      That verse hit close to home as my brother had recently been murdered when I first listened to this song. Hearing him sing about his sister like that felt as though I were hearing my brothers last words to me, almost as though he had sent of piece of himself from Hades realm(I'm pagan and worship/follow Hades as my god of death, therefore I believe we get sent there after death. Please do not argue with me on this or comment how it's weird or try to shove your viewpoints down my throat,) to show me he's still with me in heart and it'll be okay eventually.
      I still always do cry when I hear that part of the song. I miss you Bryan, I always will. I'm never gonna forget you and I'll live happily for you. Even though it's far away in time, I can't wait to see you again. I love you, forever and always big bro❤

I get sad a lot, but then I just think about Alec’s songs, and hum them in my head, and it really calms me down. The songs are so moving, and personally, I like this song and his collaboration with dream the best. Alec Benjamin, I f you ever see this, just know that I love you, and I’m here for you man.

    When life wasn’t easy 6 years ago she popped into my life when I needed it the most
    I know she would never betray me so I hate to see her sad
    So I made this verse to tell her that I’m always on her side, I made this verse to tell her that I’m always on her side I made this verse to tell her that
    The world’s not perfect but it’s not that bad
    If we got each other, and that’s all we have

    I'm 13, already been through hell
    Lost my girl, lost my brother
    Almost lost myself
    So I'm thankful for the music
    Though sometimes it makes me cry
    Cause the tears help me remember there's a reason I survived
    I've got big dreams
    And god, I know they're stupid
    But to hell with it, cause I know I can do it
    So I'm thankful for the tune, thankful for the notes
    Thankful for the music, hence this verse I wrote
    Even after hell
    I will not surrender
    I will fight for
    A better world
    When the worlds not perfect, and when life ain't fair
    I know that that my headphones will always be there
    When I put them on, and I forget
    For a moment, it's all worth it.
    Oh, oh-oh
    It's all worth it.
    Edit 9 months later: thank you for the kind replies, you're too kind
    Also
    I'm 14,
    Been to hell and back
    Spent so many hours crying
    By now I've lost track
    But I kept my head up
    Kept my headphones on
    Made a new family
    Made me think of this song
    So I'm thankful for time
    Though it's not the time that heals
    It's the way you spend it
    And I'll never yield
    Even after all
    I could never fall
    There's still reasons
    To stay
    Cause the world's not perfect
    But it's not that bad
    If I've got hope
    And that's all I have
    I'll hold it tight
    Pat myself on the back
    If you're moving at all
    *you're on the right track*

    The second verse reminds me of a couple that I took care of at a nursing home they shared the same bed and everything. One time the woman fell, as old people often do (she was fine) but her husband immediately broke down and cried. All those years together and he was still so deeply invested in her well-being

    I really relate to this song. I'm actually 19 with a baby on the way. This is the song for my little one. Its going to be hard being a single mom, but every bit of it is going to be worth it. And I'll do whatever I can to make sure every memory is a happy one.

    I love how all his songs are about him learning something. This is about him appreciating his sister, my mother's eyes is about him learning to Appreciate his mom, I built a friend is about him learning that you need to keep your friends close, Steve is about him learning that he has things others don't, I could do this for every song, and that is awesome to me.
