Lyrics:
She was 19 with a baby on the way
On the East-side of the city, she was working every day
Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake
She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change
And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night
To a one-bedroom apartment, and when she'd turn on the light
She would sit down at the table, tell herself that it's alright
She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive
She'd never be alone
Have someone to hold
And when nights were cold
She'd say
The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
If we got each other, and that's all we have
I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
You should know I'll be there for you
When the world's not perfect
When the world's not kind
If we have each other, then we'll both be fine
I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
You should know I'll be there for you
They were 90 and were living out their days
On the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged
They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made
And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed
With each other, and though some times were hard
Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart
No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car
But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart
Even at the end
Their love was stronger than
The day that they first met
They'd say
The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
If we got each other, and that's all we have
I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand
You should know I'll be there for you
When the world's not perfect
When the world's not kind
If we have each other, then we'll both be fine
I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand
You should know I'll be there for you
You should know I'll be there for you
I'm 23, and my folks are getting old
I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone
So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight
When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived
I know she'd never leave me and I hate to see her cry
So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
I wrote 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 will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand
You should know I'll be there for you
When the world's not perfect
When the world's not kind
If we have each other, then we'll both be fine
I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand
You should know I'll be there for you
You should know I'll be there for you

He is rare like diamond that is hidden under the stones. Not everyone can find the real diamond thats why he is underrated.

No. He is *both*.
I had a twin in the womb with me and she didn't make it so I sing this song to myself sometimes to remind myself that she's always with me...
I don't know why I'm crying, but I feel like I'm missing something😔🙁💔

OMG NO WAY

Assasain Wolf lol that's kewl :)
Why are you so underrated?! Your SO much better than most of the famous singers out there
Cheslie people like Taylor swift and Sharon fucking menses basterd
Ufff true he is way better😭
I agree!!
Honestly, I don't think it's necessarily a simplistic artist vs artist comparison like you're implying.
For one thing, Benjamin writes the music he preforms. Most of the artists you're talking about, don't. That's why most of the more popular music sounds alike. It's written by... like 3 different people. And that's the music for about... 40+ popular artists.
These people pump out songs all day cuz that's their job, not that they aren't good at it but... it's their job to make music for the masses to bring in money, not something interesting, emotional and thought provoking.
IKR
This song is beautiful, I love Alec for showing his sister how much he cares for her in his songs
God bless
I love this
He’s not just a singer, he’s a storyteller
Lol fr
Agree
I saw this comment before
He's both
MY FAVERAOUTE SONG
HE WROTE FOR HIS SISTER AW
I LOVE THIS SONG
AND ALEC'S MUSIC LIKE LOADS NOW
LIKE ON A LEVEL DAYUM
Does he have a sister?😅
Remember tho. The first verse isn’t about his sister
He literally states he wrote this verse to tell her he will be there for her
Hey Limelight 💖❤️💖
Ayyee limeliiiight
The most underrated singer who beautifully narrates life through his music.
Alec, Thank you so much for being a singer. ❤
Past days I'm so stressed. But after listening to your songs now I feeling relieved.
Ur sister is beautiful too as you 😇😊💞
Remove the emoji pls it freezes the views
*Imagine having a brother that actually cares*
iMaGiNe tho
😂😂😂
Imagine
@@blackunicorn9544 no I will not move on, because this is the first and probably last time I see you. Have a great day/night :)
Imagine having someone to talk to
I literally started smiling when he said “ I’ll be your brother “ awww ❤️❤️❤️
Snow Fox 1987 FNAF me too 🥺❤️
... Y-yeah nice.... My brother hates me ;-;
@Clay Gibson s w e e t h o m e a l a b a m a
I KNOW RIGHTTT
I started crying ..I held it till then but when he sang it... Ahh... The tears just fell
You know it's a masterpiece when you can't listen to the whole song without actually tearing up. This song is very emotionally powerful.
I love this song ❤
If my brother write something like this for me i'll literally crying hard
everytime i hear this it makes me cry
Id ugly cry
No offense but why do we expect things from others???? I mean you can write something for him 🤷😅
It makes me cry thinking abt it

Everything about alec's songs are so beautiful. Damn he's talented

He is one of the most kind hearted and living singer that i have ever heard of. The verse about his sister is so heartwarming and makes me emotional ❤❤❤
All of his songs are so much connected to the truth that nearly everyone on this earth can feel their own situation in his songs.❤❤
"I'm 23 and my folks are getting old, I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone."
Those are the most genuine words ever incorporated into a song. Alec deserves the world.
He does
It’s very true I lost my parents a few years ago and my my wife/bestfriend last year u need to make every day count
I lost my dad by his choice
fun thing that I'm exactly turned 23 when I first listen to this song
He surely does....♡🙌🏻
Alec is such an underrated singer, he deserves much more credit for the songs he creates. They are not songs about sex, drugs, or anything like that, they are about family and love
FACTS!
Major facts broooo
I appreciate that fact
Precies wat kvind
This man is amazing
Alec u rlly help me thru so much
Bless you guys so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ i really love everyone and trying to help with everything
Man just told three different stories in a three-minute song and every single one made me cry. Perfection
Right
So true
Yea that happened
❤
The fact he dedicated an entire verse for his sister...It's so beautiful
I dont even get a full sentence from my sister
Ikr I want a brother like him 🥲 all my brother does is "hit" me (like play fight not actually hurt me)
The fact that he dedicated a entire song for his sister… it’s so beautiful
Why did you copy the comment
@@urgurlpippa5529 me? I rephrased it dumb kid
This song hits hard. All the best memories I’ve made, all those people that brightened up my life, they loved this song. They left my life and they gave their bittersweet goodbyes. It was HARD AF like I couldn’t concentrate for days on end. But they did leave one thing, this song. And whenever I hear this, I just remember how great they were ❤
Anyone here in 2024….This song will never be old…….😩
Yes indeed
This is the meaning of underrated. But its honestly the best.

WOAH that was nice
NICE
COMMENT
This song always makes me feel transfixed ❤
I mostly never cry due to songs...
But this
..
This one is special...
Ikr :)
Not this one, but I cried when hearing I Built a Friend and Death of a Hero
Sameee
I am not crying you are
same
*You are so underrated*
ikr:(
he is our little secret :)
exactly ugh
This is exactly why he's gold ... he's doing art not commercial sounds
*h o n e s t l y*
I love his songs! A lot of songs now are about how terrible their life is and sometimes I just want a nice song you know? So I really enjoy this song! ❤
Love it
"I will be your brother and I'll hold your hand, you should know I'll be there for you." That had verse had me crying. He truly told a story.
Sobbing
Same here❤😢😢😢😢
I am a singer and I can sing this song
@@Jeff-hf9cddid you write the song ?You probably sound like a dying cat
Not helping JEFF, she just said that shes crying and all u have to say is “IM A SINGER AND I CAN SING THIS SONG ?!”
Fun fact: First verse was on the girl in his highschool,
second verse of his grandparents
and third verse for his sister/parents
Really
Yeah but he made this song for his sister if I'm not mistaken
@@elliQaz Yeah i think so too, I just found it neat that the first verse was based on a girl at his highschool
@@Noellefromhell_ I heard that in an interview
@Cheyenne Azevedo Its an interview about him saying this, I don't know if I'm correct but I did hear if come out of his mouth.
I like it❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song never gets old 😢😢😢
Is it just me or was the scene where the old couple were dancing in the sunset was so cute
i melted from the cuteness
When i think about it i think of the beginning of the movie up
I always like seeing old couples. I just think they look cute together.
it is cute.
It is!
The thing about Alec is that he chooses his words wisely. You don’t see that often. Most singers just carelessly pick words that rhyme. That is why Alec will always be my favorite artist and he should be your favorite too.
I agree bud,
@Jayson Sablaon Very true. Now that I think about it, Alec and Taylor both write their songs similarly. They would be an amazing duo.
I fully agree
taylor and alec write a new song and go on tour....and the tickets are FREE!!!
@@crista777444 that would be the greatest tour ever.
Oh my
I'm in tears 😭 it's such a masterpiece ❤
When I'm sad I listen to this song 😊
Almost all songs are about lovers or heartbreak......but this is beautiful and bout family....god his music is so unique and perfect....❤️❤️❤️
Not unique at all what do you mean
1 song , 3 situations, 0 relativity, still felt good, still felt so positive , still loved it ✨✨✨
Wdym relativity, that means the song is irrelevant
@@umara6640 I mean these situations are so positive...these 3 stories leads had more difficult situations than me and he is saying that only 2 persons are enough for handling any situation positively and happily
...
@@kusum-mittal I think u used the wrong word
@@umara6640 I had explained my perception, you can ask what you are confused about?
@@kusum-mittal does this song not resonate with you? It’s very relatable, everyone goes through tough things in life

Thank u♡
His songs are like stories of people's life that are really deep
He is really underrated
Waiting for that day when I say "I used to listen to him before he blew up"
@Wolfi chu playz yeah true
Ikr!!! He needs to blow up soon lol
The reason why the Album's name is "Narrated for you"
isn't he popular enough?
@@clobre_ He deserves wayyy more. There are so many crap songs which are overrated, while even tho his songs are so much better, he doesn't get that much attention
Great song

☺️😂😢
So your good at putting energy in motion? You should look into the law of attraction

Great song
Now excuse me because I have to go to the bathroom

He's so underrated. Love this song
I have an older sis she has gone through so much shit and still manages to put a smile on for me.. ty so much for this song your the best 🥹
At first I did not understand the meaning of the song, but after checking the translation, I realized that these are 3 separate stories and that this is a song about what a family is built on, whether it be a mother and child, a married couple or brother and sister. It's really very touching!
I am in love with this song ❤️😍
Isn’t he talking about his sister?
@@MeshrefAlghamdi He dedicated the song to his sister, but only the third part is about her.
It is confusing at first such a good story tho
@@dante5728 first part is about a girl being a mom?
Then the 2nd one is abot a married couple?
Then the 3rd one is about his sister
*It's a BIG STORY for only 3min.* =D
To be honest
I feels like 3 movie's
True
Yea. The full circle just hit me a minute ago... his sister "was 19 with a baby on the way"
And his parents are "90 and living out the days" yea i feel REALLY dumb.
I love this song its amazing and so sweet
Its been 5 years... Crazy 😧
Time sure flies...
