The way she sings, makes one who's done no wrong in a relationship wanna apologize for something.

[owenhinkson]

This song makes me think about how good God is. Even though I fall and make mistakes, he still loves me. Thank you Jesus. What a beautiful song, singer and pianist 🙏🏾🖤

[EuticusMola]

I've been battling mental illness for 12 years now. This song speaks to the struggle to just not love others but to love myself. I sing this for those who've stayed long enough to become my safe space.

[stephanieharper]

Feel like this was written for me. Thank you Jesus, Mom and Dad, my husband and children, and all who pour into me on my worst days.

Lyrics

I know that the way I am is a bit complicated,  
So thank you for waiting,  
Thank you for your patience,
Your the reason we made it,
I’m here then I’m gone,
I leave you alone but you’re never phased yeah,  
For that I’m grateful,


But I don’t want to let you down down down,
but when I do you’re on the ground ground ground 
To pick me up when I’ve had enough and I know it’s not easy for you 


Yeah I know it must be hard to love,
Somebody like me
I know it must be hard to love,
Somebody like me,
To love somebody like,  
To love somebody like,
When I start to lose myself,
You keep holding onto me 
I know it must be hard to love somebody like me me me


I know that sometimes you think I’m going to leave you behind,
Get caught in this life,  
You should know I need you by my side 
You figured me out when no one knew how you the place I feel safe,
So for that Im feel grateful


And I don’t want to let you down down down,
but when I do you’re on the ground ground ground,
To pick me up when I’ve had enough and I know it’s not easy for you,  
Ohhh 



I know it must be hard to love somebody like me 
To love somebody like 
To love somebody like 
I know it must be hard to love somebody like me 
To love somebody like
To love somebody like 


When I start to love to myself you keep holding onto me 
I know it must be hard to love somebody like me me me (to love somebody like)


I know it must be hard love somebody like me 
hard to love
hard to love
I know it must be hard love somebody like me 
hard to love
hard to love
I know it must hard to love somebody like me
hard to love
hard to love

Imagine singing this to God I know it’s hard but he keeps granting grave and mercy

[anthonybarreno]

I was lucky enough to spend my best years of my life with my past lover. She put up and helped me get over my anxiety every day, continuing to give her love that I took for granted in the end. I’m selfish. This song really hits home.

[hboettcherrhs]

Imagine if Hamzaa and Jacob Banks sang this as a duet.. oof

[VictoriaGabrealla]

The more I listen to this the more it brings tears to my eyes. This is truly breathe taking. I'm speaking this into existence. Your career and artistry will flourish even more and you wont ever be replaced or replicated. Your gifts will continue to touch millions upon millions even after we all aren't here. You will be the future's classic. Your voice was literally touched by an angel and I'm obsessed now. I'm thankful I found this when I did.

[angelinanadal]

She sings with her heart🌻❤Juste parfait❤

[LegndMusic]

This got me in the gut... This... This right here is why I love Mohoganny Sessions... I don't think I ever would have heard her otherwise... Just amazing....

[mattworthington]

Guys, this is one of your best videos. Absolute perfection. If it jumps to 1, 000, 000 listens in a week, it might be my fault.

[ryheisha]

This song. The simplicity of this video and yet every note tells a story...
