My wife thinks I’m depressed because I like sad songs such as this one. I’m not depressed, I’ve just been through a lot in my life and these type of songs remind me of certain hard times that I made it through. Thank you Lord for never leaving my side.
Mark Balaam you’re right, sometimes we become numb and forget how to feel, then something as simple as a song can totally remind you that you are in fact human and have more feelings than you ever knew.
I’ve been married to the love of my life and best friend since I was 18. We’ve been married 13 years this year. All of which he’s been in the army. 4 deployments in a very dangerous job.... he’s got a Purple Heart and has nearly died too many times.... the physical death he survived but over our marriage, I’ve slowly watched the man I have loved all of my adult life die a little more each time he left us and came home. He’s always been an amazing husband and father but I saw the changes. Barely... but saw them. In October of last year, he out of the blue asked for a divorce. Said he hadn’t loved me for a long time and he just wanted me to move on... that I deserved more. I begged and pleaded like I never have before.... but he stood firm. Fast forward to me packing our kids and preparing to me.... I discover that he was planning on killing himself and didn’t want me to blame myself so if I thought he didn’t love me, it wouldn’t hurt me so much. And he didn’t want me to find him..... the man who has always held me up and made me laugh, who has loved me at my worst, thought we would be better off without him... that he was too broken for us.... I’ve always loved this song.... but now it has a meaning for my that is heart wrenching. I think of my husbands mental resilience weakening deployment after deployment. I think of me staying in the fires of hell so that I can give him comfort and get him through the pain. It’s knowing how everything we thought we knew was burned up in flames, scorched and left blackened.... to withstand the fires, hold him through the nightmares, do anything to make him feel safe. I’ll never hear this song and not hurt. I still have my husband and he has decided to medically retire but we have so many things to work through and we both need each other to do it. Love this song so much
Wow, this hit me so hard! I have chills that wont stop. I hope you and your husband remain strong and get through this fire. I'm bawling......you are a very incredibly strong person, the world needs that!
Coming from someone who has seen what war can bring and the happiness from coming home but then watching reality sink in and resentment take hold I pray for you, I pray for him and most importantly I pray for your family bc loving a man who loves others lives more than his own will never be easy. God bless you
I introduced this song to my granddaughter who wanted to be a singer and even though it was not her genre she liked it enough to make a self recording, a beautiful strong acapella which was played at her funeral a few weeks later..I love you Lexi ❤
This song was on the radio. I was waiting in the car line to pick up my children from school. I'll never forget it. I began to cry. I felt broken. This was years ago, but I remember it vividly.
I was in the car with my son it came on the radio every hair on my body stood on end my eyes filled up out of my control it just happened it was like she played my heart when I heard it. My little one asked are you ok dad I told him just perfect I'm crying because this woman touches every emotion in life in one song. This is without a doubt one of the truest most perfect songs I've ever heard in my life...I shazamed it straight away now I have it for life.
Sometimes it doesn't matter how GOOD, loyal or in love you are....once your expiration date comes love turns into hell..sometimes we love so truly that it destroys us
Reading through the comments, this song has touched so many people, myself included. What a blessing it is that one person's words and emotions are transformed into song and passed on to resonate with and touch millions of people. It's a ripple effect of profound emotional movement. Thank you Cam being a beacon in the lives of many. ♥️♥️♥️
collin marques I do, I just prefer country music from the late 90's to the mid 2000's. There are still good country songs being made, but they're some-what few and far between, in my opinion. I don't really like the pop/rap aspects that are found in a lot of the recent country songs.
+GreatToastMigration I see where you're coming from. I like both new country and older. But then again I'm a teenager so I like rap and hip-hop but I grew up with country so I like both types of music. I do however want country to stay country so I hope it doesn't change too much more.
Sang this to my brother before he got real sick and then sang it to him some more while he was fighting to live .. he passed 3/17/18 and I sang it to him one last time after he had passed . I miss you so much already bubba .. it’s killing my heart . But I’m trying to find comfort in knowing your with my son now and you’ve got your angel wings 💖💔😪
This song made me cry for a few years after I got divorced. It’s like amazing at how emotional the song makes you as you feel the words. This is amazing music.
I could never understand why I am so addicted to the ache inside that swallows me whole when I listen to songs this deep and touching. But I love it. The ache and the song.
I'm the Exact same way... Even though it hurts, there's something almost, like, comforting about it though. Lol, maybe I'm just a masochist but it's better than being numb...
I've been fighting depression/ anxiety for 10 years. Coincidentally since my wife kicked me out. I left everything. I just found this song, while looking for a female rendition of "I'm on fire" maybe even done a little different. The vid the words, damn..... I will be damned. A flood. The wetness. DAMN. The emotions still haven't stopped. She WAS my forever. I've been so hard on myself. It's got to end, I want to live, I've been learning, to admit, speak, acknowledge. Heal. Works for me. I'm so very thankful it found me. Thank you so much.
I think it’s a beautiful loves on about someone who love someone so much still stay with them until they’re better stay with them through anything like Romeo and Juliet I love it
this song came out months after I went through a house fire. I. lost my dad because of it and would have dreams of him in a burning house. this song is how I felt. I cried when I first heard this song. I thank Cam for singing it, and I thank who ever wrote this.
My parents got divorced when I was a child. This song always brings up so many "what ifs" and 'Whys" and it tears me down. Now I get to see my father maybe once or twice every 10 years. My mother lives a lot closer but I probably have even less of a relationship with her. This song always brings up so many feelings that I just end up pushing down and drowning.
Maybe you helped me, bro. I got divorced too. Didn't want it but it's ok now. Still, I don't see my kids much because I have to go through their mom to do it. And feelings. Still, feelings. But maybe need to man up and just do it for their sake. It's been on my mind and seeing an adult (you) with this lament makes it more real for me.
I'm so sorry. Sometimes it's better that your parents got divorced. I know it sounds crazy, but I was so happy when my parents got divorced cuz I got tired of watching their toxic relationship & her getting wasted everyday & laying in bed & sometimes she'd come out of the room & verbally attack me & talked about wanting to die & tried to drown herself in our lake all cuz she felt forced to be in a relationship with my dad & I just stayed in my room & cried & got a stress ulcer at 12, but the crazy thing is when my mom divorced my dad when I was 17, she started cleaning up her act & tearfully apologized about driving drunk with me in the car as a kid & slapping me in the face & everything & she started smiling more. Now she lives in Florida (far far away from me)
I guess because I’m recovering (8 months sober on the 17th) and having been born a child of addiction, that’s what this song reminds me of. I lost my dad to an overdose and this song reminds me of him. I would walk through fire to be near him. It’s like holding someone when your whole world is blowing up. It’s okay to be burning alive because you get to be near the person for a little longer.
Try staying active. It helps physically and mentally. Hiking is great. Also maybe volunteer at a pet rescue place, you see the love in their eyes for coming to be with them. YOU CAN DO THIS!
Ruth Humphreys So true, the grief In loving someone unconditionally. Loving someone through their good and bad times. This song makes me sad and another one about loving someone this much is Fire Away by Chris Stapleton.
Well 2023 and I only just heard this song a few months ago. It is incredible how messages from God or our loved ones who have passed can come to us when we need them most. Music very clearly has the life changing ability to offer us healing. A good song can give you the words to which you didn't realize you needed to say and a way to process the emotion that comes with those words in order to hold space for them and move forward. To a healthier version of yourself. Once a song does that for you it can forever take you right back to the pain and the place we were in when we needed it most. Reminds us of how far we have come and what it has taken to get us here to who we are now. Beautiful song that I can say has a very personal meaning! One that some of you have commented on with similar stories. Some of you with very different ones. I know I will always have gratitude and respect for the music, the artist and the song! It will always be a part of me! ,, 💜💜💜 To anyone who can relate to this song... My thoughts prayers and well wishes are with you! No matter your story.... YOU ARE NEVER ALONE!
I have written/performed hardcore, emo, and pop-punk music for the last fifteen years. This song has had a chokehold on me since it came out - it doesn’t need to be this huge sounding, complex piece to hit the emotions it does. Forever one of the best songs ever written.
My mom passed away this was her favorite song i love u mommy - I really don't even remember writing this.. I was about 13-14 years old when this happened and this is honestly the first time Im reading the replies I didn't even know this comment existed until now... But I just wanted to say I just seen every single one of your replies and i really appreciate all of you. Thank you so so much...🖤 -April 2021
This song reminds me of my ex-husband. He was an alcoholic, and lost his life to his addiction last week. He was a great friend of mine since we were fourteen years old. Could not save him from his burning house. I wish I could have. I tried. His demons were too strong. "You were stuck inside. I couldn't get you out"
I'm so sorry love. I hope healing wraps you up in it's arms soon. When it reaches out for you, please reach back. People often shy away from healing and moving forward because they believe that they're doing a disservice or they're going to forget the past but that's not the case. Much love 💗
I'm so sorry luv. I completely understand I lost my husband who was my best friend and soul mate 7 years ago to his demons and I feel exactly like you. That I couldn't save him. I feel like I died the same night the only thing that kept me going is our son. I hope it gets better for you. Thoughts and prayers your way
My ex husband passed away 4 1/2 yrs ago unexpectedly. I would listen and sing this song before he had passed away and would pray that one day we'd be back together. Our youngest daughter, 7, the time of his passing, heard me listening to it came into my room and told me "daddy listen to this song all the time and thought about you. It broke my heart but confirmed our hearts were still yearning for each other. ❤❤
I love how everyone has shared their own personal stories in relation to this song. When I hear this song I think of my ex too. I loved him so much but he had so many anxieties and fears and just wouldn’t grow with me. As much as I loved him I made the decision to finally do what was best for me after 4 years. He was my best friend. I moved to Georgia and now... he’s lost without me and trying to find his way. When this song meant so much to me I thought I was going to burn in the house with him. But I had to choose me and couldn’t stay. I’ll always love him. I’m sorry bubba... You were stuck inside I couldn’t get you out....
I'm going through something similar. My fiance and broke it off not even a week ago. He's drinking so much He's been hospitalized about 2 months ago and our kids and I can no longer watch it. I had to walk away cause he isn't ready to get help. I know its best for us but my heart is broken.
Also going through something similar. Love him so much, but we’re toxic to each other. We’re in the exact same position we were in years ago, haven’t taken a single step forward. I had to leave because I just couldn’t do it anymore. “I could take you back but people don’t ever change” 💔
Unfortunately, we don't have a clock to go back in time and make the changes we all probably need to make at some point in our lives. Imagine being able to though? No one would learn from their "Mistakes and that would be an unfortunate thing, in my personal opinion. So you can't change anything and I know it's easier said than done but, if it's people you wronged for which ever reason maybe making amendments ? Healing relationships? Writing whom ever a letter? Writing yourself a letter and apologizing to yourself for being too hard on yourself ? (I feel to a certain extent we are our biggest critics and our own downfall. ) As hard as it may be, looking at the light at the end of the tunnel gets you through the darkness cause only until you're there will you notice the magnificent beauty of that LIGHT! Hope you're doing better now, 11 months later from your comment. If all else fails, God never will. Be safe and take care!
I’m not into country music for the most part but I keep going back to this song since it’s been released. Hauntingly beautiful, passionate vocals and just such an incredible piece of art!
Bob and Carol, he walked back in to the fire for her. VERY LITERALLY!!!!! Their screams stil bring tears in my nigutmares of losing love. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ No greater feeling that could force a deep desire for another that you would rather burn by their side than live the rest of yours without them. That AMAZING LOVE LOVE LOVE.!!!
How could anybody give this a thumb down? Both the song and the video are captivating. Not long ago, Nashville used to release quality songs like this on a regular basis; now it's mostly garbage on the radio. Thankfully, Cam has some chart success with this song.
Love the song, I feel like the video was a little disappointing with the antics and she was basically smiling throughout the vid which was off putting. I don't think the director did the song justice
+rockpaperscissors82 Oh realey? I couldn't even watch it; It's pandering. First off from a songwriters point of view, it's echoing Alison Krauss, some of it is strait from Whiskey Lullaby. The Songs are to similar in todays music, there are very few original melodies. The burning house thing has been done over a million times as well. No disrespect to the artist she probably totally clueless.
This song used to make me feel things I wanted to avoid. This is the first time I've listened to it and not have the overwhelming emotions. Healing happens. Stay strong out there!
Thank you. God knew that was exactly what I needed to read right this second. I know we only remember pain and trauma anxiety because it's not supposed to happen it's an affront to the survival instinct and so if you have been injured and it left a scar on your mind or body that is going to ricochet for a long time after the actual event, it is not because we're bad on broken to the point where we feel like we're not going to get over or past it... The hurt's are supposed to haunt us up to the point where we are not going to get in the situation that might have allowed us to be unsuspecting enough about whatever we carry.. we're not wired to expect trauma. That's not good humaning I know to have any other humans more vulnerable or innocent than how damaged their caretaker is, or careless it's just a kid might be really devastated when the hands that are there to feed them wipe running noses protect him suddenly get violent and there's so many kids that are just future cycles of dysfunction sitting on edge of seat, feeling their hearts speed up, trying to figure out how to not let the thing that hurt be able to hurt again ..... Got to tell my little brain it's not happening now it's not you're right it heals things are different it is today. A little resources a little more self-esteem and a little more autonomy I have. I have to remember survival and tell myself consciously that's not here anymore it's not happening now. In front of me. I can take care of situations that I wasn't able to before because I was a child or because I let somebody the rains and the house really did very down in my story and things were stolen things were violent you don't expect it because we're not supposed to behave that way. Now I just say be more careful I'll watch a little bit more cautiously who I allow in my space for which spaces I wander into. And I have a space that I can go to when I want to disengage from the world I can lock the door again. It's not burning now it's just my body my brain remembering that was so sad and so scary. No safe right now this minute. It'll go get better I am haunted but I don't want to give it that power anymore to look like an apparition when I accidentally see myself in the mirror and look 20 years older than I remember I should love. It's not forever it's not even happening now. The frame of her house was left because it was such an old house but whatever 70s overhaul renovation happened it was stuffed with so much Justice they never reported and somehow fireproofed the frame of the house so it looks like a doll's house I went to the house and it was an arson investigation sticker on the door that was otherwise open of course you can walk right in it was a skeleton of a house and I'm not a skeleton I'm not a ghost I have both of those things. But that doesn't mean I'm haunted I only have mine I only want mine and the holy Ghost and that's it I'm done no more. No more. My life didn't burn down there was some Phoenix energy in there somewhere taking a little while to rise from there.
From the very first moment I heard this song last night on TV , a deep sense of nostalgia touched my heart. Making me feel a combination of sadness and inner peace, the song showed me life is not a bed of roses but we must go on.
When I was on meth and so was my loved one. This song was the closest thing that I could explain how I felt I’ve been clean 2 years now my life has changed. We are still together we bought a home and we are happier than we ever been but I will never forget this song because it’s so true when you are in drugs like that you are sleepwalking, and too close to the fire❤
Still missing you babe. You were my best friend. I wish you were still here with me. Things haven't been the same without you. I need you. I died the day you left. It's been years but I still think of you all day every day. I still think of the way I'd hold you at night, and kiss your forehead while you slept and you'd give a cute little smile. Love you forever babe
This might shock but but people listen to music from the 1950s.. like elvis and the beatles made music in the 1960s that some people listen too in the modern era...... yeah now your comment seems dumb doesnt it?
@@korbendallas2354 this comment is far from dumb those other old songs are more popular and they’re just surprised that people still listen to it to this day.
Going through a rough breakup. He was controlling and abusive but I stayed for years because I loved him deeply. I still haven’t gotten the rest of my things from our place. This song has resonated with me the hardest… it feels like our life and home is metaphorically burning down
It'll get better, I promise. As time goes on, it'll hurt less. I went through a pretty rough breakup myself in 2020, been single for almost 3 years now. My ex however, she had one "unofficial" relationship for a short time and has been in a relationship with a different guy for about a year. I still miss her sometimes, but then I remember the hurtful things she did that make me mad, so¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I haven't found someone new yet, but I sincerely hope you do. I hope you find someone better, who truly cares about you and loves you... someone who will never hurt you. Just stay strong and keep pushing forward, it'll be okay.
Life will give you something else to traumatize you eventually and you'll forget all about it with little to no suffering about this particular breakup.
This song has always made me think of my Ex. The first time I heard it we were together and I felt the pain of the lyrics. Second time we were officially done. The second time started listening to it on repeat, bawling my eyes out wondering why I wasn't "good enough" for him. Why he didn't want me the way I wanted him....but TIME really does heal all! I still think about him everyday but you also get a little bit stronger each and every day. Hugs to all of you 🥰
This song came out while I had just separated from my now ex-wife. Still like the song but, glad I can enjoy it without the pain I did when I first heard it. Time does heal all wounds, if you let it.
My ex this reminds me of too. I actually had a dream like this before I even heard the song. He is/was abusive. He put me and my kids through hell in court, he lied to the judge, made them think i was the issue, and i lost the kids, eventually after three years, my babies saw a woman strangled, and because of it, one of his friends doing it, and cps seeing his neglect of himself and the kids, i have them home. I stayed for so long, thinking someday it might just get better, i finally said i didnt want to wake up in this burning house, i left, i tried to leave with my kids. He can't see his kids now and thinks Bigfoot is coming to get him. I'm pretty sure he is an undiagnosed paranoid schizofrenic, and so does cps, and the judges now. They have enough experience now with him they can see something is wrong. I stayed for that, and hurt myself, and my kids holding onto a dream in a burning house. In my dream, my current husband pulled me away, I lost everything in the house and I was standing outside the embers in the middle of the night crying. This dream was while I was going through the custody fight, screaming on the inside cause I couldn't be with my babies, going through abuse from him day after day. I felt so down, yet somehow I am angry with myself because I cannot get a wall big enough around myself to keep him out, to be angry. I feel nothing. Just wish to be somewhere else on the planet, somewhere other than here. I'm a year outside the battle and that wound is still raw, I'm jaded and tired now. I keep watching how he hurts these kids, what he is doing to himself, and I cannot believe I even married him. What the hell was wrong with me? I know what this feels like, holding onto someone who won't leave a burning house, and insists on keeping myself and the children there.. I guess it's just natural selection running it's coarse.
This song reminds me of me and my mom, I'm a drug addict. She tried so much to help me, I've pushed her away, left her alone, gave her so much pain. To this day she still hurts, we're not speaking right now but it says a lot about our relationship.
I know what you mean. I was addicted to drugs on the streets...shooting up n all. My dad didnt think I'd make it to my next birthday. He told me he would get phone calls from the cops and end up on the ground thinking they were calling saying I was dead. But it is possible to get better. I'll be 6 years clean in few months. Get help. Its hard. But it isnt impossible and it Does get easier. And one day it's as if you never used. Life is beautiful.
The juxtaposition of Cam's ethereal beauty, coupled with the heartbreaking poignancy- the utter horror of being burned alive with the "Love of Your Life", is so incredibly powerful- it makes this song one of the most hands down memorable and moving videos of all time. Absolute Masterpiece.
I'll respect your privacy, Pardon me for writing in your comment am impressed by your personality. I admire your kind demeanour. I mean It's quite impressive the way you expressed yourself, and I can tell you are an easygoing person someone worth spending time with. sorry if this sounds weird, but I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you, I'd love to be friends.
lyrics: I had a dream about a burning house You were stuck inside I couldn't get you out I lay beside you and pulled you close And the two of us went up in smoke Love isn't all that it seems I did you wrong I'll stay here with you Until this dream is gone I've been sleepwalking Been wondering all night Trying to take what's lost and broke And make it right I've been sleepwalking Too close to the fire But it's the only place that I can hold you tight In this burning house I see you at a party and you look the same I could take you back But people don't really change Wish that we could go back in time I'd be the one you thought you'd find Love isn't all that it seems I did you wrong I'll stay here with you Till this dream is gone I've been sleepwalking Been wondering all night Trying to take what's lost and broke And make it right I've been sleepwalking Too close to the fire But it's the only place that I can hold you tight In this burning house Flames are getting bigger now In this burning house I can hold on to you somehow In this burning house Oh and I don't wanna wake up In this burning house And I've been sleepwalking Been wandering all night Trying to take what's lost and broke And make it right I've been sleep walking Too close to the fire But it's the only place that I can hold you tight In this burning house
Yes I’m sure you guys can come see me soon bye bye Yeah well a phone call would be nice to let me know that you’re still alive your scene in town so you’re here
I don’t wanna weekend without my husband again I know he’s got issues and I’d like to work soon with him and be there for him as a rock something stable for him to lean on
You could’ve pulled her out of that house anytime in that house was her emotions but you chose to leave her Stuck locked in her feelings congratulations
I’ve had this heavy on my heart. The first time I heard the song burning house by cam I was driving home while I was working at the shelter and it hit me like a TON of bricks and I was sobbing. For quite some time I couldn’t fully understand why. I thought “this is a love song with a person right?” I found out that cam intended it to be more open for individual interpretation. I started reflecting on what it meant to me and I’ve come to realize my translation. “I had a dream about a burning house” Dream represents my altered mindset working at the shelter and the shelter is the burning house “You where stuck inside I couldn’t get you out” You.... YOU stands for the animals that come to the shelter. “Laid beside you and pulled you close” Connecting with the animals struggling the most and giving them love trying to show them the good in people after they had been mistreated. “And the two of us went up in smoke” The tears I shed holding them just feeling and connecting with their hurt and the smokescreen of the ideal that every life can be saved. “Love isn’t all that it seems I did you wrong” This is where the tears start streaming.... Going into rescue you have an indescribable feeling of saving all the lives ESPECIALLY the animals with broken past and mistreatment. And even tho I loved all the animals I still had to euthanize them. It’s not as it seemed.... “I’ll stay here with you , till this dream is gone” Holding these lost souls for their last moments while they where injected, comforting them and giving affection before that embrace too.... the dream, the dream is this nightmare of life I started to feel like was too painful for these animals humans don’t deserve. “I’ve been sleep walking, been wandering all night trying to take what’s lost and broke and make it right” Sleep walking is what I thought of rescue before working there. Stuck in the idea that you can save them all. Trying to save all the animals that have been abused and mistreated and find them all happiness for the rest of their lives. “I’ve been sleep walking, too close to the fire. But it’s the only place that I can hold you tight” The fire is shelter work. It’s the only place to be with the companions that have been abandoned and mistreated or hurt. This is so rewarding to see a glimpse of happiness in their broken eyes as they feel truly loved again. “In this burning house” In the position of rescue. The next verse is altered in my head to “See you in a kennel and you look so scared” “I could take you back but people don’t ever change” This encompasses abandonment for me.... for alll kinds of reasons and excuses (not trained, scratches the furniture, sheds, moving, allergies etc.) in rescue over time all reasons start to sound like excuses..... particularly after we hold a perfect cat that can’t be adopted out because it has thyroid problems and has lifelong meds and the only reason we are there holding and loving them while they pass away is because the owners moved into a non pet home after having the cat for ten years. Reasons don’t matter at that time..... “Wish that we could go back in time. And I’d be the one you thought you’d find” All the feels here. This is the realization that you cannot adopt them all and all the pain in wanting to.... “Love isn’t all that it seems I did you wrong.... I’ll stay here with you till this dream is gone, I’ve been sleep walking been wondering all night, trying to take what’s lost and broke and make it right. I’ve been sleep walking too close to the fire, but it’s the only place that I can hold you tight. In this burning house” “Flames are getting bigger now” The pain only gets worse and I’ve lost pieces of myself with every life I had to be a part of taking “In this burning house I can hold onto you somehow in this burning house” “Ow and I don’t want to wake up” I don’t want to realize that lives have to be taken, and knowing made me feel like I wanted to go to sleep with them... like I didn’t deserve to live with what I had to do This song is so hauntingly gorgeous 😭 makes me cry every time I hear it
This song reminds me of my great grandma. She passed away in a fire before I was born. She was a singer. I never heard any of her songs, but I heard a song about her. I wish I could've met you. You're safe in heaven now.. (EDIT) Thank you all for the sweet. There's so many rude people on the site, so I'm glad the good say this comment.
Makes me cry and miss the woman i loved for 17 yrs she became a drug addict and the drug wsd was more important then her 3 kids and me the day i moved out and my baby sister passed away from vaccine so i loss everything my house my love and sister all in one day i surprised im still alive
I hope you're doing well, brother. It's hard to watch someone you knew turn into someone you don't recognize. Sorry to hear of your sister's passing, too.
+Violin On Fire I agree. I haven't listened to a country station in about 6 years cause it sounds too much like pop/rap. Justin Moore and ones like him give me hope.
I got to meet her about 10 years ago at the Madison County fairgrounds in Nebraska when I was working VIP security. As far as celebrities go, she is one of the most down to earth and humble that I've ever seen. She truly has a good soul. She even stopped her entire team to make sure and tell me thank you for looking out for them.
I'm married to a functional alcoholic. It took me a long, long time to realize that I was powerless to fix what was broken by long term alcohol abuse in our relationship. I revisit this song from time to time to remind myself that I am worth saving and I can survive the wrecking ball that has hit our relationship. Al-anon is helping me to learn to live with more serenity with that I am powerless to change.

I found this song at a very low point in my life when I was a child, I listen to it now and just acknowledge how far I’ve become because of music just like this, thank you cam and all the other music artist who’ve gotten me through shit

I'm listening to this song as my mom gets ready to move away and sell my childhood home. Reminds me of the life we used to have there, the life she tried to build with my dad but that didn't work out. Truly letting go of the past.
It's so hard. I was lucky to have married parents and stay in the same house growing up. My son had to move to Florida form NY with me bevasue I couldn't afford it... and now we're moving back because it didn't work here. He doesn't want to go now, and start over again, and I feel terrible. I never had to go through this growing up. Times have changed.
@@394spurdr that's too bad. But that's happening to a lot of people though. Moving from New York to Florida or NC and it doesn't work out, so they come back.
I’m currently 15 but 2 years ago I was put into a Children’s Home for being homeless for 3 years. It was the hardest time of my life and I don’t think I’ll ever forget all of the things I saw and did during those 3 years. Once I got put into the Children’s Home my dad died a year later on the same day, he had a heart failure due to drugs. This was his favorite song, this song brings me so many old memories and is a reminder for me to never forget those tiny moments I had with him. Every time I hear this song I cry because of it being his favorite song. This song brings me joy and sadness.
This post made me cry cause I'm struggling with my son and I think he will be better off in a home due to his behavior and 😭😭 it hurts.. but I don't want him to hurt someone
I had a dream about a burning house You were stuck inside I couldn't get you out I lay beside you and pulled you close And the two of us went up in smoke Love isn't all that it seems I did you wrong I'll stay here with you Until this dream is gone I've been sleepwalking Been wandering all night Tryna take what's lost and broke And make it right I've been sleepwalking Too close to the fire But it's the only place that I can hold you tight In this burning house I see you at a party and you look the same I could take you back But people don't ever change Wish that we could go back in time I'd be the one you thought you'd find Love isn't all that it seems I did you wrong I'll stay here with you 'Til this dream is gone I've been sleepwalking Been wandering all night Tryna take what's lost and broke And make it right I've been sleepwalking Too close to the fire But it's the only place that I can hold you tight In this burning house Flames are getting bigger now In this burning house I can hold on to you somehow In this burning house Oh, and I don't wanna wake up In this burning house And I been sleepwalking Been wandering all night Tryna take what's lost and broke And make it right I've been sleep walking Too close to the fire But it's the only place that I can hold you tight In this burning house

It’s songs like this that evoke so much feeling of sadness that we all experience as humans. As hard as listening to these songs can be, I thank God someone wrote music like this to helps us all through the struggles of life.
I heard this song for the first time out of the blue while grocery shopping at the local SaveALot and this hit home with me as my mom passed away from breast cancer complications and worry of covid. I been listening to this song alot with emotion as well as to find some ways to cope. Her funeral was last night and her burial was done in the rain today. I been sleepwalking longing to see and hear my mom again just one more time as she died without me or dad being there since the nursing home won't allow visitors. The wait is what I can't stand but until we meet again mom I love you and always! Am listening April 2021!
I've always loved this song, but now it has a whole new meaning for me. I just lost my baby brother the day before Christmas Eve and exactly one week before my birthday. I wish I could have saved him. I wish I could have protected him. I was the big sister and I failed. I'm so sorry John Boy. I love you always.
❤ I wish I could send you strength in this hard time you are going through. If you ever find yourself struggling and want to reach out I am sure there is plenty of people willing to be there for you
This song connects on so many different levels.... Even now looking back, it is fitting. Thank you for putting words to my feelings that I could never describe. ♥
i remember when i was younger i would listen to this and imagine my future. imagine if id ever feel this. now i’m 14, and im still young, but at this point i feel like i’m both cam and the man in the house. like i lost myself in its flames. (in this, the flames are my mental illnesses). my best friend came over one night, and we were listening to nostalgic songs. she played this one and i was shocked to find out she knew it. we talked about it, and she made the same connection as me. like how she feels she lost herself in it. but she said i helped her out of it. and honestly i dont think i’ll ever forget it.
16 years. Jeez, time flies. Enjoy it while you got it, folks. It goes by in a haze of work, school, dates, holidays, traffic, pets, birthdays, marriages, divorces, funerals and births.
My dad plays the guitar at every family gathering, and i always sing this song with him. This song will always have a special place in my heart, considering the fact that my dad is my only parent and my best friend. This song always reminds me of him and will forever be special to me.

This song helps me realize that there's more to the world than my little corner, and the things that happen there can be beautiful, but terrifying. Thankyou Cam for gently taking me back to reality
Man I'm such a sucker for sad music and none of my friends and family understand but you can't expect somebody to fully understand something they aint never been through. Man music is my outlet. From country to rock to gospel to rap, I love it all. If it's got soul and I can feel it, gets me higher than any drug ever could.
I just discovered this song. May 16th is the one year anniversary of watching the love of my life take his life. This song puts into words what I can't say aloud.
This song makes me think of my failed marriage. I can only accept my faults and arrogance in the decision. My children were and are the ones who suffered the most. Damn !! The accuracy to this song! Grow, heal and overcome!

This makes me think of my son. His name was Ian, and he was 3 1/2 months premature...just too little to live. He was absolutely perfect, otherwise...the 10 tiniest fingers and toes. Before he was born, I constantly sang to him, and he would dance all over my bladder (lol) until he fell asleep. His dad (my fiance) would talk to him all the time, touching my belly, and that made him wiggle too. God, it was wonderful. I ended up really sick with a infection, which had spread to my uterus and caused my water to break. His poor little body couldn't handle it. January 1st, 2016, we had to tell him "goodnight, sleep tight!" for the last time. I'll never be ok, but I love this song.
Oh what I wouldn't give to be speeding down then Indiana roads with you right now as we blared this song singing so loud together. I miss you Brit brat.

Wow..This song could even relate to friendship. That one friend that you love so much and see them in a bad relationship always fighting. You witness their tears and see the bruises. Yet no matter how much you try. You can’t get them out of their burning house. Being a good friend you continue to stand by their side. You feel like you’re burning with them.
This song makes me ugly cry. my step sister died in a house fire in March, leaving 3 kids behind. I think of the kids when it says "it's the only place that I can hold you tight," like if they were to dream about her. it tears me up, but it's a beautiful song.
Thank you guys for your condolences. I wasn't close with her as we lived 4 hours away, but if you pray or send positive thoughts, the kids and my step mother could use it :).
Listening to sad songs and watching sad videos is humbling. It wakes you to what's around you and makes you wanna be a better person. Does for me anyhow. Great song
My wife thinks I’m depressed because I like sad songs such as this one. I’m not depressed, I’ve just been through a lot in my life and these type of songs remind me of certain hard times that I made it through. Thank you Lord for never leaving my side.
Amen.... thank you for sharing
I have felt the same since I was a kid. I kinda think they are a catharsis to me. The melodies lift me up, make me feel.
jigarzasu sad she can’t see that beauty in you I pray one day she does!
Mark Balaam you’re right, sometimes we become numb and forget how to feel, then something as simple as a song can totally remind you that you are in fact human and have more feelings than you ever knew.
Sara Grueninger so do I, thank you.
I’ve been married to the love of my life and best friend since I was 18. We’ve been married 13 years this year. All of which he’s been in the army. 4 deployments in a very dangerous job.... he’s got a Purple Heart and has nearly died too many times.... the physical death he survived but over our marriage, I’ve slowly watched the man I have loved all of my adult life die a little more each time he left us and came home. He’s always been an amazing husband and father but I saw the changes. Barely... but saw them. In October of last year, he out of the blue asked for a divorce. Said he hadn’t loved me for a long time and he just wanted me to move on... that I deserved more. I begged and pleaded like I never have before.... but he stood firm. Fast forward to me packing our kids and preparing to me.... I discover that he was planning on killing himself and didn’t want me to blame myself so if I thought he didn’t love me, it wouldn’t hurt me so much. And he didn’t want me to find him..... the man who has always held me up and made me laugh, who has loved me at my worst, thought we would be better off without him... that he was too broken for us.... I’ve always loved this song.... but now it has a meaning for my that is heart wrenching. I think of my husbands mental resilience weakening deployment after deployment. I think of me staying in the fires of hell so that I can give him comfort and get him through the pain. It’s knowing how everything we thought we knew was burned up in flames, scorched and left blackened.... to withstand the fires, hold him through the nightmares, do anything to make him feel safe. I’ll never hear this song and not hurt. I still have my husband and he has decided to medically retire but we have so many things to work through and we both need each other to do it. Love this song so much
i hope your husband gets the help that he needs, and that your marriage can make it through this difficult time.
this made me SOB i hope everything is getting better
Wow, this hit me so hard! I have chills that wont stop. I hope you and your husband remain strong and get through this fire. I'm bawling......you are a very incredibly strong person, the world needs that!
Coming from someone who has seen what war can bring and the happiness from coming home but then watching reality sink in and resentment take hold I pray for you, I pray for him and most importantly I pray for your family bc loving a man who loves others lives more than his own will never be easy. God bless you
This broke my heart 😭
Who’s listening in 2020? This song never disappoints.
Yas! Im here i heard it on the radio today (Happy new year, i wish the best for you x)
Yep, absolutely amazing!
It's a powerful song.. still moves me like the first time I ever heard it..
its always there :D
me to I lo e this song its the best
I absolutely love this song it puts me in tears every time she's an amazing singer I love her
I introduced this song to my granddaughter who wanted to be a singer and even though it was not her genre she liked it enough to make a self recording, a beautiful strong acapella which was played at her funeral a few weeks later..I love you Lexi ❤
*Here is a big gentle hug for anyone here who needs one.*
Thank you😭😭
@@siennaking3315 Hugggggsss!!!!
thank you ..
Thanks
U know it 😔
I wonder if this woman knows how much she makes us all cry
She knows 😂
This song was on the radio. I was waiting in the car line to pick up my children from school. I'll never forget it. I began to cry. I felt broken. This was years ago, but I remember it vividly.
I was in the car with my son it came on the radio every hair on my body stood on end my eyes filled up out of my control it just happened it was like she played my heart when I heard it. My little one asked are you ok dad I told him just perfect I'm crying because this woman touches every emotion in life in one song. This is without a doubt one of the truest most perfect songs I've ever heard in my life...I shazamed it straight away now I have it for life.

I play this song on my phone while getting picked up from school

Amen.
Finally, a real country song…like the 90’s and 00’s stuff I grew up on. Thanks Cam.
This is in no way, shape, or form a country song
It also sounds absolutely nothing like 90s country
This song was released around 2013
Released officially in 2015
@@wiggywuI take it as a country song
@@wiggywuWhat do you consider a country song (modern day example if possible).
This song makes me wanna hug the little girl inside of me and tell her that everything will be okay!
Even though you know it won’t!!! I know!!!
makes me feel the same way. here's a hug for u tho christy, and just know everything will be ok just as long as u have hope & faith that it will be!!
Christy You know better!! I'm going to be the beacon of bad news....It will not get better till you stop voting demo
It's gonna be ok...not perfect but you are gonna make it!!!
I'ma a guy and I feel this man
Sometimes it doesn't matter how GOOD, loyal or in love you are....once your expiration date comes love turns into hell..sometimes we love so truly that it destroys us
Allowing love to destroy you is a choice ...sadly.
I believe that without a doubt when it expires it is gone and only hell is what it all becomes
Wow. That is the best way to say that. I know that sounds weird, but it does to me I guess.
Man, that's so true
Ya
Reading through the comments, this song has touched so many people, myself included. What a blessing it is that one person's words and emotions are transformed into song and passed on to resonate with and touch millions of people. It's a ripple effect of profound emotional movement. Thank you Cam being a beacon in the lives of many. ♥️♥️♥️
Yes girl 1 of my all time faves
So we'll said, Amen

I haven't heard a country song this good in a long time.
you don't listen to country very often do you??
collin marques I do, I just prefer country music from the late 90's to the mid 2000's. There are still good country songs being made, but they're some-what few and far between, in my opinion. I don't really like the pop/rap aspects that are found in a lot of the recent country songs.
+GreatToastMigration I see where you're coming from. I like both new country and older. But then again I'm a teenager so I like rap and hip-hop but I grew up with country so I like both types of music. I do however want country to stay country so I hope it doesn't change too much more.
I like rap as well, I'm actually listening to J Cole right now. It's just when rap fuses with country, it just doesn't sound right to me. haha
hahaha like Florida Georgia Line
Sang this to my brother before he got real sick and then sang it to him some more while he was fighting to live .. he passed 3/17/18 and I sang it to him one last time after he had passed . I miss you so much already bubba .. it’s killing my heart . But I’m trying to find comfort in knowing your with my son now and you’ve got your angel wings 💖💔😪

Am I the only one who thinks her face is so peaceful?
and beautiful
No I think it to
Eheh i think s0!!
She has that face that I could love an never want to let go just saying
Hi
I could never understand why I am so addicted to the ache inside that swallows me whole when I listen to songs this deep and touching. But I love it. The ache and the song.
I'm the Exact same way... Even though it hurts, there's something almost, like, comforting about it though. Lol, maybe I'm just a masochist but it's better than being numb...
I agree with you. There's something beautiful about the darkness and the pain, that calls to us.
Same here
it is a good song
I do it too
I've been fighting depression/ anxiety for 10 years. Coincidentally since my wife kicked me out. I left everything. I just found this song, while looking for a female rendition of "I'm on fire" maybe even done a little different. The vid the words, damn..... I will be damned. A flood. The wetness. DAMN. The emotions still haven't stopped. She WAS my forever. I've been so hard on myself.
It's got to end, I want to live, I've been learning, to admit, speak, acknowledge. Heal. Works for me. I'm so very thankful it found me. Thank you so much.
I feel all that. Meds suck too. It all just sucks 😔
I think it’s a beautiful loves on about someone who love someone so much still stay with them until they’re better stay with them through anything like Romeo and Juliet I love it

this song came out months after I went through a house fire. I. lost my dad because of it and would have dreams of him in a burning house. this song is how I felt. I cried when I first heard this song. I thank Cam for singing it, and I thank who ever wrote this.

My parents got divorced when I was a child. This song always brings up so many "what ifs" and 'Whys" and it tears me down. Now I get to see my father maybe once or twice every 10 years. My mother lives a lot closer but I probably have even less of a relationship with her. This song always brings up so many feelings that I just end up pushing down and drowning.
Soory

Maybe you helped me, bro. I got divorced too. Didn't want it but it's ok now. Still, I don't see my kids much because I have to go through their mom to do it. And feelings. Still, feelings. But maybe need to man up and just do it for their sake. It's been on my mind and seeing an adult (you) with this lament makes it more real for me.
I'm so sorry. Sometimes it's better that your parents got divorced. I know it sounds crazy, but I was so happy when my parents got divorced cuz I got tired of watching their toxic relationship & her getting wasted everyday & laying in bed & sometimes she'd come out of the room & verbally attack me & talked about wanting to die & tried to drown herself in our lake all cuz she felt forced to be in a relationship with my dad & I just stayed in my room & cried & got a stress ulcer at 12, but the crazy thing is when my mom divorced my dad when I was 17, she started cleaning up her act & tearfully apologized about driving drunk with me in the car as a kid & slapping me in the face & everything & she started smiling more. Now she lives in Florida (far far away from me)
I'm glad my parents got divorced there marriage toxic. Sometimes good parents separated
I guess because I’m recovering (8 months sober on the 17th) and having been born a child of addiction, that’s what this song reminds me of. I lost my dad to an overdose and this song reminds me of him. I would walk through fire to be near him. It’s like holding someone when your whole world is blowing up. It’s okay to be burning alive because you get to be near the person for a little longer.
You got it girl, stay strong and never forget to put you first🫶🏻!
Try staying active. It helps physically and mentally.
Hiking is great.
Also maybe volunteer at a pet rescue place, you see the love in their eyes for coming to be with them.
YOU CAN DO THIS!
Sorry for your loss and you have my condolences and stay strong and stay sober and keep your head up
Ur doing great! Keep on
Hang in there
You dont realize how much you love a person....
Until there gone.
I lost so many people

So have I. Its a void that wont ever be filled. 🙏🏼
Ruth Humphreys so did I now my eyes are watering please follow your beautiful heart
I lost my mom 😣
Ruth Humphreys So true, the grief In loving someone unconditionally. Loving someone through their good and bad times. This song makes me sad and another one about loving someone this much is Fire Away by Chris Stapleton.
Well 2023 and I only just heard this song a few months ago. It is incredible how messages from God or our loved ones who have passed can come to us when we need them most. Music very clearly has the life changing ability to offer us healing. A good song can give you the words to which you didn't realize you needed to say and a way to process the emotion that comes with those words in order to hold space for them and move forward. To a healthier version of yourself. Once a song does that for you it can forever take you right back to the pain and the place we were in when we needed it most. Reminds us of how far we have come and what it has taken to get us here to who we are now. Beautiful song that I can say has a very personal meaning! One that some of you have commented on with similar stories. Some of you with very different ones. I know I will always have gratitude and respect for the music, the artist and the song! It will always be a part of me! ,, 💜💜💜
To anyone who can relate to this song... My thoughts prayers and well wishes are with you! No matter your story.... YOU ARE NEVER ALONE!
this song is my mom's favorite and just knowing that people still listen to it warms my heart in a way
I really believe in your comment…. Stay amazing and make today YOUR bitch!!!!
You took the words right out of my mouth! Sending love and light your way. 💜
This song has a quiet intensity about it that's hard to explain. I like it.
Feeling exactly the same
you are best song☺
I agree
I have written/performed hardcore, emo, and pop-punk music for the last fifteen years. This song has had a chokehold on me since it came out - it doesn’t need to be this huge sounding, complex piece to hit the emotions it does. Forever one of the best songs ever written.
My mom passed away this was her favorite song i love u mommy
- I really don't even remember writing this.. I was about 13-14 years old when this happened and this is honestly the first time Im reading the replies I didn't even know this comment existed until now...
But I just wanted to say I just seen every single one of your replies and i really appreciate all of you.

This song reminds me of my ex-husband. He was an alcoholic, and lost his life to his addiction last week. He was a great friend of mine since we were fourteen years old. Could not save him from his burning house. I wish I could have. I tried. His demons were too strong. "You were stuck inside. I couldn't get you out"
I'm so sorry love. I hope healing wraps you up in it's arms soon. When it reaches out for you, please reach back. People often shy away from healing and moving forward because they believe that they're doing a disservice or they're going to forget the past but that's not the case. Much love 💗
I lost my husband the same way
Very sad 😞
I just cried for you.
I'm so sorry luv. I completely understand I lost my husband who was my best friend and soul mate 7 years ago to his demons and I feel exactly like you. That I couldn't save him. I feel like I died the same night the only thing that kept me going is our son. I hope it gets better for you. Thoughts and prayers your way
Finally! She deserves way more credit, :)
Yeah!!
yeah only cuz He say the coupe look like Akon. LMFAO He say the coupe look like Akon.
I love this song yay very beautiful
😍
+Mrs Wonderful Who is this?

My ex husband passed away 4 1/2 yrs ago unexpectedly. I would listen and sing this song before he had passed away and would pray that one day we'd be back together. Our youngest daughter, 7, the time of his passing, heard me listening to it came into my room and told me "daddy listen to this song all the time and thought about you. It broke my heart but confirmed our hearts were still yearning for each other. ❤❤
Hugs my dear .I'm sorry I hope ur healing and know we see them again I hope my dear
I love how everyone has shared their own personal stories in relation to this song. When I hear this song I think of my ex too. I loved him so much but he had so many anxieties and fears and just wouldn’t grow with me. As much as I loved him I made the decision to finally do what was best for me after 4 years. He was my best friend. I moved to Georgia and now... he’s lost without me and trying to find his way. When this song meant so much to me I thought I was going to burn in the house with him. But I had to choose me and couldn’t stay. I’ll always love him. I’m sorry bubba... You were stuck inside I couldn’t get you out....
I'm going through something similar. My fiance and broke it off not even a week ago. He's drinking so much He's been hospitalized about 2 months ago and our kids and I can no longer watch it. I had to walk away cause he isn't ready to get help. I know its best for us but my heart is broken.
No amount of love devotion and care can change some1. Only realistic thing you can help them to change is address.
Shelleyne S praying for you! I know this must be so hard. You are making the right decision for you and your kids.
Also going through something similar. Love him so much, but we’re toxic to each other. We’re in the exact same position we were in years ago, haven’t taken a single step forward. I had to leave because I just couldn’t do it anymore. “I could take you back but people don’t ever change” 💔
Yea
This song makes me sit down for an hour and think about all that has happened in life and regret what I did wish I could change all of it
All you can do is look forward. Dont let your past drag you down
MTP Nexis for sure
Me
Unfortunately, we don't have a clock to go back in time and make the changes we all probably need to make at some point in our lives. Imagine being able to though? No one would learn from their "Mistakes and that would be an unfortunate thing, in my personal opinion. So you can't change anything and I know it's easier said than done but, if it's people you wronged for which ever reason maybe making amendments ? Healing relationships? Writing whom ever a letter? Writing yourself a letter and apologizing to yourself for being too hard on yourself ? (I feel to a certain extent we are our biggest critics and our own downfall. ) As hard as it may be, looking at the light at the end of the tunnel gets you through the darkness cause only until you're there will you notice the magnificent beauty of that LIGHT! Hope you're doing better now, 11 months later from your comment. If all else fails, God never will. Be safe and take care!
I’m not into country music for the most part but I keep going back to this song since it’s been released. Hauntingly beautiful, passionate vocals and just such an incredible piece of art!
Bob and Carol, he walked back in to the fire for her. VERY LITERALLY!!!!! Their screams stil bring tears in my nigutmares of losing love. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ No greater feeling that could force a deep desire for another that you would rather burn by their side than live the rest of yours without them. That AMAZING LOVE LOVE LOVE.!!!
How could anybody give this a thumb down? Both the song and the video are captivating. Not long ago, Nashville used to release quality songs like this on a regular basis; now it's mostly garbage on the radio. Thankfully, Cam has some chart success with this song.
Love the song, I feel like the video was a little disappointing with the antics and she was basically smiling throughout the vid which was off putting. I don't think the director did the song justice
+Gaby Rincon That's a very good observation about the video, Gaby. I didn't think about that.
+rockpaperscissors82 Oh realey? I couldn't even watch it; It's pandering. First off from a songwriters point of view, it's echoing Alison Krauss, some of it is strait from Whiskey Lullaby. The Songs are to similar in todays music, there are very few original melodies. The burning house thing has been done over a million times as well. No disrespect to the artist she probably totally clueless.
I totally agree with you! It reminded me of that song
thank God someone else gets it. I've got to where I cant stand country music anymore. Luckily there are a few gems left out there.
This song used to make me feel things I wanted to avoid. This is the first time I've listened to it and not have the overwhelming emotions. Healing happens. Stay strong out there!
Thank you. God knew that was exactly what I needed to read right this second. I know we only remember pain and trauma anxiety because it's not supposed to happen it's an affront to the survival instinct and so if you have been injured and it left a scar on your mind or body that is going to ricochet for a long time after the actual event, it is not because we're bad on broken to the point where we feel like we're not going to get over or past it... The hurt's are supposed to haunt us up to the point where we are not going to get in the situation that might have allowed us to be unsuspecting enough about whatever we carry.. we're not wired to expect trauma. That's not good humaning I know to have any other humans more vulnerable or innocent than how damaged their caretaker is, or careless it's just a kid might be really devastated when the hands that are there to feed them wipe running noses protect him suddenly get violent and there's so many kids that are just future cycles of dysfunction sitting on edge of seat, feeling their hearts speed up, trying to figure out how to not let the thing that hurt be able to hurt again ..... Got to tell my little brain it's not happening now it's not you're right it heals things are different it is today. A little resources a little more self-esteem and a little more autonomy I have. I have to remember survival and tell myself consciously that's not here anymore it's not happening now. In front of me. I can take care of situations that I wasn't able to before because I was a child or because I let somebody the rains and the house really did very down in my story and things were stolen things were violent you don't expect it because we're not supposed to behave that way. Now I just say be more careful I'll watch a little bit more cautiously who I allow in my space for which spaces I wander into. And I have a space that I can go to when I want to disengage from the world I can lock the door again. It's not burning now it's just my body my brain remembering that was so sad and so scary. No safe right now this minute. It'll go get better I am haunted but I don't want to give it that power anymore to look like an apparition when I accidentally see myself in the mirror and look 20 years older than I remember I should love. It's not forever it's not even happening now. The frame of her house was left because it was such an old house but whatever 70s overhaul renovation happened it was stuffed with so much Justice they never reported and somehow fireproofed the frame of the house so it looks like a doll's house I went to the house and it was an arson investigation sticker on the door that was otherwise open of course you can walk right in it was a skeleton of a house and I'm not a skeleton I'm not a ghost I have both of those things. But that doesn't mean I'm haunted I only have mine I only want mine and the holy Ghost and that's it I'm done no more. No more. My life didn't burn down there was some Phoenix energy in there somewhere taking a little while to rise from there.
Your right I felt less sad listening to it
That is So true . Thank You for the different side
Amen to that. Same here.💔❤️🩹
I’m About to hear it for the first time with My Nephew Who was Shot by the Police. He Says this Song is the Business ❤😢
From the very first moment I heard this song last night on TV , a deep sense of nostalgia touched my heart. Making me feel a combination of sadness and inner peace, the song showed me life is not a bed of roses but we must go on.
This is for my friend, Robbie.
When I was on meth and so was my loved one. This song was the closest thing that I could explain how I felt I’ve been clean 2 years now my life has changed. We are still together we bought a home and we are happier than we ever been but I will never forget this song because it’s so true when you are in drugs like that you are sleepwalking, and too close to the fire❤
aw congrats to both of u(:
wow you inspire with such a stories , wish you will and good choices further in life
Hello 2:30
That's awesome I know many who have lost the battle and some who have pulled through like you I'm glad I never went down that road
You deserve it I'm glad you're clean you deserve it and I'm proud of you and your partner for staying strong love you both
Still missing you babe. You were my best friend. I wish you were still here with me. Things haven't been the same without you. I need you. I died the day you left. It's been years but I still think of you all day every day. I still think of the way I'd hold you at night, and kiss your forehead while you slept and you'd give a cute little smile. Love you forever babe
that is so sad I'm sorry
@@angelaferrell259 thanks. I'll be ok
Jon Wayne I think of me and my girlfriend when I read that. Idk what I would do if I lost her. I’m so sorry .
Love....19
Dont be sorry
Anyone still here 2024?
Song still hits frr
Here I’ve been listening to this since I was four❤
I'm here❤
I just heard it in the store and was singing along… I had forgotten about it. So I came to find it!
This might shock but but people listen to music from the 1950s.. like elvis and the beatles made music in the 1960s that some people listen too in the modern era...... yeah now your comment seems dumb doesnt it?
@@korbendallas2354 this comment is far from dumb those other old songs are more popular and they’re just surprised that people still listen to it to this day.
is it just me or her voice is so soothing, ive been through hell and back this song is what i needed in life.
Yes babe
It's like a lullaby almost. I love this song.
Going through a rough breakup. He was controlling and abusive but I stayed for years because I loved him deeply. I still haven’t gotten the rest of my things from our place. This song has resonated with me the hardest… it feels like our life and home is metaphorically burning down
I’m right there with you mama. Stay strong with me ❤
It'll get better, I promise. As time goes on, it'll hurt less. I went through a pretty rough breakup myself in 2020, been single for almost 3 years now. My ex however, she had one "unofficial" relationship for a short time and has been in a relationship with a different guy for about a year. I still miss her sometimes, but then I remember the hurtful things she did that make me mad, so¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I haven't found someone new yet, but I sincerely hope you do. I hope you find someone better, who truly cares about you and loves you... someone who will never hurt you. Just stay strong and keep pushing forward, it'll be okay.
this song is about her being the fucked up one.
I hope you heal from all the hurt, you can do it! ❤️🩹
Life will give you something else to traumatize you eventually and you'll forget all about it with little to no suffering about this particular breakup.
Tears streaming down my face as I write this. I have never heard a song I could relate to as much as this beautiful song
you said it I love her song😇😇😀
man the fuck up
Fuck off
TROY KELLER you mad bro?
+Amir Pa 1being gay or emo isn't wrong 2 you shut up. You out of nowhere just said the f word. so if anything you were mad.
This song has always made me think of my Ex. The first time I heard it we were together and I felt the pain of the lyrics. Second time we were officially done. The second time started listening to it on repeat, bawling my eyes out wondering why I wasn't "good enough" for him. Why he didn't want me the way I wanted him....but TIME really does heal all! I still think about him everyday but you also get a little bit stronger each and every day. Hugs to all of you 🥰
I'm so sorry
Wow that's exactly how I feel too..
This song came out while I had just separated from my now ex-wife. Still like the song but, glad I can enjoy it without the pain I did when I first heard it. Time does heal all wounds, if you let it.
My ex this reminds me of too. I actually had a dream like this before I even heard the song. He is/was abusive. He put me and my kids through hell in court, he lied to the judge, made them think i was the issue, and i lost the kids, eventually after three years, my babies saw a woman strangled, and because of it, one of his friends doing it, and cps seeing his neglect of himself and the kids, i have them home. I stayed for so long, thinking someday it might just get better, i finally said i didnt want to wake up in this burning house, i left, i tried to leave with my kids. He can't see his kids now and thinks Bigfoot is coming to get him. I'm pretty sure he is an undiagnosed paranoid schizofrenic, and so does cps, and the judges now. They have enough experience now with him they can see something is wrong. I stayed for that, and hurt myself, and my kids holding onto a dream in a burning house. In my dream, my current husband pulled me away, I lost everything in the house and I was standing outside the embers in the middle of the night crying. This dream was while I was going through the custody fight, screaming on the inside cause I couldn't be with my babies, going through abuse from him day after day. I felt so down, yet somehow I am angry with myself because I cannot get a wall big enough around myself to keep him out, to be angry. I feel nothing. Just wish to be somewhere else on the planet, somewhere other than here. I'm a year outside the battle and that wound is still raw, I'm jaded and tired now. I keep watching how he hurts these kids, what he is doing to himself, and I cannot believe I even married him. What the hell was wrong with me? I know what this feels like, holding onto someone who won't leave a burning house, and insists on keeping myself and the children there.. I guess it's just natural selection running it's coarse.
I don't think you get stronger.. It's been almost a year.. It hurts everyday like the day it happened.. I miss my family..
almost every time I listen to this song I cry
Sheila Durham me too
same
Me too. It reminds me of how I treated my ex-boyfriend and makes my heart ache.
Sheila Durham I know it sad very sad.
ever since my aunt died my sister has been crying in tears to this song
Sometimes we all need a reminder of times come and gone ..thank you cam!!
🙏💜🙏
This song reminds me of me and my mom, I'm a drug addict. She tried so much to help me, I've pushed her away, left her alone, gave her so much pain. To this day she still hurts, we're not speaking right now but it says a lot about our relationship.
Just for today...its never to late...
as a mom myself my heart hurts for your mom too. just know she really does probably miss you. hope you can eventually kick the addiction
Im in your boat rowing it with you. One day we will be okay.
Go home..a mothers love is unconditional ♥️
I know what you mean. I was addicted to drugs on the streets...shooting up n all. My dad didnt think I'd make it to my next birthday. He told me he would get phone calls from the cops and end up on the ground thinking they were calling saying I was dead. But it is possible to get better. I'll be 6 years clean in few months. Get help. Its hard. But it isnt impossible and it Does get easier. And one day it's as if you never used. Life is beautiful.
The juxtaposition of Cam's ethereal beauty, coupled with the heartbreaking poignancy- the utter horror of being burned alive with the "Love of Your Life", is so incredibly powerful- it makes this song one of the most hands down memorable and moving videos of all time. Absolute Masterpiece.
I'll respect your privacy, Pardon me for writing in your comment am impressed by your personality. I admire your kind demeanour. I mean It's quite impressive the way you expressed yourself, and I can tell you are an easygoing person someone worth spending time with. sorry if this sounds weird, but I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you, I'd love to be friends.
lyrics:
I had a dream about a burning house
You were stuck inside
I couldn't get you out
I lay beside you and pulled you close
And the two of us went up in smoke
Love isn't all that it seems
I did you wrong
I'll stay here with you
Until this dream is gone
I've been sleepwalking
Been wondering all night
Trying to take what's lost and broke
And make it right
I've been sleepwalking
Too close to the fire
But it's the only place that I can hold you tight
In this burning house
I see you at a party and you look the same
I could take you back
But people don't really change
Wish that we could go back in time
I'd be the one you thought you'd find
Love isn't all that it seems
I did you wrong
I'll stay here with you
Till this dream is gone
I've been sleepwalking
Been wondering all night
Trying to take what's lost and broke
And make it right
I've been sleepwalking
Too close to the fire
But it's the only place that I can hold you tight
In this burning house
Flames are getting bigger now
In this burning house
I can hold on to you somehow
In this burning house
Oh and I don't wanna wake up
In this burning house
And I've been sleepwalking
Been wandering all night
Trying to take what's lost and broke
And make it right
I've been sleep walking
Too close to the fire
But it's the only place that I can hold you tight
In this burning house
Nothing left to burn
Ok I’m sorry I’m going to get back to you soon bye bye 👋 I’ve got class I’ve got class so I’ve got nine hours of class bye-bye
Yes I’m sure you guys can come see me soon bye bye Yeah well a phone call would be nice to let me know that you’re still alive your scene in town so you’re here
I don’t wanna weekend without my husband again I know he’s got issues and I’d like to work soon with him and be there for him as a rock something stable for him to lean on
You could’ve pulled her out of that house anytime in that house was her emotions but you chose to leave her Stuck locked in her feelings congratulations
I have played this song on repeat for a week,I really resonate with the lyrics . Music heals 🤍
I’ve had this heavy on my heart. The first time I heard the song burning house by cam I was driving home while I was working at the shelter and it hit me like a TON of bricks and I was sobbing. For quite some time I couldn’t fully understand why. I thought “this is a love song with a person right?” I found out that cam intended it to be more open for individual interpretation. I started reflecting on what it meant to me and I’ve come to realize my translation.
“I had a dream about a burning house”
Dream represents my altered mindset working at the shelter and the shelter is the burning house
“You where stuck inside I couldn’t get you out”
You.... YOU stands for the animals that come to the shelter.
“Laid beside you and pulled you close”
Connecting with the animals struggling the most and giving them love trying to show them the good in people after they had been mistreated.
“And the two of us went up in smoke”
The tears I shed holding them just feeling and connecting with their hurt and the smokescreen of the ideal that every life can be saved.
“Love isn’t all that it seems I did you wrong”
This is where the tears start streaming....
Going into rescue you have an indescribable feeling of saving all the lives ESPECIALLY the animals with broken past and mistreatment. And even tho I loved all the animals I still had to euthanize them. It’s not as it seemed....
“I’ll stay here with you , till this dream is gone”
Holding these lost souls for their last moments while they where injected, comforting them and giving affection before that embrace too.... the dream, the dream is this nightmare of life I started to feel like was too painful for these animals humans don’t deserve.
“I’ve been sleep walking, been wandering all night trying to take what’s lost and broke and make it right”
Sleep walking is what I thought of rescue before working there. Stuck in the idea that you can save them all. Trying to save all the animals that have been abused and mistreated and find them all happiness for the rest of their lives.
“I’ve been sleep walking, too close to the fire. But it’s the only place that I can hold you tight”
The fire is shelter work. It’s the only place to be with the companions that have been abandoned and mistreated or hurt. This is so rewarding to see a glimpse of happiness in their broken eyes as they feel truly loved again.
“In this burning house”
In the position of rescue.
The next verse is altered in my head to
“See you in a kennel and you look so scared”
“I could take you back but people don’t ever change”
This encompasses abandonment for me.... for alll kinds of reasons and excuses (not trained, scratches the furniture, sheds, moving, allergies etc.) in rescue over time all reasons start to sound like excuses..... particularly after we hold a perfect cat that can’t be adopted out because it has thyroid problems and has lifelong meds and the only reason we are there holding and loving them while they pass away is because the owners moved into a non pet home after having the cat for ten years. Reasons don’t matter at that time.....
“Wish that we could go back in time. And I’d be the one you thought you’d find”
All the feels here. This is the realization that you cannot adopt them all and all the pain in wanting to....
“Love isn’t all that it seems I did you wrong.... I’ll stay here with you till this dream is gone, I’ve been sleep walking been wondering all night, trying to take what’s lost and broke and make it right. I’ve been sleep walking too close to the fire, but it’s the only place that I can hold you tight.
In this burning house”
“Flames are getting bigger now”
The pain only gets worse and I’ve lost pieces of myself with every life I had to be a part of taking
“In this burning house I can hold onto you somehow in this burning house”
“Ow and I don’t want to wake up”
I don’t want to realize that lives have to be taken, and knowing made me feel like I wanted to go to sleep with them... like I didn’t deserve to live with what I had to do
This song is so hauntingly gorgeous 😭 makes me cry every time I hear it
Florah s damn, Ive never come across a UA-cam comment I couldn’t finish before
MattRazzell just recognition dose a lot for a human soul.......... thank you
Music that makes you feel emotion is truly art.
I agree
This song reminds me of my great grandma. She passed away in a fire before I was born. She was a singer. I never heard any of her songs, but I heard a song about her. I wish I could've met you. You're safe in heaven now..
(EDIT)
Thank you all for the sweet. There's so many rude people on the site, so I'm glad the good say this comment.
I'm so sorry for your loss. may she RIP I'm sure she is so proud of you.
Thank you.
That is the same with my Great Granpa
insensitive comment incoming: a shit load of your family dies before you meet them, welcome to life. sorry she passed tho
that was a little mean
Makes me cry and miss the woman i loved for 17 yrs she became a drug addict and the drug wsd was more important then her 3 kids and me the day i moved out and my baby sister passed away from vaccine so i loss everything my house my love and sister all in one day i surprised im still alive
I hope you're doing well, brother. It's hard to watch someone you knew turn into someone you don't recognize.
Sorry to hear of your sister's passing, too.
between Chris Stapleton and Cam I'm starting to see there's hope for Country Music after all.
+Patrick Contreras mainstream country music, that is
yes!!!
indeed
+Kameron Maraccini poop
+Violin On Fire I agree. I haven't listened to a country station in about 6 years cause it sounds too much like pop/rap. Justin Moore and ones like him give me hope.
It's so crazy how one thing in your life happens and every word to a song can suddenly have a whole new meaning.
Absolutely
Out-freaking-standing song!!!! Beautiful. Awesome acoustic guitar riff. Bitter-sweet. Fantastic lyrics. Fantastic vocals. Invokes emotion. Pretty girl singing it. A timeless song.
I got to meet her about 10 years ago at the Madison County fairgrounds in Nebraska when I was working VIP security. As far as celebrities go, she is one of the most down to earth and humble that I've ever seen. She truly has a good soul. She even stopped her entire team to make sure and tell me thank you for looking out for them.
This song is gut wrenching when your going through it
Yes it truly is
Going through it now after a 28 yr marriage
This song effected my life in so many ways
I totally agree +nada fathi
+ACE Province actually it's a song
5tgxscyu
+RaleighFay you're gorgeous
k
Here in October 2019. This song will stay with me forever
me too
Same 💕
Why?
Same Here
Same
This song tears my ass up. I know better than to listen to it, but it’s beautiful.
I'm the biggest fan of this song cuz it reminds the time passed,the value of the mmemories !
I'm married to a functional alcoholic. It took me a long, long time to realize that I was powerless to fix what was broken by long term alcohol abuse in our relationship. I revisit this song from time to time to remind myself that I am worth saving and I can survive the wrecking ball that has hit our relationship. Al-anon is helping me to learn to live with more serenity with that I am powerless to change.
I'll respect your privacy, Pardon me for writing in your comment am impressed by your personality. I admire your kind demeanour. sorry if this sounds weird, but I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you, I'd love to be friends..
I am literally living this right now. Glad to know that I'm not alone in feeling like this, but I also wish you all the best in figuring it all out.
She is the prettiest woman ive seen in my entire life. I cant stop watching this videeeooo!!
I found this song at a very low point in my life when I was a child, I listen to it now and just acknowledge how far I’ve become because of music just like this, thank you cam and all the other music artist who’ve gotten me through shit
this song speaks of life and loss, and regret
That it dose
I sadly feel this song more than i should! I pray for anyone that has to feel this way.

I'm listening to this song as my mom gets ready to move away and sell my childhood home. Reminds me of the life we used to have there, the life she tried to build with my dad but that didn't work out. Truly letting go of the past.
It's so hard. I was lucky to have married parents and stay in the same house growing up. My son had to move to Florida form NY with me bevasue I couldn't afford it... and now we're moving back because it didn't work here. He doesn't want to go now, and start over again, and I feel terrible. I never had to go through this growing up. Times have changed.
@@394spurdr that's too bad. But that's happening to a lot of people though. Moving from New York to Florida or NC and it doesn't work out, so they come back.
What a beautiful song, almost feels like a spiritual reprise of whiskey lullaby.
I’m currently 15 but 2 years ago I was put into a Children’s Home for being homeless for 3 years. It was the hardest time of my life and I don’t think I’ll ever forget all of the things I saw and did during those 3 years. Once I got put into the Children’s Home my dad died a year later on the same day, he had a heart failure due to drugs. This was his favorite song, this song brings me so many old memories and is a reminder for me to never forget those tiny moments I had with him. Every time I hear this song I cry because of it being his favorite song. This song brings me joy and sadness.
i’m so sorry, i hope you’re okay babe
Take what’s lost and broke and set it free in your mind , don’t carry it with your whole life like I did !!
This post made me cry cause I'm struggling with my son and I think he will be better off in a home due to his behavior and 😭😭 it hurts.. but I don't want him to hurt someone
I never want this song to end.
cause there is someone i can only hold in this song. ❤
Dear stranger reading this, I would like to tell you something......

You are so wonderful!!
+twin40soffury dont cuss
+twin40soffury You're so stupid. Get off with your coward ass.
Shaun Fergus A brave White Knight, maybe she'll like you for sticking up for her.
twin40soffury What is the point of being so rude and negative? No big deal, have a great day anyways
even if this comment might be copied and pasted, it still made my day :)
I had a dream about a burning house
You were stuck inside
I couldn't get you out
I lay beside you and pulled you close
And the two of us went up in smoke
Love isn't all that it seems
I did you wrong
I'll stay here with you
Until this dream is gone
I've been sleepwalking
Been wandering all night
Tryna take what's lost and broke
And make it right
I've been sleepwalking
Too close to the fire
But it's the only place that I can hold you tight
In this burning house
I see you at a party and you look the same
I could take you back
But people don't ever change
Wish that we could go back in time
I'd be the one you thought you'd find
Love isn't all that it seems
I did you wrong
I'll stay here with you
'Til this dream is gone
I've been sleepwalking
Been wandering all night
Tryna take what's lost and broke
And make it right
I've been sleepwalking
Too close to the fire
But it's the only place that I can hold you tight
In this burning house
Flames are getting bigger now
In this burning house
I can hold on to you somehow
In this burning house
Oh, and I don't wanna wake up
In this burning house
And I been sleepwalking
Been wandering all night
Tryna take what's lost and broke
And make it right
I've been sleep walking
Too close to the fire
But it's the only place that I can hold you tight
In this burning house

So what did she do to wrong him?
Did she cheat?
🤔
It’s songs like this that evoke so much feeling of sadness that we all experience as humans. As hard as listening to these songs can be, I thank God someone wrote music like this to helps us all through the struggles of life.
Thank Cam. God didn't sing it.
She has such an amazing voice. She's blessed and so am I for being able to witness this ultimate creation.
Fax i love her voice😍
Love isn't all that is seems I did you wrong 🎵🎶❤
I heard this song for the first time out of the blue while grocery shopping at the local SaveALot and this hit home with me as my mom passed away from breast cancer complications and worry of covid. I been listening to this song alot with emotion as well as to find some ways to cope. Her funeral was last night and her burial was done in the rain today. I been sleepwalking longing to see and hear my mom again just one more time as she died without me or dad being there since the nursing home won't allow visitors. The wait is what I can't stand but until we meet again mom I love you and always! Am listening April 2021!
🙏🏽

I've always loved this song, but now it has a whole new meaning for me. I just lost my baby brother the day before Christmas Eve and exactly one week before my birthday. I wish I could have saved him. I wish I could have protected him. I was the big sister and I failed.
I'm so sorry John Boy. I love you always.
❤ I wish I could send you strength in this hard time you are going through. If you ever find yourself struggling and want to reach out I am sure there is plenty of people willing to be there for you
From one big sister to another, it's going to be okay. They go, but never leave. They are a part of you, and are always with you.
I lost my husband and best friend after 44 years he's with our heavenly father I'll always have my memories
Remember...your Baby Brother will "always" be with you 🙏♥️
I'm sure you didn't FAIL Love.
The memories, the battles, you were probably the only one who knew and accepted the real me.
This song connects on so many different levels.... Even now looking back, it is fitting.
Thank you for putting words to my feelings that I could never describe. ♥
I Love your voice
i remember when i was younger i would listen to this and imagine my future. imagine if id ever feel this. now i’m 14, and im still young, but at this point i feel like i’m both cam and the man in the house. like i lost myself in its flames. (in this, the flames are my mental illnesses). my best friend came over one night, and we were listening to nostalgic songs. she played this one and i was shocked to find out she knew it. we talked about it, and she made the same connection as me. like how she feels she lost herself in it. but she said i helped her out of it. and honestly i dont think i’ll ever forget it.
I also went through kinda the same thing and I can relate.
That is beautiful. You have gift for helping people. I love this song too and hope you and your friend are doing good.
16 years. Jeez, time flies. Enjoy it while you got it, folks. It goes by in a haze of work, school, dates, holidays, traffic, pets, birthdays, marriages, divorces, funerals and births.
To my love, my children's dad. We love you and miss you everyday!!
My dad plays the guitar at every family gathering, and i always sing this song with him. This song will always have a special place in my heart, considering the fact that my dad is my only parent and my best friend. This song always reminds me of him and will forever be special to me.

Crazy what one can do with a single guitar and a beautiful voice!
I grew up with this song... Never gets old
Who is listening and reading the comments and trying NOT to cry😭😭
this song draws out emotion from the inside, how can one resist being dry to that
me
Me
Me
I am
This song helps me realize that there's more to the world than my little corner, and the things that happen there can be beautiful, but terrifying. Thankyou Cam for gently taking me back to reality
Em and Meg Slemp the world hates me. So I'd rather stay in my corner, I'd rather not get the hatred I normally get.
Kk
How I feel when I have dreams about my mom that past away when I was 16 I never want to wake up from them because I just want to be with her
Same here... But we grow up stronger. We fight with everything inside and outside. In the end we are alive...
oh my God it is so awesome
Man I'm such a sucker for sad music and none of my friends and family understand but you can't expect somebody to fully understand something they aint never been through. Man music is my outlet. From country to rock to gospel to rap, I love it all. If it's got soul and I can feel it, gets me higher than any drug ever could.

I just discovered this song. May 16th is the one year anniversary of watching the love of my life take his life.
This song puts into words what I can't say aloud.
This song makes me think of my failed marriage. I can only accept my faults and arrogance in the decision. My children were and are the ones who suffered the most.
Damn !! The accuracy to this song! Grow, heal and overcome!
🙏🏽
Same!

This makes me think of my son.
His name was Ian, and he was 3 1/2 months premature...just too little to live.
He was absolutely perfect, otherwise...the 10 tiniest fingers and toes.
Before he was born, I constantly sang to him, and he would dance all over my bladder (lol) until he fell asleep.
His dad (my fiance) would talk to him all the time, touching my belly, and that made him wiggle too.
God, it was wonderful.
I ended up really sick with a infection, which had spread to my uterus and caused my water to break.
His poor little body couldn't handle it.
January 1st, 2016, we had to tell him "goodnight, sleep tight!" for the last time.
I'll never be ok, but I love this song.
:`(
lol
Caitlin Pena seriously?
Im so sorry
+Brittany Martin I am soo sorry it must feel horrible to lose someone you love especially when its your child my dearest condolences
Its the first time I hear this song and its the first time I'm crying in years. Such a beautiful song.
It is a beautiful song. I first heard it when I was little and I fell in love with it.
Oh what I wouldn't give to be speeding down then Indiana roads with you right now as we blared this song singing so loud together. I miss you Brit brat.

If it's okay with you, I'd love to be friends.?
Wow..This song could even relate to friendship. That one friend that you love so much and see them in a bad relationship always fighting. You witness their tears and see the bruises. Yet no matter how much you try. You can’t get them out of their burning house. Being a good friend you continue to stand by their side. You feel like you’re burning with them.

This song makes me ugly cry. my step sister died in a house fire in March, leaving 3 kids behind. I think of the kids when it says "it's the only place that I can hold you tight," like if they were to dream about her. it tears me up, but it's a beautiful song.
And the last scene really kills me because she died in her room, and I think of them just lying down with her one last time.

+Laura Gambrell I'm sorry for your lose. I lost my Grandfather in October. I understand how it feels.
Thank you guys for your condolences. I wasn't close with her as we lived 4 hours away, but if you pray or send positive thoughts, the kids and my step mother could use it :).
Laura Gambrell Sure.
Whose sitting in their bed at 11:30 PM and remembering everything from that one relationship and bawling your eyes out? Just me? Ok...
Me...
❤
Midnight for me
It's been 13 months and 2 days. These (still) tears tell me I'm not done fighting to win her back.
Raymond Calcote it hurts
Listening to sad songs and watching sad videos is humbling. It wakes you to what's around you and makes you wanna be a better person. Does for me anyhow. Great song
