This reminds me of my friend Brenden. He recently killed himself. We could relate to eachother, he had depression and anxiety, PTSD, etc. And so did I. When we felt we needed to talk to someone, we'd turn to each other. Because none of our other friends did. We were both really inspiring to each other but we didn't follow our own advice. He only texted me the night he killed himself. I was busy. He said goodbye and I didn't answer, I didn't stop him. And I hate myself. So, so much. Brenden was the only person I was living for. But he also included in his text that he loved me, and to just try. It'd get better for me. I still text hi and chat with him on social media. He never answers but in a way it comforts me. I miss him. I'm doing worse now that he's gone. But I remember his words. It's so hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember. He told me I was awesome and to never forget him. I never will. I just hope I can live up to what Brenden thought I was...
Ive been here since the start and i have you say you've grown immensely as a human and an artist. You music is not only relatable but it gives you mega feels. I love you so much Anna. Keep growing.
*Lyrics* (I'm not sure if it's entirely correct. It's the best I could hear :) The scariest place that I've ever been Is in my own head around 2am The room it will spin and I'll feel sick My chest it will heave and I cannot breathe I'm panicking, frantically, so depressed, manically Pop a few pills to maybe do the trick Cause no amount of music can cover the screams No television shows can hide the voices it seems I’m sitting in my bed with my hands over my head Wishing this was all just a dream (x2) Silence is the loudest thing that’s ever filled my head The voices telling, yelling at me ‘I should be dead’ Silence is the loudest thing that’s ever filled my head When’s it gonna stop? ‘Never’ they said ‘You’re better off dead’ If someone put a gun on my head I’d gladly pull the trigger Cause when you’re already dead inside There’s nothing else to live for You’d be doing me a favour Literally blowing my mind By showing me a piece of what's on the inside A mess I must confess a little bit twisted Yes I get it, I’ll admit it I’m just a little bit weird Oh dear but In this day and age aren’t we all a little bit strange And the voices we are all starting to hear (x2) Silence is the loudest thing that’s ever filled my head The voices telling, yelling at me ‘I should be dead’ Silence is the loudest thing that’s ever filled my head When’s it gonna stop? ‘Never’ they said ‘You’re better off dead’ They say jump from that window sill We won’t catch you but the ground will Jump from that window sill We won't catch you but the ground will (x2)
Tiffany L "If someone placed a gun on my head" "if someone put a gun on my head" i could be wrong - English is not my first language (: Thx for writing the lyrics down ! (:
❤❤💯💯😓😓 Im a suicide attempt survivor, from more than once. I'm here for a reason and so are you. Yes I'm still fighting the fight from my past issues, but I'm not going to let it win!
Dearest Anna, It's going to be okay. Please take care of yourself. You are such a special and sweet young lady. You've inspired so many people with the music that you write. I love that music is so incredible that it can transfer the messages that we won't dare confess if it were just words with no melody. God is always with you girl. Never forget that. You are for one, not worthless. One day someone is going to collect all of your broken pieces and restore the ones that you think won't ever be restored. Never loose faith. We will never loose faith in you. Because you are still here. Because you still wake up every morning, because you hold yourself up when you walk. Because you still care for us. And because you never lost faith in us, we will never loose faith in you. I can't wait to hear good things from you. You are strong Anna, you're amazing. Please treasure this message in your heart. Please. We love you, Anna. X's and O's, Adriana
about 44 years ago satan lured me up onto a high place and told me to jump, "I'd be better off dead". in the silence I heard another voice saying I love you. that voice saved me, gave me life abundantly. I'm 60 now, since then I've lived the ups and downs and with each down that voice of love was there to save me. every time, never failing. this song gave pause to stop reflect and give thanks to Jesus for His voice of love. thank you for your song I needed to thank Him again.
Anna, I hope you read this comment.. I JUST TODAY saw a video of your "got talentL performance. You are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. You have a look about you that is just gorgeous. Not only that, but your voice sounds like a goddess.. that's says a lot coming from me because I don't even like this type of music (country boy). I UNDERSTAND ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION: 1 year ago I had a gun pointed at my head, in my own hand. My best friend called me, and I answered. She knows me too well lol, she hear cracks in my voice even though I tried to hide it. I hung up, and she found me because she knows where I go to think (river near my home). My best friend saved me. Best friends since we were 6... I am telling you that to let you know that I understand anxiety and depression. You are incredible. All of that said, you're voice is so unique. The way you sing is just- different. It's like you're KIND OF "rapping", but you're singing. It's so awesome! Plus, to add to that, your voice sounds like what I imagine an angel's would. God you're beautiful. I just wanted to make your day, if you read this :)
babygirl, is everything ok? I feel like its not. its a beautiful song, but you've been doing so Much better and I would hate to see you going back to the past. remember we are all Here for you. we support you through everything. I love you, again, it might just be a misunderstanding, but we love you and stay strong.💕
this song touches to close to home for me ive been dying for around 11 years now there isn't anything the doctors can do to save or take my pain away. I live every day in pure pain every day I have that voice in my head telling everyone would be better off if I dye already. I have fought to stay alive for so long but lately the depression has really hit me im tired of worry about the bill and who will take care of my family all the time and that voice is always was there I try to fight it off all the time but im not sure how much more I can take.
Its just that I am patient of severe depression and on meds for 20 years or so since almost school days. You can never imagine how much pain is there associated with depression. But u r not alone in the fight. Be strong. I have a faith and i believe in AlMighty. I am blessed to be aliive and better than many #AnnasMoment #BeStrong
You bring me to tears I haven't left my house in 3months I had to quite school at 13 I'm iscolated and questioning life With severe social anxiety and depression The anxiety is what kills me Your story on the xfactor made me cry so much You are a beautiful human being I wish you could possibly save me We've gone through the same thing I hate myself for social anxiety I never talk-I'm scared of people Despite your achievements I feel your own heart pounding in your chest as mine does in a daily basis I love you I need to give you a hug I need to talk to you some how
Honestly, I love this song so much. I can relate to a lot of this :(( But I really appreciate how you put suicide hotline in the description. one thing I find that helps me get through some really tough things is thinking about how I haven't lived the best days of my life. I will someday be married and have kids of my own and be happy and hopefully financially stable and right now is just a bad nightmare that I can't quite wake up from. ilysm and I hope you have an amazing day💕💕😘
Alexis Renton hang in there guys. There are better days ahead. Its so good that more youtubers are speaking out about their struggles with things like depression and how they have now found the light at other end of the tunnel 💕
I keep thinking, how is this beautiful girl with an outstanding voice not famous yet? Like, why haven't I heard her on the radio. I love your songs Anna!
I have just sat here and listened to most of your songs and I can honestly say The songs you sing i can relate to and that i know I'm not the only one going through this, you've really helped me just by sitting here listening to your songs! It actually made me cry and i don't cry that often. I have OCD which is a form of anxiety my parents are disappointed in me and i can tell they are. I'm 19 still at home with no job. No matter how much i try to explain its hard for me my parents just shout, they talk about my brother more because he is the one who has moved out and is getting engaged and has a kid. But I'm here with nothing... They don't talk about me to there friends I just feel like a nobody sometimes. But your songs have made me feel like I'm not the only one going through this and it will get better so Thank you so much! Keep doing what you do because your amazing!
Update: I'm much better I have a job I have a lovely boyfriend I'm out of that dark place! So if anyone is reading this and you feel like I did it will get better! Just hold in there you can do it ♥️
I am a suicide attempt survivor and I am so thankful for your music, I have always been insecure about myself and have never thought I was worth it. Now I am in counseling and working on myself. Anna Clendening, you have saved me and I will always remember and appreciate that. Thank You so much
I believe the integrity of communication resides in the emotive honesty of the artist. I, as one, would also acknowledge the inherent beauty of art is the medium of its deliverance. Anna, if I may be so bold, you achieve dominance of the more chaotic aspects of existence with this composition
Anna, you are biggest inspiration. Im 14 i have too many probelms and when i first found your music i was sitting on the floor of my room and cried. Your music moves me, its touches my heart and it speaks the truth. I love to sing, and i love to write songs but when i do it never comes out right. Thanks for being the voice i never had 💜
I just wanna say, your lyrics brought tears to my eyes. I've been dealing with GAD and MDD for the past couple years and I just got out of the Air Force last month after serving since I was 18, and just feel lost sometimes... The worst part about seeing others struggle with these disorders is wanting to find the right words to make everything better, but knowing that there really isn't anything that can make it go away. Just know that you are understood. Your feelings are valid. You have real value, and people (like me) have been affected in a positive way by your talent, your personality, and who you are as a person. Keep making great music :-)
Anna you have given me some of the most important songs in my life, this now added to the list. So many of your songs I relate to so very well and you have helped by giving me your amazing music. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Anna, You have saved so many people with your music, I love you so much. You are so strong, and i love your story. Your music strengthens me, and it touches my heart. Thank you so much for what you do. Please don't ever stop, your voice is pure, and your heart is amazing.
This is definitely one of my favorites so far. I love how all of your songs are so relatable. very deep. I can't wait until I see you win Grammys on tv
This song hit me hard... I try to keep myself strong, but sometimes I just can't handle all this s**t. But music keeps me here on the ground. You can listen to music whenever you want. And friends just don't want to listen to me. Thank you so much for this song Anna!
I found your channel after wiping tears from my eyes from your got talent audition. I'm so glad you're still doing music. You give me hope that I'll be okay someday.
Anna thank you so much you have helped me a lot through this past year. This past year I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety and just watching your videos has brought me out of the deep dark hole in was in and I thank you for that. And I love you and your work.
Anna, the honesty and emotion that goes into your music penetrates to the innermost depths of my soul. Only a tiny handful of performers have that effect on me. You have now joined that very exclusive club. Thank you for having the courage to delve into the darker elements of the human mind and translate that into lyrics. This song hits me with the same sort of impact I feel when listening to Johnny Cash perform "Hurt". Please keep writing and performing. You have a natural, God-given ability to emotionally connect with others through song. Today's music industry is sorely in need of performers like you. Not only can you sing, but you can relate to people on a personal level and make them feel "something". That is the hallmark of a true artist.
Anna you have no idea how much you influence me to write more songs. I never knew what to write but the minute I hear your songs it just flows out of me. Thank you.❤️
I just found your channel and I have been listening to only your stuff for like three days now. I wish I found this last year when I really needed your music but it still helps me thank you. you are definitely meant to be heard. and here. so glad you got into music...
what a beautiful song ... you're touching my heart with your music ... yesterday i first listened to this song and had finally been able to let my tears flow ... thank you for creating such a beautiful song i love you for making me cry after such a long period of no feelings at all
Beautifully raw, love how it actually has a greater meaning (unlike the many mainstream songs these days). Keep it up Anna you have an amazing voice, hoping you start getting more attention because you deserve it!
This song is why I love her so much. Everything she creates feels like it comes straight from her soul. It is incredibly brave, and know that your music helps people.
@anna Thank you for your beautiful words and strength. I struggled a long time and now I feel I’m getting better. I think your beautiful words have helped in some way. I will continue to support you keep up the good work
This song is exactly how I feel.... But when you sing it, it makes me feel slightly better knowing I'm not the only one in this world that feels this way...
Unbelievably inspiring, touching...singing, healing. Thank you for your courage in your sharing through music; so much darkness misunderstood and so much beauty in the song. That is the light, you are a light, helping others to see and be. Grateful for you.
i truly feel this. I've had feelings like this. I saw you going on the stage talking about your story. I get it. I commend you, more than anything. You have, what I want to get, and with you, you have inspired me to fight harder. Thank you.
A song from the heart.Absolutely amazing Deep meaningful and with truth More people need to be like you and tell there story, with music or words or poems etc people need to understand people need to learn and people need to listen sometimes it's the smallest of words or actions that can save a life mental illnesses should never be ashamed of.Iv been there and understand.Keep up the good work! (All the way from Glasgow Scotland)
I'm so happy you finally got to finish and put out this song. I remember when you first posted a little part of it and I was instantly in love! Thank you so much you've touched my life in such a positive way!
This is very relatable. We have Dissociative Identity Disorder. It can be very difficult and iscolating. Thank you for releasing works of art like this, and putting the hotline in the description.
Thank you for being you and being real. As a songwriter, i find that i'm often afraid to write about the things that really hurt because i'm afraid to acknowledge them. But this is so beautiful and you are such an inspiration. It's all going to get better someday.
Wow. This song made me cry, and I rarely ever cry to music, but wow. I have felt this way so many times before, and it just, WOW. When I first heard a snippet of this song on Twitter I felt it on a personal level, and I am even more amazed by the final product. 💞💞
I just wanted to say that you are honestly one of the most inspirational people I think I've ever heard of. I suffer from anxiety disorder and depression as well and I'm going through a bit of a low point currently, but reading about and watching your performances has just spoken to me so much more than anything anyone could have said to me. I just wanted to let you know that you really are getting through to people with what you're doing and to just keep it up. Thank you 🙂
Anna, you are a wonderful artist, a beautiful girl and I think you are an inspiration to a lot of people, Please don't stop doing what you are doing, we love you
can honestly relate to this song. I've suffered from depression and anxiety throughout my life and what made it worse is that I never found a way to express it , thank u for this
This song was deep, it really hit ne hard. Its so relatable. Suffered from depression for almost 2years, and i've been wanting to die. But damn Anna you just have showed me that im not alone. This was amazing
That was amazing. You touched my heart so much and made it so personal. It's sad to know people feel this way, because we're all awesome in our own way. Beautiful song ♡Anna ♡
Anna... For first: I'm very sorry for my english... i'm not perfect in this language... Please, forgive me... My dad is listening to you from 1-2 months... You have really sensational voice, you are very pretty girl, but I don't want to do something with you. I'm imagine you as my sister, you had similar problems like mine I'm really with you Anna.
Hi, i'm lily THANK YOU.. you've helped me so much to find myself your voice is so beautiful i'm so happy i found your songs.. Your amazing keep singing your so talented.. You've shown me it's okay to be myself and to keep pushing thru the hard times..ILYYYY
"Jump from the windowsill. We won't catch you but the ground will." That hits really deep. They're thoughts I have sometimes and I feel less of a "crazy" person(that's what I am called) knowing I'm not the only one with such thoughts. It's true that my mind is a scary place. But Your music brings light to me and I thank you so much for caring about mental health because no one really believes that your head can't get sick or how dangerous it is.
"If you ever feel like it's too much, it's not. There will be better and brighter days my dear" - Anna Clendening
She is so amazing
I am 47 years old. I had a breakdown when I was 39. Listening to Anna is like having a big safe warm hug from a friend. Thank you, thank you Anna.
my eyes are sweating
This reminds me of my friend Brenden. He recently killed himself. We could relate to eachother, he had depression and anxiety, PTSD, etc. And so did I. When we felt we needed to talk to someone, we'd turn to each other. Because none of our other friends did. We were both really inspiring to each other but we didn't follow our own advice. He only texted me the night he killed himself. I was busy. He said goodbye and I didn't answer, I didn't stop him. And I hate myself. So, so much. Brenden was the only person I was living for. But he also included in his text that he loved me, and to just try. It'd get better for me. I still text hi and chat with him on social media. He never answers but in a way it comforts me. I miss him. I'm doing worse now that he's gone. But I remember his words. It's so hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember. He told me I was awesome and to never forget him. I never will. I just hope I can live up to what Brenden thought I was...
Ive been here since the start and i have you say you've grown immensely as a human and an artist. You music is not only relatable but it gives you mega feels. I love you so much Anna. Keep growing.
*Lyrics* (I'm not sure if it's entirely correct. It's the best I could hear :)
The scariest place that I've ever been
Is in my own head around 2am
The room it will spin and I'll feel sick
My chest it will heave and I cannot breathe
I'm panicking, frantically, so depressed, manically
Pop a few pills to maybe do the trick
Cause no amount of music can cover the screams
No television shows can hide the voices it seems
I’m sitting in my bed with my hands over my head
Wishing this was all just a dream (x2)
Silence is the loudest thing that’s ever filled my head
The voices telling, yelling at me ‘I should be dead’
Silence is the loudest thing that’s ever filled my head
When’s it gonna stop?
‘Never’ they said
‘You’re better off dead’
If someone put a gun on my head
I’d gladly pull the trigger
Cause when you’re already dead inside
There’s nothing else to live for
You’d be doing me a favour
Literally blowing my mind
By showing me a piece of what's on the inside
A mess I must confess a little bit twisted
Yes I get it, I’ll admit it
I’m just a little bit weird
Oh dear but
In this day and age aren’t we all a little bit strange
And the voices we are all starting to hear (x2)
Silence is the loudest thing that’s ever filled my head
The voices telling, yelling at me ‘I should be dead’
Silence is the loudest thing that’s ever filled my head
When’s it gonna stop?
‘Never’ they said
‘You’re better off dead’
They say jump from that window sill
We won’t catch you but the ground will
Jump from that window sill
We won't catch you but the ground will (x2)
Tiffany L thank you
Tiffany L its perfect, thank you
Tiffany L a piece of what's on the inside*
Taylor LaFriniere Thanks for correction c:

Thx for writing the lyrics down ! (:
As someone who lost a best friend to suicide, this hit me hard.
Beautiful song Anna. Thank you for sharing a piece of yourself with us.
think about how she'll feel, would she want you to be sad? celebrate her life instead of mourning over her death
kloe crystal some days it is still really hard but you are so right 😊 thank you
its ok, stay strong :)
Its like she singing the words my heart feels, wow ive been numb for ages but this made me feel something
❤❤💯💯😓😓 Im a suicide attempt survivor, from more than once. I'm here for a reason and so are you. Yes I'm still fighting the fight from my past issues, but I'm not going to let it win!
Nicole Chapman Best wishes to you.
Nicole Chapman you're so strong
Nicole Chapman your so strong it will get better I promise x
Nicole Chapman stay strong and keep your head up princess your tiara will fall❤️💍👑
May God bless your soul
I don't know how you do it, but that perfectly describes anxiety and depression. That was beautiful. Thank you.
Dearest Anna,
It's going to be okay. Please take care of yourself. You are such a special and sweet young lady. You've inspired so many people with the music that you write. I love that music is so incredible that it can transfer the messages that we won't dare confess if it were just words with no melody. God is always with you girl. Never forget that. You are for one, not worthless. One day someone is going to collect all of your broken pieces and restore the ones that you think won't ever be restored. Never loose faith. We will never loose faith in you. Because you are still here. Because you still wake up every morning, because you hold yourself up when you walk. Because you still care for us. And because you never lost faith in us, we will never loose faith in you. I can't wait to hear good things from you. You are strong Anna, you're amazing. Please treasure this message in your heart. Please. We love you, Anna.
X's and O's,
Adriana
I really wish this was on Spotify. It’s one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard, so much truth. 💗
I know - I saw this when the video came out but I NEED IT on Apple Music rn
about 44 years ago satan lured me up onto a high place and told me to jump, "I'd be better off dead". in the silence I heard another voice saying I love you. that voice saved me, gave me life abundantly. I'm 60 now, since then I've lived the ups and downs and with each down that voice of love was there to save me. every time, never failing. this song gave pause to stop reflect and give thanks to Jesus for His voice of love. thank you for your song I needed to thank Him again.

Ken Means wow that's sad.. I don't know how to respond to that, I hope you at least feel better and enjoy all the good in life 💘
Thank you
Its just that I am patient of severe depression and on meds for 20 years or so since almost school days. You can never imagine how much pain is there associated with depression. But u r not alone in the fight. Be strong. I have a faith and i believe in AlMighty. I am blessed to be aliive and better than many #AnnasMoment #BeStrong
You bring me to tears
I haven't left my house in 3months
I had to quite school at 13
I'm iscolated and questioning life
With severe social anxiety and depression
The anxiety is what kills me
Your story on the xfactor made me cry so much
You are a beautiful human being
I wish you could possibly save me
We've gone through the same thing
I hate myself for social anxiety
I never talk-I'm scared of people
Despite your achievements I feel your own heart pounding in your chest as mine does in a daily basis
I love you
I need to give you a hug
I need to talk to you some how
How blessed are we to have such a beautiful human to inspire us everyday anna❤️

This is definitely one of my favorites so far. I love how all of your songs are so relatable. very deep. I can't wait until I see you win Grammys on tv
This song hit me hard... I try to keep myself strong, but sometimes I just can't handle all this s**t. But music keeps me here on the ground. You can listen to music whenever you want. And friends just don't want to listen to me. Thank you so much for this song Anna!
holy fuck, sad song, but this is so beautifully written, I wish she was writing the songs on the radio rather than what we have!
This song plays over and over in my head.
I found your channel after wiping tears from my eyes from your got talent audition. I'm so glad you're still doing music. You give me hope that I'll be okay someday.
Anna thank you so much you have helped me a lot through this past year. This past year I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety and just watching your videos has brought me out of the deep dark hole in was in and I thank you for that. And I love you and your work.
Anna, the honesty and emotion that goes into your music penetrates to the innermost depths of my soul. Only a tiny handful of performers have that effect on me. You have now joined that very exclusive club. Thank you for having the courage to delve into the darker elements of the human mind and translate that into lyrics. This song hits me with the same sort of impact I feel when listening to Johnny Cash perform "Hurt". Please keep writing and performing. You have a natural, God-given ability to emotionally connect with others through song. Today's music industry is sorely in need of performers like you. Not only can you sing, but you can relate to people on a personal level and make them feel "something". That is the hallmark of a true artist.
Anna you have no idea how much you influence me to write more songs. I never knew what to write but the minute I hear your songs it just flows out of me. Thank you.❤️
I've now replayed this 4 times... it shakes me to my very core when I realised just how much I relate to this... Astonishing work Anna.
I just found your channel and I have been listening to only your stuff for like three days now. I wish I found this last year when I really needed your music but it still helps me thank you. you are definitely meant to be heard. and here. so glad you got into music...
Anna the words can't express how much that you mean for us and how much do you help us and how much we love you I can't say any thing but thanks
Anna i love you so much i have been watching you for about a year now and i love your music. It relates so much to me.............
what a beautiful song ... you're touching my heart with your music ... yesterday i first listened to this song and had finally been able to let my tears flow ... thank you for creating such a beautiful song i love you for making me cry after such a long period of no feelings at all
Beautifully raw, love how it actually has a greater meaning (unlike the many mainstream songs these days). Keep it up Anna you have an amazing voice, hoping you start getting more attention because you deserve it!
This song is why I love her so much. Everything she creates feels like it comes straight from her soul. It is incredibly brave, and know that your music helps people.
@anna
Thank you for your beautiful words and strength. I struggled a long time and now I feel I’m getting better. I think your beautiful words have helped in some way. I will continue to support you keep up the good work
I don't think lyrics have ever hit me so hard as these do right now.
This song is exactly how I feel.... But when you sing it, it makes me feel slightly better knowing I'm not the only one in this world that feels this way...

Unbelievably inspiring, touching...singing, healing. Thank you for your courage in your sharing through music; so much darkness misunderstood and so much beauty in the song. That is the light, you are a light, helping others to see and be. Grateful for you.

I'm so happy you finally got to finish and put out this song. I remember when you first posted a little part of it and I was instantly in love! Thank you so much you've touched my life in such a positive way!
I looked for this song for a long time, something made up of the words I bottle up and the things I feel inside, thank you Anna you're the best
A true hope is that u know at the core of all ur struggles that u r a goddess a rarity and beautiful
This is very relatable. We have Dissociative Identity Disorder. It can be very difficult and iscolating. Thank you for releasing works of art like this, and putting the hotline in the description.
Without doubt a beautiful yet dark song. Awesome song Anna. Love and Hugs from England.xox
Thank you for being you and being real. As a songwriter, i find that i'm often afraid to write about the things that really hurt because i'm afraid to acknowledge them. But this is so beautiful and you are such an inspiration. It's all going to get better someday.
Wow. This song made me cry, and I rarely ever cry to music, but wow. I have felt this way so many times before, and it just, WOW. When I first heard a snippet of this song on Twitter I felt it on a personal level, and I am even more amazed by the final product. 💞💞
I just wanted to say that you are honestly one of the most inspirational people I think I've ever heard of. I suffer from anxiety disorder and depression as well and I'm going through a bit of a low point currently, but reading about and watching your performances has just spoken to me so much more than anything anyone could have said to me. I just wanted to let you know that you really are getting through to people with what you're doing and to just keep it up. Thank you 🙂
Anna thank you so much for sharing this as with all of your personal songs xx
Anna, you are a wonderful artist, a beautiful girl and I think you are an inspiration to a lot of people, Please don't stop doing what you are doing, we love you
I think this is your best song! Pure emotion, pure truth, pure gold.
she understands our feelings so much. she deserves more recognition than this. i love her so much 💘💘💘
can honestly relate to this song. I've suffered from depression and anxiety throughout my life and what made it worse is that I never found a way to express it , thank u for this

This song was deep, it really hit ne hard. Its so relatable. Suffered from depression for almost 2years, and i've been wanting to die. But damn Anna you just have showed me that im not alone. This was amazing
That was amazing. You touched my heart so much and made it so personal. It's sad to know people feel this way, because we're all awesome in our own way. Beautiful song
♡Anna ♡
Your lyrics are always so real.. this is what's going to get you loved by so many (more than you are already).
This song resonates with me.
Anna... For first: I'm very sorry for my english... i'm not perfect in this language... Please, forgive me... My dad is listening to you from 1-2 months... You have really sensational voice, you are very pretty girl, but I don't want to do something with you. I'm imagine you as my sister, you had similar problems like mine I'm really with you Anna.
Lesandi nie spodziewałem się ciebie tutaj!
Hi, i'm lily THANK YOU.. you've helped me so much to find myself your voice is so beautiful i'm so happy i found your songs.. Your amazing keep singing your so talented.. You've shown me it's okay to be myself and to keep pushing thru the hard times..ILYYYY
I'm happy you released this. It related to my brother he said you change him, and me too. your so amazing your voice is amazing!
Great song! Felt like this 10 years ago...thumbs up
Watching 13 reasons why and then listening to this sends you to a new place 😯😮truly amazing Anna 👌
Omg I accidentally clicked this and instantly got goosebumps
Thank you for continuously melting my heart!
"Jump from the windowsill. We won't catch you but the ground will." That hits really deep. They're thoughts I have sometimes and I feel less of a "crazy" person(that's what I am called) knowing I'm not the only one with such thoughts. It's true that my mind is a scary place. But Your music brings light to me and I thank you so much for caring about mental health because no one really believes that your head can't get sick or how dangerous it is.
anna please write more songs like this they help me feel better iv been at the end of the rope and this song inspired me to come back ♡
This brought tears to my eyes. Such a beautiful voice singing such a painful song😭💔
this is beautiful
