"This song is very near and dear to my heart," Leach explains. "I wanted the listener to feel the urgency, the heaviness of the topic as well as a possible connection. Many people suffer from mental illness in one form or another. I want nothing more than for people to feel like they are not alone in this struggle. There is always someone there to help, to listen, and to be there for you. Don't lose hope and don’t let your brokenness consume you. Broken can be fixed, or at the very least, maintained. No one is alone in this fight."

Regarding the decision to work with Hope for the Day, Leach says, "I personally chose Hope for the Day to be the organization we partner with for this song. I admire their tireless efforts to spread mental awareness and suicide prevention. The phrase and the hashtag #ItsOkNotToBeOk is a simple yet powerful statement. I think it coincides with #IamBrokenToo perfectly! Johnny Boucher and his organization are out spreading the powerful message of connectivity and solidarity in this fight for understanding mental health issues. I'm honored to have them on our team for this song and this movement to continue to raise awareness and keep the conversation going for mental health issues."

"'I Am Broken Too' is a song that truly encompasses what we need to be doing in society, talking about what we have been through," says Jonny Boucher, founder of Hope For The Day. "We know that by talking about our experiences, we are able to relate and be encouraged to ask for help. Hope for the Day has been working with KsE on breaking the silence around mental health since 2014, and we couldn't be more excited to continue working with them on raising the visibility of resources in our communities."

This song literally saved me from committing suicide this April. I fell off the wagon HARD and was trying to overdose. A friend sent me this video, along with Strength of the Mind and In Due Time. Even though I've heard them a million times, Jesse's lyrics pulled me from the edge.

I'm gratefully sober again, and will gladly reopen my wounds to help the next guy that's suffering. We are broken too.

[Naruto]

To all the people that are broken, I'm broken too. Internet hugs to all of you

I’m 35 yrs old now, reminds me of my early 20’s when I was in Iraq. Killswitch Engage music helped me get through the hell.

[camilaescobar]

There's just something about opening YouTube and seeing a new KsE song, am I right?

[Goliathus_]

Remember YOU are not alone! Because I AM BROKEN TOO ! Broken just like YOU

[corymatthew]

It doesn’t have to be “hard fast heavy” to actually be heavy. The words make it heavy and Fucking beautiful. This is a song on all night repeat😭

[BobiHC]

Dear KSE!
I know you will not read this, but trust me when I say, you’ve saved my life!!
I was close to end it (2003), now I have a beautiful 19 months old son and the best wife in the whole world.
If your music and lyrics were not there with me.. I would be history right now.
Thank you for being KSE!

“I keep making the same mistakes just to feel alive again” I feel this line the most

[christianlooby]

Music was the only thing in my life that saved me from continuing to be a heroin addict I'm six months clean and six months closer to feeling alive again

[robnorish]

I’ve been broken, lost my father 6 years ago. I was 23 and just couldn’t look at the world the same, lost friends along the way but recently I’ve started to feel the change. Love killswitch they’ve been beside me the whole way and this just helps me further. Don’t be afraid to reach out talk, if I could of told my younger self that 6 years ago I’d of helped myself a lot sooner. Look after yourselfs, and each-other see someone struggling reach out and talk, it’s easier than you think 💭 much love peeps

[SuperYinyang]

Sounds more like Times of Grace and I'm not complaining

[Shlumbus]

"if you needed proof ill reopen my wounds" damn.

[MarkindVGA]

Can't believe this masterpiece is 5 years old, scary how fast time flies

[chrispanter]

All I can think of is the story of the man stuck in a hole. Finally someone jumps down in with him, and he asks, “Why did you do that? Now, we’re both stuck.”

The reply being, “It’s ok, I’ve been here before. I know the way out.”
