It's unbelievable how many people could have had much better lives, if only someone loved them and raised them with nothing but love and understanding.
David Rodriguez this comment hit me hard...because when I met my girlfriend she grew up touched on and she didn’t care about herself. She said after I came into her life I made everything better and she’s starting to respect herself now. I’m a proud young man who saved a life ❤️
Tommy Davis this shows 2 outcomes of the choices: on one hand the girl could have become a prostitute, then on the other hand she could have become a productive member of society. So this video shows 2 outcomes of how you live your life
IF I CAN ONLY MAKE HIM LISTEN,this song is indeed a lesson I try all kinds off way to ask him to bring this back to the charts YESSS even in 2021 it’s a VALUE LESSON #❤️ 🌎✊❤️🖤🇳🇱!!!!
@@geloo.7686 but have to look who's rasing them. Who's teaching them. Are they around loving people. You can't say people are bad with looking at the things around them
It's December, 2024. Who's still vibing to this song? As younger people, we just loved the melody. As adults now, we love everything about the song (the message, rhythm and melody). Wishing a joyful life to everyone listening to this song and I hope that we find the love we seek for and learn how to love others.
This song made me change my lifestyle, friends and boyfriend.. It made me see that even if I grew up in a broken family and made bad decisions.. That ain't going to define me
YOU change for the better of YOU but i hear you. Songs can mean soooo much from when you first heard them 10 years later maybe your life is good or maybe not so good but change starts with YOU
This song is so profound. The video tells such a real story. So many young women walking around with PTSD and unresolved trauma from molestation and abuse from people that should've protected them. Heartbreaking.
i was a victim of this and i wish people would include men as well im a girl but still my brother went though this but it never got any attention but i got lots
The saddest thing about this entire video is that, we are actually watching someone's else life right now. This should bring awareness to many of us; especially with the choices we make in life. This is truly sad but has a powerful message.
We have to start by lifting our youth up as a country and loving them together so that they will know how to love themselves. Without love for yourself you cannot give love completely and in a way that someone else deserves and wont know what kind of love they also deserve from another. So we dont have to live through another time that our children are ever going to have to feel hatred of other's for no valid reason claiming rhetoric like race or secual orientation. We have to stop this division and hatred weve allowed ONE hateful narcissist to poison our ppl and far too many of our youth.. lets get love back in our lives an pour it into our future and get our happiness BACK!!we r running out of time .. our kids r losing their future
This still makes me cry! I’m a former escort and this always brings me to tears. From 17-24 I was a solid ass escort, i have a job interview at a tech company on Monday, pray for me!
I listened to this as a kid because it sounded cool. But coming back to it now, it got me emotional to see just how much meaning the words have, and the video adds on the the effect. This is a really good song
Me and my girlfriend would listen to this. she passed away and everytime i hear this song i start balling. we played it at her funeral it was beautiful. I Love you Adriana.
Wow you’ve just brought tears to my eyes…idk if has anything to do with my girl passing away 4 months ago from OD, but anyways thank you for sharing 💙🙏🏽🦋
I always knew this song was about a woman who never had a chance to learn what real love is, but at the age of 22, I can now understand that it even extends to her not knowing how to love herself. And the singer isn't just a man enamored by her, it's a man who's speaking a pure and well-intentioned truth. He's encouraging her to overcome her insecurities, to not blame herself for her trauma. And that's beautiful. The music video tells a story of just how important it is for parents to love themselves and teach their children how to love. Always remember that you deserve the best of what life has to offer. You deserve good things. You deserve to be happy.
The message behind this video couldn't be any more true. Your mother is your first example of how you should live your life. Always do your best as a mother and give your child the best head start
Some persons are at a disadvantage from birth. They have to run a race meters behind and when they do reach the finish line out of breath the crowd said they are too lucky...
Lil Wayne goes in soo hard on this right here! Only reason they aint getting more hits is cuz Lil Wayne aint just watchign that short *on my channel* explaining how all these rappers out here be blowing up so big
Deep message in this video. The ability to love only truly develops when we learn to love ourselves first. Only then can we decide with whom we share intimacy and then it is to give , not to get.
Nice to meet you 🌹,I have been observing some comments lately and I find you very interesting and also clever😏😏 , looking so charming and beautiful😍😍, I will be the happiest man on Earth if only I can become friends with you 💝 I will be glad enough if only you can appreciate my special time 😊,I use in writing such text to you please do me a favor by sending me a friend request 🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹
This song doesn't get the recognition it truly deserves. Replaying and listening to it over and over again. I understand the lyrics now.. Simply a girl who grew up too fast and generation after generation, the cycle never changes unless YOU do. We as women are stronger than we think.
After having a mental breakdown, you empathize with the girl more and more in this video. This song soothes you, reminds you. Be gentle on yourself because you deserve love too.
This song just teaches me that everyone has a story..the stripper,the robber,the drug dealer etc..people are just trying to survive..May God help us all,let's not judge others.
The fact the Lil Wayne managed to create such a memorable song that greatly contrasts what he typically sings about shows that he does has tremendous talent!
May 2020 like. This line hits hard. "When you had alot of dreams that transform to visions,the fact that you saw the world affected all your decisions but it..wasnt your fault,wasnt in your intentions..."
@@raegavin5948 As child not knowing your worth, or feeling worthless, will impact you even more once your older, due to the fact that the consequences for the decisions you make as an adult are 10x more impactful than they are of a child. Simply put if you think your worthless as a child, those feelings will only intensify as an adult.
I never thought that I would CRY after watching a Lil Wayne video, but that was beautiful! He depicted real life and showed how deciding to love can change pain into positivity! Great performance by Lil Wayne and great video Shazam!
+Marlen Rodgers Yeah! He didn't freestyle shit. Detail wrote the song, Lil Wayne just got luck of the draw to sing it. Dumbass. I not once hated on him, I just stated a fact. Maybe if you passed the 3rd grade English, you'd have better reading comprehension.
Marlen Rodgers You don't need to use a semicolon or colon unless you're directing the reader's attention to something which is important. If I'm making a simple connection between two independent clauses, you use a comma. Had this not been important, you wouldn't have mentioned it at all if what I said about your reading comprehension meant nothing. You brought it up out of a psychological need to defend yourself. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, nobody wants to lose face in front of others or to have their reputation damaged regardless of whether company is present at the situation. Ergo, it obviously was important because I made an attack on your intelligence, which lead to a logos appeal by mentioning your ACT score, something anyone secure in their intelligence would never mention. And then returned the attack from a spiteful yet reserved tone which was palpable in your response. Again, simple psychological defense. Detail is a record producer, a writer, and an artist. If I recall, he has done a few songs.
Only song Wayne didn't even use a single swear word that's how deep this song is I just am proud of Wayne for making such a master piece !!!! Your music is my centre of strength Wayne thank u for spreading these words to us
This is my story almost to a TEE. Except, I had one child at the time and never had an STD. However, Rape, baby to early to feel love, Dead beat BD,stripper, prostitute, insecurities, Seen abuse in my home as a little girl. I will always love LIL WAYNE for this GEM......I couldn't rewind, but I'm farther than where I was. I've started my own business, have a man who adores me and I'm in therapy with so much more confidence and self esteem.
I dont think it was underrated! People didnt really want to acknowledge lil wayne made such a masterpeice! Thats messed up! This was everything and i still love it from the carter 4
They still have, only fewer and not in the same way. A rapper today ex: 21 savage raps about his past, selling drugs, shooting at people and the trauma that came with it. If only you try to understand the rapper you will see thats deep too. (Except for lil pump)
Even after a decade this song still makes me cry everytime I hear it. If this song is a legend I wana be cremated in this comment section along with it. It explains two sides of the story and I ended up in the latter one. And I am proud. But I still remember what my past is. And it keeps me humble, every girl has a chance to choose a side. And God helped me choose the right side. Long live Wayne for making the realest song out there. No song can beat it. Name a better song I am waiting since 10 years...
Amara Harris he don’t have shallow songs......he’s a wise man.....being “simple” is a high form of creativity when use well.....extremely clever most of the time
Amara Harris he don’t have shallow songs......he’s a wise man.....being “simple” is a high form of creativity when use well.....extremely clever most of the time
This is one of the most meaningful, beautiful songs I know about being a woman and a mother. Thank you Lil Wayne. You have the soul of a poet and artist first and foremost. You see deeply.
Absolutely!!! When ever I listen to this song, it makes me think about my older sister, she passed away 2yrs ago. We didn't know that she was in an abusive relationship, she always had an excuse about bruises. She eventually married her abuser, he stripped her of everything, even her soul. She was only a shell of herself. She was a beautiful woman inside and out. But what I want to say is some women think they can walk away or relocate, etc. But my sister had already died spiritually and eventually we lost her. Women please understand that not everyone will walk away with life, she became free the day she died
Calebmufcthompson while you probably think Nikki is the same. These rappers are later more out there these days cause they trying to compete with other new trendy rappers.
How can we be grown enough to know better than to be thinking the way we be thinking? If we were we'd be grown enough to know better than to be doing what we be doing! Just speaking!
This let's us know that there is always a better version of ourselves that we should strive to achieve! This also tells us that the actions of parents greatly affects their children's future.
***** Please refrain from your blatant persuasion to listen to other music. People can like whatever kind of music they want or whatever song they want and no one's opinion matters. This is a fantastic song and just because you fail to see that doesn't mean it is bad. Maybe he doesn't like Led Zeppelin. I know I don't because it's not what I like to listen to. And one more thing, please learn how to spell and use grammar properly before replying to someone in this manner, it kind of makes it hard to take you seriously...
This song hits differently. I use to cry because the girl found out she had HIV, BUT after growing up and seeing what she went through it all starts with yo example, and then you have the choice for the people your around, and what you see and listen to. Surround yourself with positivity and that’s what you will get. The daughter had to learn from her moms mistakes not to just get with a guy cuz he’s convenient if he’s making you unhappy, or to not just be a baby mama, and to follow your dreams. Once you be good to yourself and be a friend to yourself everything else will fall in place. I mean that so whoever reading this going through something just be who you would need in a friend to yourself, and everything will fall into place. Be good to yourself, make good decisions, have goals and ambitions and you’ll be least likely to learn anything the hard way. Be good to yourself first my friends, love yourself and be the partner, the parent, the friend you need to yourself and watch things improve in your interpersonal life. I’m going through the same journey now, self love and this song just hits in a perfect way. Thank you little Wayne you’ll never see this but thank you for having making this song so it could be something I need right now.
Thank you so much for ur kind words of encouragement. I hope we both find what we are looking for in this life...may God bless u always. Take care & much L 💙VE
He knows that most of his songs promotes drugs, sex, money, crime, etc. And I suppose that's how he made millions. But for sure, there were a side of him that felt sympathy for the women he got with, understood their situation and spoke about in the form of a song to warn other young ladies about going down this road. I'm glad he put this song out. :)
Family first and we need to do the best for our children... I finally got the message today when I need it the most in my life...thanks Wayne... I'll keep it together for the future of my girls and son 🥲🥲🥲
Society may think lil wayne doesn't know anything about "love" but he has a daughter & three sons. i'm pretty sure that he knows what love is they are his defenition of love. Yeah he may sing about drugs & money & hoes but it doesn't mean he doesn't know the struggle in society. & this video is just plain beautiful because stuff like that does affect your love life & your own life. So to anybody saying all those negative comments clearly is the dumb one 💯
I'm a fan of his and don't mean any hate by this but I think it's sad that all the kids have different moms. I don't doubt the love he has for his kids, but from the looks of it he doesn't know how to love and be in love with a women.
Madison but you don't know the reason why they don't have the same mother and he loves his children very much and you don't know why they don't date anymore and stop hating
Yes, we do need to learn how to love. Some people don't realize that either because they've always had it, or they've never had it. You really do need to be taught how to love and it's nothing to shame others about.
I Really do not understand why he is not listening this song is old but the message the same and so POWERFUL indeed Teach people how to love,and their future will be bright #❤️ 🌎✊❤️🖤🇳🇱!!!
This song is so depressing and therapeutic at the same time. Cause once you go thru so many heartbreaks and toxic relationships it truly becomes hard to love and trust a new partner in your life especially if they are too "too good to be true", and we end up forgetting that we deserve that kinda love.

Is my special one that knows it...Still love an think about you a lot cara Kay kielman
This one hits deep right here man
The fact the Lil Wayne managed to create such a memorable song that greatly contrasts what he typically sings about shows that he does has tremendous talent!
May 2020 like.
This line hits hard.
"When you had alot of dreams that transform to visions,the fact that you saw the world affected all your decisions but it..wasnt your fault,wasnt in your intentions..."
those lines grabbed me just as I read this. TYTYTY take care
This part played as I read this haha
💯
yep
Hits HARD
And I am here again Nov 2024
“Ya never credit yourself, so when you got older. It seems like it came back ten times over.” That’s still deep..
iunnor im slow lol, could you explain me what that means?
iunnor please explain. I don’t get it.
@@raegavin5948 As child not knowing your worth, or feeling worthless, will impact you even more once your older, due to the fact that the consequences for the decisions you make as an adult are 10x more impactful than they are of a child. Simply put if you think your worthless as a child, those feelings will only intensify as an adult.
GP Free this makes more sense
@@biglan16 it really can, yeah it really can
This song is a masterpiece. Wayne’s vulnerability and intentionality in crafting these lyrics will forever be an inspiration to me❤
He'll yeah what it means to u is the only meaning that matters
I never figured out how to love my son taught me, I love you son I would say your name but this the internet.❤ 😂🎉 💕

This song has been blanked outta my mind for years until now

The video is deep asf. Tuff.

Khalil Aziz me to bro I’m about to cry because it reminds me of the old days
Not me! I remember this song every year!
I never thought that I would CRY after watching a Lil Wayne video, but that was beautiful! He depicted real life and showed how deciding to love can change pain into positivity! Great performance by Lil Wayne and great video Shazam!
So D&M
so true lil wayne is absolutely amazing and this song is perfect. sub for sub? Isaiah
Even though he didn't write it.
+Marlen Rodgers
Yeah! He didn't freestyle shit. Detail wrote the song, Lil Wayne just got luck of the draw to sing it. Dumbass.
I not once hated on him, I just stated a fact. Maybe if you passed the 3rd grade English, you'd have better reading comprehension.
Marlen Rodgers You don't need to use a semicolon or colon unless you're directing the reader's attention to something which is important. If I'm making a simple connection between two independent clauses, you use a comma. Had this not been important, you wouldn't have mentioned it at all if what I said about your reading comprehension meant nothing. You brought it up out of a psychological need to defend yourself. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, nobody wants to lose face in front of others or to have their reputation damaged regardless of whether company is present at the situation. Ergo, it obviously was important because I made an attack on your intelligence, which lead to a logos appeal by mentioning your ACT score, something anyone secure in their intelligence would never mention. And then returned the attack from a spiteful yet reserved tone which was palpable in your response. Again, simple psychological defense.
Detail is a record producer, a writer, and an artist. If I recall, he has done a few songs.
Only song Wayne didn't even use a single swear word that's how deep this song is I just am proud of Wayne for making such a master piece !!!! Your music is my centre of strength Wayne thank u for spreading these words to us
Wayne didn't curse in his old shit from the 90s either
Lil wayne got hundreds of curse free songs
yea right like he wrote this...
@@ElCapi1906 he co wrote it, with his other artist " detail ". Wayne saaid it was about his daughter
@@Beezy_420 "co wrote it"
It doesn’t matter what year your in this song still lit 🔥
Right im wathcing this in 2019 and its relatible and sad very sadd

SO TRUE!!!!!!!!!!
Facts!!!

This is my story almost to a TEE. Except, I had one child at the time and never had an STD. However, Rape, baby to early to feel love, Dead beat BD,stripper, prostitute, insecurities, Seen abuse in my home as a little girl. I will always love LIL WAYNE for this GEM......I couldn't rewind, but I'm farther than where I was. I've started my own business, have a man who adores me and I'm in therapy with so much more confidence and self esteem.
🙏🏼❤️
Good for you Samantha!
You will be ok stay down until you are up and when your up work hard to stay there. Love
such an inspiration!
U just want attention
One of the most underrated and most overlooked song and music video . This goes so deep man , still here in 2019💪🏾❤️❤️
True...an amazing song!!!
The Zakia Show will never get old to me
Very True, and me times a milli!! Okayyyyy, this when Wayne was Wayne....not like the way he's been as of lately,still my boy tho...
I dont think it was underrated! People didnt really want to acknowledge lil wayne made such a masterpeice! Thats messed up! This was everything and i still love it from the carter 4

Oh God. Rap Actually Had Stories To Them At This Time. One Of My All Time Favorites
Yvng Dre' story telling back then was one of the most important part of rap thats what made eminem kendrick tupac and more famous
Alot of wayne songs turn into great messages and videos
I miss it
Gucci gang has a story to it 😡
They still have, only fewer and not in the same way. A rapper today ex: 21 savage raps about his past, selling drugs, shooting at people and the trauma that came with it. If only you try to understand the rapper you will see thats deep too. (Except for lil pump)
Song hits different when you been through some shit....
Yeah man felt that
#truth
For fuckin sure
@@themachanel8128 hella ya love u

Easily one of Wayne's best songs he ever dropped.
oldheads can hate all they want but this is the shit

Even after a decade this song still makes me cry everytime I hear it. If this song is a legend I wana be cremated in this comment section along with it. It explains two sides of the story and I ended up in the latter one. And I am proud. But I still remember what my past is. And it keeps me humble, every girl has a chance to choose a side. And God helped me choose the right side. Long live Wayne for making the realest song out there. No song can beat it. Name a better song I am waiting since 10 years...
❤️
He didn’t die

@@kivgnyzdatlifestyle4000 if it takes Michael Jackson to even think of a song.. I think Wayne is in good company

The kids nowadays would never know how Lil Wayne was the real goat😪

Bro I was 10 when I stated to listen to him
Bruh lil wayne aint a goat but he makes some great songs like this
nobody can't ever tell me Lil' Wayne isn't deep. He has a lot of 'shallow' songs but this is deep and can be interpreted in so many ways.
True
Mirror ft Bruno Mars is deep as well👌
Amara Harris he don’t have shallow songs......he’s a wise man.....being “simple” is a high form of creativity when use well.....extremely clever most of the time

True the song is speaking to you from within .
This is one of the most meaningful, beautiful songs I know about being a woman and a mother. Thank you Lil Wayne. You have the soul of a poet and artist first and foremost. You see deeply.
You should here his other stuff ...my personal favorite: Hoes ft. Manny Fresh
Too right!!!
Agree!
Absolutely!!! When ever I listen to this song, it makes me think about my older sister, she passed away 2yrs ago. We didn't know that she was in an abusive relationship, she always had an excuse about bruises. She eventually married her abuser, he stripped her of everything, even her soul. She was only a shell of herself. She was a beautiful woman inside and out. But what I want to say is some women think they can walk away or relocate, etc. But my sister had already died spiritually and eventually we lost her. Women please understand that not everyone will walk away with life, she became free the day she died
@@tracywishom9999 So sorry for your loss. Yes this song really speaks to this. Best wishes for you and your family.
hits different seeing this now as a mom😭
This is honestly one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard, and it was by Lil Wayne of all people...
For clarity, I have nothing against him, it’s just not the type of song you’d ever expect Lil Wayne to make 🤷♂️
He's no stranger to making you think tho
Calebmufcthompson while you probably think Nikki is the same. These rappers are later more out there these days cause they trying to compete with other new trendy rappers.
Lil Wayne is intelligent
Yes this is reality song
Lil Wayne is singing about some serious shit here the is just like what happens in the real world ...I had tears running down my face bro
og !!! me too bruh
Watch the video while listening to it
Me too
Salute to you brutha!!
I miss Lil Wayne
This song brings me to tears every time I hear it. Never thought a lil Wayne song could have that effect on me
Me too 🥹
Same here 👍
Currently
You must don't listen to alot of Wayne he got a boatload of emotional songs!
Same here
One of the first love songs I ever felt 💯
This is the most wholesome rap song on Earth you can’t convince otherwise.

I think this is one of the most emotional and insightful songs Wayne has ever sang...Still valid and will never get old in my opinion
For sure!
@@triwantee2870 hi
So far it's among the songs that he didn't sound usual as in with his personality
@@kiyimbasamson it's certainly different but that's a positive thing for my part. This just shows how versatile Wayne is!
FACTS!!!
How can we be grown enough to know better than to be thinking the way we be thinking? If we were we'd be grown enough to know better than to be doing what we be doing! Just speaking!
This let's us know that there is always a better version of ourselves that we should strive to achieve! This also tells us that the actions of parents greatly affects their children's future.
Couldn't have said it any better.😇😊☺👍💗
Still one of the best songs i have eve heard
***** You came here to be a smart or what?
***** Please refrain from your blatant persuasion to listen to other music. People can like whatever kind of music they want or whatever song they want and no one's opinion matters. This is a fantastic song and just because you fail to see that doesn't mean it is bad. Maybe he doesn't like Led Zeppelin. I know I don't because it's not what I like to listen to. And one more thing, please learn how to spell and use grammar properly before replying to someone in this manner, it kind of makes it hard to take you seriously...
It is not my "favorite" type of music, I just like to take the time to reply to ignorant comments here and there.
***** I am so sick of people like you
***** Everyone has his own view if u don't ok! Why u have to criticize, also for me is one of the best songs ive ever heard
You reading this I hope god heals you for whatever you’re going through 💯

This song hits differently. I use to cry because the girl found out she had HIV, BUT after growing up and seeing what she went through it all starts with yo example, and then you have the choice for the people your around, and what you see and listen to. Surround yourself with positivity and that’s what you will get. The daughter had to learn from her moms mistakes not to just get with a guy cuz he’s convenient if he’s making you unhappy, or to not just be a baby mama, and to follow your dreams. Once you be good to yourself and be a friend to yourself everything else will fall in place. I mean that so whoever reading this going through something just be who you would need in a friend to yourself, and everything will fall into place. Be good to yourself, make good decisions, have goals and ambitions and you’ll be least likely to learn anything the hard way. Be good to yourself first my friends, love yourself and be the partner, the parent, the friend you need to yourself and watch things improve in your interpersonal life. I’m going through the same journey now, self love and this song just hits in a perfect way. Thank you little Wayne you’ll never see this but thank you for having making this song so it could be something I need right now.
Mans said Little Wayne
Thank you ❤️
Thank you so much for ur kind words of encouragement. I hope we both find what we are looking for in this life...may God bless u always. Take care & much L 💙VE

Much Love....
Wayne's greatest song, period. I'm 25, a real 90's baby. Grew up on ALL his shit, and this is the first time he showed who HE REALLY IS.
AGREED 👍
27 here same boat g
He knows that most of his songs promotes drugs, sex, money, crime, etc. And I suppose that's how he made millions.
But for sure, there were a side of him that felt sympathy for the women he got with, understood their situation and spoke about in the form of a song to warn other young ladies about going down this road. I'm glad he put this song out. :)

This is not his best song idot
to all the girls who’s families never taught them how to love, i pray we all find someone who can help us understand 🥺💕.
Thank you. Amen
i hope god answers us!!!!!
I am sp thankful that i finally found this person
I found mine finally. Only took me 35 years but I couldn't be happier 😌
Seriously... ❤
Family first and we need to do the best for our children... I finally got the message today when I need it the most in my life...thanks Wayne... I'll keep it together for the future of my girls and son 🥲🥲🥲
Society may think lil wayne doesn't know anything about "love" but he has a daughter & three sons. i'm pretty sure that he knows what love is they are his defenition of love. Yeah he may sing about drugs & money & hoes but it doesn't mean he doesn't know the struggle in society. & this video is just plain beautiful because stuff like that does affect your love life & your own life. So to anybody saying all those negative comments clearly is the dumb one 💯
Preach bro
I'm a fan of his and don't mean any hate by this but I think it's sad that all the kids have different moms. I don't doubt the love he has for his kids, but from the looks of it he doesn't know how to love and be in love with a women.
yeah we all have different opinions.
Madison but you don't know the reason why they don't have the same mother and he loves his children very much and you don't know why they don't date anymore and stop hating
Definition dummy
This song is about how people were never taught what real love is! Love is not lust. I guess you have to be taught how to love ?!?
Love starts at home starting with the parents. Parents needs to love their kids.
Yes, we do need to learn how to love. Some people don't realize that either because they've always had it, or they've never had it. You really do need to be taught how to love and it's nothing to shame others about.
jelous is not love the only one who truly loves is you is God
Aw stfu never met my parents nun of them now ima drug lord who don’t love and I’m glad make more money than all for you😂😂🖕🏼🖕🏼
I Really do not understand why he is not listening this song is old but the message the same and so POWERFUL indeed Teach people how to love,and their future will be bright #❤️ 🌎✊❤️🖤🇳🇱!!!
This song is so depressing and therapeutic at the same time. Cause once you go thru so many heartbreaks and toxic relationships it truly becomes hard to love and trust a new partner in your life especially if they are too "too good to be true", and we end up forgetting that we deserve that kinda love.
💯
Can you recommend more songs like this?
you better preach

I’m glad he didn’t leave it on a bad ending I love this song and video
