A toxic disordered personality does not change overnight, just as a controlling personality doesn't change overnight, and sometimes never change , people are who they are, and if this person isn't holding to your expectations be with someone who is.
She's talking about a man that has commitment issues. They see our worth, they know deep down inside they don't want to lose us. Yet they are unable to pinpoint their own misalignment and fear that is holding them back from truly taking a leap of faith in love and relationships. It's a vicious cycle and if we can end it before it begins, true love will come walking into our lives and reflect what we have to offer. True reciprocity. The tragedy is in that these toxic relationships are people that love us that we also love. However, they have to be willing to heal their trauma and move forward. It's not our job or obligation to hold their hand while they cross the street. Most heartbreaking of scenarios. I keep living it out over and over again.
Omg.. This is literally exactly the way I feel . I’m so hurt my heart is literally broken into 1000 pieces We are so amazing together in so many ways . I love this man with all my heart I don’t want or desire anyone else .But I feel like such a fool sticking around Almost 3 years in & ive told him more times than I can remember that I love him He’s never even said it once
sometimes our fears are voiced but never addressed and the other party refuses to accept that would gain inches only to give up yardage each time they messed up. I was the one who was waiting for a consistent patten of trustworthiness and it never came, and at the end she blamed me for not loving her the way she was loving me. Though her love came with suicide threats, cheating, and humiliation, and living on eggshells.
Honestly speaking and if you keep it real with yourself and let go of ego, it's usually the other way around of YOUs all needing to let go and confronting your commitment issues acting as if being kind and supportive is a prize. Neither of us is our job or obligation to hold each others hand but sometimes we put too much prize on that. If you expect a man to support and understand you then do the same back, you'll be surprised how much people are willing to open up and work with you when you offer support. They'll in turn offer the same support back
As a young white boy growing up in south Houston, I remember having to order this album when it dropped through my uncle because my parents wouldnt've let me listen to it. The impact of this album led me to discover The Fugees, Pac, Biggie, Wu-Tang, Big L, Mos Def/Talib Kwali and Atmosphere. I think about how I wouldve grown up if I hadnt got this album. Greatest female MC of all time hands down, much love and respect Lauryn.
My mom passed away a year ago, this was her favorite album. She introduced me to this that's why I listen to this to this day 24 years later. I miss her more than anything. Wish I could turn back the hands of time.
MAGNIFICENT! Thank you for using this word to pay homage this, her Masterpiece. While typing my response I realized I couldn't remember how to spell it. It hit me, has it been so long since I had anything MAGNIFICENT in my life? Thank you sir - Thank you Lauryn Hill! Jesus just spoke to me ♥️
"You said you'd die for me, why don't you live for me?" 😭😭😭❤ As a teenager I was bumping this, oblivious to the meaning! As an adult crying to this! Whew!
Brionna Jones technically, she only had this one album. That acapella shit was a complete disappointment. I think she might have been on drugs for a while or something
Brionna Jones All she needed was this album and she could quit. This is one of the all time great albums. There was three of the greatest albums of all time released the same day. Lauren Hilll, OutKast, and JayZ. That will never happen again.
This woman can SING, rap and write some amazing lyrics…she never misses. The harmonies, the background vocals and the instrumentals invokes so many emotions. Man, God bless Lauryn Hills and I pray she’s inspired one day to give us at least one more album.
I've been in that situation so many times. Even when i was in the wrong and i was the one who wanted to walk away, my bf would break every limb in his body to make me not leave.
"I keep letting you back in,how can I explain myself ? As painful as this thing has been.....i just cant be with no one else" .That part always gets to me 😭 why do we do that to ourselves?
It was September 29, 1998. Three of the greatest albums was released on the same day. Lauryn Hill (The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill), OutKast(Aquemini), Jay Z (Vol.1 Hard Knock Life). That will never happen again. Three classic albums on the same day. What a time in music history.
I remember at the end of my last relationship, listen to this song and crying my eyes out... Now I smile when I hear this cause I know that part of my life is done and I'm better than I've ever been. I'm at peace.

I've never personally known anyone who committed suicide until Sunday morning. Listening to this for you Ashley. She was a blonde haired blue eyed girl who listened to country music. Surprised the hell out of me and my sister when she went to the jukebox and played this about 4 months ago. Said it was one of her favorite songs...knew every word. My sister and I sang it with her. She said Lauren Hill wrote songs that "touch a woman's heart". Had no idea you felt so lonely. I will pray for your son, I hate that he was the one that found you. I'm always going to think of you now whenever I hear this . Hope your journey to the other side was swift and that you are Resting In Peace 🕊🌅
Wow... I don't usually comment on these things, but i hope your friend has found peace and that you take wateva higher power that graces u in accordance, acceptance, and knowledge... May the the most high be blessed and may you and your lost, but neva forgotten one be foreva loved and guided by the hem of his garments... ❤❤❤
@@MsChantae honey it is not a bad thing to wish someone freedom from toxic situations. What am I supposed to do? Trauma bond with a couple of people in the comments? I never said I was immune, but you somehow thought I did.
I listened to the album and this song in particular when my marriage ended. A white man in England brought up on rock. It's one of the greatest albums ever made.
Was in a toxic relationship for two years then I had to watch him give someone else everything I deserved Ended of getting diagnosed with really bad depression over it To the point were I didn’t even wanna be alive this song hit different when she said “ nobody’s hurt me more than you and no one ever will “ I just cry my eyes out 😭💔😩
I blocked my ex on all social media. I do not want to see him with someone else, because I know he will treat them better than me. He told me he treated his ex's better than me. I was just not worth it for him to change, but I know many people who love me for me and appreciate me deeply.
It could all be so simple But you'd rather make it hard Loving you is like a battle And we both end up with scars Tell me, who I have to be To get some reciprocity No one loves you more than me And no one ever will Is this just a silly game That forces you to act this way?

Lauryn hill made Ex Factor she was talking about Marleys son whom she haves 5 kids but she has six total. I thought they were still together Lauryns has the most beautiful voice and personality❤❤ To bad that's his loss I love her ever since I heard her on Sister Act.
Ms. Hill managed to put into words the excruciating heartbreak of a toxic relationship. It can be so hard to pull away from even though you know it's slowly destroying you... maybe even both of you. Even though it goes against all good sense you keep thinking "maybe this time we can get it right. Maybe this time they'll really change". No matter the specifics of your situation, when you hear this song you know EXACTLY what she's talking about.
It hurts when you realize you were the toxic person. Sometimes you gotta let go so your better half can grow. Just didn't know that the last time I kissed you was it. If I could go back I would change everything. But she became a better person because of how shitty I was. I am the boyfriend Lauryn Hill is talking about. I love you C. Will meet together on the other side love
@@jaymanrls A disorder in which a person has an inflated sense of self-importance. Narcissistic personality disorder is found more commonly in men. He is playing with her emotions because he believes his feelings are the only feelings of importance. He can never care for anyone other than himself.
“no ones hurt me more than you, and NO ONE ever will.” i felt that as well!! But God bless y’all, Jesus loves y’all please be saved. i pray y’all find Jesus love❤️😊
My friend just passed away. They played this at her viewing. I'll always think about her when I listen to this now. I'm so heartbroken. Rest in peace Vianae, I love you ma
Should you be sorry for the dead or the living? There is no pain where vianae is God willing. The dead should feel sorry for the living. Especially those living without purpose.
It hits different when you imagine the song is about figuring out how to love yourself, all your iterations, and what it’s like inheriting and healing your own mistakes or trauma. But yeah, relationships too. Regardless- this whole album taught me how to be truly human. I will always love Lauryn Hill.
Man, what a work of genuine heart and soul this record was. How aptly titled it was given Lauryn's subsequent wrestlings with the music industry, government and God, etc. God bless you Lauryn, wherever you are.
My husband ruined our marriage and I wait patiently for him to understand the damage he has caused and to come back changed. I just put my faith in the creator. And muster up joy everyday until we are reconciled.
my mom and I have a very abusive relationship and we fight everyday, i remember after a beating I heard her voice in my head screaming at me for a whole week, now I cant't sleep after our fights, so I just lay in my bed, but my boyfriend to get me out of there, I'm 14, I hope no child goes through what I went through, this hurts me so much, like if you wish me luck of getting out of this place.
Cedis Sykes You have to understand that not everyone’s mother is like yours. Some of them love their children while other depise them deeply. But you can’t apply yours to everyone’s situation.
This song will forever remind me of the most toxic man I have ever known. Every woman/man that has had their heart and soul ripped out by a narcissist gets this song on a different level 💔 I remember listening this crying one night when the ex was out with yet another woman. everything else he did that followed was beyond soul destroying. Now.. years later it’s a bad chapter but you never forget!
I have cried and healed to this song thinking of my parents who didn't work hard enough to keep me and I lived painfully I would cry to this so hard til my head would hurt I'm in a better place Music heals people
Its so deep, us guys would make ourselves seem so weak & start crying(mostly explaining why we are a piece of shit at times). & the woman falls for it because she genuinely loves him & the cycle goes again
You can hear the pain in her voice while listening to this song. You don’t even have to go through anything to understand how painful this song is. Applause Lauryn Hill.
Whew....this song hit..."No one's hurting more than you....you let go and I'll let go too." Boy oh Boy...that one relationship that made you feel like ending it all. The one where you felt like you couldn't breathe w/out them. Thank you for delivering me God. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
True definition of being in love with a narcissist. Smh We don’t understand songs sometimes until your going through it I always heard the farm but never really listened Songs like this just can’t be wrote you have to go through life experiences to get this deep I love Lauryn💯
The Narcissist she was speaking of was Wyclef...Thats the relationship that fucked her head up...he was twisting her thoughts, had her believing she was crazy...what he did to her mentally, psychologically, and physically is deeply comparable to the crazy shit R.Kelly was doing to Aaliyah...#StockholmSyndrom
This has been the soundtrack to my life. The album came out just as I was beginning highschool. What an awful time for me. People were so cruel. I have cried and belted out songs from this album in times of sadness, happiness, my lowest and highest points. I wonder if she realizes how many lives she changed, healed, transformed, and helped with her words and voice.
@@BuNy-jy5cx Yes! I'm a teacher now. I always look out for the kids who are hurting like I was, but don't have the voice yet to speak up. Pain can transform into advocacy and power if we let it. Thanks for your concern :)
This has such deep meaning for so many. Take a moment to listen to her passionate plea. It may be healing to those that have suffered a love/hate relationship.
Thankfully not me, however i know the feeling all too well. But thankfully i've been single and stress free for all but four years. Hope everyone goin through some bullshit can finally break free and celebtate life and their independence.
I use to sing this song because of my ex. He really never deserved the woman that I am. He did not treat me fairly, kindly, etc. My new boyfriend is way over better than him. My man is so kind, fair to me, sweet, etc. We make each other laugh and smile every single day since we got into a relationship. I wish, hope, and pray that it will always be the same because I don't want to get hurt neither keep my hopes up and get my man hurt neither. I love my man so much cause he can cry a river for me, he cares for me, he is there for me especially he gives me love, loyalty, honesty, and devotion. 🙏🏿😍💖
Craziest part of a toxic person is that you love them, endlessly without limits nor boundaries but they constantly and continuously show you why you shouldn’t, but you physically, mentally & emotionally cannot.
Currently in this type of relationship… with a toxic gaslighting narcissistic manipulator… “tell me who I have to be” you should never have to change for anyone.. if you ain’t good for them you can’t make them love you.. I should know… I need out
This the exact words of a trauma bond... It stings on so many levels... "Why wont you live for... You said youd die for me... Where were you when i needed you??" Lordt the real is just that
“You said you’d die for me. Why won’t you live for me?” I felt this.

This is crazy, this is crazy (This is crazy, uh-huh)
I keep letting you back in
How can I explain myself?
As painful as this thing has been
I just can't be with no one else
See I know what we've got to do
You let go, and I'll let go too
'Cause no one's hurt me more than you
And no one ever will
No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain't workin', It ain't workin' (It ain't workin')
And when I try to walk away
You'd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy, this is crazy
Care for me, care for me
I know you care for me
There for me, there for me
Said you'd be there for me
Cry for me, cry for me
You said you'd die for me
Give to me, give to me
Why won't you live for me?
Care for me, care for me
You said you care for me
There for me, there for me
Said you'd be there for me
Cry for me, cry for me
You said you'd die for me
Give to me, give to me
Why won't you live for me?
Care for me, care for me
You said you care for me
There for me, there for me
Said you'd be there for me
Cry for me, cry for me
You said you'd die for me
Give to me, give to me
Why won't you live for me?
Care for me, care for me
You said you care for me
There for me, there for me
Said you'd be there for me
Give to me, give to me
Why won't you live for me?
Cry for me, cry for me
You said you'd die for me
Couldnt hold yeah?
@@tlotliambrosekedijang9497 Thank you for reminding me to listen to this masterpiece again 😍
Lauryn hill made Ex Factor she was talking about Marleys son whom she haves 5 kids but she has six total. I thought they were still together Lauryns has the most beautiful voice and personality❤❤ To bad that's his loss I love her ever since I heard her on Sister Act.
“See I know what we’ve got to do, you let go, and I’ll let go too”
Honest, heart wrenching brutal truth sometimes!
"You let go and I let go too." I felt that!!!!!!!!
Yass
Anyone in 2024 listening to this as if it's a new Hit😂😂😂😂
Tj
THIS ALBUM IS A MASTERPIECE!!!
When she says "where we're you when I needed you" WHO ELSE GETS CHILLS 😭😍
trillco my fav part 🔥
So relatable :,(

Naeva
I do to. Hits a nerve when i hear it.
This whole song has so many parts it so hard
I feel every line 😢😢♥️♥️♨️
This song will never get old or lose its relevance.
True song amen
LOVE!!!!
It could be from 1965 or 2020...timeless is a perfect word.
True!!!
Right ❤
I remember this beautiful black girl, listening to this in her dorm room at SDSU, spending the night. If you're out there, I hope you're good.
I swear, when I was younger I would listen to music but it took me to get grown to hear it.
I feel you didn't understand until I got older..
"Where were you when i needed you"
I am a grown man...but this line still brings tears to my eys.....damn memories
Come back Lauryn and give us real music again,,, 2019?? Anyone else but me ??
Yes!
Facts
I'm with u
We need Nicki Minaj back
pepi everage Lots of real music out there now days for sure but this is a great beautiful track. ❤️
Ms. Hill managed to put into words the excruciating heartbreak of a toxic relationship. It can be so hard to pull away from even though you know it's slowly destroying you... maybe even both of you. Even though it goes against all good sense you keep thinking "maybe this time we can get it right. Maybe this time they'll really change". No matter the specifics of your situation, when you hear this song you know EXACTLY what she's talking about.
It hurts when you realize you were the toxic person. Sometimes you gotta let go so your better half can grow. Just didn't know that the last time I kissed you was it. If I could go back I would change everything. But she became a better person because of how shitty I was. I am the boyfriend Lauryn Hill is talking about. I love you C. Will meet together on the other side love
Brandon Contreras thank you for taking responsibility for your actions and acknowledging the truth not everyone does
Beautiful
The fact that you are recognizing your mistakes, is the begining of your growth as well. I'm loving it.
Nahhh lies
awwwwww! takes a real man!
😓😭💔 “Every time I think we grow you always seem to let me know, it ain’t working.... it ain’t working”
Damn real
Narcissism at its best
Chris Cass can you elaborate please?
Yass, just when you get comfy with them, they come up with something to make you question the relationship
@@jaymanrls A disorder in which a person has an inflated sense of self-importance.
Narcissistic personality disorder is found more commonly in men.
He is playing with her emotions because he believes his feelings are the only feelings of importance. He can never care for anyone other than himself.
"Where were you when i needed you???"... best part of the song
“no ones hurt me more than you, and NO ONE ever will.” i felt that as well!! But God bless y’all, Jesus loves y’all please be saved. i pray y’all find Jesus love❤️😊
It hurts my heart to see that someone thumbs down this soulful and beautiful Song.
Mr. Penmanship
12000 like it 600 dont speaks for its self
dislikes don’t mean shit. this song is a classic and no amount of haters will change that
Baby girl, you listenin to them not me, not even an anthill $$ just bein paidback for callin evil EVIIL $$
Lauren Hill, incomparable till this day and Carlos Santana guitar solo, mind blowing....miss the 90's
Moniska Rod not Carlos Santana on this track
That’s To Zion you’re talking about, but yeah I miss the 90s too.
I think she is the best female lyricist of my generation
Moniska Rod I think you’re talking about Smooth and Maria Maria, which are two great classics as well.
Missing the 90's is real talk
My friend just passed away. They played this at her viewing. I'll always think about her when I listen to this now. I'm so heartbroken. Rest in peace Vianae, I love you ma
💕SWEETIE...MY PRAYERS PEACE & STRENGTH MAY YOUR LOVE ONE R.I
PARADISE 🌷
@@phillipswatson3452 thank you💖
@@kaayglock7784 💕
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Rest In Peace
Should you be sorry for the dead or the living? There is no pain where vianae is God willing. The dead should feel sorry for the living. Especially those living without purpose.
It hits different when you imagine the song is about figuring out how to love yourself, all your iterations, and what it’s like inheriting and healing your own mistakes or trauma. But yeah, relationships too. Regardless- this whole album taught me how to be truly human. I will always love Lauryn Hill.
Man, what a work of genuine heart and soul this record was. How aptly titled it was given Lauryn's subsequent wrestlings with the music industry, government and God, etc. God bless you Lauryn, wherever you are.
+Christopher Johnson this is so true
argee
so true best album ever

DAMN RIGHT
Sitting here alone on thanksgiving so broken hearted 😞. I destroyed my marriage. This songs speaks out exactly what my wife would say. I'm so sad.
it will be okay
Kai Lozano Gods got it dont you worry.
Kai Lozano If you really love her, you'll make it right. Redemption is the greatest emotion my brother
My husband ruined our marriage and I wait patiently for him to understand the damage he has caused and to come back changed. I just put my faith in the creator. And muster up joy everyday until we are reconciled.
Kai Lozano Do what it takes! Humble yourself and dont let up. Wait as long or until she is ready. Go get your wife if you can
my mom and I have a very abusive relationship and we fight everyday, i remember after a beating I heard her voice in my head screaming at me for a whole week, now I cant't sleep after our fights, so I just lay in my bed, but my boyfriend to get me out of there, I'm 14, I hope no child goes through what I went through, this hurts me so much, like if you wish me luck of getting out of this place.
You don't understand the love she has for you keep living you come to appreciate your mother i promise
U on your way out be strong ok
I hear hear you honey
Cedis Sykes You have to understand that not everyone’s mother is like yours. Some of them love their children while other depise them deeply. But you can’t apply yours to everyone’s situation.
Stay safe and make sure you do your part, especially go to school
This song is so powerful and soulful. We need more music like this, more music that you can *_feel_* .
"tell me who I gotta be, to get some reciprocity.
See, no one loves you as much as me,
And no one ever will."
BIG FACTS
"I keep letting you back in..how can I explain myself?" 😩❤
Brooklyn Majesty rightttt
This song hit different when you in a toxic relationship 😩🤦🏾♀️
did you get out of it?
@@helinkorkmaz3793 who knows
This song will forever remind me of the most toxic man I have ever known. Every woman/man that has had their heart and soul ripped out by a narcissist gets this song on a different level 💔 I remember listening this crying one night when the ex was out with yet another woman. everything else he did that followed was beyond soul destroying. Now.. years later it’s a bad chapter but you never forget!
I have cried and healed to this song thinking of my parents who didn't work hard enough to keep me and I lived painfully I would cry to this so hard til my head would hurt I'm in a better place Music heals people
Madi Ami I hope all is well❤️
Pranks By B all is well thank you and likewise sending positive energy for you and yours thank you ❤
Madi Ami your comment made me sad I hope you’re okay now
I pray you're healing continues. This song is beautiful and painful, describes me n my mom relationship
You hurt yourself to make me stay... Damn
I swear to god I was about to post that that's some real shit
Violet Geaux trueeee
Its so deep, us guys would make ourselves seem so weak & start crying(mostly explaining why we are a piece of shit at times). & the woman falls for it because she genuinely loves him & the cycle goes again
I'm going through the same thing now. Damn I can relate
I felt that
Loving you is like a battle...we both end up with scars
Literally
Wow. I now understand the meaning of this song. I was younger when this song came out. Now I'm a grown woman and I get it now.
"see I know what we've got to dooooo... You let go and I'll let go toooo!"
Heck, if I was dating Lauryn Hill, I wouldn't want to let go either!
I just had ta make myself #234 to like this comment;)
You can hear the pain in her voice while listening to this song. You don’t even have to go through anything to understand how painful this song is. Applause Lauryn Hill.

Whew....this song hit..."No one's hurting more than you....you let go and I'll let go too."
Boy oh Boy...that one relationship that made you feel like ending it all. The one where you felt like you couldn't breathe w/out them. Thank you for delivering me God. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Realest part: Where were you when I needed you!!!💔😥🤞❤💯
100% and they cut it from the " official vid"... If you never had the CD you wouldn't know other than coming here I guess
True definition of being in love with a narcissist. Smh We don’t understand songs sometimes until your going through it I always heard the farm but never really listened Songs like this just can’t be wrote you have to go through life experiences to get this deep I love Lauryn💯
So true!!! Thinking about my narcissistic ex as I listen to this. Fits the relationship to the T!
So true about loving a narcissist
The Narcissist she was speaking of was Wyclef...Thats the relationship that fucked her head up...he was twisting her thoughts, had her believing she was crazy...what he did to her mentally, psychologically, and physically is deeply comparable to the crazy shit R.Kelly was doing to Aaliyah...#StockholmSyndrom
💯
@@ishmellnelson5775 this isn’t about Clef tho...
Note to self....never listen to this at work! (Discreetly wipes tears from face)
2019 I'm STILL choking back these damn tears
I'm literally crying at work rn how did u know
This song is a whole 15 rounds with a world heavyweight champion to the emotions.
This has been the soundtrack to my life. The album came out just as I was beginning highschool. What an awful time for me. People were so cruel. I have cried and belted out songs from this album in times of sadness, happiness, my lowest and highest points. I wonder if she realizes how many lives she changed, healed, transformed, and helped with her words and voice.
@@BuNy-jy5cx Yes! I'm a teacher now. I always look out for the kids who are hurting like I was, but don't have the voice yet to speak up. Pain can transform into advocacy and power if we let it. Thanks for your concern :)
This has such deep meaning for so many. Take a moment to listen to her passionate plea. It may be healing to those that have suffered a love/hate relationship.
"And when I try to walk away you hurt yourself to make me stay...this I crazy."
I FELT THAT SO HARD
To those going through it right now in your current relationships..please know better is out there. True love is empowering 🙏
Still hurts me the same every time i listen to this song !! Shit really cuts deep.

I'm telling you!! Hurts so hard

She’s describing a classic narcissistic “relationship “ I only now understand!! Happy 2019 everyone!!
Life too short brother. I hope you've found hapiness.

#facts
Yes I remember listening to this in my teens and I knew what she was saying but couldn't relate, but now I get it all
Facts
I use to sing this song because of my ex. He really never deserved the woman that I am. He did not treat me fairly, kindly, etc. My new boyfriend is way over better than him. My man is so kind, fair to me, sweet, etc. We make each other laugh and smile every single day since we got into a relationship. I wish, hope, and pray that it will always be the same because I don't want to get hurt neither keep my hopes up and get my man hurt neither. I love my man so much cause he can cry a river for me, he cares for me, he is there for me especially he gives me love, loyalty, honesty, and devotion. 🙏🏿😍💖
that's really good that you found someone! God Bless your heart!
The Singing Gamer hows it going love
You'll get a divorce eventually. It's inevitable. Enjoy it while it last.
The Singing Gamer he probably out here cheatin 😂😂
May God bless you and your relationship. Good men are out there.
Craziest part of a toxic person is that you love them, endlessly without limits nor boundaries but they constantly and continuously show you why you shouldn’t, but you physically, mentally & emotionally cannot.
I’m glad my momma raised me with culture and knowing about Lauryn hill ✋✋
2017 ... see no one loves you more than me and no one ever will..
Lotus 713 n
jboutt3
grew up in the 90s... and still listening to this in 2018🖤🦁
Currently in this type of relationship… with a toxic gaslighting narcissistic manipulator… “tell me who I have to be” you should never have to change for anyone.. if you ain’t good for them you can’t make them love you.. I should know… I need out
here in 2021 ... this song will never get old 🖤
Still listening in 2017.... gets deep into my soul 😪
EDIT: Still on listening in 2019 ❤️ (forgot to edit this comment in 2018 😭)
Queen Foreva 2018
Johann Griggs Still listening in 2018 🤗
Yes!
Queen forever

Deepest song ever!!! Repeat, repeat , repeat
Miss Shannon Lee
Repeat repeat repeat
Then repeat again
Sad when you think of yourself when listening to this song. No toxic relationship, but yourself vs you.
This the exact words of a trauma bond... It stings on so many levels... "Why wont you live for... You said youd die for me... Where were you when i needed you??" Lordt the real is just that
Loving you is like a battle and both end up with scars ....I felt that
As painful as this thing has been I just cant be with no one else I felt that in my soul 🤦♂️🗣🗣🗣
