to see her son clean but either way she loved me no matter what ... i lost her 2 years ago and it hurts me cause now she not here to witness my sobriety ... 😢
Recover alcoholic here, who sent their significant other (now spouse) I’ve spent 7 years with to detox to come off of alcohol too. He completed the program, did well and 4 months later, fell off, hanging with his toxic, drunk, junkie ex. He used it as an excuse for our arguing, which was actually me wanting better for him, as I WAS THAT alcoholic for 12 years of my life. Long story short, he got his karma, and 1st DUI, which has landed him in jail. That jail saved his life. I saved him from the ground, but couldn’t save him from jail. I pray he stays on the right path when he gets out, as we have two girls under age 10 that love and need their daddy. ❤ I’ve stuck by him through everything, knowing what it’s like because that WAS me. This song is SO deep, and depicts our relationship at its toxic point (alcohol not drugs), from his POV. Listen to it all the time as a reminder of what I won’t tolerate and what he could lose, what could happen. ❤

My son is an addict and the hardest thing I’ve ever heard him say to me is that I deserved a better son. We fight this fight together. I’ll never give up on him
please don't give up. The world is falling apart as I write this.
My daughter just celebrated 2 yrs of Sobriety. Had I listened to everyone saying "let her fall" " cut her off " I truly don't believe she'd be where she is now . Don't give up Momma ❤️
Prayers
Plz dont. I HATE every addiction psychiatrist/counselor out there that spewed the "kick em out and dont deal with them anymore treatment plan" to parents. I'm clean now but have no family bc they decided to do just that when i needed them the most. Blood should ALWAYS be so much stronger than addiction.. anything else is just a copout for weak parenting. Stay strong!
I told my mom the same thing she fought for me when I gave up will never be able to repay her for that
Its 2024 anyone still listening to this i just love this song cant get it out of my head ❤😊
Hvnt heard in forever ❤
🖐️

Thank you , I just happened to see your message, and just at the right time. Thank you ❤
I have no one 😢 I want to get clean for my babies you think that would be easiest but it's not
@SaraPerez-oi4ye You got this!
@@SaraPerez-oi4ye I completely understand you should contact me if you need someone iv got you I'm in need of someone to and have been struggling and constantly battling addiction for 16+ years and I'm only 28 I wanna quit and have tried everything literally but it is hard but you don't have to go through it alone no one should have to
@@ashleyhnilo4890you ain't the only one same here
This song will always hit me hard , I lost my husband to addiction and he always told me I deserved better but he didn't understand I just deserved him at his best and that's all I ever wanted and still want 💔 addiction Is real and it's not a joke, Millions of families are affected horribly by it.
Hugs.
Yes im sorry hunny for u going thru this god bless yous
Condolences got a battle with it in my family right now.
I have no one want to get clean help😢😭😭🥹🥺💔💔💔
Here for you 💝 @@SaraPerez-oi4ye
Been there, done that. Been clean for 10 going on 11 years. Partner and quit at the same time! Now we're happy and have 3 beautiful children! Best decision ever .
That's fatastic. I'm trying to help my partner quit, but she just shuts me off, especially after I quit.. really hurts
Darrin Pro reading that legit made me cry, its such a difficult struggle especially when you and your spouse are both fighting the same demon, so many relationships lost BC of addiction one person wanted to get clean and the other didn't, or they didn't know and I'd leave her to protect her, but I was lucky enough for "the one that got away" to come back after 2 years and that day was the last day I've touched anything other than weed and having a drink from time to time. But we have a beautiful 2 yr old girl and just had our 1 year wedding anniversary yesterday. So glad to know that there's other people that get away from shit and moved on to have a better life, BC I'm from a place where everyone eventually ends up dead due to addiction
We're 12 years clean with healthy happy kids. There's always life after rock bottom!
That's awesome and its not an easy rode, i have just over 2 years and I'm getting my life in order to build a great life for my son and maybe make him a big brother very soon
Congrats! Stay blessed !
I’m a recovering addict....clean since 2007. Still going strong 💪
Danika Weaver so proud of you
Christina Stubbings awwww thank you luv! Happy New Year 🎆
I got 19 months fell off on December 23rd, I feel like I am living a fucking lie, everyone saying they are proud of me and I am over here lying and drinking. It sucks.
I'm sure they really do care about you and your well-being. please be cautious about those kinds of substance, as they don't make the problems go away -maybe temporarily, but it might only make your problems worse. I suggest you talk to someone you trust about this and or go to therapy. There is a lot of help you can reach out to, don't be scared to talk to someone and get help. Please take care of yourself, physically and mentally.
Still strong !
I lost my wife to her addiction October 1st 2021. My birthday is September 30 the last day I spent with her. She went to bed high and didn’t wake up. I showed her this song when she was in treatment. She deserved a better life than one filled with addiction. I pray everyday for people struggling with addiction.
Love ya bro
^^sending hugs
Love & light mate from New Zealand xx
It'll get better, friend. We all know. 💕 Even through the loss.. you'll find light, for her.
I would of played played my wife this song,god bless her.
When you were young, you enjoyed the music, but when youre older you understand the lyrics
Hinder was that one band most everyone would listen to right after being broken up with.
I'm listening to him now. I just got dumped. Lmfao. 😂😔😢😂
Yep... still is... that's why I'm here
Me too LOL
4REAL. .
+shannon fulghum SO SORRY!!! It's their loss!!!
You deserve to be happy and unconditionally loved!!! No need to show up for that type of pain ever again!!! Stay strong and be proud to stand on your own!!!
Honestly if you're still listening to this, you my friend have an amazing taste in music.
This has been my favorite song for 15 years, I can still remember the first time I heard it!
❤️
It's 2022 and I'm still listening!!!
Unlike today’s generation of mainstream music lovers.
As músicas do Hinder são sensacionais .🇧🇷
When you're a 43 year old man who has broken, beaten used and abused and come out the other side unscathed but scarred , you always go back to songs like these.
Hear you brother
I hear you too, but I’m still hurting.
@@monicasmith7070 Same. 😢
Seems every day I cry. Guess its better than to hold in. I've been sober since 2007. But im living my second part of my life better than I've ever lived. Being alone and be choosy w who I share life with.
As 49 year old man that endured the same fate have learned that the scars fade with the right company, if anything i have learned what i dont want in a person lol
his voice is insanely unique
A little like Bailey Zimmerman.
I remember when they first came out in 2005, people were going crazy over him.
If by unique you mean sounds exactly like Steven Tyler then I'd agree
To anyone going through depression, anxiety, addiction, etc.. just know your not alone in your struggles. Someone somewhere loves you and you can make it. Stay strong and god bless all.
Hslp
Been dealing with it for over 10 years
Thank you for that I'm going through so much so thank you
How do I add my picture instead of just the letter G on here
Love this post
Wish music like this still was around...
same :(
I thought y'all listened to country or the eagles in Alabama 🤔
@@Montoya1991 my mom listens to them (Hinder) and her my aunt and uncle all listen to Kiss and Metallica
Me too
This song is disgraceful,it feels less like someone who actually regrets the bad things they did and more like someone guilt tripping their ex into getting back with them
I Want More Hinder
Wow, reading some of the comments hits me so damn close...After 8 times in rehab and several different drugs of choice, I finally got it right. I have 11 years clean & sober. I am so grateful that I didn't lose my family's love & support~ No matter what, don't give up. We're all so unique, important and have a life to live. Addiction still tries to pull me back under and some days it's a bitch. I have to do anything possible to make sure I say F**k that and get myself together. I do have an awesome sponsor and do meetings, a lot! If I didn't, I know how simple it'd be for ME to fall. After editing this post in 2017, I am still clean & sober for over 12 years..music definitely helps bring me up or sometimes it takes me down to dark places. I've learned to avoid some music, many people,places & things..We all have to do what's best for us and make it through our life, try to find happiness and peace~ Keeping everyone that's still fighting addiction in my thoughts~
Lora Nowak why did you quit? True addicts go to the end, that's commitment but. whatever not everyone can do things right
That's awesome Lora !!
800dsf I never hit a true rock bottom, as some of the stories I've heard from members in NA. I did hit my own rock bottom, it was just the never ending sick cycle and I wanted off, for good. I wish it was easy but it wasn't. I had to face a lot of demons and work the steps but after my 90 meetings in 90 days, I was feeling amazing and had an amazing sponsor that helped me a lot, she still does. I only hope that any active addict will find the beauty in living life clean & sober.
WolfsBlood44 Thanks :)
Lora Nowak Atta girl.
Ever listen to this song and think of that one person you never really got over? No matter how much time has passed?
Steph Ruppert ya I do all the time but I Kno it's the right thing cus she can do better an she's happier I hope
Yea....but she deserves someone better...
Steph Ruppert omg 😯
Yep :(
Yes.
15 years after the meth induced heart attack of my high school sweetheart (12-21-2007), leaving me with four sons ages 7 to 17, I still enjoy the song, the message. I honestly have shed LOADS of tears to this in 2007. Today? I sing along, remember and smile....knowing that we are ok. We have continued our lives just like he wanted. Now we don't have the addiction standing in the way of our happiness.
So glad 2 hear that. I know I'm late, but that is a blessing. Stay strong brother
So scary man i was on that shit and other shit for years and felt my heart startin to fuck up one time and never did it again it was so scary
So very happy for you. Much love
I would be devastated
2023....this song still hits close to home...
His voice ,the lyrics 😩😩
Right on
I agree💯
2024 here
This has to be my favorite song by Hinder...
+D. Freeman Same
no lips of an angle
Doesn't matter if it's drugs, alcohol, boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband, by far one of the most powerful songs ever created. This song speaks volumes, and touches us in every way possible. Props to Hinder for creating a masterpiece
I am best you will have
go listen to blue october if you like this music then you will love there album foiled
Couldn't have said it better myself....100% FACTS!
Bradley Carroll you are so very right. This song brings me to tears every time I hear it there's just so much personal meaning for me too.
Bradley Carroll
Your comment is awesome. Very well said! I totally agree with you, Hinder created a masterpiece. I love this song so much! And the struggle in it hits so close to home for me, luckily he didn’t die in my reality, but the rest fits perfectly. And I just love it so much. It shows the reality of drugs and what can always happen even if the person doesn’t mean for it to. Most all overdoses are an absolute complete accident. Moment of silence to all the still suffering addicts and their families and to those who’ve lost their lives to it.
This is still one of my favorite bands of all time. One of the greatest albums of all time too.
Real talk
They still kick ass
Ehem Ehem, it seems hinder didn't save yo life yet 🤣?
How in this world could Hinder no longer be a band
I am 63 yrs. and have never heard anything as awesome as they were. Please get back together😢
Because they got rid of everything that was hinder, Austin Winkler.
Hinder's songs are all so raw. And I don't mean raw in the new sense meaning badass, I mean raw in the older sense meaning exposed, genuine ,and to the point. Been popping up on my pandora for years, quickly became one of my favorite bands even though I'd never heard of them before.
Lm
Your comment automatically flags you as a complete moron with horrible taste in music.
How I wish this kind of music will still be loved in this generation.
Lips of an angel is getting popular
@@thebraxtonater8466 It better not turn into a TikTok song
Whenever I go onto a video of a song I like, I always see "Who else came here from TikTok?" Meanwhile, I've been listening to those exact songs years before TikTok existed. It can't be the only reason people know of these great songs 😡😔
It is
I’m a member of gen Z and I love these guys
@@HannahsMoviesAndMusic I come here from growing up listening to it
Damn what a track.. not just for addiction, a not so swell partner etc.. whatever the case may be.. hits to the core.. the video itself..damn.. hits home... life is precious..
My sister was an addict for 10+ years but she’s been clean now for nearly 6 years and im so proud of her! I told her her then and I’ll tell her now i always knew she should do it.. was just waiting for her to believe it.
music with meaning, lost art in America
They only glorify what sells
That's why the Old Will always be the best >.
ikr. Sad. :(
Agreed
There's still songs with meaning. You just gotta try harder to find them.
Anybody still listening to this amazing song in 2016?
everybody, m8
yea because i just got into rock n roll in June I asked my dad his favorite band he said Hinder
yeaa one of their best songs
Yup! Actually first time seeing the video and wow changed my whole perception of the song
***** i'm a gril XD
This song always cut me deep. I lost my husband to addiction for 15 long years. He finally found his way back. We remarried and I'm so proud of him. Please always remember addiction is not just an easy choice. They don't choose the drug over you. It's deeper than that. It's a sickness that consumes them. They stopped loving themselves not you, don't take it personally. And to those still struggling.....sending you lots of love. I truly hope you find yourself again. God bless your soul.
Your words touched me today im 34 was clean for 12 years lost my dog and relapsed hid it from my wife the last 4 months then came clean she is helping me but I keep slipping up and I really think she is about done with me any advice would be great or just someone to talk to I hate this feeling but i will have a good day with her but then I'm out and I no I am going to withdrawal then she will find out again so I just keep doing a lil more so I don't get sick around her I hate her seeing me like that thank u again for ur message
@@benji7050 Look into Suboxone treatment. I don't know where you live, but there are many places that can help. Even going to a hospital they will help if you tell them you want help. Ask for a caseworker. Good luck to you. Hang in there, there is a way out of it.
This song hits me so close to my heart. I’ve been used for all sort of things. Money, car rides, protection, etc… My depression and anxiety over the years have gotten worse. I’ve never felt more alone than now. Been struggling with it back and forth for the last 5 years. Almost ended it all back in 2017. I’ve learned I have to keep going. It’s so hard at times. I’m emotionally, spiritually and mentally exhausted… To anyone who’s struggling with depression, loss, addiction: I love you for trying. That’s all we can do. Try to be better. I’m trying to love myself and deal with my own mental problems. I haven’t loved myself in so long, I forgot who the person I once loved was like. So please, keep trying. Keep fighting. All of these hardships… I know someday it’ll be worth all of the pain we have in our mind, body and soul. Found this song in 2019. ❤️
Edit: Thank you all so much for your kind words. I continue to try and work on myself. It’s painful going through this, but thanks to my therapist, he and I have been working on building my self worth back up. And how to overcome painful struggles or how to deal when my mind becomes overwhelmed to the point that my depression and anxiety gets too built up. I have a tendency to overthink my situations, but he’s been teaching me ways to help out my mind at ease without resorting to alcohol for my problems to go away. I’m grateful to have the opportunity to have a therapist, and I promise you that YOU do matter. Keep trying, everyday when life feels like you can’t get up. Keep trying, to be a better you than you were yesterday. As long as you try, you’ll always be cherished as well as your mind and body will love it as well. Love y’all💜
Thank you for sharing your story I appreciate messages like these.
My heart goes out to you. Life is a struggle every day for so many. I hope you find what gives you peace. You are meant to be here. You do matter.
❤
Jesus is the way the truth and the light!
We gotta keep goin man, no matter how fucking hard. we've gotta keep going!
Austin Winkler will never get the true credit he deserves until he’s dead and gone. Dude literally made the band. I mean just listen to his voice, raw unique talent that can’t be copied.
I.Agree
I concur.Austin is Hinder.
The line "We never really had our closure" hits me so hard. In the back of your mind you're always wondering what could have been, you think about it and try not to let it get to you but some nights it just tears you apart.
It's ok
Everyday it's a fight to not be a addict. Addiction is hard to handle. Mine are many things can be addictive. Love , sex, violence, meth pain.
Sister, Deliverance is on your way in the name of Jesus Christ! Right now!
Joshua Michael fuck jesus. he isn't real
Nick Adams brother I can't help with what you believe. I am here to tell you that He is real. If a blind man comes and starts shouting that " There is no sun you idiots"
Doesn't mean that the one who can see say that the sun doesn't exist. The fact is always gonna be true no matter if you don't believe it. Brother, Jesus loves you. So deep that you would start rejoicing right now if you try to understand. God bless you! I pray that your eyes would lose the scales of off it. In Jesus Name Amen. :) God will surely bless you.
022 2754 6669 Give me solid proof god/jesus is real.
Seen them in concert a few years ago. Nothing better then the original singer.
Is Anybody else struggling these days? I sure am. I deserve peace.
I'm a drug addict and I broke up with my GF almost 5 years ago to protect her from me.
I've been single ever since, yet I know I did the right thing.
good job. it probably hurt. but that was still good job
hey..same here..feel you dude. It was the right thing.
Respect bro, wish you all the best.
Respect.
I wish you can quit using drug and if you want a friend who support you to quit it, i will be that person.
Meth is a hell of a drug. It's ruined part of my family and caused my aunt to kill herself. If someone you know is going through a tough time or doing some hardcore shit, be there for them. It may be hard but anything can help someone, I promise.
Being there for them doesn't always work. Most of the time the addict just takes advantage of the hospitality/compassion/love he or she is given.
The opposite of addiction is connection. So sorry about your aunt.
I agree with what you said but I'm so done trying too be there for someone I love that picked there poison.. they've done nothing but break my heart over and over again, lied, stole, and fucked me over so many times... it's crazy how one substance can control someone so bad that they hurt everyone..
everyone has some k8nd of vice or vices. it doesnt matter if its alcohol meth or food. too much of anything can destroy a life and break a family into pieces. llove is the ultimate addiction healer.
American Patriot Sometimes the addict needs a good kick of tough love. My parents keep showing "love" to my brothers and they never change. My sister's mother-in-law kicked my sister's husband out of the house and he was forced to either go to rehab or be homeless. He actually thanked his mother for doing that. My brothers on the other hand just keep taking advantage of my parents because of you know, love. (Usually people don't threaten and steal for food. Over-eating usually only affects the over-eater.)
Clean since 2016. So thankful
This Song resonates within my Soul. I had this exact experience and til this day I miss my sister so much. She deserved so much better than her husband. His voice is beautiful and the video is Amazing . 2:16
My husband was bipolar and an alcoholic. He ended up drunk one day and took his own life while I was sleeping. He always said I would be better off without him. Listening to this breaks my heart everytime cause it hits so close to home.
Awwwww..... Sending unending love, hugs and prayers to you. Stay strong.
I fight this feeling every day
This existence is indeed an uphill climb for us all and for some it just becomes to much. Blessings from New Zealand.
So soo sorry
Best thing to do everyone is stay up. Easier said than done. Look at positive and correct negatives. Sometimes it takes awhile to make up for things that has happened in your life. Just know there’s always light at the end of the dark and lonely tunnel. Light just for you!
I met this girl at the worst time of my life, she was so perfect and I messed it up big time.. she did try to stay but I asked her to leave... She deserved much better
F

I feel you bro....
Hiren Killjoy I’m going through the same thing rn. She’s perfect and I love her so much but I kinda screwed it up. Any advice?

his new song is so deep 🌟
Gets me everytime
Song still gives me goosebumps

Yes it gets me everytime too.
same here
I'm in the process of leaving a bad relationship and moving to another state to get away from him and his family. They say that the sea will cure a broken heart and I just hope that it's true because I am so hurt and humiliated by him that I can't stay here. Please pray for my new start in a new place I need all the luck and strength I can get.
Sending love to you
Wow! I'm in the same exact situation, and i'm looking to move to the sea also...i believe it can cure a broken heart, but it also takes work and time. You deserve much better! You have to start believing that in the core of your soul!! Prayers for you! ❤️
I love. This song
Im in a similar situation. I lost the best things in my life due to a heroin addiction. Im clean now been 1yr but i lost the love of my life in the process. This song makes me remember y i can't turn to that life again. I wish u all the best❤
Prayers you will do great amen !
I lost the man I loved the most. He was amazing and the most gentle but strongest man I have ever dated. This song hits very hard because he always said that I deserve better and I don't believe anyone will ever compare to him.
@Ken Schlarman thank you
This group has potential, to re-live the art it preformed, in such a impacting communication of real life situations. Great Art should never be forgotten..
I knew them from my home state Oklahoma...saw them at a bar first time in OKC with Flaming Lips
This song really hits hard since my partner battled a drug addiction which then led to an alcohol addiction from withdrawing from the drugs. It was such a tough time getting through it, her family walked away from her and my family told to do the same, she's now sober and we have a daughter together. Even through the hardest of things sometimes all one person needs is for someone to not give up on them.
Don't hate her family for that. It takes a lot to be able to go through the things addicts can put a family through without even intending too. In the addicts head that's all they can think and do is that drug. The family can't see it that way and you can't expect them too. Just fix the things that can be fixed and let time heal the rest. They still love her. Just some people haven't been through enough to be that low in life. The strongest warriors are the one that stopped the cycle and made a life from it.
That is awesome you never gave up on her and that says you are made for each other never give up life gets better when you decide to get better.
God bless yall 1st of. 2nd I can relate and I'm curious how her family life is like now? Sorry to intrude! But now that she is not using or drinking is her family back In her life did she forgive them and they forgive her? I just can get my thoughts together how my family (other then a few good ones) can just give up and I hear of it happening alot! So again congrats on sobriety and I'm just asking for myself as I'm sober again but haven't even told my family that should care that I am sober again but this time I'm 100% committed to staying sober! And I just feel like it's a trigger waiting for me to pull aww family! Lol and Anyone reading this if you have someone you care for that is stuck in addiction don't give up on that person seriously! Each situation is different but I do know turning your back/giving up is not gonna help! And its just gonna make it harder for you to deal with when your at that person funeral due to there overdose! Don't enable them likevjust giving them money but don't leave on there own either the world is cold hard and hateful enough we all need a shoulder to lean on and cry on! 💪✌
You couldn't be anymore right than this. But so many people are too lazy and disconcerning to be there for the one they say???? They love. Unconditional love and love that is not only said but shown is what we all strive for. Our people should love us more when we're battling auction or depression etc. In my opinion
Addiction not auction. Typo
Raise your hand 2020 Listener. Brings a lot of mem'ries

who Lee sheet yes especially this lock down so much memories all day listening to music so much in my mind
@@micheliewelly xxx,
who Lee sheet 🙌🏻
Bro just came up randomly in the side suggestions, I fuckin loved this song but forgot,so glad I found it, one hit wonder but a classic
I was an addict for 8 years. It all began when my sister died. It's always easy enough to find the wrong people, the wrong reasons, the wrong motivation... I almost died a couple times, had to face the sadness in my parents eyes, and most of all, myself in the mirror. Call it a miracle, but most of the people I used to do heavy drugs with also got treatment, and got clean. There is always hope. And, even though sometimes life seems meaningless, make sobriety your one goal in life. I've been clean for 7 years, now. The last time I took a sleeping pill was in 2018 after a relationship break, which I did not allow to ruin my 12-step program, simply because NOTHING and NO ONE has the authority to determine how we live our lives. Learn to love your own company, to understand nobody is perfect and that it's ok to be who you are, and that drugs are NOT the answer. I put on some coffee, light a cigarette and cheer the small victory of another day without alcohol, without opioids, without pills. Like Charles Dickens said: "God bless us, everyone."
To all lost souls out there, the track its dedicated to them. Don't do drugs, no competition with drugs. there is one winner, drugs.
My first kiss/my first boyfriend/ the closest I've felt to real love killed himself. We had abusive families and we found each other as kids. I tried to find him as an adult....he's dead. This reminds me of him, and the love I hope we could've shared. RIP James Tolsdorf. I'll always regret not finding you sooner.
That's sad
Damn..
As one of those guys, who’s still here for now. It’ll always be inevitable, it always has been since the first real thought. Don’t feel bad you couldn’t be there, it would’ve only been a bandaid. Every person I know who’s done it always had it in them. It’s just a matter of when the brain chemistry finally gives way. I’ve known since I was a little boy that one day I’d leave by my own hands. As selfish as we know it is, if we could stop it, I promise we would.
Thats sad
Sorry honey xx 😘 not your fault..xx
Sober 12 years from opiates 🖤
Miss Powers congrats on that. 5 for me.
🙏💓
Miss Powers that’s great! 13 years for me and loving my life. Keep up the good work! 🙏
Danika Weaver Thanks so much sugar! Your kind words really do mean a lot. Also, I’m so proud of you for weathering the storm! I wish everyone got the chance to recover and find sobriety, like we did. It hurts my heart to think of all the friends who didn’t get that chance. 😓
I’m fucking proud of you!!!! I’m 5 months clean from opiates and I know how hard of a battle it is!
I’m a recovering addict, I tell my wife she deserves much better than me after everything I put her through. I still believe that she deserves much better than me. This song is another reminder of why I’m clean today.
God from then starting high school to now in 2023 married with three kids...my, my, my, how life can bless you. Triumph or tragedy its what we make of it for ourselves...and for our loved ones.
Lyrics:
I think you can do much better than me
After all the lies that I made you believe
Guilt kicks in and I start to see
The edge of the bed
Where your nightgown used to be
I told myself I won't miss you
But I remember
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
While looking through your old box of notes
I found those pictures I took
That you were looking for
If there's one memory I don't want to lose
That time at the mall
You and me in the dressing room
I told myself I won't miss you
But I remember
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
The bed I'm lying in is getting colder
Wish I never would've said it's over
And I can't pretend... I won't think about you when I'm older
Cause we never really had our closure
This can't be the end
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
(And I think you should know this)
(You deserve much better than me)
My husband was my world. I lived my life for him. Drugs changed alot over the years.
My boyfriend OD and this song hits home for me. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss him
I love his raspy voice ❤ it’s unique
Haven't heard this in ages.
Same
I'm 19 and when I was only 7, my mother divorced with my father due to him becoming an alcoholic. And I soon always heard this song on my mother’s radio because she was so heart broken over the divorce, it took up to 2 years for her to move on. She always had me at her side and if there’s anything I remember, it’s when she said that I give her hope. I never knew what the meaning of this song
was until I wanted to go on a trip down memory lane and searched for it. I found it and I now know what she was feeling those days. I will admit I've never been in a relationship but it hits me hard thinking about my parents and this song.
I'm just here to say that this is Hinder's most underrated song and my personal favorite
I remember watching this video as a teenager and not being able to relate to the video but the lyrics yes... now I'm a recovering heroin, fentanyl and crack addict and it just hits you so differently when you can relate to all of it.
I have no addictions, and I've never lived a song like this. And yet, this song just grabs me. In my opinion, Hinder squandered a huge opportunity to be the face of rock and roll for a decade, because they didn't put their ego away and just let this kind of rock and roll flow.
Agreed!
Well be thankful that you never experienced addiction, I have and I've lost everything ten times over. I lost family,friends & my self confidence. It is like living in hell 99.999%of the time with. 1% of numbness.
I've been sober now for 6 years, I'll never do that to my family or myself ever again.
And even being sober,I still have to watch very dear loved ones kill themselves a little bit each time they use, until they overdose and leave the world behind.
But I digress, this song definitely reminds me of why I don't want to re-live that nightmare.
They stayed true to there sound then what's wrong with that?
Im sorry but you sir have had an addiction everyone has an addiction of some sort whether it's waking up early or having too much syrup on your pancakes or coffee every day
Early 2000s songs are life

Specially when they came mid 2000s

Same with the 90’s, 80’s and older.
Most of today’s music isn’t all that good.
My fellow Okies, thank you for showing Oklahoma can produce more than Country music. Got to meet a couple of these guys many years ago when I helped one of them buy his SRT Charger in OKC.
Say no to drugs
Me and my wife seperated in January 2019 and this song rips my heart out everytime i listen to it cause she did deserve much better than me. I miss her so much.
Feel that comment be the one she deserves or be that.for someone else

@@nenadjovic369 You live one day at a time.
@@nenadjovic369 my husband left me for someone else. i was different though. i was completely relieved...i felt like a weight had been lifted off me. at first it was hard to get used to him being gone after 11 years together though.
Keep your head up king👑
[Verse 1]
I think you can do much better than me
After all the lies that I made you believe
Guilt kicks in and I start to see
The edge of the bed
Where your nightgown used to be
[Pre-Chorus]
I told myself I won’t miss you
But I remembered
What it feels like beside you
[Chorus]
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
[Verse 2]
While lookin’ through your old box of notes
I found those pictures I took
That you were lookin’ for
If there’s one memory I don’t wanna lose
That time at the mall
You and me in the dressing room
[Pre-Chorus]
I told myself I won’t miss you
But I remembered
What it feels like beside you
[Chorus]
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
[Bridge]
The bed I’m lyin’ is getting colder
Wish I never would’ve said it’s over
And I can’t pretend
I won’t think about you when I’m older
Cause we never really had our closure
This can’t be the end
[Chorus]
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
[Outro]
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
And I think you should know this
this voice can never be imitated
Bands always break up and think they are the important ones - but let’s be clear. The LEAD SINGER is ALWAYS the important one. His voice. Can go with any band
There's a few that are quite good but yh Austin John Winkler was the most important one after he left they all went down hill and failed
To hear the person you love say those words to you is more pain than you can bare almost. When you know they just can't stop the drug abuse. This song gives me a little hope every time I hear it. Praying for a miracle.
Don't give up to God
still here listening 2016! what more do we want...incredible.
Im a recovering addict, and i told my mom the same thing. I still battle with it, but never lose hope. Im an alcoholic, i was able to cut pills and other things out of my life... one night i was hammered drunk and didnt want to take my mom to the hospital..
14 hours later i had to start planning her funeral. Not sure why i said that, but this song hits me too. I know im not helping, but dont ever give up on him. If he said that then he knows, and he loves you more than you know
Beautiful song..Sad video 🎶🙏☮️💐
The savory sound of this man’s voice is a gift from heaven indeed. Pure Elysium.
He actually sounds like John Cooper from Skillet!
really good song about a guy who realizes for whatever reason that the woman he loves can be much happier with someone else so he removed himself from the equation.
jcrazy bitch
well that's how the females feel when we listen to it
joey or it’s the opposite
Bought this album when it came out but never watched the video like a stooge………. Jeez this is a heartbreaker ….. so an under appreciated band…. Pardon me for my youth at the time..
I love this song and how it just makes you feel!
I think you can do much better than me
After all the lies that I made you believe
Guilt kicks in and I start to see
The edge of the bed
Where your nightgown used to be
I told myself I won't miss you
But I remember
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
While looking through your old box of notes
I found those pictures I took
That you were looking for
If there's one memory I don't want to lose
That time at the mall
You and me in the dressing room
I told myself I won't miss you
But I remember
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
The bed I'm lying in is getting colder
Wish I never would've said it's over
And I can't pretend... I won't think about you when I'm older
Cause we never really had our closure
This can't be the end
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
(And I think you should know this)
(You deserve much better than me)

Same team ✌️
Shit i been crying all Damm night
The only reason I looked this song up was to remind me of my ex wife.....
2023! Man they don’t make music like this anymore 😢❤
In my 20s this song hit different and helped me through so much pain. I still cry when I hear this song.
Smile God loves you and so do I my sister
Sometimes in life, truly loving a person means letting them go rather than breaking their heart
This song reminds of my baby brother.God knows he fought so hard to live.He suffered so bad from drugs he was such a great person. And my heart is so broken 💔 😞 I tried to save him but the drug had so much control on him .I will always wonder how why I just couldn't save him no matter what I said he just didn't listen now he's gone at 38 years old .Before he lost his life that day he was homeless we had not known he was till they came with the bad news that he was gone.I love you always my baby brother. RIP JOHNNY 🙏 07/20/2022 FLY HIGH NOW AND YOUR FREE OF THE DAMON'S THAT TOOK YOU.
my heart goes out to you in such a huge way. i am so sorry for your great loss and i cant say that i can come close to knowing what that was like for you. Unfortunately, i can relate to your brothers sadness. i had an issue with alcohol for 8 to 10 years. i suffer from horrible OCD and bi polar 1. Addiction mixed with other major mental illnesses and of course the non stop suicidal thoughts for 43 years and two epic failed attempts has me fighting a war within myself every single day of my life and scary enough i always and forever will. i know how this side feels and we are scared too death and completely lost, but i know our loved ones suffer the most. God Bless you and your family.
@@bethdenton7698 Thank you and GodBless to you 🙏 pray for you on your progress of your sobriety. I'm also a recovering addict I'm clean for almost 5 years now been a long road for me.I tried to save my baby brother.God knows I tried but it was just to late for him this time I always thought being the oldest of 3 siblings I would be the first to go but didn't expect my baby brother to go first from the rest of us 💔 😢. Thank you very much for the kind words GodBless sweetie
2022 anyone still listening to the legend ??
2024 brotha man 💯
music is so powerful, I was a heroin addict from 18-24 I'm 27 now and been clean for almost 3 years, for anybody going through addiction oor rough times, it will get better ,for me I was on rock bottom so nowhere to go but up. keep your head up and have faith,even if you don't believe, we Al need something higher than our selves to be believe in
The dance, singing this to each other. That memory will always burn within my heart. RIP RDBJ. 89 to 12.
these comments make me tear up. each and every one of you are strong ❤ keep your head high, you've got this! im proud of how far everyone has come
Please dont give up on him ... i was an addict for over 15 years and all my momma wanted was to see her son clean but either way she loved me no matter what ... i lost her 2 years ago and it hurts me cause now she not here to witness my sobriety ... 😢
life is beautiful. please don't let drugs take over your life. love the song.
Marie Flowers good advice 💕💕
Still can't believe that voice comes out of him
taryn_corley I believe he is Steven Tyler's love child.
Recover alcoholic here, who sent their significant other (now spouse) I’ve spent 7 years with to detox to come off of alcohol too. He completed the program, did well and 4 months later, fell off, hanging with his toxic, drunk, junkie ex. He used it as an excuse for our arguing, which was actually me wanting better for him, as I WAS THAT alcoholic for 12 years of my life. Long story short, he got his karma, and 1st DUI, which has landed him in jail. That jail saved his life. I saved him from the ground, but couldn’t save him from jail. I pray he stays on the right path when he gets out, as we have two girls under age 10 that love and need their daddy. ❤ I’ve stuck by him through everything, knowing what it’s like because that WAS me.
This song is SO deep, and depicts our relationship at its toxic point (alcohol not drugs), from his POV. Listen to it all the time as a reminder of what I won’t tolerate and what he could lose, what could happen. ❤
God I love this song ~ it makes me cry every time...
I told myself I won’t miss you, but I remember, what it feels like beside you. I really miss your hair in my face.. thats hard af
I miss you
Lol this song has no real meaning to me nor do I have any sort of depression I just like this kind of music
@@leclipse360 then enjoy that shit
This rips your heart out
Emy Creighbaum yes it does
Couldn't agree more.
Yes it does i agree
Yes, always makes you think of the one who you would rather be with. My heart aches 😢💔
Druggies should deserve all they get they know all the dangers but ignore then bloody muppets
Hinder was the opening band to my first concert. They were great live
Criminally under appreciated
hinder at there best....when I'm down I listen to them....most of the time it brings me down even more
I miss my middle school days, when mtv still had good music. This song still invokes strong emotions in me.
