Hell yeah! I'm 31 and our era really had the best music growing up! Linkin park, Nickelback, Staind, Saosin, my chemical romance, all American rejects, papa roach, three days grace! List goes on and on!
I didn’t realize how sad all the rock music I listened to as a young teen was. There is a beauty to it. But I think real beauty is to experience the sadness, but to have reason to continue. To be strong in the face of that.
Staind didn't get enough credit throughout their career. People only remember the hits on Break the Cycle. It was their 3rd album when they broke out. They have so many songs that connect people. They saved me as a young girl and still have helped me through the years.
“Why can’t you just forgive me…….. I don’t want to relive all the mistakes I’ve made along the way…..” those lyrics resonate with me so hard right now. Wish you all the best stay strong shit gets better.
@@beezybeez4207 I just saw the video and I really like it. It looks like they are way underrated and probably not many people like myself know about it.
@@yoitsblade2180 cry me a river. Get a hobby already and stop pinning away about some relationship the didn't work. Sure it sucks but thats the human experience, so don't waste your time crying about the o e that got away and move the fuck on already. And this song is way overly dramatic and its the only thing he ever sings about.
Lyrics are so impactful to me "I hope your not intending to be so condescending its as much as i can take" and "why cant you just forgive me i dont want to relive all the mistakes ive made" hit me hard af
These guys were THE best therapists I have EVER had. I swear, if we're to ever meet them, I would hand them a check for all those years they helped me vent my anger sadness by just creating this music that can just scream at the top of my lungs while crying. You can't imagine the relief I felt after doing that. When i didnt have the words to express what I was feeling...these guys were there for me to be my voice.
The lyrics so perfectly describe toxic, codependent relationships. The people that listened to this back then as teenagers only realise that now. The sound captivated us then, the meaning is captivating us now. The power of music hey!
As a survivor of a narcissist, this could’ve been our theme song. I think once I went No Contact and heard this song again, this song showed me how toxic we were…he was. I always waited for the next explosion, drama, etc. hoping for the love-bombing to start the cycle again. It was exhausting. This song still resonates and brings the tears. Now, Aaron’s newest Patriot anthem brings tears.Truly powerful messages.
As a fellow survivor of narcissistic abuse, I can relate heavily to this song and to your comment. I listened to this song on repeat after I finally got sick of the constant run-around of love bombing, abuse and discarding.
Definitely feels like the perspective of someone abused and codependent. I used to find this romantic, now it's a song begging for permission to leave... because he's not sure he's strong enough to leave
That's so crazy you connected it to your narcissist because so did I lol even if the lyrics were not intended it really does explain the cycle hope you are doing better I just left mine 3 weeks ago there is hope
LYRICS: I know I've been mistaken But just give me a break And see the changes that I've made I've got some imperfections But how can you collect them all And throw them in my face But you always find a way To keep me right here waiting You always find the words to say To keep me right here waiting If you chose to walk away I'd still be right here waiting Searching for the things to say To keep you right here waiting I hope you're not intending To be so condescending It's as much as I can take And you're so independent You just refuse to bend So I keep bending till I break But you always find a way To keep me right here waiting You always find the words to say To keep me right here waiting If you chose to walk away I'd still be right here waiting Searching for the things to say To keep you right here waiting I've made a commitment I'm willing to bleed for you I needed fulfillment I found what I need in you Can't you just forgive me I don't want to relive all the mistakes I've made along the way But I always find a way To keep you right here waiting I always find the words to say To keep you right here waiting But you always find a way To keep me right here waiting You always find the words to say To keep me right here waiting If I chose to walk away Would you be right here waiting Searching for the things to say To keep me right here waiting
I think he is talking about him self that he love so much.. But she is always against his will.. You always need to go so so far behind the lyrics to find the meaning..love is hell i understood.. But the meaning of the lyrics is beyond love..
The power and emotion behind this song has always been one of my favorites from Staind. I mean i grew up with this band. From the first album to the last
I can almost smell my dad's old ford. God, I miss those days. Man, had to be at least 20+ years ago listening to the radio with him and my brother. I miss you dad. so damn much
My ex wife and I held hands to this song the first time seeing these guys in Florida in 2005. This was our song during our relationship. We split up in 2018. At the end I was right there trying to make it work, she just kept on walking away. 5 years on, I wouldnt take her back even if she wanted to try. Sometimes things just cant work out again...
Ironically i found this song on day that could not be worse .. this one speaks and at times opens up your wounds . "you just refuse to bend so i keep bending till i break"
AuthenticAmorth Agreed. It's always good to revisit the past musically but there is a wealth of new sounds, new bands, even older bands that have restyled themselves to listen to. All this wish it was still the whatever decade nonsense. All the songs come with you, there's no need to go back.
My God, this is so powerful, I have goosebumps every time I listen to it. Such beautiful and exact words, I'm amazed. True masterpiece. And the singer face tells the story, and I feel it, cause I had the same.
As a kid I thought Staind was just cool rock music that my dad listened to. Now as an adult knowing all the shit my dad went through it hits deep. And myself going through hard times now makes it cut even deeper.
I've always loved jamming Staind as a young kid. But now that I been through some painful relationships and heard this song again, it hurt like a mfr and hit home. How great of a band Staind has been and underrated they are is insane. But their music still hits now just as anytime !!! Thank you Aaron Lewis for such a timeless song.
I dedicated this song to my narcissistic mother years ago and every year on the anniversary of the day I walked away I listen to it to remind me of how much I've healed and to remind me that I never have to feel like that again.
Me too. I left my mother’s house when I was 14 and had asked my dad to let me live with him and my stepmom, who I still refer to as my mom. Mother was a narcissist and her father molested me from the time I was 2. I couldn’t wait to get away from them!
damn. just had to block mine a few weeks ago. she lives in a different state. i have done this before because I would feel so guilty but the cycle is too vicious for me. i have peace now but wonder if something happens will i regret it. But hope you’re well. know how hard and how much it hurts
this song is about a real relationship. both people give and take, but in the end they keep coming back to each other. beautiful song. this bands best imo
Staind is my favorite Alternative rock band since I was a kid. I love listening to their music, and I can really relate to every lyrics. It makes me more emotional and calm at the same time. This video deserves more views imo.
Never understand what all these songs meant as a child, my mother listen to this band a lot. this song can’t describe me and my soulmate any better. I love her, I always will. I know I’m young, I’m 20. decided to only love her until the end of my days. It’s hell. Forever and always my love, Halie Jade
To listen to sad music as a young teen and feel connected with it. And to grow up and realize you resonate with those songs more than you probably wanted to.
This song is dedicated to that relationship with a narsaccist, making us coming back to them when they are normal. We are human we make mistakes, stop starting arguments on our past mistakes.
As a teen and early 20s i would sit with headphones on with CD player and play these albums over and over often sitting indian style on floor and bobbing up and down with eyes closed
If your listening to Staind in 2025 you're probably old enough to remember when MTV played music videos 🔥
Yep, sure am.. man what crazy times 😂
💯 absolutely
God I was in my late teens when Staind broke out with Dysfunction. I was lucky enough to get a copy of torment. Keep listen to this great band man!
Yes, I was there for the official kickoff for MTV.
Yes I am and I used to “dance” slowly with my sons when they were infants no matter what song they played.
I’m 33 and remember listening to this song when I was 17. Really were blessed with the best music back then. This resonates.
I just turned 18 and found this band and I’m fucking obsessed with them favorite song so far is this one and so far away

LYRICS:
I know I've been mistaken
But just give me a break
And see the changes that I've made
I've got some imperfections
But how can you collect them all
And throw them in my face
But you always find a way
To keep me right here waiting
You always find the words to say
To keep me right here waiting
If you chose to walk away
I'd still be right here waiting
Searching for the things to say
To keep you right here waiting
I hope you're not intending
To be so condescending
It's as much as I can take
And you're so independent
You just refuse to bend
So I keep bending till I break
But you always find a way
To keep me right here waiting
You always find the words to say
To keep me right here waiting
If you chose to walk away
I'd still be right here waiting
Searching for the things to say
To keep you right here waiting
I've made a commitment
I'm willing to bleed for you
I needed fulfillment
I found what I need in you
Can't you just forgive me
I don't want to relive all the mistakes
I've made along the way
But I always find a way
To keep you right here waiting
I always find the words to say
To keep you right here waiting
But you always find a way
To keep me right here waiting
You always find the words to say
To keep me right here waiting
If I chose to walk away
Would you be right here waiting
Searching for the things to say
To keep me right here waiting
¡Muchas gracias! 💯🍷

What a great song. The power in Aaron's voice at 3:15 with his "right here waitingggggggggggg" is amazing.
Great song!
I love how hearing these tunes, I can go back to when I heard them. Its sick. Music is medicine and a time machine!!!
We will never hear songs like this again, they are a treasure and I’ll be 80 still listening
I’m 53 and I love these guys!
Words can’t adequately express just how much I love this song ❤️❤️❤️
One of the most perfect songs
As an early teen I would jam to these songs and the lyrics went over my head. Now as a man I’m brought to tears.
U will only understand this song if u love someone that don't love you back but u can't let them go
So true
I think he is talking about him self that he love so much.. But she is always against his will.. You always need to go so so far behind the lyrics to find the meaning..love is hell i understood.. But the meaning of the lyrics is beyond love..
That’s real shit , you have to have been in those shoes
Truth!
Truer words were never spoken... u nailed it.
If you chose to walk away, I'd still be right here waiting. I love that lyric
