Who else loves all the emotion in every song Ben sings.

[lillymackenzie]

how he warmed up: the poor GUY’S HEad is spinning

[Love-Is-Kind]

Whew! This man can actually "sang"! Oh my goodness! Where in the world... stars did you find him? Beautiful voice!

[enzocapo]

YOU SING BOY. Gosh, this boy sure sings. Those riffs were everything

[RandomProductions]

Still killing it Ben, still fucking killing it!

[RENThead]

I can't with Ben in this song. Coming across this song at this particular time in my life is a blessing. Each word rings truth and I feel it with every inch of myself. Thank you Joey for this song and thank you Ben for delivering it with such power.

[rianellealba]

too weak for this song. I can't wait for the duet version of this with the king and queen of riffs! sending so much love.

[kaylamcook]

Who gave this man permission to be this gorgeous?
Because I'd like to thank them.

[sammyt]

I actually cry every time I hear him sing, I just can't handle it anymore.

I came here to find a version of David Archuleta singing this, but I’m very much okay with listening to the flawless vocals of Ben🥹! Never a note out of place! He has built in auto tone in his voice and his runs😳, so crisp and accurate! His choices here were so great! I screamed out loud at some of those note and run choices! I would love to hear this as duet between Ben and David, imagine that insanity😮👏!

[Alizael]

I love Ben, he's amazing and I love this beautiful song!
If anyone wants the lyrics here it is.

What you don't know is that I would do anything for you
What you don't know is that I would do anything for you

Love me, love me not
Counting petals on the floor
Stop being so afraid
To let our love become more
Take me, take me in
I won't let you down
I'm not running
I'm not leaving today

But you can think what you want
There's only so much I can do and you
Don't see all I am giving away
And I'm asking for you to stay

Love me, love me not
Counting petals on the floor
Stop being so afraid
To let our love become more
Take me, take me in
I won't let you down
I'm not running
I'm not leaving
I'm not hiding, no
I'm not lying
I'm not wanting anybody else today
But you ... just you.

What Ben doesn't know is that I would do anything for him... He needs to stop being afraid to let or love become more.... I won't let him down... lol

[randafoote]

Ben needs to stop. I'm not mentally nor emotionally strong enough to handle his voice anymore.
