LYRICS:
I'm holding back right now
'Cause I'm numb to what's around
I miss the life I used to have with you right here
Now everything has turned to grey
And I'm blacking out the shades for now

Let me be sad
Even for a little while
Just a chance to catch my breath
Let me be sad
Even for a little while
'Cause it's all that I have left
When all I see are the memories, I don't want to lose a thing
Let me be sad, let me be sad

Can you see it in my eyes I've been distant?
'Cause I can't tell if it's the end or the beginning
I know I haven't been myself, I'll admit it
And I put up walls, so if I burned any bridges just know
I'm doing everything i can to try and fix it
But knowing me I'll probably miss it
These voices get so vicious
Feels like I'm rippin' stitches
I wish some days I could go back
Before life changed, it was so fast
That time is gone and I know that
So please

Let me be sad
Even for a little while
Just a chance to catch my breath
Let me be sad
Even for a little while
'Cause it's all that I have left
When all I see are the memories, I don't want to lose a thing
Let me be sad, let me be sad

I'm doing everything i can to try and fix it
But knowing me I'll probably miss it
These voices get so vicious
Feels like I'm rippin' stitches
I wish some days I could go back
Before life changed, it was so fast
That time is gone and I know that
All that we have is a moment
So please

Let me be sad
Even for a little while
Just a chance to catch my breath
Let me be sad
Even for a little while
'Cause it's all that I have left
When all I see are the memories, I don't want to lose a thing
Let me be sad, let me be sad

I'm holding back right now
(Let me be sad)
'Cause I'm numb to what's around
I miss the life I used to have with you right here
Now everything has turned to grey
And I'm blacking out the shades for now

After losing my dad in 2022, this song has gotten me through so many difficult times. It is truly therapeutic.

[dfresh]

I lost my Aunt today and due to the trauma of my childhood, I have to remind myself that it’s normal and healthy to feel the pain and grief that occurs with loss. This song helps me so much with what I need to feel in order to process and move on without her in my family’s life now.

[Azra-vx]

I lost my grandparents. When i hear this song i cry so hard.😭

[jeremiahkennisonjr]

My favorite song right now. I am going through a such a touch time right now. With PTSD, Depression, and severe Anxiety. This song is how I feel big time right now. I also lost my grandfather I was really close to back in January.

[thursdayfivenine]

I think Trauma is your best album. Hope after all this Live uploads you be able to release new music!!!😶😊

[festivenachos]

For myself, this song fills an emotional space. I haven't had a song hit so close to home like this since "The End" by Linkin Park or going way back, ST's "How will I laugh tomorrow". I doubt the band reads comments on youtube, but just in case, ty.

My mom, stepdad, brother, and sister died in a fire that destroyed our home last year. This song has resonated so strongly and has gotten me through many tough days. Sending love to anyone else struggling

I lost my dog today. I still vividly remember 13 and a half years ago finding him as a little puppy, so he'll always be my baby. "I miss the life I used to have with you right here. Now everything has turned to grey." "I wish some days I could go back. Before life changed, it was so fast. That time is gone and I know that. So please, let me be sad." These lyrics man. It's therapeutic to listen to for sure, and I'll be replaying it a lot in the days to come. Rest in peace, buddy. I love you with all my heart, and I'll miss you so so much.

I had this play at my sons funeral last year, absolutely beautiful tune!

[travistesluk]

My favorite IP song. It's criminal how overlooked it's been for how deep and accurate it hits emotional holes in most of us. Never get tired of this one. 🙏🤘

[robbiesylling]

I will turn 56 in April I luv this band. Aug 18/2009 I lost my Father In Law. ten days later I lost my father the day before our wedding anniversary.

I had some time to heal so I thought. Fast forward to Jan 18 2017 I lost my mom then my brother June 28th two weeks before his birthday.

I have a loving supportive wife she is my rock yet I am so broken and devastated. I am stumbling though life at this point

Thank you all for sharing your struggles we are not alone. I Prevail your music helps me cope with life

[GabeHaxton]

After last year this has helped me express what I can’t say out loud, you guys help me speak up even tho I can’t.

[FLtrailblazer]

Depression is real and hurts thank you for making music to keep us strong

[andrewcampillo]

Every song from this album hits home! Everything was so well done

[nick-zigzag]

Trauma what a perfect spot on name for the album. Can't hear this song without crying but I love the song so much

[AdamMcPherson-md]

This song really resonates in me. I'm currently going through the most difficult shit. I feel like I'm fighting for my survival the entire day. I heard this song today and I can't stop listening to it. Thank you for such an amazing song!

[howanyk]

This song is one i didnt know i needed. My dad passed away in April and this hits hard. I have been trying to keep it together for everyone.

[stylesonline]

I sent this song sometime in the spring of this past year to a friend, but, for some reason, it's hitting hard now, my brother's in bad shape, my parent's hearts and mine are broken after Christmas with how much more he has deteiorated this last year.
In a way, they get it, but, it's different when they're 2 hours away, and I've been on the battlefield for 15 years.

Taking Care Of Someone Who Is Slowly Falling Apart For Years and Years, Is One Of The Most Gut Wrenching Things IMMAGINABLE...

No matter where you are in life, struggling or blessed, or both, or one or the other, you matter, you don't need the validation of anyone or anything to believe that it's true.
Life is going to beat the sh*t outta you, drag you through the mud, and demand you surrender; don't you dare!
Even if life has lost all meaning, live, persist, matter, make your life count, there will plenty of time to rest when the journey's over.
Don't die with your music still inside you.
I GET IT, I've spent the better part of a quarter of a 100 years Trapped, in a Burning Body, dealing with the world's worst pain disease, CRPS.
I GET IT, the days are long, and the nights are evil, persist, Seneca said that sometimes living, is an act of courage in itself, even if you're barely holding on, barely keeping your head above the water persist, insist on giv'em hell.

Chin up Soldier, Fight to Live Another Day.

I love it how songs come back at pertinent times in ones life.
