When I was at my lowest point in life and had a bottle in my hand while just running Youtube on autoplay, and just ready to end everything by any means necessary. This song came along and truly did save my life. So just remember never give up on life someone out there loves you and things will get better.

[Skyfx]

Probably the best music video ever, it should've been adapted to a full movie.

This will always be one of my favorite songs off all time

[sapphire]

why does this have 1 million views and Anaconda has something ridiculous like 30million views -.- This is a masterpiece with a meaning, it needs to be appreciated more!

[miblert]

I hate it when I feel useless and can't do anything about these things happening in our world, when I'm just sitting here having a nice life while many people suffer, when I'm scared to help others and when I'm not even appreciating my own life while others are the most unfortunate.

[tinyrhizgoesto]

Not yet a teenager when this song was released and now that I'm almost 30 this song is still saving my life...

Edit: this isn't actually my comment but I found it and just thought it would be great to spread around. You are blessed, you are loved.

Also another thing


You Matter
You Count
You are loved
You are awesome
You are beautiful
You have a good heart
It will get better.




I know when people say "it will get better" you just shrug off and think it never will but you know it's gonna make a deep scar and hurt so don't make it hurt even more. Anyone can win a battle, but only a soldier can win a war. Keep fighting, it will be alright. You know it will. Smile. Look at yourself in the mirror. You are beautiful. Don't fight me on that; you know you are. I know things are hard, I know it seems like there's no point living life, but you are the point. You are the one who keeps strong through all this, you can do this. The struggles in today will be the smiles in tomorrow. Believe in life, believe in your smile, believe in you. Because you matter, you count, you can get through this. You are a soldier, you can win the war. Whatever it is, you can do this. Whether it's something small like an English assignment tomorrow, or something big like the loss of a family member, you can do this. Don't fight the fact that it won't get better, because you are just making it worse. Everyone has a purpose, if you haven't found yours yet it will come. You won't know when, you won't know where, but you will know what.

If they say it's impossible, it's impossible for them, not for you.

Because you matter. Trust me.



I know people are wondering why I wrote this. I wrote this because I care. About you. About your family. About your life. You are beautiful in your own way. When you have insecurities, I like to call them imperfections. And you have perfect imperfections. They are what makes you you. So never try to take that joy from yourself. I've said it before and I will say it again, you matter.


God bless you and your family <3

"This Song Saved My Life"

I wanna to start by letting you know this
Because of you my life has a purpose
You helped me be who i am today
I see myself in every word you say
Sometimes it feels like nobody gets me
Trapped in a world where everyone hates me
There's so much that I'm going through
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you

[Chorus:]
I was broken
I was choking
I was lost
This song saved my life
I was bleeding
Stopped believing
Could have died
This song saved my life
I was down
I was drowning
But it came on just in time
This song saved my life

Sometimes I feel like you've known me forever
You always know how to make me feel better
Because of you, my dad and me
Are so much closer than we used to be
You're my escape when I'm stuck in a small town
I turn you up whenever I feel down
You let me know like no one else
That it's OK to be myself

[Chorus]

You'll never know what it means to me
That I'm not alone
That I'll never have to be

[Chorus 2x]

[4x]
My life, my life
(This song saved my life)

[JaeTheBeats]

As one of fans of Simple Plan for last 10 years, this song is one of the songs that is underrated.
The lyrics, motivation, instrumental, composition, everything is way enough to touch people who listen the song in my opinion, not forcing everyone to feel in same way.
Still listening this song in 2019 :)

[Alyssa.]

this is so fucking beautiful, I'm 14 and most people my age listen to like beiber and drake and stuff like that, and this is much better in my opinion it has meaning

[teddykimentertainment]

This music video no doubt was the most proud and meaningful project I was ever involved in. It has been awarded Gold World Medal in New York Festivals as one of the best music videos and has reached millions of people worldwide. Thanx Simple plan and MTV exit again for a great opportunity to raise the awareness. 

[tmkhmikita]

This is one of my fav songs of Simple Plan, when the song itself is already perfect, then this video...I can never watch this masterpiece without shedding tears 😭

[Ariya]

i wish i had the power to make every person in the world watch this video. it needs to be seen.

[rinrazelle]

This brings tears to my eyes every time I listen and see this...

[AdlerPostHC]

This video deserves a award.

The song is awesome two.

[Yungbsao]

Most down to Earth band i know.

Telling everyone about the worlds problems within their songs is the most legit way to address issues within the human society. Fucking real respect!

[sleepytea]

Most. Beautiful. Song. Ever. If only every song was this beautiful.

[lizhero]

First song I ever heard was perfect and it described my relationship with my mom so well .. After that I searched them up more and I heard welcome to my life and then this song .... My type of music used to be justin bieber and Miley Cyrus and Taylor swift .. But I realized they don't really help me in life they may help others but not me ... Wen I discovered this band I realized this is what I have been missing in life they are the gap in my life they saved me... My life was complicated and I felt alone my parents didn't understand ppl made fun of me ... But for once wen I discovered them I didn't feel alone ... There was a point wen I just wanted to die .... But they made me realize that I'm not alone but life gets better .. If I ever meet simple plan I will thank them for saving me and being with me always ... I love them ... THANK U SIMPLE PLAN

[djm]

Wow, to think how brave that girl was and how much hope she still had to sew that message in that shirt. And to also think the man who found the message in his shirt could've easily thrown it away thinking it was just a useless tag with a language he couldn't read. I AM GOING TO LOOK AT MY CLOTHES MORE CAREFULLY FROM NOW ON OMG. I wish we could save all victims of trafficking like this. Bless them. We take life for granted.

[fantaxsea]

this is the song that saved my life when i used to struggle with depression and social anxiety thank u simple plan for everything..
