Two years ago, I was a college drop out with nowhere to go and no plans for the future. I moved back in with my parents and felt like the biggest failure. For the past two years I’ve had an internal conflict about whether I was good enough, whether I my parents were proud of me.
So I took all those feelings of failure and let down and put them into this song. This is for anyone who has ever felt like they let their parents down, like they weren’t good enough, or like they messed up bad … this is for you.
Thank you for supporting me and waiting so long for this song. This is the live studio version so be on the look out for a mixed and mastered version on my NEW EP COMING SOON titled ‘Unfiltered’ (release TBD).
If you like this song.
If it speaks to you.
If it makes you cry.
Whatever it makes you feel, leave a like for me.
I love you all so much, thank you for your continued support. I would not be able to make music without it!

I didn't realise how bad I thought I was until I was crying over this song. I'm not smart, I don't have any talents, I don't have many friends and I feel like I'm just here, just living. I don't know what my purpose is and I feel like such a failure. I don't want to be going to college and I am still annoyed that I didnt do very well in my GCSE's. I have always wanted to buy them a lovely house they are proud of but I am realising that buying my own house will be such a struggle that I probably won't be able to. my life is just not how I had hoped. all I wanted was friends, to be happy and maybe a boyfriend at least once in my life 😄
update, I am screwing things up. I didn't go to college these past 2 days and college called my mum (lmao) but I really don't enjoy it. I have no idea what I want to do but I'm thinking that this is not it. I need some advice on what im supposed to do 😁
yeah, that sounds amazing! my instagram is nicoledasx 💕
I don't have friends cause I am a nerd the do not like me
but now I am 15 yrs old and now I have about 2 friends

I’m leaving this comment here so every time someone likes it I will be reminded of this beautiful song
❤
Well, i lost my mum when i was born. My father who drunk EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. He once got way TOO drung and pushed me to the ground. The police came and got him, now i live with my grandma who is my mum in a way cuz she raised me now im 13 and 6 years ago this happend to me. I never knew how it feels like to have a mother. Mum i hope we'll see eachother one day in heaven ❤
I'm so sorry to hear that.
ilovehim somuch awwwwww!!!!!!!😇😇😇😇😇😇
I’m so sorry
I'm so sorry to hear that the only thing I have to say is DONT COMMIT SUICIDE
Oh my goodness....I can’t even imagine what you’ve been through. I also live with my grandma....but loosing your mom! I can’t image like I feel so bad. I would take your pain if I could and I wish I could. Just know your not alone 💖
I am 15 and each time I listen to this song, I just feel so bad and feel so much guilt for the way I treated my parents. They were trying their best. They are human. Im sorry Mum and Dad. I may never say it, but I love you so much and I swear I can't live without them
Yeah
I'm 12 same kinda
hey ❤️ it’s okay. i hope you’re okay now. i’ve been there, and i’m 17, going on 18 now and have learned to do better. to feel better. to forgive myself. i totally believe that you will too, if you haven’t already.

@Carly Bennett me too 😌
i´m 12 and I fell the same way as you
Why is no one talking about how amazing her voice is! And this is live wtf I’m so shook it’s like the original version

Ana M. Same
she does have AMAZING vocals. This song has such a deep meaning.
wait wait wait ..... this isnt original? :D
And this is even emotional 😭❤️
aww u can see the pain in her
me..
Me too
Me too
Me too
Yeh
POV: it’s 2023 and I’m still listening to this bc I know I messed up as a child but my mother will always love me the way my father couldn’t and for that I thank her everyday ❤️
its 23 and im the child that gets all the hate haha
UR 100TH LIKEE
From a mom: No child ever has to apologize. You are always loved unconditionally. No matter what
You really must be an amazing to be saying that. Hate to break it to you but a lot of times it's not like that.
@@abeshbot887 I'd argue that either your parent loves you unconditionally, in which case they wouldn't want you to apologize for trying your best. Or your parent loves you conditionally (or doesn't love you) in which case you don't owe them an apology, anyway.
@@yuukinoyuki9064 not all parents deserve even being called parents. Unconditional love is great, but not all of children get to have it.
@@hanaarmy1305 Yeah, that was the point of my 2nd sentence. You don't owe an apology to people who don't even deserve the title "parent."
i thank you 💗i wish my parents said that
Anna, I'm breathless. This is so painfully honest and beautiful. 💛
+JessiSmiles Omg i literally fangirled when i saw your comment xD ♥♥♥
Omg your so right

I cry everytime the line “I had the world at my feet before I could even stand” comes on and I can’t stop crying. I love my parents with my whole heart and this hits hard
I ruined everything
Who else thinks she should have her parents react to this song and post it if they haven't already heard it
YES
Definitely
good idea
YESSSS
+Mackenzie Cookiez She is, on her twitter she said in 2 days
For anyone writing comments that are saying horrid stuff about themselves.
You're you you were put on this earth for a reason. So love yourself!
💕
kia I was put on this earth to make everyone els3 look smart to to be belittled by my best friend I have no purpose here
Anthony Priamo not true
Thankyou 💙
To love yourself is honestly very hard to do
I'm really sad about my friend because her family calls her useless when she makes a mistake. I love her tho. I'm always here for her
Fudge GG good she needs ur company stay near her xD
rosie illston Yeah. Thanks xD
because everbody want something of you and for them you have to be perfect and in this progresy i often loss my self. In the trying to give everbody the best. My mum wants a daughter with good grades and that i don't forgoot her keys, learn and have a perfect room, my teacher want that i always come at the right time to school , my sister want's a better version of my, My friends want that i be my self when they have problems have a listening ear, my dad want's a good girl but he hes the opposide of a good dad, and lot of more thinks ever day people want from me.At the Point when everbody want something of me inside mi soul scream:,, STOP IAM NOT PERFECT AND IF U WANT ME TO BE LIKE THIS THAN WAIT UNTIL 2200 MAYBE THERE U CAN BY A ROBOTER WITH NO MISTAKES,but iam only a girl a human that make sometimes bad descions, yes come to late to school, were a bad girl sometimes but that's all part of my self. All day you have to think of so much things and if you forget something or make something not right the World broke up like u are the only human in these big world with kore than Milions of people...
Alicia love ); Yep thats right, Be yourself :)
MSTR Gaming my dad is the same way. he calls me names all the time and he tweaks when I make a mistake or forget. but I mean he has his good moments 😊
I’m a mom, and I promise all of you, your mom and dad absolutely love and adore you, no matter what! You are enough, just as you are. Square your shoulders and keep moving forward. We ALL make mistakes. Just learn from them and go forward. You are beautiful.
Thank you, I still have a chance to have a life still, and love my parents, and have a future, Im using that advantage to make my parents proud and I will work for them and tale care of them like they take care of me right now, Im 11 turning 12 in September, Im gonna get a Degree and a grade to be someone they’re proud of and taken care of. I won’t disappoint them. They take good care for me and made sacrifices for me, and now I will make them proud of me!
you know for someone who is a mother i would've thought you knew that most parents think they are top of the word when they are around you. I cant even ask the question "why" in my household without getting lectured with, "Why must you know?" "*silence*" "I'm the mother you are the child i don't have to explain everything to you.". Its more difficult then you propose it to be and when you can't remember the last time your mother asked if you are ok its a slight issue.
Absolutely true!
This helped me thank you..
Thank you
With a daughter with such an amazing voice I don't think they were ever disappointed with her.
That's ridiculous!!! SOOOOO MUCH MORE TO LIFE! OBVIOUSLY, otherwise, she wouldn't have written this song!
She wrote this song about her life
I just sung this song to my mom and dad and they started crying and said....sweetie it’s ok 👌....just be the best u can be..and I was crying...

@Shaarav Guha holy-
My parents told me I could be anything I wanted when I grow up and choose to be a disappointment
But is that what you wanted?
this is so emotional and so perfect.
im 13 right now and im so scared for my future
im scared i wont be good enough
im scared i wont get through highschool
im scared i dont know what ill do.
*if you think you arent good enough
for your parents think again*
Trust me it will get better just believe
trust me your way better then me i treated my parents so poorly
Tell me about it ❤❤
💕
You got this!
Both my parents passed away, and this song just really gets to me. Im still young, but i wish i wouldve accomplished more while they were here and just make them the proudest they could be. Im sorry Ma and Pa. Im sorry
I'm sure that they were proud of everything you've accomplished and loved you for it! I'm so sorry for your loses :(
Angie Quinonez that is so sad and I send my love to you, your Mum and Dad would be more proud of you than you could realise and remember their love for you was unconditional and would want nothing more than you to be happy ☺️💙
Angie Quinonez I'm sorry. It's not your fault. They were proud of you. Why? Because you are their child. They must have loved you and they wouldn't want you beating yourself up.
I am sorry for your loss
Angie Quinonez im sorry for your loss
i feel like this every single day.... every day i lock myself into the bathroom and make myself cry...... and act like i didnt cry....
Me too 💔 but nobody knows it 🥺
The bathroom is prolly one of my favorite places. I can cry all i want, with water running down from the faucet to drown out my cries, then wash my face up afterwards. Best thing is, they will just think i had to go to the bathroom. When I'm curled up in a ball, on the tiles.
I can relate
The bathroom is my 1st best friend.... when i cry it don't laugh or go and tell anyone that I'm crying
Me too💔and nobody know
I litterally cried so much😢😢😢 my grandma takes care of me cuz me parents are seperated so i live with my grandma. I been in a fight with her alot of times and i hated her when that happens. But whenever im sick she always take good care of me but i diddnt notice that. When i heard this song i thinked twiced and i looked at my grandma and shes doing lots of work. I felt so sorry for her.
I hugged her and sang some parts of this song. Then i promist myself ill take good care of her when im older like she did to me☺
Gwenneth Calage awhhh ❤️
Gwenneth Calage I literally cried listening to this song and reading your comment
Gwenneth Calage me too I'm with my grandparents and I have a bro from a different dad
Gwenneth Calage I read this and literally cried
tysm for this it actually really got to me bcs I'm in a very similar situation..i lost both of my parents and am now living with my grandparents and ive treated them so badley and your positive attitude really showed me how I should be acting too
This song helped wake me at one of the lowest points of my life. After I listened to it for the first time and hearing it accurately express everything I wish I could say to my parents, I cried all night, listening to it on repeat. I was never a bad kid, but I was too mature for my own good, not fitting in with my peers and not being taken seriously by those who were older than me. It made me extremely insecure and I became detached from the world around me, watching my life fall to pieces but unable to overcome the fear and anxiety of facing it. But I was able to rise above it and get my life back on a track I could control and now have more freedom than I could ever wish. Thank you Anna Clendening. I don't know if mere words could capture my gratitude to you. Thank you
This is what RUclips should be for. A song, a video, _words_ that touch someone else. And this song and your comment are that for me :)
I swear we are the same person..... Im th exact same and Im only 16 :(

I'm sorry mum and dad, I know I messed up bad
I should've, should've done, should've done better
I'm sorry mum and dad, for all the time I had
To get my life, to get my life together,
But I didn't
1993, you gave birth to me
Sweet little baby girl
Had the world in my feet
Before I could even stand
Cradle me in your right and left hand
Precious bundle of unmade plans
Hopes and dreams of bigger things
A bright future so it seemed
But that light grew a little less bright
As I grew and we began to fight
When I was 13, I was so damn mean
Running away, had nothing more to say
Than I hate you
But that's not true now
I just don't, I just don't know how to say
I'm sorry mum and dad, I know I messed up bad
I should've, should've done, should've done better
I'm sorry mum and dad, for all the time I had
To get my life, to get my life together,
But I didn't
You never talk about to your friends
Because you must be so embarrassed
I dropped out of college without any plans
Moved back home I couldn't even pay rent
I was living on your couch trying to figure it out
Putting myself up and tearing myself down
I'm sorry mum and dad, I know I messed up bad
I should've, should've done, should've done better
I'm sorry mum and dad, for all the time I had
To get my life, to get my life together,
But I didn't
I'm sorry that I couldn't buy you, that house upon the hill
Or take care of all your medical bills
I know I didn't make you proud
I should've been someone by now
But I never figured out how
I'm sorry that I couldn't buy you, that house upon the hill
Or take care of all your medical bills
I know I didn't make you proud
I should've been someone by now
But I never figured out how
I'm sorry mum and dad, I know I messed up bad
I should've, should've done, should've done better
I'm sorry mum and dad, for all the time I had
To get my life, to get my life together,
I'm sorry mum and dad, I know I messed up bad
I should've, should've done, should've done better
I'm sorry mum and dad, for all the time I had
To get my life, to get my life together,
But I didn't
This guy needs more likes beacause he/she wrote the whole song
Martyna 1908 “cutting myself up, and tearing myself down” 🙃
Umm, I just wanna ask... did u copy the lyrics from google ? Cuz when the lyrics is "You never talk about to your friends" it must be "You never talk about me to your friends" and if you see it on google it is "You never talk about to your friends" Well...... I could be wrong but, oh well
@@CeciliaEvelyn just, let the person be
@croissant gaming yeah.. you're right, I'll let that person be who he/she is.. Thx for telling me that, I kinda feel bad now (sry my English sucks)
This song is so emotional, relatable and raw. It reminds me of my friend and she is having family problems. Her parents fight almost everyday and they blame everything on her. They shout at her before finishing a sentence, she’s been failing classes due to personal issues. She can’t even talk to her parents for a second. The only people she can talk too about her problems are her brothers. But the thing is, they don’t give a damn about her and what she is going through. She had too move schools and leave all of her childhood friends behind. She has blocked me and most of the others, and idk how to help her. I tried giving her advice ,but the next day...that was when she blocked me.
Meera if you are reading this, let us help you. We won’t let you go through this alone. Remember we love you! 💞

If I was your mum, I would forgive you so much... ❤️
Parents will always forgive you :)
+Federica Farinazzo 😊
+Federica Farinazzo that's not always the case...
No, parents don't always forgive you and it goes both ways. I will never forgive my father for something he did and still to this day hasn't apologised. It just shows how much you can emotionally and physically hurt someone before they just stop forgiving
Anna Kingsley
I keep seeing a lot of comments just saying horrible things about themselves. Just remember that everything happens for a reason and there will always be someone who loves you even if you feel like no one does. It's ok to mess up. It's not ok to downgrade yourself because of it. If you find someone who loves you back grab them and never let go. If you find a healthy thing that interests you, do it. It could take a long time to get your life back on the right tracks but it will happen. Never give up.
CAN PEOPLE STOP TELLING PEOPLE THIS?! IT DOESNT HELP AND WE DONT BELIEVE ANYTHING FROM IT EVEN IF WE SAY WE DO! WE END UP FEELING WORSE FROM THESE COMMENT BELIEVE IT OR NOT. >;(

I've never ever cried because of a song (ive heard many emotional songs) but this... oh my.
Anyone reading this, I have three words for you.
*KEEP MOVING FORWARD*
I know you’ve probably heard those words a lot. But they’re true. I know this because I’ve seen things no kid should EVER have to see. If you let it go, it gets easier. It still hurts but the pain is more bearable than it was. God bless you! ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️
How do I keep moving forward
@@jasminerhodes7303 you try to let go of the past, you don’t forget it, but you accept that what’s done is done. It’s a hard thing to do but it pays off.
Thx i needs this words today
no other song has made cry as much as this one did......its so relatable I feel like I'm a war against them right now because we had a big fight and I got slapped so that night I ran away for almost a week then I came back crying and my moms mad at me because I haven't talked to anyone at all since I came back.........
Unicorn Llama I know I'm a stranger and I'm not privy to all your details. But your parents care. Do your best and appreciate the things they sacrificed for you. Whenever you get mad at them, try to stay calm. Close your eyes and count to 10, and try not to raise your voice.
Damn it, who put onions in my room! 😭 This so beautiful! Ahhhhhhh I'm not crying! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
yeah, me too, it is so beautiful. i see myself again in this song how i was.
this is one of my favorite songs. not because i can necessarily relate, but because it shows true emotion and is sung beautifully.

oh my word. this is one of the most beautifully raw and emotional originals I have ever heard. I just discovered you today and regret that I didn't find you so much earlier. You're one of those artists people 'need' in their lives, not just because you sing good but you created something beautiful that made me actually 'feel' something. Love you! Keep it up!
awww you replied! :"))) love you beautiful!
thatnoisykidintheback حلوة
thatnoisykidintheback n
I do have to agree with all those things about this artist. She is a wonderful and truthful original singer/songwriters!!
can anyone tell me where the parents reaction to this song? 🤔
I feel like this song especially goes out to the silently abused.. The ones abused behind closed doors.. The ones who kept quiet with no strength or courage to beg for help..
Its been a roller coaster 35 years. Recovering from the silent abuse as a child. When my dream of being a Marine were taken away.. I had nothing. I've floundered.. Healing is the only was to outlive your past. Confront the demons, get it out. Get help. Get help if you're connecting with us. If you're one like me. You're strong for being here. There is So Much Strength in Asking for help. You're strong. You're here. Embrace Now. Plan for the future. Not mourn the past.
I love this song. i'm a freshmen in high school so it's not like I experienced a lot but I have done so much messed up things. My best friend had been in jail 3 times and I put potheads in my life. I came across this song at 3 in the morning and it hit me so damn hard. I went into my freshmen year left almost all of my old 'friends' behind. I can now say I have a 3.5 GPA and have great real, friends. it's crazy what one song can do.
First gave me chills then all of a sudden BOOM tears. So relatable :(

I feel like I'm a failure to my mom.....
You are your worst critic, don't beat yourself up like that! It's never too late to pick yourself back up and make your life worth something! You mean more than a failure to your mom! It might be hard to see your good qualities but you have them! You're not a failure! I hope you'll realise that sooner than later ☺
Anonymous Girl your not your perfect don't worry there will be many people who love you
Me too I feel like I'm so stupid I try my best to help them and make them happy but I just cant

entertainment olivia & daisy Don't Feel like that Your not a failure nobody is you can't fail completely because when your at the bottom you can only go up So you will be okay you will get better don't worry. I know this is what everyone says but everyone says it because is true x
No matter what, this song will always hold a special place in my heart.
Hi, I'm Catarina and i'm 17. I only want to say that i start crying since the beggining of this song, because i'm feeling everything you said in this moment.
I feel that life is conspiring against me, I feel that I am disappointing my parents, but above of all, myself ... I feel that I am not strong enough to overcome what are passing in my life.. everything that is happening is such difficult to accept ... This music Just deserved likes .. You turn all my feelings into words .. and I think that only who really goes through this, it will understands.
Btw i'm Portuguese so sorry for my English.
Thank you for this song,
Cat
everything she said is so treu, im 13 years
Dear Cat,
Everything falls apart in everyone's lives, but everyone is strong enough to get through it. Idk what you are going through, or what you might be feeling, but I have felt a certain feeling of loss and feeling as though I have dissapointment. Life conspires against you for a reason, to shove the strength out of you. Everything that life throws at you has a purpose, just know it will get so much better soon. I know everyone says this, all the time, trust me, but you will get through it. Life is like a dirt road, it has bumps and divots and you're just sitting there like, "when will we reach solid ground?" but it will be ok, you will eventually reach the smooth ride. Just keep breathing, telling yourself you are worth it. Everyone has a low point, but we can get our lives together. *
Hi Cat I understand you deeply , btw I’m Portuguese too , I just want to let you know that whatever you went through I’m sure it got better and I hope you found the strength in you that you needed ❤️lots of love Luana x
Catarina Fernandes me tooooo....😭😢
I regret everything i say...
same I'm also portuguese
Even tho I am just 15 I really think this is exactly how I will be in the future... A failure for my parents...😢
Cool more edgy teenagers
Im 16 and i feel like ive been such a disappointment to my parents.
Ive been threw a lot of shit with school and social media.
I got involved with the wrong type of people and started doing drugs. My mum found out and i felt like she hated me but she didn't. Yeah she was disappointed that i had gone down that road and started drugs.
Its gotten to the point that i dint want to burden my mum with my problems coz she doesnt need it in her life as well. I get all emotional around her now coz i lie to her and say im fine but im not fine but she doesn't see what goes on in my mind.
Kek, you know you can maybe talk to her? NAH THAT WOULD BE WEIRD. If you are serious talk to your mum. I failed school and I still know im a disappointment but idc. If you really feel that much talk to her :/
LikeRida I've talked to my mom and she doesn't care. Talking doesn't always help, and for me it kinda just made things worse.
A Common Sad Human honestly if you fucked up that bad if you want you parent(s) to feel proud do something to make that happen they have no reason to just feel happy for you
I love this song. I'm 23, and a manic depressant with social and generalized anxiety. Last year I had a bad break up. Which led me to loose a great job that most people would give a arm and a leg for, a current addiction to Xanax, and a suicide attempt that forever leaves its mark. The lyrics for me hits home, I went to a ministry today and was saved but i could not join their 6 month program until i'm sober for 10 days. So for these upcoming days im going to hold ISAIAH 41:10 at heart.
BTW I was an Atheist until today, I was feeling down and hadn't left home for almost 3 weeks. I fell asleep with the tv on and woke up to a church program for some reason (blessing in disguise) I did not feel the urge to change the channel, he spoke of some troubles he had and then quoted isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ I immediately had cold chills, I honestly believe God woke me up to hear this. So being a man of odd's I sought out a church and was saved, the feeling I had after I was saved is like no other. A high almost, its defiantly euphoric. Just like now I had a sudden urge to post this. Welp enough of my ramblings...
sincerely Knoname
+knoname may God be with you. you can make it through this, you have God and all his followers with you
:)
Coming back to litsen to this song as an adult who's at home, trying to find a job, didn't go to college, just barley graduated high-school, makes me cry so much more then when I was listening to this at 14
I am crying because I messed up so bad with my dad and how can he be disappointed in me because I want to be who I am and he just don't care about me. He wants talk to me and I have gave him a 2nd chance but no more chances.
Bailey Martin I agve thousands of changes but he never tryed to make things better now he wants another chance but I can't gave it
i feel like an embarrassment to my parents even though I'm young I have good grades but I have a horrible attitude and I tend to fight with my brother,mom and dad in front of people and I feel like I don't have a good start in life and i know they talk about it but i don't care i am doing this to myself and my only friend was more like family to me because i did not see what i did to my parents and how i just sit around all day not doing something with my life and use your blame my mom for it. she kept me inside but i now understand she dose not want me to get hurt she only wanted the best for me and if you read this , please use your time better than me. your parents are the ones that have your back more than a friend and if you don't you can lose family like i did.
😥😥😥😥
Fam I am the exact same way i may only be 13 but ive fucked up so bad man im such an embarresment i get in so much trouble at home and school and im briliant but my temper is way way to bad i flip at every little thing so your not the only one
RarePinay206 I used to be like you. However, one day I started thinking... What would I do if my parents passed away... Yes, bizarre thought but one day it will happen. So when it does happen I don't wanna have any regrets for the things I didn't/ did do.. Therefore, I help my parents as much as possible. This state of mind changed my life for the better. Now, I choose my parents over little things in life. I also spend as much time as possible so that when they do pass away I won't feel like I wasn't with them the whole time. So if you understand the reality without thinking about yourself but focusing on your parents, in the end you won't regret it. Also, there's another thing you have to know, do anything your parents ask of you, in the beginning you may receive nothing but in the end... You will be gifted with a happy life without regrets. I know I'm repeating the word : 'regret' a lot because think about it... Once someone has died, you literally cannot do anything.. You are hopeless... You can't change the past... Which means you will have to live with the pain of not being with your family. Even if you think your parents don't love you, remember that they do, you may think opposite but no. Even if you think that you have done so many bad things that your parents won't forgive you... Remember that they will. So go to your parents, and spend time with them. However don't say 'sorry' or any of that BS. If your are truly sorry it means that you will never do that thing again but we all make mistakes so it will probably happen.. listen to this advice as I have experienced times where I have done so many bad things that I thought my parents wouldn't forgive me but they did... How this kinda helped with your problem. Remember, you only live once so make the most of it.
RarePinay206 Thanks exactly how I feel about my life
I feel like shit
i keep coming back to these type of songs when i have a sudden rush off guilt for everything i’ve done so i know i’m not necessarily alone.
For someone who still at his or her home, bless you! and for those who faraway from home and couldn't go home, may angel be your friend.
IVE WAITED FOR THIS FOR THE LONGEST TIME! WELL DONE ANNA THIS IS AMAZING AND I CAN CLEARLY SEE WHY YOU TOOK YOUR TIME TO FINISH IT!!
YES
Same
sAME
SAME
SAME
I waited so long for this song it's just as good as I imagined
V tru
It hurts so much more when you can actually relate to every single lyric...
exactly. my heart dropped when i heard it the first time 😭
I’m 38. I work at a job I hate. While I have a college degree, I feel it’s never enough for my mom. Now my son lives with my parents because of his mental health problems. It’s another thing to add to her list of disappointments regarding me.
I’m always trying to seek her approval, but maybe it’s time to leave her toxicity behind. I love my mom with everything I have, but she just makes me feel like I’ll always be a disappointment to her no matter what I do.
Girl, I'm sorry for you. I feel the same that your best is not enough for their expectations.
This song makes me cry. I'm not as old as you. I'm still in high school but it speaks to me. It makes me cry.
I feel like a failure to my parents
One minute into the video.... and I am already crying
I love to hear the pain in her voice. It is a song that hits you in the feels. I cry every time I listen to this song. btw listening 2018
It’s 2023…. I still listen to this
I'm sorry mom and dad
I know I've messed up bad
I should've, should've done, should've done better
I'm sorry mom and dad
For all the time I had
To get my life, to get my life together
But I didn't
1993
You gave birth to me
Sweet little baby girl
Had the world at my feet
Before I could even stand
Cradled me in your right and your left hand
A precious bundle of unmade plans
Hopes and dreams of bigger things
A bright future
So it seemed
But that light grew a little less bright
As I grew up and we began to fight
When I was 13
I was so damn mean
Running away
Had nothing more to say
Than "I hate you"
But that's not true now
I just don't, I just don't, I just don't know how
To say
I'm sorry mom and dad
I know I've messed up bad
I should've, should've done, should've done better
I'm sorry mom and dad
For all the time I had
To get my life, to get my life together
But I didn't
You never talk about me to your friends
Because you must be so embarrassed
I dropped out of college without any plans
Moved back home, I couldn't even pay rent
I was living on your couch
Trying to figure it out
Cutting myself up
Tearing myself down
I'm sorry mom and dad
I know I've messed up bad
I should've, should've done, should've done better
I'm sorry mom and dad
For all the time I had
To get my life, to get my life together
But I didn't
I'm sorry that I couldn't buy you that house upon the hill
Or take care of all your medical bills
I know I didn't make you proud
I should've been someone by now
But I never figured out how
I'm sorry that I couldn't buy you that house upon the hill
Or take care of all your medical bills
I know I didn't make you proud
I should've been someone by now
But I never figured out how
I'm sorry mom and dad
I know I've messed up bad
I should've, should've done, should've done better
I'm sorry mom and dad
For all the time I had
To get my life, to get my life together
I'm sorry mom and dad
I know I've messed up bad
I should've, should've done, should've done better
I'm sorry mom and dad
For all the time I had
To get my life, to get my life together
But I didn't
Sincerely, your daughter
I've been waiting for the full version for so long 💕
Same
am i the only one, who cry about this song?
no.
I have it on repeat and cry every time so no :P
No
Hope i am crying right now
no
Every time I listen to this song I tear up. It's so surreal and personal. Her voice and emotion just make it even more so. You are beautiful and amazing Anna.
This song should be on the radio!
Agreed
Yes please!
Yess
+Zoe Karina AGREEEEE!
+Zoe Karina AGREE!!!!!
No matter who's hurting, there is somebody willing to listen. This is why Anna is my favorite music artist. She steps up and she makes people feel better about themselves.
I was born in 1993 and dropped out of college and almost ended up homeless and this song describes my life story perfectly... And now I'm crying 💔
How are you noona?
I can't even begin to explain the way this absolutely breathtakingly beautiful girl Anna has BLOWN me away I seriously want to meet this young talented little lady she is AMAZING in every sense of the word!!! I suffer from the exact same condition she is tormented by,.and just that in itqself is a hugely tremendous accomplishment, she has come so far and I'm positive that she never in a million years imagined that she would be so successful only cause I know that due to the depression and anxiety disorder we are crippled by...we are our own worst critic and judge we listen to these voices that constantly tell us we are never good enough and that we are the ugliest most unworthy of any type of joy or love in this world. In fact to our selves we truly believe that we are FAILURES AND are so not deserving of any love from anyone and noone will ever want to love us or befriend us and we are never going to amount to be anything and noone is ever going to love us. 😥 I'm so PROUD OF HER Anna your a inspiration I'm going to FOLLOW YOU FROM HERE ON OUTSIDE. I TRULY WANT U TO KNOW YOU ARE SOOO GENUINELY GIFTED, YOU MY ANGEL 😇 for sure are I guarantee you are going to take the world by STORM. YOU FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS I KNOW THERE ISN'T A THING YOU CAN'T DO. ❤️🤗😊😁
I'm not the one to cry from listening to a song but I couldn't hold back to this. I'm balling like a baby right now.
same
same!
same >.
+Olivia Luu -_- we read the desc
Nope i am
I cried the first time i listened to this song,, it just gets to me..alot
I listened to this sons a million times and I still get goosebumps whenever I hear it.
Hey Guys, I just wanted to say, that I was here. I was listening to this song on repeat, drowning in my tears at one point. But one day, when i was feeling more lost, and confused. When I realized that I didn't hate the world, I hated myself. I decided to change it, I started finding things that made me happy. I stopped pushing people I cared about away. It took a lot of work, honestly, because habits are nearly impossible to break. But if i can do it, sitting in front of a bottle of pills and blades, you can too. It will be hard, but i promise, i promise you that no matter how u feel, how much self hate u hold. You can change it little by little. Get up, go stand in front of the mirror, and say three things that you like about yourself,or your life. and then comment them here. and then do it again, everyday. You are listening to this song, not because you are weak. but because you are strong, strong enough to face your fears, and brave enough to fight them everyday.
I didn't really realise how far I've come until I heard this song again. I used to cry over this song because it felt true - I'd wasted too much time, I couldn't do anything, I wasn't as good as I wanted to be, and my parents were always embarrassed of me... but now I know I'm good enough, I know I'm forgiven, and I know my parents are proud of me
I've waited for this song for so long😭😍
Thanks for Sharing something emotional like This with us!❤
+Broken Wolf it felt like YEARS. I'm crying a river Here in Germany😂
+Sarahs Welt ✋🏻
samee💕
Omfg same
SAMEEEE
I'm crying..this touched my heart and made me think how I acted towards them
She sings so GOOOOOODDDD!!!
Ik how it feels to be this way I'm 13 and depressed and everyday I try and put on a fake smile and make them happy!
Hey Anna,
This song means so much to me. I lost my month about a month ago. Because of this song it reflects so much about how I am. My anxiety took control of me and I'm still trying to find my strength and who I am. Because of this song it gives me hope that one day I'll find myself like you did. We have so much in common it's crazy. You just sound sooo much better me. Keep making music. Don't forget who you are. You are hope to so many people who are just like me. Just like you. So thank you. You probably never read this and if you do,
You don't have to reply but to please remember me and speak for people like US who have anxiety and explain how it does affect and control us.
Sincerely
Leeandradee , lost Soul
THIS SONG NEEDS TO BE ON SPOTIFY! IT IS AMAZING

I dropped out of college after failing my first semester and being kicked out my house. After a month of living on a friend's couch and staying on the run from home, I was allowed to come back. I feel like such a failure, like nothing I do is ever good enough for anyone, myself included. I feel so much pressure to be somebody, to get my life together, have a good job, drive, have a place of my own but I still don't know what I want to do because I'm interested in so many things. My brain constantly reminds me of my failures, no matter how many times I look at what success I do have, it doesn't even compare.
My grades sucked from middle school onward, and no matter what I do I still can't get it right.
I still can't find it in myself to apologise to my parents for all the shit I've said and done, and it hurts.
Alex Keller I feel the same way life sucks
I sorta understand. I'm still in middle school, and i live with my grandparents. My parents suck! The rest of my family are always comparing me to my crappy parents. "You're gonna be just like them" i have to prove them wrong, but i don't know if i can! My life is full of terrible things, i'm still wondering why i had to be born into this family..
👊🏻
Maybe if you tried in school, you wouldn't have failed. I got good grades and now I go to an Ivy league school. Hard work pays off my dude. If you're bummed out, listen to this story... My mom has zero qualifications whatsoever and still managed to get a decent job.
See, that's why I dropped all my friends. People are distractions.
I showed this to my mom and she cried
I don't like your name on here 'cause its my daughter name in real life
omg stop being dramatic
A lot of people have the same name- +Helene Steed
Y'shaly Satheeskumar how it that stupid? That shows how much sorry she is for how many times she had disappointed her mother
Why are masterpiece songs like this so underrated?
This song is whole another emotion
