Frr this was the song I didn't know I need!! Ps. I love your Omori pfp
"and right there i knew you would bleed" , a best friend can only know it ....
the lyrics , your voice , visuals everything just gave me goosebumps!!!

The way “I tried to help you out, now I know that I can’t, cause how you think’s the kinda thing I’ll never understand” works both for the original and this perspective is so heartbreaking
OH MY GOD I WAS LITERALLY LOOKING FOR A COMMENT LIKE THIS!
It breaks my heart that the friend blames the original song's main character so much for the abuse. Though, of course, the friend hurt watching it all, too. The lyrics are incredibly well-crafted and the vocals are beautiful!!!
Ya it’s not very informed on DV and such.. and a best friend wouldn’t rub her face in the pain.
I don't think she blames her friend, just talks about her perspective
It's a beautifully crafted rewrite. I know what it's like to be that best friend, and I know what it's like to be the person who can't be saved. It's so hard putting in so much effort to tear someone you love and care about away from the walking red flag they're delusional for. After it ends, the best friend is allowed to be salty and the one who couldn't be saved is allowed to be hurt.
I agree, the lyrics rubbed me off the wrong. A bit of smug I told you so and a lot of victim blaming. I don't fw that at all
Acknowledging that MC was stupid and made a wrong decision does not equal to blaming her for the actions of her boyfriend. Further, the MC insulted her BFF in favor of her toxic bf. The BFF is allowed to feel betrayed and it was well-expressed in the lyrics.
“You called them crazy God I the way you called me crazy too” THIS LINE HIT WAY TO HARD how did you do this I love this song now ❤
this line literally gave me chills 😭
Fr frr

IKR! (just so you know you missed the word hate in between I and way) ❤ have a nice day!
@@spam.meisubi same that hit a bit too deep.....
I love the way you wrote it, It perfectly portrays how a best friend would feel, also your voice is so beautiful
thank you so much!! >•

"he always hid from the sun, and right there i knew you would bleed" is an amazing lyric
"I hate to give the satisfaction asking how you're doing now" relatable.
Here's the lyrics beshy❤
I hate to give the satisfaction
Asking how you're doing now
How's the castle built off people who just wanna help you out
now that it's haunted
Well you got what was comin'
I see the parties and the diamonds sometimes when I close my eyes
Six months of torture
That he sold me as some forbidden paradise
You loved him truly
Can't help but laugh at the stupidity
I warned you right from day one
But you never listened to me
He always hid from the sun
And right there I knew you would bleed
I always thought you were smart
But you let him make you look weak
I watched him sell you like art
As he tore you up at the seams,
Oh, bloodsucker, fame lover
Bleedin' you dry like a goddamn vampire
And every girl you ever talked to told you he was bad, bad news
You called them crazy
God I hate the way you called me crazy too
How condescending
He messed you up yet you defend him
Oh, what a mesmerizing, paralyzing
Foolish little thrill
Can't figure out just how he did it
And god knows we never will
After all that he chose her
Do you still think you know better?
I warned you right from day one
But you never listened to me
He always hid from the sun
And right there I'll I knew you would bleed
I always thought you were smart
But you let him make you look weak
I watched him sell you like art
As he tore you up at the seams,
Oh, bloodsucker, fame lover
Bleedin' you dry like a goddamn vampire
You said it was true love
You took it way too far
He can't love anyone 'cause in the end he broke your heart
I tried to help you out
Now I know that I can't
'cause how you think's the kinda thing
I'll never understand
I warned you right from day one
But you never listened to me
He always hid from the sun
And right there I knew you would bleed
I always thought you were smart
But you let him make you look weak
I watched him sell you like art
As he tore you up at the seams,
Oh, bloodsucker, fame lover
Bleedin' you dry like a goddamn vampire
Thank you
these aren’t accurate
Thank you cuz I know you spent a long time doing this but why would we need it she shows the lyrics right there😅😊😂
😅not really needed but Ty anyways
.
Please do a cover of “what was I made for” !! I think it would sound great on your voice
OMG YESSS
Yessss
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
yesss
I will literally cry yesss
i really connected to vampire, i listened to it after realising the guy i broke up with assaulted me numerous times across the span of six months. i wish i had close friends to look out for me who i could confide in, i had no idea anything was wrong and now i'm left to deal with it all alone. maybe i'm projecting but these lyrics broke my heart, i would be crushed inside if someone told me it was my fault, it was my first relationship and he truly made me feel like my wants didn't matter.
❤
"How you think's the kinda thing I'll never understand" I felt this in my soul. I had a friend who admitted to me her boyfriend was emotionally and verbally abusive. I had even been there for a few nasty fights and him being condescending. Many of us advised her to leave him. And now they're engaged. Im not in her life like I was, but God I'm so acared for her
ua-cam.com/video/Fa6AvX9eido/v-deo.htmlsi=Oa763DxOtBHjpp9s
You can only hope that she finally will see she's worth more, and do what she can to leave. I know it's hard, but try to be there for her when/if she does need it. Many people in abusive relationships feel very isolated, and the abuser usually wants that to happen to make them more likely to stay.
there's nothing you can do much,, really.. i've been there and most of the times they won't listenn to you, bcs they're very much in love with that person. love make them believe that whatever the partner does, its for love. also, its not easy to move on from a person whom you love dearly no matter how bad they treat you. because once you overlove them its hard to turn back. although i wish your friend the best :(
I swear, your voice is magical and gifted! This was mesmerising, the way you wrote it, your voice, everything!
thank you!!!😩🩷
@@sambenwickI love ur singing
Olivia needs to see this!! THIS WAS SO GOOD ✨
@Your.fav.Tori We need to see the best friend Conan gray do this with her
@@izzimationwho are you talking to…your the first reply..
@@Sonyyy27they deleted the comment, after they replied. Also we got the same name
REAL
This hits really hard especially since I'm dealing with my best friend now moving in with the toxic guy I told her to not date and I'm watching her fade away little by little. I was surprised when I saw this video pop up on my recommended but it all made sense from just the first few lines. You have amazing talent and your voice is so soft and angelic. I'm definitely subscribing so I don't miss anything. Thank you for this.
Same here.
yes this happened to me
I warned her , she didn’t listen
Haven’t seen the person I used to tell all my secrets to since
Olivia Rodrigo need to do a colab with this ASAP. its truly amazing
YOUR VOICE IS ACTUALLY MAJESTICAL
ua-cam.com/video/Fa6AvX9eido/v-deo.htmlsi=Oa763DxOtBHjpp9s
As someone who was in a manipulative relationship back in high school I had friends who made me feel crazy after the fact. I don't totally know what vampire is originally about but if it's related to abuse or manipulation I don't recommend making your friends feel like it's their fault in real life (outside of the context of a song).
it's more about a friend who tried to warn her other friend about the red flags of the man she was falling for but was betrayed by this same friend who chose the new guy over her calling her crazy but yet finding out she was wrong. and no not all the bad partners are manipulative or abusive you know, sometimes they hurt your feelings for leaving or not feeling as invested or even for seeking more than you can give. still not a reason to bertay the ones who were always by your side when you just chose to ignore the red flags... we can't blame our friends for feeling bad after letting them down, their feelings are just as valid as ours after a bad break up, even more since we were in the wrong for letting them down over someone we knew was bad news. moreover, when you listen to the lyrics you can understand that the friend singing is actually feeling bad for her friend and kinda comforting her and making her realize that she is partly responsible of her pain since she made the bad choices.
A vamp is a supernatural being who is immortal except when in the sun , garlic repulses them and some metals . They suck ppl's blood cuz they dont hv it themselves.
They are really charismatic and mesmerizing and can do hypnosis soo yea
i completely get that but i have a friend who is currently in a toxic and manipulative relationship and refuses to acknowledge or see it for what it is. being in the relationship is terrible but you dont know how hard it is to watch your best friend go through that and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. this version definitely hits home. it's interesting to hear it from a new perspective.
agreed. very victim-blamey lyrics lol
@@soobinsdolphin @d.amiaka9710 these are insightful responses thank you! I think when the partner is abusive and/or manipulative they're working hard to make sure that the other partner doesn't see what they're doing which is why they can turn on their family/friends. Your experiences are very valid on your end and definitely would be hard. It's not a reason to "betray" as you said however I was more so meaning that when that friend is out of a toxic relationship and they come to you it's best to talk about how you felt and what you went through but to not make them feel that the abuse was their fault.
"I warned you right from day 1," a quote that wont be forgotten.
“He can’t love anyone ‘cause in the end he broke your heart” are just perfect
I was supporting Sam since day 1, I was there when she hit 1 thousand followers. I was supporting her before when she only have over 500 followers and she even noticed me here on youtube before. I can't believe she's a big singer now, she's successful now. I am so proud of her and her twin sister. I still listen to her old songs, my favorite songs. I play them all the time especially when I'm so down. Her voice and songs are my medicine. One of the songs i love is the "I can't sleep at night" that she wrote 2 years ago. I'm so proud of you, Sam ❤️🩹
"devil doesn't bargain" is a song that is basiclly this POV in a song, and it's amazing, I highly recomend it
I really love Alec benjamin voice and musjc

Lyrics
I hate to give the satisfaction asking how you’re doing now
How’s the castle built off people who just wanna help you out
Now that it’s haunted
Well you got what was coming
I see the parties and the diamonds sometime when I close my eyes
Six months of torture that he sold as some forbidden paradise
You loved him truly
Can’t help but laugh at the stupidity
I warned you right from day 1
but you never listened to me
He always hid from the sun
And right there I knew you would bleed
I always thought you were smart
But you let him make you look weak
I watched him sell you like art
As he tore you up at the scene oh,
Bloodsucker
Fame lover
Bleeding you dry like a - vampire
And every girl you ever talked to
Told you he was bad bad news
You called them crazy , god I hate the way
You called me crazy too, how condescending
He messed you up yet you defend him
Oh what a mesmerizing ,paralyzing foolish
Little trill can’t figure out just how he did it
And god knows we never will, after all that
he chose her
do you still think you know better
I warned you right from day one but you never listened to me
He always hid from the sun
And right there I knew you would bleed
I always thought you were smart
But you let him make you look weak
I watched him sell you like art
As he tore you up at the scene oh,
Bloodsucker
Fame lover
Bleeding you dry like a - vampire
You said it was true love
You took it way to far
He can’t love anyone,
Cause in the end he broke your heart
I tried to help you out
Now I know that I can’t
Cause how you thinks the kinda
Thing I’ll never understand
I warned you right from day 1
But you never listened to me
He always hid from the sun
And right there I knew that you would bleed
I always thought you were smart
But you let him make you look weak
I watched him sell you like art
As you tore you up at the seams
Oh bloodsucker
Fame lover
Bleeding you dry like a - vampire
i love u man! i was searching for this TYSM!!
OMG!!! Thank you soooo much for the lyrics ❤❤
It hurts sm when they leave you for him because you tried to tell them he wasn't a good person...n they end up getting hurt n come back to you but it's never the same again because of how they treated you.
Absolutely, you find out they’ve been betraying you WITH their toxic partner by talking bad about you only for them to come back to you when they realize that the advices they laughed at was the right one, after I found out, I never gave my friend another advice even when she asked for them.
I love the way you portrayed an angry best friend that was hurt by the way she was treated but pained at seeing her bff be put through that when it could have been avoided 😢
Her voice and the fact that she looks like she could be Olivia’s younger sister or something is just ✨❤️
"but you let him look you make you look weak" is just🔛🔝🛐
“Do you still think you❤ know better” such a little rhetorical moment that’s like a little tough love❤❤❤ line. 😊
It's a little grating to me - in the original song she admits fully that she was wrong not to listen to her friends. So now the friend just turns around to rub her face in it more even though she already admitted she was wrong. Feels kind of gross to me.
WHY IS THIS NOT VIRAL?? YOUR VOICE IS SPECTACULAR, THE WRITING IS AMAZING AND THE POV IDEA IS SO GOOD TO! Btw you’re so pretty❤
your voice is beautiful, and these writing skills are incredible. "i warned you right from the start, but you never listened to me" hits hard.
Amazing job. I had chills the entire time. And the way you kept it soft and lowkey made it feel like they're just hurt, not actually angry unlike their best friend who is angry at themselves for not listening. Brilliant contrast. Thank you for your art ❤️🔥
Watching my friend fall apart in his hands and watching her say "it fines, it's just a rough patch, he loves me" breaks my heart
your lyrics fit so well into the song, and your voice is so delicate yet emotionally powerful
This is exactly how I feel about my mom. We just got out of a bad situation with an abusive stepdad, and seeing someone I thought was so strong fall so hard... This song hit way too close to home.
ua-cam.com/video/Fa6AvX9eido/v-deo.htmlsi=Oa763DxOtBHjpp9s
“But you never listened to me.” Very true...🙁
“He messed u up yet u defend him” hit hard
Oh my god you are a genius! The songwriting was beautiful but how you sang blew me away! I understand the nuances of each note, each note change, inflection of each word in the actual song, so much more clearly and deeply because of how you sang your wonderful version. Thank you for your incredible work!
First: you sound so much like Olivia Rodrigo and second: this is a masterpiece!!
"you said it was true love, you took it way to far, he cant love anyone cause in the end he broke your heart" THAT HITS SO HARD girly how did u do this 😭😭😭❤ i love this sm
I love the lyric "he alaways hid from the sun and right I knew u would bleed"
Damn, as someone who’s been through this countless times with friends I have to say this song hits hard. It’s endlessly frustrating to see them make the same mistakes over & over again & not listen to you (even when they explicitly ask for your council). Amazing job, your take on the lyrics & your voice are absolutely lovely :)
True😞
ur voice is literally so peaceful,and the way u wrote it is so beautiful and it shows how someone can love someone so much that it can change u and brain wash u and the way u said”and right there i knew u would bleed”shows how u can try to change them but they don’t listen because they love them and this song shows how love can be dangerously amazing and just scary.DAM,caz like it literally made me want to cry so yea,amazingly written and amazing,and beautiful lyircs
the lyrics are so, SO creative and your voice is just the cherry on top
"i tried to help you out , now i that i can't , cause how you think the kinda thing i'll never understand " these lines really hit me 🥲
I relate to the lyrics so much. I had a friend who had a toxic af bf and i warned her that he was gonna be the reason we were gonna end things. They broke up after few months but she never forgot abt him and even flirted with him while she was in a relationship with a guys who would do anything for her. So we ended things. It hurts but i kinda glad bc she was toxic too
At this point you should just be the next Olivia Rodrigo! Olivia Rodrigo needs to see this!

He always hid from the sun is GOLD✨✨ your voice is so pretty
I usually never write comments, but this time I really have to.
Your voice is so soft and calm and you are so prettyyyy!
It's my first time watching your videos and gosh! I am happy that UA-cam recommended this video to me!
Keep it up!!!🩷🩷🩷

GOOSEBUMPS EVERYWHERE omg.. your voice is so beautiful, thank you for blessing me today
“I warned you right from day one,I watched him sell you like art” That was beuatiful!
When she picks up the dog 😂 👏
Th lyrics are so well written, def pictures how this song would b from a best friend's pov.
I... I have no words.. this is a masterpiece, I'm almost crying.. are you an angel? this is amazing ✨️
it's very funny how parents manage to recognize "fake friends" of their children they may never have met... but they can't recognize the anxiety and depression of their own children who have been with them since they were born
Best friend: use your things and forget to give it back to u❤
Friend: uses it and gives it back
Best friend: laughs at u when u fall❤
Friend: helps u up and asked if u are ok
Best friend: WILL NEVER leave u for someone else❤
Friend: might find someone better then u and leave u
Best friend: WILL always stick up too u and always have your back❤
Friend: might find a excuse and leave u in a bad situation
Best friend: when u get hurt it hurts them more seeing u sad ❤
Friend: Comforts u
NOTE: one best friend is better then any amount of friends. Best friend will always look out for u and will do there best to keep u safe❤
sam's voice is so angelic. if i had atleast a quarter of her talent, i would be singing nonstop. love you so much
She’s so beautiful and so is her voice ❤ these lyrics hit hard.
this is somewhat relatable to me coz of how my best friend goes out with random people online and i always tell her not to but she never listens, gets hurt, and comes to me for comfort when she shouldve listened to me.
This just hit different and I keep playing this on loop
I’m a little late for this vid but I absolutely loved it the way you changed the lyrics was so clever I could clearly understand that it was a whole different perspective even if I didn’t see the title, amazing job ❤
OMG girl i have been playing this on loop for a month now im so obsessed that i remember lyrics of your verison more than the original lol also original sounds like a cover to me help-
I just love the vibe of this cover like its so i have no words😭😭
you'll never under staaaaaaaaaannnnd hit me right in the feels
"I watched him sell you like art as he tore you up at the seams" - the AMOUNT OF EMOTION filled in this sentence is just 🤌! I really love how you wrote this version...
this is beautiful. thank you for making this, the flutters in your voice make it 10x more emotional.
the worst part to me is that me and my best friend were going through the same situation at the same time... and we couldn't talk to each other to get some help... wonderful video
these lyrics hit right at the heart! Love the song!
You have a gorgeous voice! I think I like this version even better than the original.
these lyrics are perfect, it really gets the message across
also your voice is so pretty
This is beautiful! I saw it on TikTok, the full version is amazing!!❤❤
Your voice is beautiful!!❤❤
this is everything, i'm obsessed. i love your voice, i love the new lyrics, i love your setup. everything is just perfect 💕
You are amazing. So extremely talented. Your lyrics hit right where they’re supposed to. Thank you
Love your voice, so sweet and soothing 😭 and the change in lyrics💓🥺 i can relate to this with my friends too, i've been the one who always to warn them about things but they never listen and when it is actually happening like what i said they just keep denying and ignoring my advices...good, i cut them all off now
omg we need more “friends pov” songs!! this is too good
"i warned you right from day one," has me
I fuc*ing cried while hearing this song. You are incredible and i could relate to the lyrics so much😭♥
This feels really victim blame-y 😞 Honestly until you are in an abusive situation you will never understand why it is so complicated & hard to get out of. Half the time you don't even realize it was abuse until you are out of it. I know it is frustrating as a best friend watching someone be abused, but please try to keep your anger at the actual abuser, they are the ones manipulating your friend into taking their abuse (and possibly scaring them into silence/ acceptance). Your voice is lovely and of course everyone needs to create art to express their own personal feelings, but as someone who has been in a situation like Olivia describes, if my "best friend" was singing about how my abuse was my fault, it would shatter me. "I told you so" is pretty harsh on top of dealing with the actual abuse itself. Again, unless you've lived through it, it's really impossible to understand how incredibly hard it is to leave, or even realize abuse is happening when it's happening.
This isn't victim blaming, it's being written from the perspective of the best friend of this person. It's not to be written as how the victim suffered, it's the best friends pov of it😭 Obviously the victim suffered it's just that that's the point of the actual song.
I thought so too glad im not going insane LOL
@@LaurEilish "I hate to give the satisfaction asking how you're doing now", "well you got what was coming" "can't help but laugh at the stupidity" is absolutely rubbing it in the victim's face that they didn't listen to their friend. "I always thought you were smart but you LET him make you look weak"... this is some crappy friendship. I had a best friend who chose an abusive partner over our friendship because I said I would not spend time around him. It really hurt but I would never say "I told you so" now that they've broken up years later. She deserved so much better but she didn't feel that way during the abuse. Victim blaming only makes it worse.
@@goldfishcrayon Pretty sure nobody would say that
oh my god why is your voice so beautiful🥰
aaahh thank u! >•
Literally! I’m in love ❤❤❤
@@sambenwickfr tho it’s beautiful like i thought it was Olivia Rodrigo singing in the start but no like girl u just slayed❤❤❤
This is literally so good.but tbh this is relatable, I tried warning my friends but ofc no one listens to me because I’m the forgotten left out friend, the least favourite friend.
Her voice makes me think of an angel mourning for a friend, dripping with honey, it really sounds sweet! Thank you for this, I loveeeee this!
Ok, but her VOICEEEEEE this is so smart and the fact you didn't just take the original lyrics and change them up a bit, you actually made it original and I love it so much!!!
I love how her voice sounds and how she slowed some parts down to match her voice speed
Wow. I feel this too much. I tried to help my now ex best friend get out of a manipulative relationship similar to this and they just pushed me so far away and said I was crazy, they never apologized for that and all of the shit they said about me when I was just trying to help.
She’s beautiful, good at singing, a good friend what else is she capable of!
That’s brilliant - the rewrite, your voice, just everything! So amazing 💖
this was written so well and you’re voice is just so soothing
I relate to this song on a spiritual level because my best friend was like this but even worse, they were best friends for 5 years and but he changed. They fought 3 times now but she's still desprate for a friendship with him again and I feel like I hadn't advised her enough to move on because she's still sad about it and now she knows its wrong but she's so desprate that she will forgive him a hundred more times just to be friends with him again. She hates him but misses him at the same time.
Also your singing is beautiful🤧🤩
“He always hid from the sun, and right there I knew you would bleed” wow 🥶
This was written so beautifully, exactly what I needed. I love it so much.
this version is soo beautiful ahhhhh
chills.. LITERAL CHILLS.
I'm sorry but you are drop-dead gorgeous💕💕
Literally speechless looked you straight up on spotify and heard your originals and now i think ive lost the ability to speak. Your so motivating and inspiring, keep doing what your doing its working !
You and you’re voice are so beautiful and thank you so much I love this!
The “I watched him sell you like art” HITS HARD 😤
Ur so underrated like this version is perfect just like the original one ur version deserve better
truly calming and soothing voice you have
girl you’re so good at conveying emotions like i had tears in the eyes
ua-cam.com/video/Fa6AvX9eido/v-deo.htmlsi=Oa763DxOtBHjpp9s
This would go so well in an fmv for heartbeat (the kdrama) omg
“do you still you know better?” fits perfectly!! my best friend always said that she know him better while i know him just little bit longer than her, now i watch her collapse
