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’m leaving this comment here so every time someone likes it I will be reminded of this beautiful song
❤
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
GetNicole'sLook Same...
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
Ikr
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 😭❤️
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. (if you need any extra help, crisistextline.org offers amazing mental health resources 🦋 stay safe and reach out if you need to)
@Carly Bennett me too 😌
i´m 12 and I fell the same way as you
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 💖
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
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

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
Yup

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
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’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
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

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 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
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 :(
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 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...

nArWhAl_ tAkEn this song is a chance to change that.
I’m 22. Haven’t talked to my parents in 5 years, I showed them this song because I didn’t know how to say sorry to them, and. Ow were working through it. So, yeah thank you sooo much Anna!
been 3 years, hope it went well :)
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! 💞
💕
I’m a child and now I understand how bad I messed up but I gave my heart to Jesus and I ask for forgiveness but you learn from mistakes and that’s just life even if you pray and read the Bible don’t keep doing it love you Jesus amen 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
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 really love this song. It's my favorite. People listen to this and say it's not real music... I don't know how this isn't "real music" cause it's damn amazing
Same
I dont know who da faq said that this was not real music
But i don't really like it a lot
+IdeasOnEK then why are you here?
this is one of my favorite songs. not because i can necessarily relate, but because it shows true emotion and is sung beautifully.
same
Totally agree
same
agree
yesss
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
anyone else relate to this really hard?
Human Ward me

ME
yes me
Human Ward me..
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
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
"I'm sorry mom and dad i know I've messed up bad, i should've done better."
"i know i didn't make you proud"
Sincerely your daughter.
This is exactly what i wanna say this moment.
chills so many chills.

I've never ever cried because of a song (ive heard many emotional songs) but this... oh my.
As a mother.. this break's my heart... We still love you!
Forget that picture you have carried; embrace the future as it is.. not as we think it should be!
Truthfully, I'm happy with our people. My kids and THIER children are all I need; took me forever to realize it. 😉🤍🌹
Learn WHO you are. 💋
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.
No matter what, this song will always hold a special place in my heart.
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?
me coming back after many months because i suddenly thought of the lyrics since i'm back in the same situation *again* :
aw, shit, here we go again
stabby stabby me

I have been waiting for this ever since you posted the 6 sec preview 😭

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
:)
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
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.
First gave me chills then all of a sudden BOOM tears. So relatable :(

+Kassidy Millington Same...
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.
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.
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)
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.
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
I never had a Dad but hearing her sing makes me want one and climb a mountain for him
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.
Thank u mom and dad for loving and supporting me even when I'm a total failure
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 obsessed with this song

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😂

ANNA PLEASE READ THIS! My name is Isa and I'm 16. Three years ago i found out that i have an eating disorder, well my parents found out cause' i already knew it, and I was never happy with my body and my face and nothing that comes from me, my parents tried many things to help me and I never got to do what they ask me to. So one day I saw you audition for American's Got Talent in the internet, and i thought your voice was so amazing so I search more about you and I found the video you made about your story, and I though you are so confident and strong and wish i could be like you, so before some time following you i realize that i could be like that i just have to work for it. Now I know i'm perfect as i am, obviously i don't think it every time but when i'm feeling horrible i think about you, and how strong you are and that i can be like that. So thank you for helping me, I really love you! I hope you have read this and sorry if i sad something wrong, I'm from Brazil, thanks!
gurl omg you'll u legit almost made me cry stay love😭💪❤

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
Anna we just recently discovered who you are ..we watched the video for agt..you were a mess but you came out and gave us all what was in your heart...i can relate to your anxiety disorder ..i'm not really a people person ...large crowds make me nervous ...i'm glad you can put your feelings into your music and release your fears and thoughts and emotions in the lyrics..keep doing what you do and you will be a superstar ..
is anyone else waiting for this on iTunes...? 🤔❤️😍
yesss i am
Yassss!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes
its on Itunes in the Description
this is new!
Four years later and I’m still coming back. This song is so full of pure emotion and your voice is captivating. Thank you !
Outside people will talk about our parents failure to grow their children up but no one ever see the one that failed is their children, the parents keep supporting their children
But the children will always blame their self
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.
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
I know about your story, but I think the story aside, your message is something many young adults can relate to. The message comes across. I think a lot of us have experienced hardships, been mean, even horrible to our parents because of it , when they didn't deserve it. Not just a feeling but a realisation that even your parents are just people going through stuff. Being older you feel you need to apologise, though they won't hear of it. To them there is nothing to apologise for. But it shows a lot of love and a lot of appreciation, and that is what every parent deserves, doing the hardest 'job' in the world. Thank you for sharing.
Mum and dad just won't to say that thanks for helping me out with myself and other stuff just found out being honest with you guys and I have PTSD and thanks so much for helping me out with myself and it's I like my music to thanks again sad but true lost my soulmate everything I won't love him big time Stewart I will never forget that you are amazing I hope you are doing well and are ok miss you big hugs Neshar Jones
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
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.

For the people crying over this song, know that you are worth it. You may not see it by yourself, but remember that butterflys can't see their own beauty, so please do not give up on yourself, your life has so much in front of it, you may not be what you wanted to be right now, but you will be what you are destined to be in the future. You can do it, because you are amazing in your own way and you are important and you are loved.
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 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 see the comments and they are like im sorry mom and dad..., we all has done this thing when we were 13 we all did something bad to them we all said bad things to them i know maybe we well regret what we did but thats us, we need to grow up and make them proud of us no matter what we did when we were teenagers, sending so much love to everyone ❤️
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

Holy shit I'm literally bawling. I struggle with an anxiety disorder/PTSD/depression, and it's literally an everyday struggle. I'm a junior and I'm being forced to make adult decisions and my parents keep telling me they're all wrong, this song is so relatable and let's me know I'm not alone. Thank you for sharing something so personal yet so relatable. So much love for you and your music. ❤️
You are such an inspiration to so many people, myself included. I was diagnosed with anxiety and bipolar depression when I was 12. I'm 23 now and I still struggle with confidence and putting myself out there on a daily basis. But watching your journey has truly given me hope that a better time is coming. Thank you for having the strength and courage and for believing in what you love.
2 years ago I genuinely believed that I was a disappointment and wouldn't be anything else and today I finally decided to be a US Marine... things get better and no one deserves to feel like that
I cried like I never did before... Thank you, Anna, for this amazing voice and music. The emotions in this song are so deep ;-;
THIS SONG NEEDS TO BE ON SPOTIFY! IT IS AMAZING
Our English teacher made us listening to this in the class... THEY ARE TEACHING YOUR SONG!!!
says a lot about our parents when so many people can relate so deeply with this song
Why are masterpiece songs like this so underrated?
This song is whole another emotion
This song hits me like bricks every time I hear it
This song makes me cry every time. Anna is a beautiful inspiration. Human, fragile, strong, amazing, compassionate, and talented! We’re all a mix of good and bad, failures, mistakes, wins, and successes. Stay strong y’all!! ♥️♥️♥️
You know you've made such a great song when people still come to listen after 4 years
This song forever makes me cry...

Anna, I'm pretty much the same person as you - diagnosed with anxiety and depression at a young age and dropped out of college after only a few days because I was having panic attacks and went back home to live with my parents and I'm almost 19 and finally just got my first job. I feel you, girl.
i'm 14 and i have anorexia, anxiety and depression. i also have 14 other chronic medical conditions that have no cure (including ehlers danlos sydrome, fibromyalgia, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, ect). i'm so scared for my future. i feel like i let my parents down everyday because some days i'm too sick to even get out of bed. i take over 53 pills a day just to be able to function. i am in the hospital all the time. i feel like a burden. sorry, i just needed to get that off of my chest, i'm going through a rough time right now. i just want you to know that your comment inspired me so much. stay strong because things will get better. you can beat anxiety and depression. you have to have pain to know what joy feels like. have a good day.. stay strong
+Jessica Geraci stay strong Jess. it may feel like things will never get better but just believe in yourself that you will be able to pull yourself through this. x
Jessica Geraci
who the hell would dislike this. r u serious Anna is ridiculously good. listen to her, she can sing, she can write.
There probably in hell atm if they disliked this
The moral of life is be grateful for the opportunity to be able to make any progress with the world
i love her voice so much it's unreal. + her songwriting skills are insane.
