    brotha, this song explains everything a female needs to know. domestic violence isn't a joke. I was in a relationship with someone that was put through that, and it was so hard for her to trust and be happy. if only I could have shown her this song before she walked out and left because of the stuff she's been through.
    Keep on chasing your dreams brotha, you'll make wherever you want whenever you sing the truth!!

    I'm in the process of adopting a 5 yr old wonderful little girl that was sexually abused by her biological mother and her father more her biological mother but the father didn't stop it (she has lived with me for a year) and this is our song we play it turned all the way up over and over in the car and at home. she knows every word and sings along every time. it has actually helped her a lot with her speech she was very delayed due to the trauma she has endured and singing has brought her so far. for 6 months after I got her no one could understand her now 5 months of listening to this song daily and singing your songs everyone can understand her! every time we listen to this song she says you're the best mommy I ever had and i love you through the whole universe! she melts my heart and I wanted to thank you Taylor Ray because that little girl loves all of your songs and of course I do too! It's definitely made going through horrible court dates every 2 months worth it all to see the smile on her face after singing our hearts out to your song! our adoption will be final by Sept 2017!!!

    “What did he say, what did he do, why don’t you put it on me what he put you through?”
    this lyric hits me the hardest, someone actually WANTS to hear my story. its empowering especially for young girls like me who were in relationships with violent partners from as young as 14. thank you

Your words are encouraging others to BREAK THE SILENCE. My hats off to you, I love you guys, and your always in my prayers. GOD BLESS

    I was a victim of abuse twice. I’m a boy though. So I had a abusive father who would abuse me and my mother. He was on drugs and drank sometimes. He would beat me and my mother. When he beat my mother he did it right in front of me and this went on for four years. Finally my mother divorced him. The second time was when I was with my ex. I loved her dearly. But she changed out of nowhere. As soon as I met her brother she became abusive. She wasn’t a normal girl either. She play a lot of sports. She beat me up and her brother would come over and do the same. I broke up with her and found somebody new and we got married and had a kid. Then she was tragically killed in a car accident. I have been diagnosed with PTSD, Anxiety, and depression. I am currently taking therapy and am getting better. And I hope nobody else will ever have to go through what I went through.

    I'm from a small town in N.C and my Mama and Grandpa were killed 5 years ago by her husband. My grandpa was wheelchair bound and in the bed and had no way of defending himself. My Mama was his caregiver. On the night she was finally ready to tell her husband to hit the road for good, he snapped. She was abused by him for 15 years or more. The only thing that me and her ever argued about WAS HIM. I witnessed him attacking her more than once as a kid and teenager and could never understand why she would just let him right back in. This has been the hardest 5 years of my life. This rocked our family and I try to share her story with people that I know are being abused in hopes of helping at least one, but these people are so mentally torn down that they feel like no one else can love them. I wish it was as easy as just hearing a song to wake people up. They don't realize how many people are affected if their abuser kills them.

      I'm so sorry to read this! It is so hard. Power control is real to the name. Power. Even if they know (which you're right many think no one will be there.) they can be loved. They are exactly that so torn down emotionally , mentally , physically , and don't even realize until you're out. The difference between real reailty and what was once thought to be reailty. 16.5 years of emontial abuse. Manipulation, gas lighting , power control, and more. I'm free now and couldn't be happier. And in those I was still me but at the same wasn't fully me. So hard to explain. Why it is so hard to spot sometimes. Prayers for healing to you and all affected. Keeping sharing her story and hold the good memories close. ❤❤

    I went through a dv relationship, my current bf (bless his heart) sung this to me and I broke down crying. No one deserves to be treated poorly and learning to trust again after a dv relationship is beyond difficult. This song embodies every feel that comes with starting over and feeling safe again. ❤️

    Taylor, thank you for this song. I was abused by family members and by boyfriends, by the age of 15 I was a wreck. I would flinch anytime someone even looked at me. I prided myself on my ability to “disappear” and just blend in so no one noticed me. I refused to date because I thought I was too broken for any man. I listened to this song for years as a way to cope and remind myself that there are men out there who are patient and willing to wait until I’m ready. Well… I’ve found that man. He’s incredibly patient, loving, understanding, he’s amazing at communicating, and he’s the healthiest- most non toxic- person I’ve ever been around in my entire life. I came back to this song today and instantly smiled. This song had given me a hope I once lost, so thank you

      I promise you it does get better. It's hard at first but it does get better. Make sure you are safe. He will say whatever it takes to get you to come back but then it will all happen again . One thing I learned is if he got away with it once he will do it again cuz he knows you will put up with it and accept it. Idk how bad it's gotten but make sure you have friends that you can tell the situation to so there's a record of it. I was embarrassed to tell but there's nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed of. The shame and embarrassment is on him not you. Please be safe. I promise there is someone out there who won't treat you like an animal and hurt you. Theres someone who will love everything you thought was a flaw or that he said was ugly every little thing about you they will love. You deserve to be happy just like anyone else does I've found happiness and even tho I'm single I'm.happy. I'm.alive . That's what matters.

I don’t know how or what to do but at least I’m not blind anymore from all the lies and belittling of everything that has happened to me…. Thank you from the bottom of my heart I hope you see this and know you should be getting the highest award for your talent and kindness to bring awareness to this it’s happening way to much to people who don’t know how to leave when they have nothing…. I’ve never been treated right by any man, but the voice of a man in this song for the people everywhere it’s sad to say you get to treat billions of people right by recording this hit…. Everyone hater or not need to like this share it check on your loved ones because you never know I have hid it for too long…. Anyone who needs a person to talk to email me ashleykay9799@gmail.com please no hate I’m taking a chance for the people who really need help or even if it’s one person anonymous email who wants to talk or needs to I’m here just like Taylor ray is for his fans by caring enough to come out with this I hope this reaches everyone it needs too…. Thanks again Taylor hope you get to see this and feel proud….

    Someone amazing and that means ooh so Damn much to me showed me this song, he is just my friend right now but I pray to God one day he Will be ooh so much more, I feel that I might have fallin deeply in love with him, and that scares me but also feels absolutely amazing because I haven't ever felt like I would love in the way I am feeling for him.. My daughter n I are survivors of a terrible horrific abusive situation. I let it go on for years being afraid he would actually kill me, and when I finally decided to walk, he literally tried and just about hands down succeeded... This song and this more than wonderful man has made my life so worth living.. I haven't been able to stop smiling or dancing since he showed me this, at so many times I thought I was going to give up for I couldn't stand the thought of living anymore but because of him and this song , I've decided my life is worth living..and that I deserved to be truly for once happy.. All I wanna say is NEVER give up y'all their will be a day when the only tears you will shed are them happy tears n the only fear you will know is loosing the one that means the most to you in this whole world, if I can make it so can y'all.. Thank you my hopefully future hubby Hehee, and Taylor for all the inspiration you have given me and my lil girl, it will never go un forgotten.. Much love forever.. This survivor

    Taylor, I just wanted to thank you so much for coming out with a song that has a cause n so much meaning for so many people. I myself am a victim of domestic abuse so hearing this song and your music has helped alot. I love ur music and I don't think there's a track I've heard on utube yet that I haven't like or couldn't relate to in ur music n I love ur voice its amazing n one of a kind but the way you can change ur voice like in "tie me down" it's just crazy. I've been n delt music my entire life n I thank the lord above everyday BC without music there's times idk how I would have survived I've always enjoyed singing n wanted to sing but a thats just not really possible for me since I had to have a emergency surgery when I was younger m they had to burn my throat n vocal cords to get the bleeding to stop. So big dreams of being a country star from Iowa didint quite turn out as planed but I had major stage fright to sing alone I was OK as long as I wasn't solo lol. I really hope you get this n get to read it and reply somehow. Ive never left a comment before so not sure how this works!! Music4Life one of ur biggest fans Valerie Ann Johnson or Lucky Angel

    @celestialunenburg ปีที่แล้ว

    I was verbally and occasionally physically abused by my grandparents. They always hated me bc I was exactly like my mom, physically and mentally, and they hated the fact that my baby sister saw me as her mom instead of my grandmother. I always did my best to keep my brother and sister from seeing or hearing it, but it didn't always work. Bc of this, combined with them already gaslighting me into believing that its only rape if penitration is made at 6, i didn't say anything when I was SAd by one of my older cousins. I'm still healing from the pain and trauma I endured from them but I'm doing better. I just wish I didn't need to heal. I don't wish any of what I went through on anyone. Everyone please keep in mind that if you wouldn't do or say it to a partner or friend, you shouldn't do or say it to a child
