📝 Lyrics:
[INTRO]
Empty, and numb
Still can't get past all the sadness and the crumbs I left
Help me, I'm scared
'Cause the one thing on my mind
Is for me to disappear

[CHORUS]
So mama when I die
Please hold in your cry
Just know that when I'm gone
I'll always be right by your side
And lover when I leave
I know that we don't speak
I'm sorry that I failed you
But you meant the world to me

[SECOND INTRO]
I lost my sight
I still can't see all the places
Where there might be light
I used to stare
At the mirror, now I don't
'Cause when I do I see a ghost

[BRIDGE]
It's not my fault that you feel like I'm so self-centered
I'm tryna be better
But I feel under the weather

[SECOND CHORUS]
So mama when I die
Please hold in your cry
Just know that when I'm gone
I'll always be right by your side
And lover when I leave
I know that we don't speak
I'm sorry that I failed you
You deserve better than me

[REPEAT]
So mama when I die
Please hold in your cry
Just know that when I'm gone
I'll always be right by your side
And lover when I leave
I know that we don't speak
I'm sorry that I failed you
You deserve better than me

[VOICEMAIL]
Hi mom it’s me, I just wanted to call and say I love you. And I know that that’s random, but I feel like I don’t say it enough so here I am. And I hope you are okay. Um yeah, I love you mom. Okay bye-bye.

I had a therapist look at me and say, “depression is a life long battle, it’s a fight that never ends. One misstep and your back to where you came from. But it’s a fight you should never give up on. Judging from the way you are feeling I see that if something happens you get back there. Remember you are not alone, you have people everywhere and they love you. Just never give up the fight.”

[evestidham]

I hope my daughter doesn't end up as sad and depressed as I have been. I want my daughter to be happy, and I want her to live a better life than I ever have. I hope I'm a good mom. I hope I don't mess up. I hope she loves me as much as I love her.

[hybridreapers]

What's sad is we all feel this. I just hope the singer didn't die.

[scarygamer-yvoi]

It hurts when you can imagine someone singing this and meaning every single word, ..just praying that they don't

[el]

"Help me, I'm scared" Is such a painful lyric. Because that's what it truly feels like when I'm in the depths of depression. When all I can think about is hurting myself and I just want to make it so I don't exist anymore. That shit is fucking terrifying, because in that moment you truly do think about ending your life, even if deep down you know you don't want to. And you know in your heart that all it takes is for one shitty day, or one slip and you could actually end your life- because your brain is working against you, to make you feel like the pain of that struggle isn't worth it and it'd be easier to just let go.

[harrysmicstand]

the moment when that one tear comes out and river begins to flow..

[melanieleiton]

Great now I’m crying. I know I’ll never actually do it. But the want and thought never leaves my mind

[alexkolb.official]

I discovered this song November 5th, 2021, the day before I planned on ending my life. It was so tough to hear and I couldn't stop crying over it. My stomach felt nauseous from the emotion. I survived the attempt and am doing better, and now listening to this song, I remember all the terrible things I went through and where I am today. So if you ever feel like giving up, don't. I promise a bright future is up ahead. <3

[monicaibasco]

The thought of doing it scares me, but the fact that the thought never goes away scares me more.

Another moment where a song appears when I am in the midst of dealing with things in my life. I don't want to die but this definitely hits me hard because I am lost in trying to figure out what to do in a situation I am currently in. Its makes me realize that maybe there isn't much I can really do right now and that I just have to hope that they can weather this storm and get to a point where things can change. I have to stay strong for them and for me, Thanks for this song, it was what I needed.

[darksky]

This song is stuck in my head... whenever i listen to this i cant control my tear⚰️.... depression is one of the worst thing in the world its like cancer it has no treatment and to pretend happy infront of parents are worst than that💔... To the person who is reading this... EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT IN THE END IF ITS NOT ALRIGHT ITS NOT THE END❣️

[bricantonwine]

“I lost my sight, I still can’t see all the places where there might be light.” I just want to know what a sunrise feels like, I see the colors but inside I see black and white.

[khanbakhtiyar]

The lyrics are so deep, hits differently !! Thanks TGM for this beautiful song ❤️

[itsyourgirlamanda]

It's crazy how many people come back to this everyday.💕

2022 anyone??

[gachaavacado]

The fact most of us relate just shows how many people are struggling now days 🖤

[SumansudhaGurungSA]

Recovery is hard. Healing is hard. When you are in the midst of it, it can feel like it's never going to get better but here's a little reminder that it does. Storms always pass✨. YOU GOT THIS🫂. We all struggle with the feelings that we'd be better off gone, it's not true. You're loved even when you don't feel like it, every second on this earth is worth living. As someone who has dealt with horrible thoughts and temptation, I have to say that I'm so thankful and beyond happy that I stayed🥺.

I feel this song so strongly. I have been extremely suicidal and just overwhelmed with bitterness and anger. My moms a narcissist that doesn’t love me but besides the mama lyrics this song hit hard. I had it on repeat for an hour.

[sunflowersrosieashle]

When I first heard this song, it brought me back to last year. I remember sitting outside my mom's bedroom with my family members, I just sat there against the wall looking up, and silently crying because I knew her time was soon to come. I miss my mom everyday and this song just makes me want to run up to her and hug her and tell her how much I love her and how I wish she could quietly tell me, that she loves me one last time.

[lachibolala]

That line ' So Mamma when I die, hold in your cry*
Just know that I'm gone, I'll Always be your side' -- just getting goosebumps... it's so relatable 🙂 like idk when but maybe soon my Momma is gonna felt that💔
