This was the song my older brother used to listen to cuz he relates to them. Cuz he was misstreated by my real dad and his real dad left him. One time my brother went to get breakfast, my dad came and took his plate and said he couldn't eat so my brother couldnt eat. After that i started crying so my mom left my dad cuz of what he was doing to my brother. If u are reading this have an wonderful day and never let one of your siblings get misstreated by your parents .Love you even if i dont know u💖💖💖
I'm recently a single mom of 3 beautiful girls, my 5 year old was singing that part the other night in bed. Their dad was always there until 18 mos ago when he started drinking again, he's been in jail 6 mos and will be there another 6. I lost my dad at 12 suddenly to a heart attack and that was the worst way to lose a parent but my dad didn't choose to go. I'll always do my best to help my girl's dad in his recovery so he can be in their lives but I'm only human.
Being a 14 year old who doesn't even know the true definition of a father or even a family this song hits me hard. My dad is a alcoholic and constantly used to verbally and physically abuse me. I remember when I was 12 I played this song out loud and my mom was disappointed because she didn't want me thinking like this,but now I have no choice but to. Fuck you dad
I feel this so fucking much man, only difference is im 18, and he was only around when it was convenient for him, but I remeber when he was around it was all verbal and physical abuse.
jimble jimble that was my stepfather, my father just gets drunk in Nevada with a slut as his girlfriend and her horrible daughter. But my ex-stepfather was horrible, and I thought that that is what you call a family. I thought it was normal to be yelled at if you didn’t clean right or be slapped of you yelled back
Sooooo did any of you called the police and (jimble jimble mother) im dissapointed with your mother thinking that it is not ok to think like that when your father verbally and physical abuse I am still thinking you all should call the police even if you disagree with me.
this reminds me of my mom... man I'm so fucking disgusted with the way some parents just treat their kids and don't even care... if you can't handle a kid why did you fucking have one in the first place... it really pisses me off,this is why many children suffer cus they feel so unloved..
Cristina Mayancela, he does like the song. The word "Badass" just means "cool" or "awesome". He isn't being mean, at all. And thanks Trinity milot. But please guys, no need to argue. This is an awesome song, we should just enjoy it!! :)
Josh Badcob it's ok bro you'll be ight 😆 stay strong soldier that's an order !! I know what you are going through cause I went through it when I was younger. keep your head up Josh
Damn, some fathers really know how to fuck up their kid's lives Kellin misses his father and it was tearing him apart But my father forced me to see him when I didn't want to and that tore me apart PARENTS STEP UP YOUR MF GAME
Ptv Miw same. If I don't go see my dad, he'll take me to court. He's abusive and we always fight when I'm over... I feel like just ending it all because of him.
Same situation except with my mom I have to see her by court and everyone makes excuses for her like she's your mother but she's abusive and she made me hate myself as a kid and she ruined my life but she thinks she's a great mom and she'll never take responsibility or even acknowledge what she's done to me but I still have to see her till I turn 18
No idea why this song popped in my head, used to cry my eyes out to this song after my dad left my disabled mom &I. Today I'm 20, just bought my own car after the one he gave me almost killed me on several occasions. It's tough but I managed somehow &If anyone else is crying over a father that's missing out fuck him! One day you'll be stronger than he ever was,
My father left us when I was just a baby, I only had one vague memory of him which I held on to for my whole life. The day that my aunt delivered news that he had died, when I was 19 yrs old. It was the more relieving day I had ever had in my life. All of the questioning of why he wasn't there, why he.. didn't care (sorry for tacky rhyming just then).. suddenly he had a good enough reason to never be in my life anymore. Dads, unless you are dead, there's no excuse. Your child wants you and needs you in their life. They will think about you every day while the void inside of them grows larger.
I feel. My mother is a druggie and my dad has anger issues. Even tho he's here physically (now, after about maybe 10 years) he's never here mentally and I feel like he just doesn't care.
@@420catboi my fathers been around my whole life but has never been a dad so I understand in a way even when we lived together for several years he was there but wasn’t at the same time…it’s always so hard to explain to people like yes he was there but he wasn’t taking care of me and being a dad he was just there nobody seems to get it
This song has been in my head everyday for the last week. I guess because my father left my mom and I so I never had that connection and recently my girlfriend and I just had a newborn baby. I keep thinking how I could never leave her. I'll always be there for her and be the father I wish I had. I saw all of these comments and I got tears because it sucks. All that pain. Is this what you call a family? That part can hit the feelings. Be strong everyone. Be awesome. Thank you to the owner of this channel. R.A.
That ❤️ made my day. I'm watching the sun come up. Trying to cope with the loss of a friend and my grandpa. I can't deal with the loss. Your cute heart reminds me there's still friends to be made.
Samantha Wale May seem harsh but no matter what stay strong rip away the chains on your heart . To me it hurts, how people are left alone but still be strong the pain will go away and turn into love and strength.
My mom has been gone for 7 years and this song means so much to me. I am now 11 almost 12 and still remember it like it happen yesterday. This song it too relatable.😢
This is for my piece of nothing father who didn't do a damn thing but make my life miserable. He was never around and when he was the only thing he did was drink and beat my mom. But he did me a favor. he made me realise that I am so much better than that. Because of him I fight harder and get a little stronger everyday. He'll never get to see me (his oldest daughter) ever again!
Aj Jacobson I feel the same thing,every time I think of him I just think just bc im his son I dont have too act like him bc I'm better than him bc I'm no coward.
That's shit. I'm lucky to have a dad who stuck it out for aslong as he could. I usually refer this to my mother who was an asshole and had multiple affairs, leaving my dad to look after two kids when he had a fucking shit past and struggled with his mental health. Luckily he left my mother before it was too late. My mother has fucked up me and my dad though and I relate this to her because I wish she'd been around more instead if being a fucking prick.
I love this song, even though I'm close to both of my parents. This line that hits me is when he asks if he did something wrong. Like, I don't even think it has to be your father or even a family member; I'm pretty sure everyone has had someone leave them and wonders if it's their fault, if they did something wrong.
This song perfectly describes what it's like not having your dad in your life... You never really understand, and sometimes, even though everyone tells you it's not, you feel like it's your fault. You feel like you did something... Or like he doesn't want you... I've always had a father figure in my life. My stepdad is my father, not just a "stepdad" and he's raised me, and taken care of me, and I love him so much. But it's still hard. It hurts to wake up every morning, and see that the man who gave you life, the man who claims to be your dad, isn't there... It hurts to know that he's not going to come see you, unless you just so happen to be there when he needs something from his mom, or you spend hours, or days, sometimes even weeks, begging him to come see you. And sometimes, he gets your hopes up, and doesn't show... It hurts to know that the man who is supposed to be your father, the man who everyone else has, doesn't care to be in your life... And there's nothing you can do about it... It just hurts... And this song helps me through that pain... Because somebody understands, and somebody knows what you're going through... It not only perfectly describes the pain, but also helps ease the pain...
13 years ago I was playing this song on repeat before bed all the time, 13 years later it’s on repeat again. That line “spent 7 years wishing that you’d drop a line” hits even harder when you spent 14 years wishing he’d drop an apology and now you can’t even wish that anymore because all that’s left of him now is an hourglass necklace with his ashes in it that hangs from the rearview mirror in my car.
I know what it feels to want your father but mine is hurting me and my sis. the people who dislike the vid probably related to the song to much it hurt them so they didn't like it. I like it tho. my father was awful to me and my sis so I wanted a father that was truly there for me and sis, and say love to me and my sis everyday or say it and mean it.
I would listen to this song so much in middle school. It’s been 15 years since my dad left us and I still come back to this song. They don’t realize you carry that pain your whole life
When I was younger, my mom and dad used to fight so much that it traumatized me and my brother. I did my best to keep him away from it but sometimes it wasn't enough. I did everything in my power to try to get my parents to stop. Most of the time it ended with my father leaving and coming back later to apologize but nothing changed. It's been the same ever since.
My dad got up and left back in 2006 and i was so mad at him for leaving and not saying goodbye he cared more about women and alcohol then he own kids and after a lot of therapy I’ve come to terms with it and this song definitely helped me through it
When i first heard a rock song it was from sleeping with sirens. So i listened to more of their music. Now i listen to all of their songs and set it off. This song is my favorite tho bc it is so relatable to me and alot of others whos dad left their mom for a another woman. I feel as tho he left bc of me. I live with guilt and hatred bc of my dad. If u are reading this and relate u are not alone. Thank you for taking ur time in reading this
Me and my Dad have a really bad relationship, to the point he doesn't even want to see me, and it really sucks because there's those moments in life that something happens and its more of a Dad thing, but you can't talk to him about it because he's not there. I'm constantly being bullied and that's one of those things that would be a better option to talk to Dad, but he's gone, so all the emotion just keeps building up. So I can relate to this A LOT knowing my Dad has problems with drugs and alcohol.
I can feel Kellins pain. My dad left my mom a cuple months ago for another girl. He did it before but winded up coming back. My family does not seem whole to me. This time ik he is not coming back. I dont even live with my mom no more now i live with my grandparents....
I’m sorry to everyone who can relate just remember you are loved and beautiful/Handsome no matter what. It helps to talk to people no matter how hard it is. Hope it gets better.
Today I listened to this for the first time in a while and realized I no longer miss my Dad He hurt me more than he ever loved me It was hell HAVING him there And I've never healed more than I did without him I may have been the to go no contact But he chose to walk out of my life when he told me he didn't need "someone like me wasting his time" That was the last thing he said to me. And while not even close to the worst thing he's said or done to me, he made his feelings clear I was wasting my time. I was wasting all my effort and hard work And I wasn't going to waste it anymore. So Dad I know there's NO WAY you'll see this But this is for me I don't miss you. And I will never waste MY time, MY energy, MY thoughts or MY heart on you again.
I can Relate to this song. My mom left me and my baby baby sister alone to raise ourselves while she went out and got herself thrown into jail. when ever we were with her she would beat us with whatever she could find. I'm 13 years old now and its been 8 years since I've seen her. So many of you will understand what its like and it hurts like hell. Every time some ask me if I wanna see her I'm not sure if should say yes or no, so I shrug my shoulders. I've been 4 months clean this year and I'm working hard.
I sent this song to my dad and he didn't even care cuz he left my mom and they were together for 14 years and he left me and my five other siblings.....thnx dad
It would hurt me too much to even think about sending this to my father. He is an alcoholic and never gives me the light of day. We used to do so much together😓now he would rather sit in his room with a needle in his arm😭
I'm crying cuz this song is soon gonna be relatable my dad and mom r getting divorced and i won't be able to see my dad ever again once they divorce...
My dad left me when I was born. He doesn't want me he only wants his other 6 kids and girlfriend. This song is really relatable for me. Like, I don't heave a mom either. So, every time someone at school talks about their parents in a mean way I just want to tell them to shut the fuck up and just appreciate the things they have.
This hits close to home. My dad and I got separated when I was really young and I was eager to meet him again and now that I'm 16 and have met him I understand why people didn't really like him. It's sad cause I really looked forward to a good relationship with my dad yet we're stuck in our rooms all day and we barely talk and he has a short temper. But it is what it is I guess. Someone told me once that the grass isn't always greener on the other side and that is true.
This song hits me so hard. My mom and dad who adopted me divorced when I was around 5 or 6. When I was 8 my dad stopped picking me up but he would get my brothers who he fathered. I tried so hard growing up to do this that he had interest in to get him to talk to me. In highschool he had to ask me how to spell my name. Now he only talks to one of my brothers because they're both alcoholics. This song always brings up so much anger and pain, how I could never understand what I did for him to not want me.
When he said "is this what you call a family" it reminds me of all the times I watched my dad beat my mom and being only 3-4 years old I couldn't do anything. I'm glad that it's all over. This song hits hard
Though my parents are on good terms and I live with my dad, I will never forget the fact that he left without a word when I was 3. I love him to death but it's tearing me apart. I have to face verbal and emotional abuse from his girlfriend and with the feelings that he didn't want me. He cares but often acts like he doesn't. I have great memories of him and me from when I was very little, before she came in. Gtg cry myself to sleep now.
I heavily relate to this on a personal level, my own father never physically left me or my family but.. He was never there for me whenever I needed him. He’s been in my entire life yet was never there emotionally. He stopped giving me much attention and such. This song has always brought me into tears.
My parents didn't walk out on me or anything but I relate to this because they're hardly ever home and when they are they mostly just fight, either way I have to take care of my three little sisters. And I only had one friend I could talk to and I thought he cared but he just stopped talking to me and I miss him so much. I haven't got half the problems most people in the comments do but I dunno I just needed to get this out.
In all the 16 years I exist I have seen my dad 3 times ... He never said a goodbye or never told me he loved me ... I'm so thankful my mom tried to be there for me and did her best ... My dad never tried ... Sometimes I would love to know if he ever cared cuz now he has a family with a new wife and 3 children... Kinda surprised me that he had 3 children cuz he couldn't take care of his 2 first ones ... Then why for them and not for us :( ... I honestly fking hate him ...
My dad ran off when he found out my mom was pregnant. Downed the bottle and engorged himself with whores. Never knew him but I know him so well. This kills me.
It’s bad when you haven’t seen your father your whole life and you don’t know him but I think it’s worse that you see him once every three years and you can tell that he doesn’t care it hurts when your dad does that I should know
Hey, I know you posted this two years ago, but this is basically the arrangement my ex and I have come up with for our two year old. He facetime’s him once a month & hasn't physically seen him in a little over a year. As someone who went through this as the child in the mix, do you have any advice you wish your mother would've had or known to make it easier on you? Like I want to be prepared, so my son doesn't have too much heartbreak when he realizes his dad is a terrible person.
i see this as my brother instead of my dad because he was the one who always left and got into shit, he’ll never understand how much he tore up little me and how he’s tearing me up now
a year after my dad left my sister was really depressed and would listen to pierce the veil 24/7. I would listen to them with her as well. music is what made me and my sister have a better bond. it made us feel safe and happy. now I'm 14 and she's 19 and we come back every once in a while to listen to music we would listen to.
i hope everyone knows this song is about someones dad who walked out there life. hints the line ur bottles and mistress. not about losing ur dad. if he passed away it wasnt his choice so this song should not be dedicated to him but if he has walked out your life then this is the song....... not offense to no one i just felt like some who commented didnt get the gist
Mua Angel yes that specifically but also anyone who somehow lost a father or had an abusive father can relate. My father didn't leave but abused me and has now kicked me out of his life. I love this song and it speaks to me even thigh my situation isn't the sane.
Mua Angel ive read the comments and no one has said that they dedicated to their fathers who passed away. Theyve said they really miss their fathers. So before you say something this stupid think and reread the comment
Ashen Rose i think what you’ve experienced could also be classified as a dad that left. any dad emotionally or physically absent (not including death) would be classified as a dad that has left. this song is about shitty dads, not dead ones (unless along with being dead they were also abusive).
Wow, this is hitting the feelings. It’s actually similar to the situation I’m going through with my mom. She verbally abuses me by not letting me be myself and by invalidating my feelings and emotions. And then she claims that being alone is bad for me and that I should spend more time with her... I have no choice but to be alone a lot of the time because it’s best for my mental health, being away from my mom and all that. When I’m alone, I feel more free. Like, she’s physically there for me just for my basic physical needs, but not any emotional support at all, which is what I really need. She’s toxic. To her, my looks, my grades, and other people’s thoughts of me are the most important things. Providing just for physical needs and/or forcing a child how to look or act just so they’ll like it is not loving that child. Apparently, I’m not enough for her at all. She’s the one who’s destroying my happiness and mental health. So thank you, SWS, for giving me this song to cope.🖤
Reminds me too much of my so called alcoholic and drug using father who has 5 or more kids with other women while he was married to my mom... now hes in prison where he belongs (he had 6 kids with my mom and gave up his custody of all of us just like my mom.)
I love with both my parents still but yet my dad is rarely home and whenever he is at home he is either asleep or drinking and other times he is just pissed off at me. ik I fucked up so bad but yet I really don't think he cares for us just cause he always gets pissed off at us and he is almost never at home
My dad has barely been involved in my life and this song always makes me think of our relationship... I love it. It makes me feel stronger but weaker at the same time 💔

I love that part. It is very relatable for me.
Here, take some ice cream, you need it more then I do

and in less than a minute in all my daddy issues are back
Samezz...
They dont go away... they lie dormant until we deal with them.
Same. It never really went away because I could still see him around some other days reminding me of what he did.
badass song, too relatable..
Agreed.
Cristian Mayancela why don't u stfu cuz they were just stating how they feel. They have every right to listen to it.
Cristina Mayancela, he does like the song. The word "Badass" just means "cool" or "awesome". He isn't being mean, at all. And thanks Trinity milot.
But please guys, no need to argue. This is an awesome song, we should just enjoy it!! :)
Raquel Almeida your welcome.

actually he wrote this song ve from the perspective of his step kids
amen
No idea why this song popped in my head, used to cry my eyes out to this song after my dad left my disabled mom &I. Today I'm 20, just bought my own car after the one he gave me almost killed me on several occasions. It's tough but I managed somehow &If anyone else is crying over a father that's missing out fuck him! One day you'll be stronger than he ever was,
you deserve so much
to those Fathers out there think about the burden youre CHILDREN HAVE TO DEAL WITH,THE PAIN AND AGONY,OF THEY'RE FATHER LEAVING!
Thank you. not many people understand how bad the pain hits us.
rynindo way my dad ran away then came back. Then we ran away.EDIT: my dad is also abusive so that's why we ran away

Emilee L. Thank you nor many ppl understand what it's like to have a dad who doesn't care.
same goes with mothers :(

I love my dad he is the only one I think that truly loves me. He is my hero I always wanted to be half the man he is
Randomly popped into my head and I had to listen.
This song is so relatable. Except instead of my dad, it's my whole family.
Uno And Cheeto Dawson same
Same though
You’re so pretty 🤧
9 years today I miss you dad!!!!😭

Ify i had the same happen to me
My mom has been gone for 7 years and this song means so much to me. I am now 11 almost 12 and still remember it like it happen yesterday. This song it too relatable.😢
omg just listened to brother by falling in reverse and now this song and the tears wont stop ;-;
i have no sibilings or father (he died before i was born) so i can't relate
This is for my piece of nothing father who didn't do a damn thing but make my life miserable. He was never around and when he was the only thing he did was drink and beat my mom. But he did me a favor. he made me realise that I am so much better than that. Because of him I fight harder and get a little stronger everyday. He'll never get to see me (his oldest daughter) ever again!
Aj Jacobson I feel the same thing,every time I think of him I just think just bc im his son I dont have too act like him bc I'm better than him bc I'm no coward.

It hurts to know that he's not going to come see you, unless you just so happen to be there when he needs something from his mom, or you spend hours, or days, sometimes even weeks, begging him to come see you. And sometimes, he gets your hopes up, and doesn't show... It hurts to know that the man who is supposed to be your father, the man who everyone else has, doesn't care to be in your life... And there's nothing you can do about it... It just hurts... And this song helps me through that pain... Because somebody understands, and somebody knows what you're going through... It not only perfectly describes the pain, but also helps ease the pain...
13 years ago I was playing this song on repeat before bed all the time, 13 years later it’s on repeat again. That line “spent 7 years wishing that you’d drop a line” hits even harder when you spent 14 years wishing he’d drop an apology and now you can’t even wish that anymore because all that’s left of him now is an hourglass necklace with his ashes in it that hangs from the rearview mirror in my car.
Almost 8 years. Why couldn't you stop? Why didn't you try harder? Were we not enough for you? Am i not enough?
You are more than enough, I'm sorry for what you had to go through, you are the fucking best and it. Is . Not your fault, ok?
I feel the same
The lyrics are so true.
Too true.
Is this what happened to you Kellin? This song seems so much from the heart.
I can relate-
So relatable 😭 "is this what you call a family?"
I have related to this song so much, for so long, im so sorry to anyone else who has a dead beat "father"
I know what it feels to want your father but mine is hurting me and my sis. the people who dislike the vid probably related to the song to much it hurt them so they didn't like it. I like it tho. my father was awful to me and my sis so I wanted a father that was truly there for me and sis, and say love to me and my sis everyday or say it and mean it.
I'm about to cry this is so relatable
I would listen to this song so much in middle school. It’s been 15 years since my dad left us and I still come back to this song. They don’t realize you carry that pain your whole life
My favorite SWS song. I can relate to it.
To my dad who is always in a different state. It hurts, especially when you talk about my mom the way you do. At least she's here
Best lyric video of this song I've seen so far.
Oh, that means a lot! Thank you!!
When I was younger, my mom and dad used to fight so much that it traumatized me and my brother. I did my best to keep him away from it but sometimes it wasn't enough. I did everything in my power to try to get my parents to stop. Most of the time it ended with my father leaving and coming back later to apologize but nothing changed. It's been the same ever since.
My father never gave a shit. I always cry when i hear this song
My dad got up and left back in 2006 and i was so mad at him for leaving and not saying goodbye he cared more about women and alcohol then he own kids and after a lot of therapy I’ve come to terms with it and this song definitely helped me through it
14 years... I miss you dad💔
Alicia Gallegos I'm sorry :((
Alicia Gallegos I'm so sorry
Asher Anderson ❤❤ ... thank you
Asher Anderson you're really sweet, thank you. you do too!❤
Alicia Gallegos everything gets better but still hurts like hell 🙏🏻 for you sending both my 🙏🏻❤️
Ive been crying to this song since it came out.. not over my father, but my mother..😞
When i first heard a rock song it was from sleeping with sirens. So i listened to more of their music. Now i listen to all of their songs and set it off. This song is my favorite tho bc it is so relatable to me and alot of others whos dad left their mom for a another woman. I feel as tho he left bc of me. I live with guilt and hatred bc of my dad. If u are reading this and relate u are not alone. Thank you for taking ur time in reading this
This song is so Effien relatable. This is literally my relationship with dad.... But I still miss him!
Me and my Dad have a really bad relationship, to the point he doesn't even want to see me, and it really sucks because there's those moments in life that something happens and its more of a Dad thing, but you can't talk to him about it because he's not there. I'm constantly being bullied and that's one of those things that would be a better option to talk to Dad, but he's gone, so all the emotion just keeps building up. So I can relate to this A LOT knowing my Dad has problems with drugs and alcohol.
I can feel Kellins pain. My dad left my mom a cuple months ago for another girl. He did it before but winded up coming back. My family does not seem whole to me. This time ik he is not coming back. I dont even live with my mom no more now i live with my grandparents....
God this song makes me cry every time!!
I’m sorry to everyone who can relate just remember you are loved and beautiful/Handsome no matter what. It helps to talk to people no matter how hard it is. Hope it gets better.
its sad how much I relate to this song
This Song is so relatable... 💔
The video I usually listen to got deleted, but I'm kind of glad it did, because this sound isn't as crackly (is that a word?) as the other one :D
my dad left me a long time ago and i miss him so much i dont even know why
when I go to sleep at night, you're now there, yeah! when I go to sleep at night, to you care? YEAH!
( screaming all the lyrics wile crying)
Today I listened to this for the first time in a while and realized
I no longer miss my Dad
He hurt me more than he ever loved me
It was hell HAVING him there
And I've never healed more than I did without him
I may have been the to go no contact
But he chose to walk out of my life when he told me he didn't need "someone like me wasting his time"
That was the last thing he said to me.
And while not even close to the worst thing he's said or done to me, he made his feelings clear
I was wasting my time. I was wasting all my effort and hard work
And I wasn't going to waste it anymore.
So Dad
I know there's NO WAY you'll see this
But this is for me
I don't miss you. And I will never waste MY time, MY energy, MY thoughts or MY heart on you again.
I can Relate to this song. My mom left me and my baby baby sister alone to raise ourselves while she went out and got herself thrown into jail. when ever we were with her she would beat us with whatever she could find. I'm 13 years old now and its been 8 years since I've seen her. So many of you will understand what its like and it hurts like hell. Every time some ask me if I wanna see her I'm not sure if should say yes or no, so I shrug my shoulders. I've been 4 months clean this year and I'm working hard.
Apparently I needed to cry today.
this song is way too relatable for me and thats really sad
My father left my mom before I was born. It's been 13 years now. I never heard from him or seen him in my entire life
Almost the same exact thing here this song hits me in the feels
Me too
I sent this song to my dad and he didn't even care cuz he left my mom and they were together for 14 years and he left me and my five other siblings.....thnx dad
It would hurt me too much to even think about sending this to my father. He is an alcoholic and never gives me the light of day. We used to do so much together😓now he would rather sit in his room with a needle in his arm😭
how did he react?
I can realate to this song so much because I never really had a dad and I have daddy issues so it makes me wanna cry
I relate but it was my mom who decided to fuck up my life and now is trying to act like if never happened
I'm crying cuz this song is soon gonna be relatable my dad and mom r getting divorced and i won't be able to see my dad ever again once they divorce...
I relate to this 100%....except its my mother :"(
Same for me my mom walked out when I was very little last time i saw her was 3 years ago and all she does is lie
Same
my mother left me when a was a few months old
Its both for me
Miss you Dad😭😔 hope you didn't leave us. This is too relatable💔
Cool video!
I love this song
My dad left me when I was born. He doesn't want me he only wants his other 6 kids and girlfriend. This song is really relatable for me.
Like, I don't heave a mom either. So, every time someone at school talks about their parents in a mean way I just want to tell them to shut the fuck up and just appreciate the things they have.
i lost my family.. bcoz they done need me.. but i still have my dad.. he the one that still give me a hope n reason
This hits close to home. My dad and I got separated when I was really young and I was eager to meet him again and now that I'm 16 and have met him I understand why people didn't really like him. It's sad cause I really looked forward to a good relationship with my dad yet we're stuck in our rooms all day and we barely talk and he has a short temper. But it is what it is I guess. Someone told me once that the grass isn't always greener on the other side and that is true.
I teared up listening to this! Ahhhh Whyyyy? I now love this song
I relate to this song
same here dude
Suni Co who doesn't? If ur here u most likely relate to this song. Just read the comments
This song hits me so hard. My mom and dad who adopted me divorced when I was around 5 or 6. When I was 8 my dad stopped picking me up but he would get my brothers who he fathered. I tried so hard growing up to do this that he had interest in to get him to talk to me. In highschool he had to ask me how to spell my name. Now he only talks to one of my brothers because they're both alcoholics. This song always brings up so much anger and pain, how I could never understand what I did for him to not want me.
When he said "is this what you call a family" it reminds me of all the times I watched my dad beat my mom and being only 3-4 years old I couldn't do anything. I'm glad that it's all over. This song hits hard
Best song ever
this reminds me of my mother who left when i was 9-10 years old.
Though my parents are on good terms and I live with my dad, I will never forget the fact that he left without a word when I was 3. I love him to death but it's tearing me apart. I have to face verbal and emotional abuse from his girlfriend and with the feelings that he didn't want me. He cares but often acts like he doesn't. I have great memories of him and me from when I was very little, before she came in. Gtg cry myself to sleep now.
sad thing is, our parents only think about their happiness without them knowing we are dealing with the pain they made us feel.
I heavily relate to this on a personal level, my own father never physically left me or my family but.. He was never there for me whenever I needed him. He’s been in my entire life yet was never there emotionally. He stopped giving me much attention and such. This song has always brought me into tears.
My parents didn't walk out on me or anything but I relate to this because they're hardly ever home and when they are they mostly just fight, either way I have to take care of my three little sisters. And I only had one friend I could talk to and I thought he cared but he just stopped talking to me and I miss him so much. I haven't got half the problems most people in the comments do but I dunno I just needed to get this out.
Hey :) it's been 5 years. How are you doing now? Wanna talk about it?
In all the 16 years I exist I have seen my dad 3 times ... He never said a goodbye or never told me he loved me ... I'm so thankful my mom tried to be there for me and did her best ... My dad never tried ... Sometimes I would love to know if he ever cared cuz now he has a family with a new wife and 3 children... Kinda surprised me that he had 3 children cuz he couldn't take care of his 2 first ones ... Then why for them and not for us :( ... I honestly fking hate him ...
My dad left when I was 10 months old.... He's never here never has been never will be I blame myself all the time so this is relatable
Everytime 'is this what you call a family' is played, I cant hold back crying.
I remember listening to this song 2 years ago. I still love it
Aha...hello fellow kids with divorced parents.
MINE WERE NEVER MARRIED😂😂
Hey how's it hanging
@@AaronOlofssonfr 😂😂😂
My dad ran off when he found out my mom was pregnant. Downed the bottle and engorged himself with whores. Never knew him but I know him so well. This kills me.
this is for my father who left for beer and a new family and step father who physically, and verbally abused me till he left too.
What sucks Is I can relate to this song and it hurts 😢 so for anyone out there who can relate your not alone 😊
It’s bad when you haven’t seen your father your whole life and you don’t know him but I think it’s worse that you see him once every three years and you can tell that he doesn’t care it hurts when your dad does that I should know
Hey, I know you posted this two years ago, but this is basically the arrangement my ex and I have come up with for our two year old. He facetime’s him once a month & hasn't physically seen him in a little over a year. As someone who went through this as the child in the mix, do you have any advice you wish your mother would've had or known to make it easier on you? Like I want to be prepared, so my son doesn't have too much heartbreak when he realizes his dad is a terrible person.
I can realate to this sooooo much😟😢
it has literally only been a day
i love you dad
goodbye forever, then
i see this as my brother instead of my dad because he was the one who always left and got into shit, he’ll never understand how much he tore up little me and how he’s tearing me up now
a year after my dad left my sister was really depressed and would listen to pierce the veil 24/7. I would listen to them with her as well. music is what made me and my sister have a better bond. it made us feel safe and happy. now I'm 14 and she's 19 and we come back every once in a while to listen to music we would listen to.
i hope everyone knows this song is about someones dad who walked out there life. hints the line ur bottles and mistress. not about losing ur dad. if he passed away it wasnt his choice so this song should not be dedicated to him but if he has walked out your life then this is the song....... not offense to no one i just felt like some who commented didnt get the gist
Mua Angel yes that specifically but also anyone who somehow lost a father or had an abusive father can relate. My father didn't leave but abused me and has now kicked me out of his life. I love this song and it speaks to me even thigh my situation isn't the sane.
Mua Angel ive read the comments and no one has said that they dedicated to their fathers who passed away. Theyve said they really miss their fathers. So before you say something this stupid think and reread the comment
James Robertson there actually have been a few kids dedicating this song to their dead dad
Ashen Rose i think what you’ve experienced could also be classified as a dad that left. any dad emotionally or physically absent (not including death) would be classified as a dad that has left. this song is about shitty dads, not dead ones (unless along with being dead they were also abusive).
This song is so relatable
Too relatable
I dedicate this to you dad,even though we've never met and you have no idea that I'm even alive. This song is for you.
i loved it
Wow, this is hitting the feelings. It’s actually similar to the situation I’m going through with my mom. She verbally abuses me by not letting me be myself and by invalidating my feelings and emotions. And then she claims that being alone is bad for me and that I should spend more time with her... I have no choice but to be alone a lot of the time because it’s best for my mental health, being away from my mom and all that. When I’m alone, I feel more free. Like, she’s physically there for me just for my basic physical needs, but not any emotional support at all, which is what I really need. She’s toxic. To her, my looks, my grades, and other people’s thoughts of me are the most important things. Providing just for physical needs and/or forcing a child how to look or act just so they’ll like it is not loving that child. Apparently, I’m not enough for her at all. She’s the one who’s destroying my happiness and mental health. So thank you, SWS, for giving me this song to cope.🖤
When this song is on i think about my mom😭I love my dad he always been here for me🖤🖤
How do i send this to my dad without sending it to my dad?
Everyone take a shot for every time someone comments how relatable this song is. B prepared 2 b wasted.
Reminds me too much of my so called alcoholic and drug using father who has 5 or more kids with other women while he was married to my mom... now hes in prison where he belongs (he had 6 kids with my mom and gave up his custody of all of us just like my mom.)
this is so Relatable
I love with both my parents still but yet my dad is rarely home and whenever he is at home he is either asleep or drinking and other times he is just pissed off at me. ik I fucked up so bad but yet I really don't think he cares for us just cause he always gets pissed off at us and he is almost never at home
Who’s back from the tok 😭 right in the daddy issues
step-dad issues here
I relate to this song so much
My dad has barely been involved in my life and this song always makes me think of our relationship... I love it. It makes me feel stronger but weaker at the same time 💔
