My friend just sent this song to me, I searched for the lyrics & immediately started welling up but at the same time felt empowered😊 I’m almost out of my abusive marriage…… just a few more steps & I’m free 💪🏻👊🏻🥊❤️
I’m male, loved this song since it’s release. Always hear it in my head. Recently got diagnosed with double lung cancer but I’m over halfway to beating it now. So many of the words sum up my feelings toward my illness. Thank you, Jamelia. You helped people in ways you could never imagine x
every word she sang is how i was and how i felt, no one should suffer like this. thankyou jamelia for having the courage to sing about something so painful
I know exactly what you mean my ex physically and mentally abused me I was 17 he was 22 I had a daughter to him who he used to hit over her head he once head butted me when daughter was in my was in arms he'd locked all the doors I ran to the front door and our mutual friend let me out I ran with her to my friends that wasn't the worst he wouldn't let me leave I waited till he was in prison and put in for a swap he's now dead he died of cancer I couldn't even shed a tear I cried enough because of him xxx Shanna
This song relates to a very special range of people who have seen life through a different type of mindset. The warriors of abuse. Rise up, you're stronger than any man's blow.... Rise up in love ❤️ and strength 💪
Thank you Narc Survivor for sharing. I can't stop crying. Those words penetrated my soul. 23 years of sorrow and hardships. I finally broke free from the abuse and no contact since 11/13/18. Optimistically, this is a blessing rather than a misfortune. We are the WINNERS because we are loaded with radars to read toxic people accurately without a doubt. Thank you. Peace & Love.
Heard my mum cry too this song so many times, then it became my turn to cry. Never again will I take abuse from a man. 4 years free and this song reminds me just how far I have come.
Listen to this every day- makes me stronger and proud I got away when I did! Glad I’m now safe and away from the insanity which is domestic abuse Domestic Abuse Survivor! 💜
To the narcy ex of mine, You took my dance dream from me 2015.. But blessed me with our boy...2016. 2017 mentally broke my heart from that man Still healing from it all but thank you GH 😢
I had to go search and dig up this song even in March 2019.Listening and gathering the same strength I drew from this song years ago.....Thank you for letting me down.Shows I am strong for the million ways you hurt me and I want to say THANK YOU again.
To my ex 13 yrs you kept me locked away made me feel worthless an didnt even bother to hide what you did to me my scars have finally started to heal but inside my head still needs fixing but least I'm literally on the other side of the country away from you and your kids are safe from you aswell im stronger now and you will never hurt me again i feel for any poor woman that goes near you as i know how you can charm anyone woman always be on your guard and men who are vulnerable aswell violent men or women tend to make you feel like your their world until they got their grips into you be safe
After all the beatings , the insults and the control, I've come through the other side stronger than ever. Oh yeah this song has helped me so much. Thank you James
Si my ex husband I remember this song came on radio and I had to pull over as I was crying so much, then sang this at top of voice . Ahhh love music soooo much it sorts every mood 😁
my ex did this to me and will never admit what he did was wrong, but since leaving I've made my life so much better and he has stayed the same. so I'm stronger and better than he will ever be. He will live his life as a parasite and eventually run out of victims. But people like us can survive and thrive and our success is our own cause we don't have to manipulate and use others to get by in life. we can be genuinely loved where they know they have to manipulate others to force them to love them.
Strong woman , ...and very determined. Me too, domestic violence, sexual assaults, gaslighting, smear campaign, coercive control, and lot more hurtful things he did.
I no how it feels i was with someone for 2 years i was young and dumb but it was all worth it because of my son this is so sad im just glad im not in that life no more 😔😔
Every word Jamelia sings could have come from me, i'm no longer afraid or angry anymore but it took years to get to this point, but i'v come to realise that to feel any emotion towards my ex is giving him power so now i feel nothing towards him and rarely even think of him but he definatly has made me a stronger person. to all those people still in that relationship thats abusive its hard to get the courage to leave but once you do the feeling of freedom and strength you get is great, don't stay where your being hurt its not love on the abusers mind.
This song hits every area of my life 2 marriages and my daughters father but im not a victim of domestic abuse and violence I'm a survivor still standing after 35years of abuse inc the child sexual abuse from my step father...... I'm strong I'm a survivor and I'm proud that I still am a fighter
This brings back memories of my early teens. They used to have these little radio toys from Mcdonalds or Burger King back in the daysand one of them had parts of this song. I remember how I looked it up and thought that's heavy for kids.
This song still helps me everyday to remind me how incredibly brave and strong (we all are technically ) I am. Unfortunately I still don’t trust men enough to give my heart. Maybe next time let the wannabe man listen to this song first. Thank you Jamelia for giving us straighnt
I'm a guy.....my moms used to listen to this in the car when dropping me off.....being born with everything laid ahead is humbling.....because you have to at some point grasp working for your own..... I'm 25 and still figuring my life out
thank you cause because of you i learnt not to hide my will behind somebody else, not to cry for those ones who doesn't even know i cry for them, i learnt how sneaky people can turn to be. thank you cause i understood that before everything comes me myself and i and my happiness.
This is for my ex my father step mother and my mother all you done most of my life I now found my strength to be strong and start living for my happiness again.it not gonna be easy but the old me is coming back slowly
I bought vd when it came out. Then reason I bought it reminded me of the life i would have had if my mum was so strong.. i am baby born and conceived in domestic violence. I am to a survivor as well. Thanks mom.
Domestic abuse survivor here 17 years on and always listen to this and now my eldest child is being verbally abusive to me hes 30.... No excuse!!! Verbally or mentally or physically abuse is abuse!!!!! We need to stop it!!!!!
This is for alot of people I think about like my friends and my step brother and stepfather and mostly everything so I thank alot of people but I also thank alot to because I became a strong woman now because of this
were not all bad guys.but you just know to come up with such a heart felt song as this.she must have gone through hell..all i can say is.if she was my lady...boy would i treat her good...beautiful woman..
Thank you & appreciated. Ppl like us just have to think longer before we make a comment :) Some people have been through hardships and this song makes them feel better. Talking about their experiences may in turn help others to escape the same hardships. I can understand how boring it can be for some people to have to sift through it all, but for the right people, it may just save their life. I hope I've explained myself well enough lol! My hands work faster than my brain sometimes haha :)
To a year spent with a violent, scared little boy, thank you. Currently sitting here, looking at how far I've come since I was under your control and I have to laugh :) Degree, good job, speaking to my parents again, independant, happy :)
All the battles you conquered in your life. 👍 Focus on that more than the doom and gloom in the world. Bob Marley says........ Set yourselves FREE from MENTAL SLAVERY....
To all of the fuckers (who are not in my life) who manipulated me and took advantage of me THANK YOU. I've got my self worth back and I'm loving my life.
This was the first real song I ever heard in my life and instantly it was my favourite song for eight years straight. (songs before it were nursery types ect.) Looking back at it and my 13th birthday is come' n up i kinda miss bein so young. She sang it with such pride and really expressed her inner feelings for this song. As u probz know most singers base there lyrics on there feelings and expressions. XxDark-FeyxX
Accidentally found this video but wow spoke to my heart. My exgf was so mentally subtly abusive, tore me down and mixed with some hitting once in awhile. I believe she actually has narcpd...
My bestie used to sing this whilst she sat in mine with the biggest black eye id ever seen.Her & her Mr were the worst couple & as they both drunk,it always got violent.She ended up meeting somebody else but died in a highrise block of flats along with 2fireman.He ended up dying a few years later.I pray thry both either found happiness with other ppl up there,or found happiness together.Lilibet,thanku for being my best friend,Ill never forget you.Mark,i hope you keep ya hands of her up there.
To all women who have found a strength to break free from abusive relationships you are the strongest human being be proud of yourself 💕👆
It’s sad to think as a child I would sing this proudly as a jam and now I can relate 😥
Don’t let the bastards grind you down!
don't make me cry please 😢
I hear you was stuck in an abusive relationship for 7 years I was young dumb stupid and blinded by what I thought was 'love'
Me too 😢❤
My friend just sent this song to me, I searched for the lyrics & immediately started welling up but at the same time felt empowered😊
I’m almost out of my abusive marriage…… just a few more steps & I’m free 💪🏻👊🏻🥊❤️
I’m male, loved this song since it’s release. Always hear it in my head.
Recently got diagnosed with double lung cancer but I’m over halfway to beating it now.
So many of the words sum up my feelings toward my illness.
Thank you, Jamelia. You helped people in ways you could never imagine x
Used to sing this innocently at 13 thinking I could relate. But now at 32 I feel every word of this song.
🤗
every word she sang is how i was and how i felt, no one should suffer like this.
thankyou jamelia for having the courage to sing about something so painful
I hope everyone that relates to this song gets justice and peace
I never got justice but I did find peace.
I'm sorry you never received the justice you SO deserved and are entitled to. I'm glad you found some peace. @@debsatyewtree
She won me to the grave!
Domestic violence survivor.. 2018.. anyone else ? ❤️
Bethany Roussounis I'm a 'survivor' like you😊 Not a 'victim' like other people see me as. Stay strong. X
@@louxthorpe2278 I agree.. no one are victims of those psycho assholes..💁.. xx stay strong also love x
Me this song i play everytime im having a bad day
Got out 5 years ago scars but I'm free! X
Am still in it am so dumb
It amazing how when your 17 you never think a song like this will make sense to you. Ten years later and it does.
I know exactly what you mean my ex physically and mentally abused me I was 17 he was 22 I had a daughter to him who he used to hit over her head he once head butted me when daughter was in my was in arms he'd locked all the doors I ran to the front door and our mutual friend let me out I ran with her to my friends that wasn't the worst he wouldn't let me leave I waited till he was in prison and put in for a swap he's now dead he died of cancer I couldn't even shed a tear I cried enough because of him xxx Shanna

Well done. I know how it feels. It's going to be 11 years of freedom for me.

Lauren Thomas proud of you xx
Charley Blake thank you xx
Back in a day..this song was an anthem for broken heart people...now i understand why...listen this again on july 25th 2023.
This song feels relevant to me even as a man. I suffered horrendous abuse from my step-father as a child until I ran away...
To the narcy ex of mine,
You took my dance dream from me 2015..
But blessed me with our boy...2016.
2017 mentally broke my heart from that man
Still healing from it all but thank you GH
😢

Ha my ex was called James and he was the exact same !! Crazy
This song still speaks to me
I could cry to this song.
Si my ex husband I remember this song came on radio and I had to pull over as I was crying so much, then sang this at top of voice . Ahhh love music soooo much it sorts every mood 😁
