Feeling terrified to release this...hopefully it brings someone peace. I've faced a lot of demons the past year and can honestly say that acceptance and forgiveness (although very painful to walk though) has lead to a lot of peace & freedom. A new paradigm. It took me years to forgive myself for some of the addictions and mistakes I made...but here I am...moving forward and not staying chained to those spaces. This video is for me, and for those who are somewhere in-between...I want to look back and remember this season.
If you're looking for settledness in your soul, may I suggest looking into this idea of forgiveness?
Making eye contact with my brokenness: Learning to accept/love the parts of us we don’t like isn’t easy. In fact, it can often be overwhelming and downright miserable. Sometimes the only way to love these jagged edges is to take them out for dinner. Sit with them. Get to know them.
Have coffee with your failure. Eat a meal with that flaw. Hug your shame. Get to know it. Get honest with it. It’s there. And honestly, it’s not going away. So we may as well invite it in and ask what it wants to teach us.
What’s your story, envy? Where did you come from, lust? Why are we always at odds, jealousy? When we’re honest with our fragments, they often and magically loose their power and mystery. And who knows, by the end of the night we may actually become friends with these “faults” and recognize they were never faults at all...imagine, laughing and cracking jokes with our mistakes!?!
It’s one of the hardest things to do, but if we can make eye contact with our brokenness, it seems the other people in our world become much easier and enjoyable to love. Our judgement just kind of falls away…At least that’s what I’ve experienced. But what do I know?
I heard it once said, “get the log out of your eye before you help with the speck in your friends.” Maybe it’s time we take our logs out for some taters and mash.

LYRICS:
Swore I’d never end up like this
Can’t see past my own mistakes
Broken promises turned into habits
I’ve gotta do something about this
I know, I know I need to start listening
Dear Self I’ve gotta write this letter to you
I’ll admit I messed up yeah a time or two
I finally get what I’m supposed to do
Let go
It’s not too late to start over again
Lesson learned from those things I did
And what I thought I could never forgive
That’s why I’m writing
Dear Self
I need you to know that I’m sorry
I need you to know
Dear Self
I need you to know that I’m sorry
I need you to know
Looking back on all this indecision
Finding answers in a bottle or two
Shouldn’t be alive but amazing grace
Sometimes we all could use a rescue
Guess a broken heart is what I needed
To remind me she would never fill the deepest part of my soul and I long for innocence, In a sense.
Honestly I’ll admit I’m afraid
Because love is the answer
And I’ve never let it in
I swore I’d never end up like this
Can’t see past my own mistakes
Tyler, I’ve been listening to your music for over ten years now. Seeing you being so open and honest with yourself is striking something in myself.
Thank you for inspiring me over all these years, thank you for teaching me it’s okay to make mistakes and forgive yourself
Hi Katie 👋 I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your profile tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….
You will probably will never read this but I had some issues today and all of the sudden this song pops up on my UA-cam. It really hit home.
You have a beautiful voice!!! Please keep singing and bringing people joy!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I found this song searching for 'better' and i absolutely love it. So many times i wish I could tell my younger self to be more forgiving to yourself and be patient with yourself. You may have regrets so enjoy the little things now as you'll struggle with depression and anxiety later but to know you'll have things you never thought you would and to appreciate them even if the things aren't what you may have wanted then but to go for the things you do want and eventually you'll get there. Thanks Tyler for the uplifting song. Really needed it after walking away from therapy feeling stuck in the past.
I think I'm finally ready to move forward and leave all my mistakes behind. This song came at the right moment..thank you Tyler❤
Tyler,. I have been a subscriber for years and this is one of your most powerful and soul touching songs! Your vonerablitity, honest, and bravery come through. Thank you for being real, being a role model, for not being perfect by media's standards, but being the beautifully imperfect human being you are, facing, learning and growing to be the best you for you and no one else! As an Adult Child of an Alcoholic, and still unlearning the family rules of growing up in dysfunction of don't trust, don't feel and don't talk, I will always be working on my own recovery through out my life. You have done very well for your self, continue on your life journey, and heres to you and wishing you the very best! Thank you again, be proud of yourself, and though we don't know each, but I can relate, for what it is worth, I am proud of you! Hugs and sending love from Maine! Geoff (Joff)
@@woofenme1596 thank you Joff for your sweet words! You got this too, I believe in you!
Definitely came at the right moment for me just now ❤️
I was rhinking about the same thing 💜
Wow Tyler this is incredible! I’ve listened to your music for 10 years and you have a real gift at capturing these sorts of feelings, you frame it in a kind and positive way. Just want to say I really really admire you! Love from NZ
I cry every time I listen to this song love yah🇿🇼
There might be less likes but all the comments and likes are meaningful as your song has touched their souls.
Powerful song of self-transformation. Thank you.❤ God bless.
As someone who has been following you since 2011 or 2012, I love this song and this video. It is so raw and real. "I never thought I'd end up like this"...We have to remember that we haven't ended up like anything, yet, because our journey isn't over. All the uphill battles and downhill falls we experience lead us to becoming the best versions of ourselves.
I still tear up every time I see this video and hear this song.
This hit me hard cause I dont forgive myself for the stuff I've done in my life that I thought were the worst things I could do to those around me. It's easier to forgive others than it is yourself. Thanks Tyler for making this song
I still have trouble forgiving myself after years of therapy. It's so easy for me to trust others and forgive then but I can't trust myself or forgive myself very well. But I'm getting better. And Tyler and everyone's comments help ❤️
@@CORKY247 you can get this! :)
Tyler Ward will never change for me. The Best of the best on UA-cam. Come back, Please
The honesty.... gawd darn brave. Thank you
Thank God I heard this song today.
Amazing Tyler. We all need to love ourselves. Forgiveness has to begin within.
Missed you Tyler. Great Video, Great Song. Thank you
Thank you for being brave to share this!! I know so many of us can relate to wanting to forgive ourselves and let go.
why is this not viral!!!? Tyler this was some of your best work. keeping you in my prayers
I needed this so much. I can't thank you enough for making this
“How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”
Luke 6:42 NIV
For those who read the description of the video and wondering where (possibly) Tyler heard the concept before :). But really deep song too with a lot of my own demons that I am facing too. Thanks for the song!
Love this song, great original. Don't let yourself be held down by regret, learn from it and move on...the only failures we have in life is not the mistakes we made/make/are going to make (even if we make them over and over again) but not recognising them, not learning from them and not letting go of the bad feelings/memories they left lingering. I've only followed you through YT for +10 years and from what I've seen (it's not really based on a lot, just what I see occasionally on your social media) you've become a wonderful human being. Thanks for sharing your great musical gift with the world!!

I already loved this song, but this video made it so much more real to me! Definitely stealing your idea and am going to start writing things down. Seems like an amazing step towards full healing! Praying for you as you walk this out!
True. So true. The video made us feel like we are with him while he live this song
Agree. And i think i can forgive my self a little with writing them down. Thanks tyler.
Btw, great song💕
Thank you for writing, singing, recording and uploading such a raw, no-frills MV, Tyler! Hits hard and hits home, especially when I am in the midst of de-addicting (if there's such a word) from some of my addictions. Not the easiest thing on earth to be completely honest about the extend of one's flaws on social media, for sure, but I am thankful for the authenticity that you have been displaying in your videos. May the good Lord continue to use you as one of His many instruments to write beautiful, relatable, authentic music for His glory!
Dear Tyler,
Thank you for allowing us to follow your journey for over 10 years and thank you for touching thousands and thousands of people with your music... especially the one that’s most important... you!
Thank you,
Tony
Hey Tyler,
Just wanted to let you know I've been a fan for at least 10 years and a lot in this world has change. To watch how you have grown, made mistakes or bad thing happen to yoh, admitted to it, and making it through those things only shows that you're human and not afraid to show your fans that "hey I go through this too, and I struggled but I made it through". It is really amazing. The plus side is that it helps you come up with some really great songs.
I watched my sister struggling with drug addiction, and she always had this saying "With every struggle comes strength". She struggled, nearly lost her life in 2013, got clean, and the damage was already done, she died in 2016..
I hope that you continue to make amazing songs and always know that even though you may feel alone that someone out there is watching your videos and have went through that too because you are not alone.
Your songs and covers are beautiful
The humility in this song is priceless! I'd always admire Tyler for writing this song.
I’ve been watching you since your first video, and man, you continue to help me grow more and more everyday. Your music has literally saved me on more than one occasion.
I literally cried while watching this. The best musical creations really originate from life experience. Life is too short.
Wow! Powerful song, powerful video. Thank you for sharing this with us 🙏
LOVE.
Wow. Just. Wow...
Dear Tyler, I hope this helped you let it all go. Everyone has their demons and it's hard to let go. This video showed how to do it gracefully. Much love to you. You are uber talented.
Hi Dawn 👋 I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your profile tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement.

Thank you for beautiful meaning song...
Beautiful.
such an amazing and powerful song .....
How beautiful ❤️ your voice is like heaven 🥰
Tyler i love this song
this is soooo powerful
Thank you for your music!
I bursted into tears because of this song... :( We all had those mistakes. And yes we have the right to choose to learn.
i'm in tears. Thank you T for your honesty and bravery in this mv. I can't love this more. Got me tearing, giggling and bawling.. learning to accept and forgive ourselves takes so much courage esp to face our shame and fears head on. Thank you for letting us in on your courageous journey :((
Thank you!
Thank you for being so raw and real. Appreciate everything about you
Dang.... This is DEEP... what a honest video too.. wow!
I have been listening to your music for more than a decade already, you inspire me lot and made me realize it's okay to make mistakes, they make us stronger. God bless us. ❤️
Loved it. It moved me. That is rare.
It is so sad when we hit the realization of our mistakes. But there’s a blessing in that sadness. In that realization. So many people never even see it, and most of the ones that do see it unfortunately ignore it. You are strong, my friend. And I know from following you over the past decade that you have God in your life. Welcome to forgiveness, my brother. It truly is such a beautiful blessing. You are strong! You have brought so much inspiration to my life since day one. You inspired me to pursue writing of my own and to spread hope through music. I’ve always wanted to thank you for that, and now I know how. I WILL be praying for you, my friend. God Bless!
Wow. No more words. 👏🏻
a life changing song tyler thank you for that!
His love endures forever.
I’m one year too late in seeing your newly released song! Lol
I was pumped to see you had something more recent when I checked your channel here. After listening to the song, I can definitely say I hear your heart in it and it’s very thought provoking. I’ve been thinking about writing therapy (opposed to talk therapy, as it is said to be most effective in healing from past trauma and hardship). I think I will use your “Dear Self” idea and write all of those notes in my journal as I go through reconciling with myself. Thank you for being brave and doing this song! I hope to hear even more from you. You are a GREAT artist! Keep writing. Keep singing. God bless you. (And thank you for all your other music too!)
I can't quite put words to everything I'm feeling, but thank you for this song and this video. I wish I could like it a thousand times.
Thank you for this song ~
It's hard to forgive others, but it's harder to forgive myself.
I am sorry that I have been hurted so much, that I thought I can never ever trust someone again. And that made me hurting and mistrusting others.
This song is pure inspiration. 💚💯%
This song hits diff... i literally watched it 10000 times now. Insane😳💗
Beautiful!
Amazing song Tyler! Very well written. And it hits deep!
This is powerful! So appreciative of your vulnerability and for sharing parts of yourself that so many of us relate to. Forgiving yourself is a big step of freedom we can achieve having first accepted Christ's forgiveness, and this is a vivid illustration of the profound grace of God. Thankful for you brother!
Powerful
Tears
Still listening to you after all these years. Your songs feel different than most. They hit different. They come from the deepest parts of your soul and you're so vulnerable here and always. Thanks for always being one of those artists I can keep coming back to you and still get those same feelings. Love you, Tyler.
I am so proud of you Tyler for releasing this. You should be soo proud of yourself as well. We have all made mistakes. It is part of our journey. Everyone's is different. God Bless ❤
To be totally honest I liked some of Tyler's old stuff years back, not really a fan of anything he's put out since. BUT, that being said, I know plenty of other people love all the stuff he's made.
It's wild to me this video is only getting 2k views when his old ones would get millions, definitely a super talented dude who deserves more recognition!
Without sounding too dramatic, let me just say a few months ago I fell into an incredibly dark black hole mentally, given the current state of the world. In the months since, I've slowly been finding my way out of it and still am, and I'm... Scared and skeptic of my future. Discovering this song helps me in the crawl out of the hole, as it makes for a sense of relatability, and comfort in the sense knowing one is not alone... Thanks for this song Tyler! 🦋
You sang this song straight from your heart and soul. It is so genuine, and truly touching. There are so many struggles people are facing right now and so many people can relate to your lyrics. I love the concept of your video, writing letters to yourself and letting go of the past. I still struggle with letting go of my past. This video was very refreshing and offered a sense of renewal to letting go and looking forward to the future. Thank you for sharing your story!
Dude you are in a good place I am sure... realisation is first step to do great things...and u would...just stay strong and awesome...you will be always cool 👍
I missed you, Tyler. We all did. Glad to have you back.
Tyler Ward ever since I saw your first video on UA-cam which was about 10 years ago, I felt like I have this connection with you. It was this magical connection wherein I could feel what you felt by just listening to your music and also your blogs. I have been there while you were struggling with addiction, your songs about your parent's divorce, Christina's death, and whatnot. Honestly what you've been through is immense and heartbreaking but you've come out stronger. You definitely have a taught me the logic behind false expectations that we tend to have from our love lives because of this rom-com culture, the importance of holding on to your virginity until you feel like it's really really with the right person, etc. In short, you're literally amongst the very few people who kind of framed me to be me today and have my own thought process. I genuinely understand how tough it must've been for you to release this song but as usual, you've made me fall more in love with your authenticity and your honesty. Hoping you have an absolutely amazing life ahead T. Love you so much :')

I needed this.
Excellent!
@TylerWard
I'm not sure I can do it, what you're asking me to do for me, making eye contact with my brokenness. But with your song and this super brave video, you lead by example. It's so encouraging. Thank you for what you've been able to do for yourself, thank you for being so brave that you shared it with people all over the world (so that I could see this too, being in-between).
...
Thank you.
This is heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time 🥺
