Lyrics:
I’ve gotta keep the calm before the storm
I don’t want less
I don’t want more
Must bar the windows and the doors
To keep me safe to keep me warm
Yeah my life is what I’m fighting for
Can’t part the sea
Can’t reach the shore
And my voice becomes the driving force
I won’t let this pull me overboard
God keep my head above water
Don’t let me drown
It gets harder
I’ll meet you there at the altar
As I fall down to my knees
Don’t let me drown
Don’t let me drown
So pull me up from down below
‘Cause I’m underneath the undertow
Come dry me off and hold me close
I need you now I need you most
God keep my head above water
Don’t let me drown
It gets harder
I’ll meet you there at the altar
As I fall down to my knees
Don’t let me drown
Don’t let me drown
Don’t let me drown
Keep my head above water above water
And I can’t see in the stormy weather
I can’t seem to keep it all together
And I can’t swim the ocean like this forever
And I can’t breathe
God keep my head above water
I lose my breath at the bottom
Come rescue me
I’ll be waiting
I’m too young to fall asleep
God keep my head above water
Don’t let me drown
It gets harder
I’ll meet you there at the altar
As I fall down to my knees
Don’t let me drown
Don’t let me drown
Don’t let me drown
Keep my head above water above water
Now people would know Avril is not just a rebellious punk emo rockstar, she has a talent with a heart.
shes PERFECT
YES
Yea but her style with the best songs were punk emo rockstar
Or a clone
artists evolve as they grow people thinks shes replaced cause of her music. maybe she did have a stand in while ill and phased out her career to deal with the struggles
I've missed Avril.. Feels like my childhood is back
"I'm too young to fall asleep"
I hope that teens or anyone basically, who is struggling with mental illness listens to this. Your life is worth so much more than you could ever know ❤💕
She means she’s too young to die.
Thanks !
@@karla_villarreal exactly? that's the point
I did write a comment that soeaks to my pespective i do not disagree with the point you make but restating here may seem that way. Anything we have wrong is truely mental illness whatever doctors say. I bucked my parents about adhd meds as a child and trusted God will figure me out. Faith works if we work it is one way to say a verse.
To me, "I'm too young to fall asleep." Is just me staying up all night on my tablet as a child.
It's crazy how she made this song because of her Lyme disease but it touches people with different problems and it doesn't lose the meaning, it's still a prayer for god to help us so we won't lose hope and give up.
Thank you Avril for this, we love you so much and I hope you'll have the longest, happiest and healthiest life you can get (she probably ain't gonna see this but I hope the energy gets to her)
Well said❤
She's back!
Such a good song, *Avril's still got it!*
God, Don't let me drown
Fuck bts
I'm army too
ok user 'bad bunny news'
Amen😭💜 purples!!
Best part
As someone who has attempted suicide due to major depression, this song hits fucking home 😭 I'm so glad I'm still alive, regardless of the pain depression brings. God seriously keeps me afloat, and I'm so glad ❤️❤️
I'm glad you still here, sweetie😭. Keep fighting and you'll reach the end of the tunnel❤❤💪💪
Stay strong dear person! You're doing great!
How are you now Stefani? Ok? God bless, Phil.
I am glad that you insisted to not give in and up. Pain may not always make us stronger than before but it definitely leaves scars behind and irony of that is the blessing it turns out it be, helping us gather experience and courage from all around, summoning them when time demands them harder from us, that's when you know you did the best while not giving up. This makes the two of us and I am sincerely happy for your strength that made you persist through those turbulent times. Welcome to the club.🤍✨
Amen, because you are worth it and God knows that 🥰
"God, keep my head above water." -Avril Lavigne 🙏

@@Combat8587 yes
i know this song is about her fighting lyme disease, but to other people it means something to people who are fighting depression and anxiety.
edit: (this song means that to me, seeing as i keep fighting every single day) we will win someday.
thats the same for me. It seriously saved my life
As long as you keep fighting... you are already winning!
In the Name of JESUS you are free from that!!!!!🙏
Exato!
Yes, we will win!

According to ET, Avril Lavigne’s new album, Head Above Water, was inspired by her experience with Lyme disease. The 33-year-old singer was diagnosed with the illness in 2014 and had to stay out of the spotlight for several years.
In a recent press release, she explained how the experience inspired her first album in five years. “One night I thought I was dying, and I had accepted that I was going to die. My mom laid with me in bed and held me. I felt like I was drowning. Under my breath, I prayed, ‘God, please help me to keep my head above the water.'”
Lavigne says that although the moment was terrifying, it helped her create the emotional music in her new album. “In that moment, the songwriting of this album began. It was like I tapped into something. It was a very spiritual experience. Lyrics flooded through me from that point on.”
The singer has grown a lot since her “Skater Boi” days. Her song, “Head Above Water” is all about someone trying not to drown. The lyrics are very emotional. “God, keep my head above water. Don’t let me drown, it gets harder. I’ll meet you there at the altar. As I fall down to my knees.”
Healthline reports that Lyme disease is caused by a bacteria and can cause several serious symptoms including fever, muscle aches, fatigue, headache, Bell’s palsy, numbness in the extremities, meningitis, and even heart problems.
Thank you for this useful information!
Fucking ticks
Thanks for the info ❤
I had that same moment with some disorders I suffer from. We had a will and everything.
I’m alive and still trying to keep my head above water but I’m not dying

I am depressed and injured. I cannot walk well. I lost my hope, but when I heard this song my hope came back. Thank you, Avril, for this song. ❤️
Thank you, God, for protecting, guiding, and blessing us. 🙏
Fighting! 💪
Thank you all for praying! I can walk now! I can go back, and swim for my team. So we can win champion one more time.
Praying for you. God loves you
Fighting! Send you good vibes.

I’m getting married in July 2019. I’m walking down the aisle to this song with the instrumentals. Such a beautiful song, with such deep meaning to me. 💝💖
Play this for your wedding!
Your wedding is this month i hope its the best month :)
WOW! Angela . . I just hope in this COVID crazy world your dreams have come and are coming true. If you care to please share how it all went or did you have to postpone/rearrange your wedding? I for one, would love to hear.
Ruby Tuesday July 2019, meaning her wedding happened BEFORE COVID.
Did you get married then ??? And did you play this song ?!
I found this song when my brother had passed away. Every time I listen to it, it brings back to when we were getting ready to have his services. Avril has always been one of my favorites since I was little. This song holds a special spot in my heart 🖤
💖🙏🏻
I am sorry for your loss. I hope he rests well in the enternal peace and may you and rest of the loved ones cherish his memories and get courage to make everyday a better one while living your best and celebrating the memories you have had together. 🤍
This is not a song, this is a prayer.
Amen
Why not both?
TRUE!
Hahaha
ok, not just a song :)
Omg! I’ve missed you Avril!
You miss the dead

Im happy that shes back💖💀
I'm not sure to believe in God, for thousand reasons and even if I come of a Catholic family but despite that I'm really happy that Avril find strenght, courage and comfort in religion. Sometimes, believing in something, faith, can just save someone. And even if I do not believe in God, this music touches me and makes me want to cry, because we see the suffering and the fight that Avril has to lead and how much her love for God is strong. And it's beautiful. Pure. Admirable. I'm just happy to see you here again, Avril. Stronger and more talented than ever. Just a few words of support, even from an atheist, because different religious beliefs do not stop anyone in love and respect. Welcome back, April. Your fans are here, more ready than ever to accompany you in this new adventure.
Religion sucks but this is spritiality is different from religion. Religion is evil
why does this well thought out comment have less likes then people repeating some random lyric.
The reason you don't believe in God is (probably) bcuz you come from a Catholic backround. I know some amazing and Godly Catholics, so don't misunderstand. I'm not against all Catholics. I am against Catholicism. Its religion at its worst. Amish bishops are very similar. Its not about relationship with a creator with them. Its not about a savior. Its not about a daily walk with a God who loves you and longs to converse with you back and forth. Its about religion, and that's about control and fear. And that is wrong! Jesus was all about reconciling man and God back together. Religion seperates. Forget all you have heard at mass. Open your bible and open your heart. Ask God to reveal Himself to you. He will. Don't pray for stuff. Pray for understanding and wisdom. Ask Him to show you who you are, and who He is. I promise you, He will answer and you will never be the same. Religion destroys lives. Jesus Christ restores all things.
It's not really because of that, no. My family was Catholic but they did not really practice. They never even baptized me. I very much agree that religion is the worst thing. I see 2000 history of the Church with a great C and I see only evil. Whether popes, bishops or others, and all the horrors they have committed since the beginning of the creation of this religion. Religion that stifles freedom.
But that's not why I do not believe in God. I read the Bible. And I did not like what I read. I do not see why I should submit to a book written by men 2000 years ago. Men who said they saw this and that. But we have no proof of that. Whenever I hear the story of the Bible, I can not help but look up at the sky just imagining men who have drunk too much and wrote this thing to have fun either idea of genius to control the world. I do not believe in God because the Bible did not convince me. Because I do not believe in what I read. Because the very foundation of this book restricts my freedom to act and think. Because I can not help but think that this cult around God is very recent compared to other older religions and that I do not see why this one would be truer than the others. There is so much belief in different countries, so many different gods throughout history. All works a little in the same way. Whether Greek, Egyptian, etc. It's too much religion and gods lol. I do not judge anyone who believes in God. Who am I to judge those who have faith? No one. But I do not believe in God simply because nothing, neither in religion or in the Bible or in these stories of Jesus, convinced me. I see only one book, very old, too old to continue to follow what it says with our current society, and so I prefer to keep my freedom to think as freely as possible and to be interested in any religions, without ever believing in any of them. As I said, there are too many gods and religions lol. All very interesting to study but I would never believe in any of them.
I love your honesty! I grew up Roman Catholic. We practiced frequently when I was young, then less as I grew up, but it wasn't personal for me until 2015. Now I couldn't care less what you call me, I am not Catholic and I think Catholicism has some problems, but I am a follower of Christ. God changed my life, repeatedly, including bringing me the girl I am now married to - and no not through church, lol. We had never met. The difference for me, was realizing that the God of the Bible is real love. His real love seeks and brings about what is best despite the painful costs. I want that real love and what it brings. We always have freedom of action and of thought, within the situations we find ourselves. In our freedom, what's to stop us from doing evil things, and even thinking some are good? It has happened, often - like you say - even in churches. How do we define what is evil, and what is the good way to correct it? Some say we will figure it out together, but that is 'society' and society is notoriously bad at that - and it changes.
What you read in the Bible is mankind hearing God and then repeatedly getting it wrong, sometimes trying to get it right, other times not caring, or refusing. Doesn't that sound like us today? Some eventually figured out they needed God, as was already made known and repeated. Even when they tried, they couldn't always love perfectly and resist the advantage of doing things that were not good. Still sounds familiar compared to people today, in my opinion. God made a way to fix all that in Jesus, and I think it's still relevant.
It is not one book, but many books and collections written across at least 1000 years, by many people of different cultures, describing events across all of known history also referenced by outside sources, and scrutinized heavily by the entire world to this day. It is astonishingly accurate and consistent. The New Testament has the most textual evidence of all human history, by far, and despite attempts to destroy it. That New Testament references the vast majority of the Old Testament. There is overwhelming evidence if you look. Serious question: What evidence would you need to believe in God? Why do we exist? Look for it! I am searching for truth and have found it so far in Jesus.
The God described in these writings offers real love now (joyful yet painful because of lingering evils) and promises life everlasting in that real love when it will no longer be painful. He is not just on a page or in history, He is present now - His name means I AM! He offers real love to you always, and for you to be able to love more perfectly as you practice His ways. Test it! Do you want real love? You may have it, right now. It is a free choice, for all peoples of all times. Every other idea or person or thing falls short of that promise, I've found. I've found that this God has kept His promises in Jesus.
Now, I do my best to love well, even when it is hard and seemingly not rewarding. Sorry if this seems sermon-y, I'm just sharing my heart. I say all this because though I have not met you, I desire for you to have joy like what I have found - which God desires also - and I think this may help you find more joy. I sense you're a good person, and I hope you have a wonderful life and that this has been helpful. Feel free to chat with me more, about this or anything. My favorite hobby is games, of any kind really.
Thank you Jesus for reaching Avril
Why Jesus? Why not God? Last time I checked God , Mother and Jesus. God created Jesus & his mom.
@@johnj9976 Then, Why not Jesus? :)
Thank you God to be there for Avril and show her Your love! :) God's amazing!
it is God, Jesus and the holy spirit, not Mother. That is the Trinity
@@johnj9976 Jesus Christ is God in the Flesh. When in thw flesh he is a jew. He never made any catholic system. Nor was peter ir his liniage a pope. Nor are we to pray to mary. Blessed aming women fir she was the arc for nine months and she had faith to obey. But Jesus Christ is our own high priest
The onlt Holy Father. God ceated Craeted angels. God made mary. jesus Crist is the only begotten not made son. Among other reason why Jesus Christ is God.
I can feel her emotions and how hard it was on her to keep fighting
we with her! 👩👧 👩👩👧👦 👩👩👦👦 😢😢😢 but we Fight against the illness🤜🤛
anyone else been here since the sk8erboy and smile days ?? THIS SONG IS AMAZING !
Lorney I was gonna say, pretty sure I’ve been a fan before Sk8erboy lol I still have a cd with Complicated on it in my car! Never gets old
Been here since she mooned us in the Treble Charger - 100 Million video. :P
I remember when I was 5 my bro came home from school with Avril's CD & posters (I'm turning 21 this month)
I'm a surviving BI-POLAR DISORDER . I'mma fighter and this song has so much power in it that helps me keep my head floating and survive each day as a fighter . I have huge respect to Avril Lavigne for making this song. It really means alot to me and many other souls just like me 💜
Anti suicidal song.
It's about lyme disease
@@chrisc847 The song didn't include "lyme" this word so it doesn't have to be specific of certain scenario
@@KS-yc5kj no but in an interview Avril revealed what the song is truly about and she said it's about her close to dying due to Lyme disease and that God saved her
@@Rican856 ua-cam.com/video/eKHObY3njnM/v-deo.html
@@Rican856 it doesn't have to be just about that. Everyone has a different interpretation to things like music. Avril has even said this before when she was saying what her songs in Goodbye Lullaby meant.
"I'm too young to fall asleep."
This lyric touches me the most...
too
Yellow Flash Of the Leaf What do you mean? She’s definitely way too young to die
Yes, it's a strong lyric that makes me think about all those people that die young...so sad
kathatesthis a lot of young artits sadly didn't think so...
I cried at that part
I’m crying. My childwood’s singer is finally back . I can’t believe it... 😍
Nicholas even my too
I'm crying too! :D
I'm about to start crying because she's finally back. I'm in school and I'd risk getting in trouble to listen to this song on repeat.

I'm a recovering alcoholic with 14 months sober. Every word of this song went through my head when I hit my rock bottom. I knew booze would kill me, but I also couldn't stop on my own. I thank God every day for hearing me beg and sending the help that saved my life.

we just hit the four-month mark a few days back and she's still not talking she's making progress still it's not as much as we would like but it's something everyday is hard the holidays were definitely heartbreaking to go through..
All I can suggest is to cherish every moment like it's the last..

thank you God for saving Avril and blessing us with this wonderful song. I've been listening to this song in a loop for a few days right now just to give myself encouragement to continue through life.
I can hear that she's fighting for her life from this song, and she did it, she's coming back.
The 2000's queen is back
i know right
HEYyou-don't know-me army?
Ikr
yaz, an army
I've battled epilepsy and anxiety, and there have been times when I thought I was going to die. This song makes me want to cry, but at the same time, it makes me want to keep fighting no matter how hard it gets. Thanks for this inspiring song, Avril. So happy you're back.
Grand mal? Which type of eplipsy?
Got diagnosed with Lyme disease this month. My ears hurt, I have tinnitus and am slowly losing my hearing. My eyesight has become TV static, and I'm so sensitive to light. I am an artist and the vision issues are so debilitating. All my joints pop and hurt. I'm a week into antibiotics and no changes yet. Please lend me your prayers, if Avril can get through this, so can I! 💖
Praying for you!
WE LOVE YOU AVRIL 💟💖💖
My queen is alive! Avril, welcome back, we missed you so much
I never was the person who reads the bible or goes to church regularly but i grew up with a mother that taught me that you don't have to go to church to feel God...you can be anywhere and he'll be there for you any time you need it...and its true...i've never been the most religious person but I've always felt this strong connection with God...he's been there for me even when i didn't deserve it... and now im listening to this song with tears in my eyes cause i relate so much to these words and I'm so thankful to my mom and to God for giving me strength to continue fighting for my life!
karena apus I love this ! Same here God bless your heart and may the Lord continue being your shelter and source of strength and working all things for your good. For He is a way maker and our strength

The song to walk through Coronavirus Crisis... We are warriors!
Most released songs today are about sex, lust, party, having a good time. Most artists today compose and create music for money, not because they are inspired, or sharing their feelings. They create music for fame. Avril is one of the few, and best, who creates music simply to share how she feels. Inspire. She loves what she's doing. She may be famous but she doesn't let her fame take away how she knows music. How she loves music. One of the many reasons I fucking love Avril.
Agreed.
Yankee Fan101 ya. But I think because that’s when music started to change probably why :/
Dude theres tons of artists with music abouy actual things you just have to look.. it's not hard.
aurora likes lemons I know, that's why I said "most". I mean you got to admit. Most trending songs nowadays...have no...ugh how can I put it into words...you know what I mean.
@@jervin1640 You mean mainstream music? Yes. The current mainstream music is infested with songs of plain opulence and bland obscenity.
Guys, remember in middle school when your phone didn't have an external memory only the small internal memory and you could only have 3-4 songs, and Avril was a must to be one of them. Good days.
aww ;(
yup
That was me..
I hope somehow these days return, maybe the songs will get bigger size idk
Yeah!!
Hi, guys, My mom and me. I got into a car crash at 1:15. Thankfully, we are alive. I'm listening to this song right now because I am thankful for being alive. We have no broken bones, just bruises, thankfully. The car crash was not my mom's fault. It was dudes. The dude did a turn right in front of us. It happened on 108 Street right in front of Northgate. So please send prayers and me and my mom, and the other driver.
Its good you are fine🙂
Yeah Iam glade@@Krizin7
I gotta keep the calm before the storm
I don't want less, I don't want more
Must bar the windows and the doors
To keep me safe, to keep me warm
Yeah, my life is what I'm fighting for
Can't part the sea, can't reach the shore
And my voice becomes the driving force
I won't let this pull me overboard
God, keep my head above water
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
I'll meet you there at the altar
As I fall down to my knees
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown
So pull me up from down below
'Cause I'm underneath the undertow
Come dry me off and hold me close
I need you now, I need you most
God, keep my head above water
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
I'll meet you there at the altar
As I fall down to my knees
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown (Keep my head above water, above water)
And I can't see in the stormy weather
I can't seem to keep it all together
And I, I can't swim the ocean like this forever
And I can't breathe
God, keep my head above water
I lose my breath at the bottom
Come rescue me, I'll be waiting
I'm too young to fall asleep
God, keep my head above water
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
I'll meet you there at the altar
As I fall down to my knees
Don't let me drown (Don't let me, don't let me drown)
Don't let me drown (Don't let me, don't let me drown)
Don't let me drown (Don't let me, don't let me drown)
And keep my head above water, above water
Here is a Quote from Avril herself from a recent interview "One night, I thought I was dying, and I had accepted that I was going to die. My mom laid with me in bed and held me,” she reportedly said. “I felt like I was drowning. Under my breath, I prayed ‘God, please help to keep my head above the water.’ In that moment, the songwriting of this album began. It was like I tapped into something. It was a very spiritual experience. Lyrics flooded through me from that point on.”
Wooaaah 😍 God is really good ❤️
Listening to her interview.....I myself shaken and truly humbled by God's greatness and grace upon her. With so much noise in the world, for her to come out stronger with a message of hope and looking up to God for salvation- not just for herself but that for others- that is a testimony of why God allows suffering in the world. For those who endure and still anchor in Him, His grace is sufficient but more so, in abundance too. Thank you Avril for your message to the world.
YES he is
I KNOW that was such a good interview! She inspires me so much and God really is good! I cried when I first heard this song and listened to that interview. SHE IS A SURVIVOR !GOD BLESS
Where can I watch that interview?
This is what a comeback after 5 years sounds like.
This is another 5 years 😍
This song helped me through nov 2018 , lost my brother to cancer . Thank you Avril for this beautiful song you shared to the world .
I am currently learning this song. There is so much power in this message!
Avril is BACK😍😍😍😍
She's not even gone because her music is always on my list❤lbs forever
yes queen is back!
She is comeback to save the music industry..
Agreed
@@enevy3165 definitely yes !
Yesss!!
@@denisse4491 true!
Good. We need this in these awful times of Lil Pump's and 6ix9ine's.
Avril Lavigne is more than an artist. She is a warrior, and this song proves it. She could've stayed out of the spotlight after her fight with Lyme disease. Instead, she came back better than she was. Much love and respect, Avril. You may just be THE Queen.
The song is amazingly beautiful: powerful and insanely moving. I am just extremely surprised that there haven't been too many Atheists coming out and posting rude, uncalled for comments about God and the people who have faith and believe in a higher power. It seems like the very moment God is mentioned, nowadays, Atheists come crawling out of the woodworks to mock Christians, Jews, and anyone else who is religious.
Sadly though I have seen a couple idiots who have been commenting that "she can't rely on her fantasies and imaginations of a higher power for long" and "I hope these religious delusions don't last." Goodness, it makes me mad!
@ADamselInDesign You're very right. It's quite sad.
U roasting atheists like myself won't help even if we do not agree we can appreciate good music
Oh, that wasn't roasting Atheists; if I were going to roast Atheists, you would definitely know it.
I'm an atheist but I agree. If Avril, or anyone else, takes comfort in believing in a higher power, than who am I to mock that? It's becoming too common, I think, because Christian is beginning to have a negative association due to a few narrow-minded people trying to use the Bible to support bigoted opinions. But no one should use a few people's misguided views to put down an entire religion. I'm not Christian, but this song is lovely and powerful, and it's amazing even if I can't personally relate to the religious aspect.

She's really coming.
Buy and stream everyone!! She deserves it.
Yess 😦😘!!
OMG i'm so happy
Finally some actual good music is on trending. A miracle has happened.
When you're happy, you enjoy the music. When you're sad, you understand the lyrics.
Dimana Dimitrova Yes! 🙌
Amen to that.
Yes
*thinks about grades*
Fuck you
I have fatal insomnia all my life I lost my sleep I'm scared and this song brings me comfort ❣️
I'm not super religious, but I revisit this song often when I need hope.
Knowing everything Avril's been through, this song & the lyrics brought tears to my eyes.
Sending love from Malaysia ♥
Raine Lee soooo true 😢
Sending love from Malaysia! We’ll be with you through and to the end
What happened?
😭 ❤️
Our queen is back. Lots of love from Malaysia. Been her fan since she was 16.
This is how you make a comeback in the music industry.
Inspiration and hardship brings out the best in musicians.
YES!
@Nobles let's just enjoy the song okay
@Nobles wtf?
Nobles Taylor Swift is garbage. Avril is back with an iconic comeback taking back her spot at the top of pop, Ariana and Taylor fans, take a seat.
@Nobles she returned because she still has LOYAL fans and enjoys creating music.
This song helped me as I felt very sick last year with a really bad cough which lasted for months and I thought I was suffering through depression because I was going through a hard time and I was thinking about my boyfriend a lot. I haven't seen him in a long time. I miss and love him with all of my heart. Good thing that I was wrong and it was a false alarm about depression, but I still miss him. I love u Pit. Please forgive me for everything that I've done...
I may not be religious, but I have always loved these types of songs. It shares such a much needed message.
WELCOME BACK! This song is amazing!
Finally some good music with real instruments and no autotune!!!!
Defo some autotune in this song, but not nearly as much as the past songs have had! It's really refreshing to hear the instruments though!
My fav comment
all of the songs are autotuned except when they sing it live I mean the singers who do not lipsync
This song has SAVED me again and again!!!! Thank you Avril 🙏🙏❤❤❤
Your song pulls me from the dark again.
Thank you, Avril :)
5 years...finally you are back my QUEEN❤your little black stars missed you so much❤
5 yrs damn. Wish she kept making music during that time. Hope she is back for good.
Roshill K She couldn’t because she’s been ill with Lyme disease. That’s kind of what the song is about...
People saying she died ! But this is the proof she is still the Queen👑♥
Melissa is the one who had lymph and almost dying then recovered. True Avril passed away a decade ago.
Dazz Ling
Oh, my fucking God.
She almost died, and you keep saying this bullshit?
@@pizzacrust688 it's true
@@dazzling9606 that melissa conspiracy has been proven to be false multiple times. avril nearly lost her life yet people like you keep accusing her of being 'melissa' and it's incredibly disrespectful
OMGG DAZZ STFU, SOMEONE REPORT THAT FAKE ASS ACCOUNT OMGG
John6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
Even tho Avril was a punk rocker i thank the Lord that she turned her life to Christ!!
Wonderful lyrics...it is a prayer for hope...something we all need when going through very difficult stages in life. In my experience in life in the military, through divorce, through suicidal thoughts ...there is answered prayer. I am still going...ever mindful that you never know what each day brings.
*THE VOICE OF MY TEENAGE YEARS IS BACK* im getting so emotional here 😢
THISSSSS.💜💜🙏 THANK YOU GOD FOR AVRIL.
the lyrics are very matured. This is a great song. Welcome back my childhood hero.
this masterpiece is lowkey a prayer
I have seen god take me out of every danger and wrong situations.
Every single time he's been protecting me.
I have lupus which often mimics symptoms of lymes. This song really got to me as I have been there myself. Tonight I am in tremendous pain and barely able to walk. This song came at the perfect time. Thank you Avril! I am so happy you are back. Been a fan since day 1. I heard Complicated on the radio and immediately went out and bought your first album. Have seen you 3 times in concert and loved every one of them.
Life with Krystle hi I want to tell u thank you, maybe I don't know you, but never please never stop fighting against Lupus, my best friend died of lupus she was 25 years old, she was the happiest person I have ever met, she never stopped fighting even if she had to quit the medical career and cheerleaders, she was my role model, she is still is even if she is not wiht us( physically)
So I want to tell u thank you for keep trying to fight, for never quit trying to be alive
I'm so sorry i hope you are ok I lost my grandmother to lupus when i was seven she would still be alive today if she Dident have it.get better
Thank you. I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend.
Thank you. So sorry about your grandmother.
@@LifewithKrystle its fine it was a long time ago
Avril is coming to wipe the floor of music. There isn't much competition. Why don't more artists realise that the biggest hits are the ones that come from the pain, that have real depth and meaning to the lyrics. Cannot wait to see Avril dominating the top 10 everywhere!!!
Right. So sad to see singers like Eminem, Cardi b, Nicki Minaj, MGK and many others top the charts with pointless, diss songs that have no emotional or intellectual value.
Our queen is back for taking her place!!! She's gorgeous! I could feel her in this song!
What about Kesha she writes powerful and meaningful songs
@@joeyou2954 They are on the top of the charts because of the effort. The fact that they are rap artists doesn't make their achievements less deserved.
Eminem has no emotional or intellectual value? I'm not a fan of his music, never have been, but even I know that his songs tend to address real social issues that affect millions of people daily. :/ You don't have to like someone's musical style to understand that their music has cultural value. And you don't have to put down other artists just to praise ones you like. Besides, you act like Avril hasn't had her fair share of pointless songs with little to no emotional or intellectual value (Hello Kitty, Best Damn Thing, Girlfriend, What the Hell, etc.) outside her fan base. While these songs are shallow in essence, to some people, they may mean a lot. The same can be said for most of the artists you listed. I'm sure their fans connect on a level you don't really understand to their music. So, let's not tear others down. :)
That being said, I'm very glad to see Avril back, and I hope she does very well in the coming months. Now, I'm going to go binge a ton of her music.
I absolutely love this song, it's so inspirational and motivates me to carry on. Don't listen to the people who are shaming our religions we all deserve to believe in something. Thank you for this Avril Lavigne please keep writing songs as beautiful as this. ❤️❤️❤️
Prayers for a friend Chelsea Get well soon God has your hand and your head above water ❤
"I'm too young to fall asleep"
It touches me so much
Saily Same, this lyric touches me the most
Agree so many emotions.. 😖😭😢
She still got it :)
Que raro es Escuchar a una cantante Pop que regresa y no se este vendiendo al Trap o a los géneros urbanos. Buena canción y una canción refrescante de tanto Trap y Urbano.
yees
I remember as a teen, I listened to her songs to make me feel better, to take refuge when everything was dark and encouraged me to still keep going. And today, as an adult, I came accross this song hoping it would have the same effects it had when I used to listened to her. And Indeed, listening this song relieved me for a brief moment of my anxiety.
this song bought joy to my hart
i have been depressed through 2008 since my father died and in 2019 i am getting better everyday i battle depression and miss my father every single day but avril got my head out of water and this song inspired me to never give up and make my father proud and make his memory live forever i am proud to say i am autistic and have learning disabilities and i will never give up in life no matter how hard it gets dont let me drown keep my head above water thank you for releasing this song avril lavigne thank you for keeping me strong in life and making me get my life on track im to young to fall asleep thank you for rescuing me from the dark life im living i will never give up thank you for becoming my inspiration avril =) may god bless you everyday of your life and one day i hope to meet you i am so proud to be your fan
love your music love your work

Yoshi Koizumi I am so proud of you. I love you, keep going everyday even harder 😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️

@@mookiehayasaka9453 No problem :) I am so happy for you, you are such an inspirational person :D
thank you =)
THE QUEEN HAS RETURNED
RIGHT
God I missed her voice so much, more than I realized. This song gives me the feels, amazing! 😍
An amazing song! I love it! Awesome work
I wish people could be as understanding & supportive of non-celebrities fighting this disease as they are when one of their heroes talks about fighting it... but I am really glad for the visibility and awareness this brings. I hope people know what it is about.
I don’t even believe in god but this is like one of my top songs of all time 😭
Why do you not think God is real I mean I'm not hating on you everybody has their own theories but God is real how did we come on this Earth how is your trees how is their grass how is there dirt how is a roots because of God Jesus died on the cross for us God bless you
Your voice is one of these things I needed the most. I love this song Avril ♥
Can´t stop listen that song 😢😢
So did I, it´s incredible how her voice cheers people up!
Eleonora Mattos hasn't it been like 4 years since she released a new song?
A power anthem for anyone going through any kind of battle!!!!! GRAMMY deserving song in my opinion!
Avril Lavigne sings about fighting for her life. The song is a piano-driven pop-rock anthem, in which Lavigne tries to stop herself from drowning under the immense pressure from her battle with Lyme Disease, of which she had not been open about for a long time. She also prays to God and makes references to religion.
Very inspirational Avril, there are so many people having issues and also feel like they are drowning and this song just takes all that water away and soothes them from all the pain and hardships that we have to go through and its just a very moving song
I can not say how happy I am and I can not say how long I waited for your return and I can not say how much I love you and how I wish to see you. I recently discovered that the words in the dictionary can not be enough to express my happiness and love. And you are one of the seven billion people who stole my heart this way and I'm sure that even if I write hundreds of lines I will not be able to express my feelings but the least I can say is I love you I love you
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🌺
Miley Lavine me too
What a song??? Oh my gosh my favorite artist is back 😢😢😭😭😭😭😭
The best
SkyHighGuys yaaas
This needs to be a worship song
This song is helping me and my stepmom... because my step grandma that I knew since I was two, has lung cancer.And the progress she’s making is 13% out of 100%😔 I don’t know what I’ll do without my grandma 😢😭all we can do is pray 😖🙏
Love her for as long as she is with you. Then live your life to make her proud.
Blessings.
Sister Peter thank you so much!❤️
God help her I will pray for her ؛(
