this anthem is for frightened hopeless romantics... frightened hopeless romantics is me... i've opened my heart too many times that i've locked it and ate the key. i just dont wanna open it anymore
I’m the same way. I’ve always loved romance and doing romantic things. Then my boyfriend broke up with me 2 days before Christmas, aka 4 days ago, bc I came out to him as non-binary.... he’s only interested in girls.... Now I’m scared that when I fall for someone again that they’re going to do the same thing.
@@luketoby7405 Same. I want to just give up on love so bad, but I can’t. Something inside of me keeps holding to the hope that’ll find the right person. It’s exhausting.
Waitress isn’t a particular favourite but this is my fav song from any musical thus far because... I relate so hard XD. I have such a big fear of abandonment that inevitably makes me scared of love and companionship. This song perfectly describes why I shelter my heart so sturdily.
I relate to this song on a personal level, one of my biggest fears in life is liking someone or loving and them either not liking or loving me back as much. Like, faking how they feel about me. I've been hurt in the past..so I hide my feelings and act like I'm not interested in anyone. I keep my guard up and I know it, it's wrong but I do. And when she sings "I'm scared of breaking open" hits me hard, because..I'm so deprived of affection, I forget how to act and cry or panic when someone I like shows interest or when someone confesses to me
Agreed, I have been hurt so badly so many times that I just act like I'm numb to everyone and don't care, also have social anxiety which makes all the points you're making just a tad worse
@@yatomcyato6459 yeah the thing is I’m very aware that all these feelings are just in my head and that I just have to push though but it drains me so much that the way I feel after makes me regret it. A good example would be this week just gone…new job, socialised with new people all week, plus learning the material for the new job caused me to have a breakdown last night. It’s just so incredibly overwhelming that I avoid it as much as possible and the worst part is I know it’s bad for me. But feeling drained and on edge all the time is a worse alternative than being alone.
That really rots. I mean, that it hurts so bad just to want to love. Have you considered therapy at all or been medicated? I know both sometimes don’t work, so I guess it’s just making sure.
@@yatomcyato6459 I’ve had both done. I got diagnosed properly when I was 15 I was medicated for 4 years after that and went to therapy for a year and a half. I’m almost 22 now and I’m definitely a lot better at handling things without meds. It was just this week in particular was really hard. Sometimes I do need to just have that breakdown and let everything go. But don’t worry! As I said I’m a lot better than how I was when I was a teenager. I couldn’t even step foot in school for over 2 months without having a anxiety attack. Definitely an improvement over the years.
You know what? That’s incredible! I’m really glad you’ve seen that improvement, and I hope that it keeps improving. I’m sorry this week was hard though. I get it can be like that. Sometimes though, as long as you know what you’re doing, you’re already being the greatest help to yourself. Though, to make up for the week, here’s a cookie of courage: ✨🍪✨
I just got asked out by an old friend. I had been talking to him for months after I had moved away and when I told him I’d be coming back to our home state, he asked me out on a date. I said yes, as I had a crush on him for quite a while, but I can relate to this song so much. I have such a difficult time processing my feelings for people, so seeing this made feel like I had something to relate to (I also told him about my difficulty processing these things and he completely understands). The thing that made me laugh out loud during this song is when she sang “He could be colorblind!” Straight up called out the man I’m going out with. Good thing I know he’s not a criminal 😂
OMG, I also like a friend of mine.. it took me so long to understand my feelings and express them even to myself.. and, I have also moved back to my hometown right now and we don't talk as much, and I let things just be -it could be for the best, since he is not super expressive, as well 😅 but, OH MY, he is colorblind, too... your story made me almost choke..😂 I wish all the best to you two, though!! Have the best time and communication together!❤
you know, loving someone who doesn’t love you as much hurts, a lot. But what hurts more is the begging and the lowering of my standards, just to get that crumb of love i knew they’re capable of. But they’ll eventually leave and all that love i knew they had they’ll give it to someone else. And you’ll stay questioning yourself, “what was wrong with me?” “Was i too much?” “Was i not enough?” You’re left with nothing , they took all your love with them. But sooner or later when you’re alone and working on yourself, you’ll realize that they only took a piece of your love, not all or it. Then you’ll be doing and feeling things you never knew you were capable of. Just a matter of time .
This is exactly the way I feel. I have become something I’m not happy of, I can’t stand myself anymore all because I gave all my love to him. I can’t stop thinking “am I good enough?” “Why doesn’t he like me” “should I lose weight?” And it’s making me miserable. So pathetic, over a BOY? Really? But yes, your comment is underrated-
@@cel9225 the waitress community is actually really nice! If you're from tiktok, if you're from theatre, Spotify shuffle, whatever, listen to the whole musical to bless your ears ahaha.
The timing and inflection on this song is difficult, she pulls it off so well tho. They casted her perfectly. No one else could pull this song off like that. Perfection.
The fear of rejection and vulnerability mixed with a desperate wanting to be known, loved, and accepted is an incredibly difficult combination that for a long time has caused me to be alone. Breaking out of those mental cycles and learning how to really open yourself up to and accept hurt when it comes is hard... But its doable, and im happy to say ive been making steps. Hearing this song though made me feel very seen and very heard
I'm vibing over here at 3:43 in the f-ing morning on the phone with a guy who broke my heart on multiple occasions, one time even using me to cheat on someone, and I STILL talk to him. I'm terrified I may give him another chance. I'm scared to get hurt again.
i know how that feels a little too well and trust me when i say you deserve better. my ex hurt me numerous times but i never completely left and couldn’t stop myself from loving him because i kept telling myself things would be different and i’d never have what i had with him with somebody else. now i know that’s a good thing. you’re worth more than that pain. i don’t know you but reading this seriously got to me and i hope you figured it out seeing that that comment was 4 months ago.
@@jaylynng.2434 I still relive the pain sometimes, and I can't bring myself to stop talking to him. Hell, I talked to him last night. And it hurts, that I'll never have what I did with him. That connection was just... perfect, you know? But I'm better. I understand that I'm worth more than what happened, and that even if he's sorry we're still different people than we were. We're not compatible like that anymore, and he's moved on. I'm still doing my best to. I have a nasty habit of listening to music related to those emotions with the purpose of crying, but I'm doing my best to break it. I'm better and I deserve better. At this point I've surrounded myself with a sea of friends who love and respect me, and I'm doing my best to be myself and expand who I really am. I'll miss what we had, but I know there's no point in grieving. It's better to just move on. The long and the short of it: I'm doing my best. Thank you for your reply, it hit me (in a good way). It's nice for someone else to relate to how I feel and felt.
@@TheFirstRose that’s so good honestly. i do the same thing with music so i definitely am not gonna judge you on that. you have a really good mindset on the whole thing and i’m proud of you for making it this far:) i hope you have a truly amazing present and future

Fun fact: The singer and actress pictured is Kimoko Glenn, who besides her Broadway shows, is known for the role of Brook ‘Soso’ on Orange Is The New Black!
I'm 24, I never been in a relationship, actually just started really dating a year ago and this is why. This mix of valid and less valid reasons to stay alone, because I can't make myself belive that someone will be excited about me, that someone will get me, someone that I will be able to be exiceted about. The fact that Dawn wasn't totally wrong and was able to find a match gives me a little bit of hope, even if she is fictional.
I stick with real things Usually facts and figures When information's in its place I minimize the guessing game Guess what? (What?) I don't like guessing games Or when I feel things Before I know the feelings How am I supposed to operate If I'm just tossed around by fate? Like on an unexpected date? With a stranger who might talk too fast Or ask me questions about myself Before I've decided that He can ask me questions about myself He might sit too close Or call the waiter by his first name Or eat Oreos But eat the cookie before the cream But what scares me the most What scares me the most Is what if when he sees me, what if he doesn't like it? What if he runs the other way and I can't hide from it? (Ah) What happens then? (Ah) If when he knows me, he's only disappointed? What if I give myself away, to only get it given back? (Ah) I couldn't live with that (how do you live with that?) So, I'm just fine, inside my shell-shaped mind This way I get the best view So that when he sees me, I want him too Dawn, don't you think you're being a little, I mean maybe just a tad I'm not defensive! I'm simply being cautious I can't risk reckless dating Due to my miscalculating While a certain suitor stands in line I've seen in movies Most made for television You cannot be too careful When it comes to sharing your life I could end up a miserable wife Sorry girls, but he could be criminal, some sort of psychopath Who escaped from an institution Somewhere where they don't have girls He could have masterminded some way to find me He could be colorblind How untrustworthy is that? He could be less than kind Or even worse he could be very nice, have lovely eyes And make me laugh, come out of hiding What do I do with that? Oh, god What if when he sees me I like him and he knows it? What if he opens up a door And I can't close it? (What if a door is opened?) What happens then? (What happens then?) If when he holds me (when) My heart is set in motion (he) I'm not prepared for that (holds) I'm scared of breaking open (me) But still I can't help from hoping (but I can't help) To find someone to talk to Who likes the way I am Someone who when he sees me Wants to again
Oof, anthem for anyone who suffered Heartbreak But It Wasn't Really Heartbreak But You're Still Too Scared to Try Again™ at a young age Edit: turns out the relationship I was referencing here was full of abuse and gaslighting. Hopefully the 614 of you who liked this (thanks, by the way) have nicer stories about the Not-Really-Heartbreak you experienced
This is too relatable... in my case I even feel like this when I'm trying to make new friends. So, yeah... I'm crying in my room right now, thank you very much.
I CAN RELATE TO THIS SONG SO MUCH i used to have crushes, three in general, and it never works out. they either leave me, like someone else, or betray me in some kind. i just want to meet someone, the perfect someone. I've been desperate of meeting my soulmate ever since and when i listened to this song again I could not believe I didn't relate to this a few years ago but I do now. Is meeting the perfect soulmate really too much to ask for?
I am naturally a hopeless romantic and I've been looking for the guy in person and online but can't seem to find the motivation to go on and "wait for it" but I'm impatient, also I have a really fantastic rose-colored glasses view over love relationships and expect a fairytale-like couple.. *(Probably will die alone but jeez this song is made for me to scream and manifest it to happen)*
This line hits a little to hard.. “What if he opens up a DOOR and I can’t CLOSE it!!!” I honestly still can’t close it and it’s been 5 years now!!! 😓😭😭💔💔
It’s been like 3 months since I rediscovered this song (I knew of it since 2020) and I can’t stop listening to it. More than liking the song itself, which is *chef’s kisses* I also find myself relating to Dawn a lot 😭. I LOVE LOVE KIMIKO’S VOICE SO MUCH HERE. I really love how much emotion she puts into the lyrics, how you can feel the anxiety and distress the character feels, but at the same time how, despite the stress, it’s still something desired. To be loved unconditionally as someone who might be deemed as ‘weird’ or ‘strange’.
I'm laughing because Kimiko voices Nifty in the Hazbin Hotel series and now I'm just cackling because I'm imagining her singing about Alastor to Charlie, Vaggie and Mimzy
Found my anthem
*stands up and puts hand on heart* amen
Yesh
RIGHT
*Salutes* me as well
FOR REAL.
Can we just credit Sara Bareilles with her lyrical genius? She captures an anxious romantic perfectly. And whoever is singing as Dawn rn kills it.

I stick with real things
Usually facts and figures
When information's in its place
I minimize the guessing game
Guess what? (What?)
I don't like guessing games
Or when I feel things
Before I know the feelings
How am I supposed to operate
If I'm just tossed around by fate?
Like on an unexpected date?
With a stranger who might talk too fast
Or ask me questions about myself
Before I've decided that
He can ask me questions about myself
He might sit too close
Or call the waiter by his first name
Or eat Oreos
But eat the cookie before the cream
But what scares me the most
What scares me the most
Is what if when he sees me, what if he doesn't like it?
What if he runs the other way and I can't hide from it? (Ah)
What happens then? (Ah)
If when he knows me, he's only disappointed?
What if I give myself away, to only get it given back? (Ah)
I couldn't live with that (how do you live with that?)
So, I'm just fine, inside my shell-shaped mind
This way I get the best view
So that when he sees me, I want him too
Dawn, don't you think you're being a little, I mean maybe just a tad
I'm not defensive!
I'm simply being cautious
I can't risk reckless dating
Due to my miscalculating
While a certain suitor stands in line
I've seen in movies
Most made for television
You cannot be too careful
When it comes to sharing your life
I could end up a miserable wife
Sorry girls, but he could be criminal, some sort of psychopath
Who escaped from an institution
Somewhere where they don't have girls
He could have masterminded some way to find me
He could be colorblind
How untrustworthy is that?
He could be less than kind
Or even worse he could be very nice, have lovely eyes
And make me laugh, come out of hiding
What do I do with that?
Oh, god
What if when he sees me
I like him and he knows it?
What if he opens up a door
And I can't close it? (What if a door is opened?)
What happens then? (What happens then?)
If when he holds me (when)
My heart is set in motion (he)
I'm not prepared for that (holds)
I'm scared of breaking open (me)
But still I can't help from hoping (but I can't help)
To find someone to talk to
Who likes the way I am
Someone who when he sees me
Wants to again
Thank you!!!
@@tenillen4191 Np! I always find it easier when I can read the next line before it’s on the screen

God bless you😌
Thanks it was so hard to sing it when the words weren’t on the fucking screen
It's weird how well this song captures all our anxieties about relationships. And our loneliness...
How is no one talking abt the “i could end up a miserable wife”
I havent had a single coherent thought since i heard it this singers so good
Imagining Marinette here
Rookie Yeah214 YES EXACTLY
LMAO YES
From miraculous ladybug, oh man. Yeah I totally see it!
YEAHH
SCARILY ACCURATE JAJAJA
This is such a good song. So beautifully sang too.
Insane to think that she’s now a cartoon horse in a magical centaur world absolutely belting her heart out
I have questions
@@jandarrellortega8250 oohhh, i don't remember there being centaur in it tho.
did you know the girl who voices Rider is also in Waitress!! she's the one who calls Dawn defensive
she’s also in that kiff show on disney channel!! haven’t seen it but saw ads for it while owl house was still on and def recognized her voice
Peni Parker.

The new Niffty for Hazbin Hotel
Intj women anthem, prove me wrong
This comment deserves more attention
I will. What if they're lesbian? The song refers to the person as a guy
sydney well I stand corrected then, it’s just a genderless INTJ. Thanks for the comment dude!
Here intj girl herself
As an intj i can approve this.
this song makes me want to get in the washing machine and turn it to spin only
in a good way 🏌️♀️
I've discovered this song today and is the only one i'll be listening for the next two days of my life
Why is this song just so freaking relatable??????
Oof, anthem for anyone who suffered Heartbreak But It Wasn't Really Heartbreak But You're Still Too Scared to Try Again™ at a young age
Edit: turns out the relationship I was referencing here was full of abuse and gaslighting. Hopefully the 614 of you who liked this (thanks, by the way) have nicer stories about the Not-Really-Heartbreak you experienced
You called?-
YES
oh christ, i feel so called out
hiw
u had no right being so right.... and specific.
Crying to this wasn't what I was expecting today but I'll take it
I saw this live, and you could really feel the emotion in the room. It was amazing.
I just discover this song and I already love it! RIP the repeat button... this is my overthinking romantic anthem
i second this
i live by this song it literally applies perfectly to me
this made me cry....she really put the exact felling in the whole song 😢
girlies southern accent disappears like 5 times 😭😭
I literally love this song so much. I chose it as my audition song for my first musical! I can't wait!
idk about y'all but this gives me commitment issues-
Please do I love you like a table from waitress! Love these videos
Could you do "The Negative" from Waitress, or maybe "Satisfied" from Hamilton? ♡
satisfied video up now! :) th-cam.com/video/qaORCn6Tqco/w-d-xo.html
the negative video up now! :) th-cam.com/video/PKLUvUwR3D4/w-d-xo.html
Or both
This is too relatable... in my case I even feel like this when I'm trying to make new friends. So, yeah... I'm crying in my room right now, thank you very much.
As a person who eats the cookie first, i feel insulted
You should
@@littlemanwithhat1966 evil
I’m so glad that renga fan art tiktok let me discover this song
AAAYYYY SK8 FANDOM
Why are so many bangers from musicals? Like they are on a whole other level or something. It's kind scary how good they make their songs 😰😰😰
I've finally memorized it!
If only I was this determined to study for school 🤦♂️
already my favourite song
"I'm not prepared for that I'm scared of breaking open"
RELATABLE
oh look it’s my anthem
I CAN RELATE TO THIS SONG SO MUCH
i used to have crushes, three in general, and it never works out. they either leave me, like someone else, or betray me in some kind.
i just want to meet someone, the perfect someone. I've been desperate of meeting my soulmate ever since and when i listened to this song again I could not believe I didn't relate to this a few years ago but I do now. Is meeting the perfect soulmate really too much to ask for?
How am I just now finding this, such a banger
straight CHILLS
Singing this song for my audition for my school’s musical..wish me luck!
How did you do? I know im very late but I was scrolling down and saw your comment
this never gets old
very nice to see there's a song that explains my entire love life
Her voice gives me chills dude
I am naturally a hopeless romantic and I've been looking for the guy in person and online but can't seem to find the motivation to go on and "wait for it" but I'm impatient, also I have a really fantastic rose-colored glasses view over love relationships and expect a fairytale-like couple..
*(Probably will die alone but jeez this song is made for me to scream and manifest it to happen)*
This song makes me cry so hard because I relate
her voice is so pretty
everyone rise for the hopeless-romantics-afraid-of-denial anthem
I get to sing this for state drama!! I am so excited!!
Heard this on tiktok and fell in love with it
Singing this for an audition wish me luck 🤞
How did it go?
The "He could be COLORBLIND!" line kills me.😭😂😂
This line hits a little to hard.. “What if he opens up a DOOR and I can’t CLOSE it!!!”
I honestly still can’t close it and it’s been 5 years now!!! 😓😭😭💔💔
It’s been like 3 months since I rediscovered this song (I knew of it since 2020) and I can’t stop listening to it. More than liking the song itself, which is *chef’s kisses* I also find myself relating to Dawn a lot 😭. I LOVE LOVE KIMIKO’S VOICE SO MUCH HERE. I really love how much emotion she puts into the lyrics, how you can feel the anxiety and distress the character feels, but at the same time how, despite the stress, it’s still something desired. To be loved unconditionally as someone who might be deemed as ‘weird’ or ‘strange’.
I love this song who ever sang is a legend!!!!!!!❤️
Her name is Kimiko Glenn! Her voice is just gorgeous
"what if I give myself away to only get it given back?" Bawling this song keeps calling me out sighhh
Real😭
Can you do “First Burn” from Hamilton? Please and thank you! ♥️♥️
This song punched me right in the mouth, this is MEEEEEEE
Omg fr I like this one boy and I like never speak to him but I'm too scared to incase he's not actually as nice as I think he is😭
I relate to this song so much I'm afraid to ask anyone out because I'm scared they will reject me
This makes me SICK how real it feels😭😭😭😭
“He could be COLORBLINDDD”
Me, an outgoing flirt who's gone through multiple gfs and bfs this year:
*Ah yes, this is totally my song*
I relate to this so much omg

Thanks 💖
@@chickenducks1002 I just bookmarked this for an animatic I was planning 😅 You're welcome though!
I hope the animatic goes well!!
@@kaisetic3150 I WANNA SEE IT
I'm laughing because Kimiko voices Nifty in the Hazbin Hotel series and now I'm just cackling because I'm imagining her singing about Alastor to Charlie, Vaggie and Mimzy
