Is it just me or does this seem to fit in a trilogy of Beth's songs about being in a relationship with an addict?

1. How it ends - addiction starts and vowing to stay with the person and help them start recovery
2. Trenches - starting to realize maybe you can't force them into recovery
3. Savior - walking away because of the toll and realizing you did all you could but it's better to leave and save yourself

[MsDixie]

This song describes what it's like dating an addict for sure

Another Beth Crowley original, another immediate download. Simple.

“It’s time you decide what kind of life you wanna live.” That’s the thing, I never did want to live.

[caseyouellette]

This hit me on an incredibly personal level, my ex is an alcoholic. You captured that feeling of trying so hard to be there as an emotional support while also being so angry that you keep getting hurt by the endless cycle. Thank you for putting into words that helplessness and frustration.

[Spiceyone]

Wish I would have found this song 2 years ago. He might have listened then. I’m out of the trenches now and he’s still in his. So sad the life we could have had….

[awk-wordwriter]

When your the fighter this song hits hard.
But when you're the one being fought for... 😭
I've been on both sides of this fight. I've been the soldier dragging their half dead comrade out of the trenches as well as the one who's digging their finger into the bullet wound.
I expected so many people to save me while pushing them away and I wondered why I was so miserable. So when people with addictions tell me idk what it's like... I do in a way.
I wish I could take those years back of hurting myself and those I loved. I've lost contact with a lot of those people, and I understand why. It hurts that I can't thank them for trying their best.
And when I dealt with those that were like me I was so focused on saving them from my past that I didn't realize I was hurting myself again. I eventually realized it was time to move on. You can't put someone back together if they hog the pieces. And at the end of the day it's not your job to out them back together.
It's been a hot minute since one of Beth's songs made me sob like a baby. This one has reached that level of deep.

[advikas]

And i urge the person who is probably out there giving me so much support to go ahead in their journey, find happiness, be the amazing achiever you have always been despite the setbacks.
Lets be each other's strength from across all that separates us, instead of letting this divide weaken us.
May we forgive each other for the bitterness of the past & move on.

[advikas]

Why do we do this to each other by turns ? There was a distant past when you seem to have walked away & though i know we have nurtured this connection for awhile now energetically & we have something sacred between us, yet i cannot hope to pursue this, in this lifetime. I keep urging you to move ahead with someone special, if you are indeed out there after having been given a miraculous blessing of life anew. Please put yourself in my shoes, how can i dishonour my relationships ?

[judylockhart]

I'm the type that knows I have to do what is right for my kids. Things are changing as I speak. Do your own thing until I know whats going to happen.

[luna_writes]

I've listened to this so many times, but this time, I was thinking of my dad, and it hit so much harder. Especially the angry undertone of the song. At this point, I've given up trying to form a relationship with him. He's seeing me pull away, and I think it's making him try a little, but it's way too late for that.

[rainsworld]

She is literally one of my all time favourites I’m forever a fan 💛

[kawaiiemolga]

"I can't make you change if you don't really want to" that's so true!

[mangoqrwslkvina]

I've been in depression for so long now but it got worse during the recent months. I just want to say, you got this. You can do it. Please don't give up. You are precious.

[bobbigolombiski]

My god this song is perfect for me right now ty

[reyhathaway]

She really understands life. It’s comforting knowing I’m not the only one to feel this way.

[manaswinipragadaraju]

Trying to breath some life back
In what's already half dead!

[rebekahdevereaux]

I don’t think there is one single song of Beth’s that I don’t LOVE. She’s truly amazing. 💚💚💚

[sviniagrace]

This along with Savior perfectly describes me and my mom’s relationship.
Thank you so much for putting it into words. ❤️

// ''Trying to breathe some life back
In what's already half dead" // - ouch, that line hits hard...

I have been in this kind of relationship once. I was fighting to save it, not giving up, when he was indifferent. There are marely things hurting that much as seeing a person you love starts to dislike, and then hate you more and more, despite you trying to fix everything desperately...

then I understood. You shall not waste your time running after people. Just focus on people that stay anyways.
