This song hits my heart hard... To me, it's about acceptance. It doesn't mean we like or agree with someone's choices, but we can accept & let go. Love from afar. Because, holding in that resentment only hurts ourselves.
yeah but I just wanna add that trauma is often seen as toxic resentment but if u have a bad relationship w your parents because they mistreated and abused you you do not have to forgive them often times you need to forgive yourself because being abused as a kid makes you blame yourself often times and it doesn't necessarily help if you get caught up on thinking you must move on and forgive people because knowing someone wronged you doesn't have to hurt you it can HELP you set up proper boundaries in new relationships
yeah, this really hits where it hurts. i have this problem, but with my mom. she always tells me that i'm just like her and it kills me because i don't want to be anything like her. thankfully my older siblings and aunts don't see her in me and always reassure me that i'm nothing like her, so i feel a bit better about stuff now
I lost my father 23 years ago...I wish I could tell him, that I miss him and he takes me in his arms...that are my feelings that I have when I listen to this song...
@@bluebree My dad also passed in 2015. Also, so did his only sibling. She passed April 3rd, 2015. He passed on April 10th, 2015. Horrible story, horrible deaths in every way, shape and form... Honestly, very terrible explanations & stories, leading up to both of their deaths... But the quick jist & less detailed version of what happened is this- He died, at hardly 41-42 years old, due to a fatal Overdose, caused by the drugs that his Doctors started prescribing him (Methadone & Alprazolam- AKA "Xanax"), leaving behind four children. He died only just 7 days after his only sibling (his baby sister) / (My only Aunt), took her own life, by Suicide, at barely 35-36 years old.. Ugh. Do you mind, if I ask, how you lost your own Dad ..?
Thank you K.Flay. I've had issues with my dad ever since I could remember. He was never emotionally there for me, and I love him so much it hurts that he bearly tries to communicate with me, so my love turned into hate and a fear of growing up to be just like him, but as you said, either way I've got him in my DNA, so today after hearing this amazing masterpiece, I've decided to forgive him because I know he doesn't mean any harm he just doesn't know better. And I'm tired of being mad at him for things he's done unintentionally; My heart feels much lighter now; my similarities and hate towards him have only resulted in self resentment. The more I try not to be like him the less I feel like my true self. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart ❤
Started when I was 23, actin' like my daddy I know, I know I recognize parts of you in me, the parts that can't find peace My soul feels old I made decisions to prove I was different But you follow me like a ghost Now I'm a little bit lit and I'm pleading the fifth As I'm making a toast People say I look like you They say that I got your eyes My mother says I'm tough like you Even in the ways that she don't like And I can't change it, didn't choose my blood But I made up my mind But I don't want to be like you But either way, I got you in my DNA My DNA I try to just play pretend like I didn't fall apart again I'm lonely, like am I the only one? When blocking out the shame stops working Can't you tell, can't you tell that I'm hurting? Hold me, if you love me, come show me Found myself down on the pavement No matter which way that I turned, I was low But you went before me and traveled the stories Of places that I shouldn't go People say I look like you They say that I got your eyes My mother says I'm tough like you Even in the ways that she don't like And I can't change it, didn't choose my blood But I made up my mind But I don't want to be like you But either way, I got you in my DNA My DNA My DNA My DNA The t-shirt you gave me in '96 It's bleached and it's faded, but it still fits And I know that you thought that you f****d up 'Cause I used to too, but then I grew up Now I'm the same age you were when you had me And I'm not ready to be anybody's daddy You and I, we both sing the same blues I wish that you were here so I could thank you I know that I look like you I see it in my own two eyes My mother says I'm tough like you Even in the ways I know she likes And I'm not angry, didn't choose my blood But I made up my mind I know that I'm just like you 'Cause either way, I got you in my DNA My DNA My DNA My DNA My DNA ...♡...
Wow this song gets me emotional. I think the world has abandonment issues that stems from our parents either not being there physically or emotionally. We don't really know or understand each other. Yet we are the same.
Fuck. You are such an incredible artist. I'm a grown ass man and this shit makes me cry like a baby. Fuck do I love my daughter though... and she knows it even though I'm not with her momma any more.
This song hits deep. I love your music so much and your voice is one of a kind. The melodies and feelings from this album are truly unique and i'm very excited to see where the future takes you
I feel like K. Flay deserves so much more traction and “attention” I guess you can say. You are one of my favorite artists and your songs are truly inspiring :)
Definitely hits home... I look exactly like my biological dad, and act exactly like my stepdad. My mom makes fun of me because I "look like and act like her two least favorite people."
I know this is really late but that's really freaking toxic of your mom to say. You are indeed your own person and it's not your fault that your mom has a bad taste in men. I hope you're doing okay now at least, and if you're not just try to keep strong and things will get better
This hits home real hard. Luckily we can make our own families since your blood relatives can turn out to be the least supportive/understanding of who you are/wanna be.
Thank You Kristen :) :) , you are soul talented :) :), remember you have a rare gift of vocally expressing your emotions, THAT IS A GIFT gal :), AMAZING SONGS FROM THE SOUL, you keep going gal you help everyday knowing that the way I feel is not alone, THANK YOU
I can't choose my family. But my friends, can get over it. I still give a f about the little things, I still have empathy, I still care more then the sh people talk.
my daughter and her Dad....right down to the shirt he gave her....he is stuck in his addiction and she doesn't understand why he can't be there for her emotionally. a mother's love for their daughter is different than a fathers. She needs him and struggles with feelings of worth because of it. I pray for him daily and hope one day he can see the life he made in front of him.
Amazing song, but could you please make a Song with Vanic again or just ask him to remix yours idk. I just want to say that you guys make awesome music together
Ouch. He was 21 when he had me. He was already struggling with years long of addiction. My mom took off for our sake but he stayed in touch. I always resented him for not staying clean, not loving me enough to change. Then I grew up and found comfort at the end of a bottle and i understood. He still calls from time to time and says he love me but I still can't say it back. I will, someday
Finally listened to this album and this track alone makes me glad I did. It's about to be the 10 year anniversary of my dad's suicide so damn this hit me right in the feels. Thank you.
How I feel about my biological father. He sexually abused me from a young age and my mother would always compare me to him and that would hurt. I even tried to forgive him and he still hurt me! Man this song
One of my favorite songs from this record. Such a deeply personal and moving masterpiece of a song. ♡♡
After hearing this many times, i just finally noticed the “thank you” repetition at the very end🥺💔lub u flay💜

I completely agree

Growing up with a dad who really didn’t understand me, How he wasn’t always there. This song hit home hard.
there with you
UA-cam doesn't understand you either.
Welcome.
No, you are not alone k flay.

Sorry to hear that bro. I'm sure he's looking down on you though. Make him proud.
I know I'm late, but I'm so sorry for your loss x I lost my dad in 2015 and he's the only one I want here.

Love those animations! Very cute. Waited for the song to get uploaded on YT, love it! ❤️
Started when I was 23, actin' like my daddy
I know, I know
I recognize parts of you in me, the parts that can't find peace
My soul feels old
I made decisions to prove I was different
But you follow me like a ghost
Now I'm a little bit lit and I'm pleading the fifth
As I'm making a toast
People say I look like you
They say that I got your eyes
My mother says I'm tough like you
Even in the ways that she don't like
And I can't change it, didn't choose my blood
But I made up my mind
But I don't want to be like you
But either way, I got you in my DNA
My DNA
I try to just play pretend like I didn't fall apart again
I'm lonely, like am I the only one?
When blocking out the shame stops working
Can't you tell, can't you tell that I'm hurting?
Hold me, if you love me, come show me
Found myself down on the pavement
No matter which way that I turned, I was low
But you went before me and traveled the stories
Of places that I shouldn't go
People say I look like you
They say that I got your eyes
My mother says I'm tough like you
Even in the ways that she don't like
And I can't change it, didn't choose my blood
But I made up my mind
But I don't want to be like you
But either way, I got you in my DNA
My DNA
My DNA
My DNA
The t-shirt you gave me in '96
It's bleached and it's faded, but it still fits
And I know that you thought that you f****d up
'Cause I used to too, but then I grew up
Now I'm the same age you were when you had me
And I'm not ready to be anybody's daddy
You and I, we both sing the same blues
I wish that you were here so I could thank you
I know that I look like you
I see it in my own two eyes
My mother says I'm tough like you
Even in the ways I know she likes
And I'm not angry, didn't choose my blood
But I made up my mind
I know that I'm just like you
'Cause either way, I got you in my DNA
My DNA
My DNA
My DNA
My DNA

thanks
Wow this song gets me emotional. I think the world has abandonment issues that stems from our parents either not being there physically or emotionally. We don't really know or understand each other. Yet we are the same.
I'm here to stay, no one gets to be stuck alone anymore. Not while I'm here.
I'm evil but does that make me love y'all any different?
@@nickolasjones7767 if you can love, you aren't evil... just hurt. You aren't alone, either.
This really hits me right in the feels..
This song made me cry at work lol
I want moreee from k.flay
Her voice is amazing!!
I just love this song so much.... love every word of this
Fuck. You are such an incredible artist. I'm a grown ass man and this shit makes me cry like a baby. Fuck do I love my daughter though... and she knows it even though I'm not with her momma any more.

@K.Flay can you stop being my life? Thanks for this 🤟
Damn the feelz from this song hard! Great work K. Flay I love everything you are doing 💜
I feel like K. Flay deserves so much more traction and “attention” I guess you can say. You are one of my favorite artists and your songs are truly inspiring :)
This song needs a video! It would be awesome to reach more people with this masterpiece. Absolutely love it
I don't know what song from the album I relate to the most, but this, this is pretty high up there🙌🙌😍
This song is so relatable to me it hurts i love it
I DONT BELIVE THIS
WE LOVE YOU K.FLAY
Omg. I relate 100 percent. My dad committed suicide 3 years ago. 😓 thank you for this kay!!! I'm crying . I needed this in my life!
Man this kinda reminds me of me and my dad
Definitely hits home... I look exactly like my biological dad, and act exactly like my stepdad. My mom makes fun of me because I "look like and act like her two least favorite people."
That's bs you're your own man. Someone will love you for it.
That's fucking cruel. Damn. I don't even know what to say. I agree with Superman 54 You decide who you are, don't make anyone else do it for you.
This made me laugh a bit :)
jesus, savage mom
I know this is really late but that's really freaking toxic of your mom to say. You are indeed your own person and it's not your fault that your mom has a bad taste in men. I hope you're doing okay now at least, and if you're not just try to keep strong and things will get better

One of my favorite albums, very underrated and this is one of my favorite songs ever ❤❤
All songs from Solutions, I love.
Like, just have a horizontal list of them all at number 1 from it

I'm amazed as always by your awesome music.
I'm 31 and I just watched my father pass from this world to the next in the back of an ambulance. Thank you for everything, Dad.
I can't choose my family. But my friends, can get over it. I still give a f about the little things, I still have empathy, I still care more then the sh people talk.

Don't wait too long. We don't know when the people close to us will die. And you may regret it if you don't tell them before it happens
