Rascal Flatts - Why Lyrics

Always remember: nobody is perfect. We are all human. We all have issues that need to be dealt with. There are people who do care and have compassion. Do not let mistakes of the past bring you to your knees, do not let cruelty defeat you. I understand what it is like to be in the dark place, wondering why I bother and thinking my past actions destroyed my life. Just because it seems dark now does not mean that there is not a light at the end of the tunnel. There are people who are willing to guide you through that dark tunnel

this ong stoped me from taking my own life

I sit here listening to this song,looking at the rope and wondering if anyone would even miss me. I dont think so.....

When you do an act like this you just hurt others imagine walking in and finding someone you love motionless I had a friend Sandy brown who lived outside of Ithaca and she walked into the new house her and her husband bought by and she saw him lying on the couch and started talking to and realized why he wasn't saying anything she kept screaming can at him why did you do this too me over and over. Think twice before making decisions like this that hurt others.

This song hit me hard. I lost a close friend commit suicide in 2017. He was only a Freshman. I took it personally. There were blatant signs that I ignored, and it caused me to blame my song. I didn’t hear this song until this year and I instantly cried. It’s everything I’ve felt. Life is always worth fighting for. If 1 person loves you, there’s a reason to live. This song explains exactly how I and everyone else felt during that time. Someone loves you, guys. Just remember that.

This is one of my favorite songs! Love it!

'You leave the stage in the middle of the song' hits me everytime... so poetic, so no closure...

Oct. 19, 2014 I got a call from my mom. My brother was gone, had taken his own life. Just 4 days from his 39th birthday. Had just talked to him couple weeks before, was last time I spoke with him.
So many times I've wished I could call or text him again.

The only reason why i am here is because i love my babies way to much to let them live without their mommy.

Every 40 seconds someone dies suicides.

I miss you Sara.

hi eveyone my name is andray my instagram name is @autistic_weirdo101 i think im going to be the next victim of sucide depression has taken over my life

Dying is easy and living is so so so hard when your so lonly

I'm sorry... But I keep thinking... WHY NOT?
No one cares, no more pain...

“Every 40 seconds someone asks... why?” I don’t know why but I immediately started crying

depression isnt depression. that makes no sense. none of what we are feeling makes any sense. this sentence makes sense more than we may ever. i feel i want self pity, but I don't want your pity, or her pity, or his pity, or anyones. why? because it makes me feel sick to my stomach, with myself. it makes me feel guilty, and i feel like i want attention, but no attention at all but the attention of love and happiness, i feel like i dont want help, i feel like sometimes nobody ever cares and never will...Then i hate myself for being this way so much, and wish i could change but then i wish people would just accept me for me and realize that i cant change my mind, and the way that my mind acts up.

My close friend hung himself.... Because he had bad depression. Waking up, finding out he was really gone hit me so hard. I cried so bad for him... I just wanted it to a bad dream ..
And now my mother recently passed 7m ago.... And I'm so lost. So tired. So done w life.... I don't know what to do.

God is the answer, just believe and be persistent, you're worth it!

I wish I had someone to talk to

A vida é bela mas não é mais que o inferno descrito na biblia,é aqui que a gente sofre,adoece,chora, se magoa, é aqui que a gente pede clemencia a Deus.

What happened to this group ? Seems they stopped putting out new music for years now.. Maybe it's just me because I do not follow them so much .... They were on top of country for a few years ....then ...................

I like this song

As I walk to my room
I think of you
Stop and turn the handle
But I can't go in
Instead I bow my head
Think of the life that i've lead
Pray for a little less doom
And hope that as I enter my room
I see what's on the other side
Hoping that i'll find a light
It may not be too bright
And I may not always be right
But i'm gonna fight
Because what you've done is done
And you haven't won

God bless those of us that battle depression

My bestfriend killed herself. How does one go on?

If I had a rope I would like to do it.
The hardest part is not leaping, it's the family.

im so glad i saw this rn you dont understand only god could have timed it this perfectly thank you

"its ok' to not be okay"

I lost my brother and his fiance and their unborn baby due to a drunk driver. The vehicle flipped 17 times that night killing 5 people total. The driver was drunk and they were in the vehicle

I continue to ask WHY everyday! I am fighting something that no one understands!

Hate my brain. Hate myself. Hate my disorder. Hate my life. Live everyday wanting to end it.

This is not a joke. The world now is lack of love and affection

I have suffered with depression since I was in 8th grade and began to self-inflict. I attempted suicide twice and was admitted to the hospital as well. It wasn’t until my second suicide attempt that I actually began to seek help. It has been a struggle but I am proud to say I have been sober from self-infliction since 8/16/18. Those who are hurting know that you can get through it! You have a whole community out there who is ready to help but most of all know it is okay to not be okay because guess what... everyone always has something going on too

I fight depression and anxiety constantly. But, God took the time to make me and I have a purpose whether I see it or not. Yes it's hard, but I get help. I have my person/people that I can vulnerable to, and it makes such a difference. You matter. Please don't stop fighting.

This song fits a little too well right now ....Just getting out of the hospital due to a attempt on my life and this is the first song that came on the radio....

Is this song on I tunes would love to buy it

My mum took her life in 2012 and my sister in 2015 and I still struggle with the why!

My Step-mom & my husbands friend who we called brother chose to take their own way out, and I said and then and still say today why?

And my son and mom

Thank you Lord I'm alive

Its not so simple as reaching out. Cause everytime I do, the conversation lasts 30 seconds and then it's moved on to something else. So fuck it. It's not worth reaching out cause in the end, nobody gives a fuck unless you're dead. I've spent the past 18 years struggling to find a decent reason to stay alive. And everytime I do, it's disappears. The struggle of this world is not worth it.

Why? Cause I dont understand this world, and I wake up everyday tired of pretending that I do. And when I lay down at night, all I want to do is not wake up. I could live a thousand life times in a dream because there's nothing to understand. In a dream, theres no pain, no suffering. In a dream, I dont need to feel the pain that I've felt my whole life and I can just float. That feeling of weightlessness you get in a dream. To me, that is as close to peace I've ever felt in my entire life. I'll be 22 in 3 weeks, and I dont know what's holding me together and I honestly dont know what's gonna keep me going I put one foot in front of another and tell myself just one more step. My friends and I hold each other up. But I'm just so tired. I feel like i cant give in cause i cant bare to weaken them like that. But I so badly want to sleep. Truth is, there is no help because I dont want help, I want to stop. I dont want to be here. I'm just so tired.

Why do I lose ever one I love

I never thought i would ever know someone that would take thier own life but my husband and soulmate left this world last month my world is completely upside down without him here there will never be anyone like him in the world I love him and I will always love him and miss him

tonia adams I am so sorry for your loss. May God bless you and your family. I am certain he is in peace but regrets leaving your side. He’s with you and wants you to know he’s so sorry. He loves you but just got lost. People sometimes get lost and it’s becomes to late. He wants you to move forward and find happiness.

I’m here

-The Stranger

@Anthony Thank you very much for saying that i hope that is how he feels my life will never be complete without him here by my side

tonia adams I never reply to these comments. For some odd reason I decided to read comments to this song the night I sent you a message. I have no idea why I said what I did. I’d like to think it was God having me send that message to you. Your life is complete. The fact you found love the way you did makes it complete. You have to get up and keep moving forward. There is so much life left for you out there. I know you’re strong. I know you can do it. So please if not for me do it for him. He would want you smiling again. Life is tough but it can also be very beautiful. I have a good feeling that it can be very beautiful for you. You just have to know that he’s still with you. He’s just an angel looking down knowing that one day you’ll see each other again. But until then he wants to watch over you seeing you smile. Not like this, he doesn’t want you to be sad anymore. He’s at peace, he misses you but he’s at peace. So smile love the world wants you to smile.

@Anthony Thank you very much it helps me to hear stuff like that it is a struggle every day i don't really have anyone to talk to so what you have said helps

I also been depressed but suicide is not the answer remember that suicide does not get rid of pain it just passes it to your loved ones...

I'm still here but. a ghost

It's not GODS fault he gives us free will and if you have asked him for unconditional love why so many times is it so impossible 💔 to have empathy for others

Often, those who commit suicide would have been ok if they could just have gotten through those few extra seconds, past the feelings of complete hopelessness. That's the saddest part.

I want to stay. But it hurts. It hurts being here. No one cares. No one loves me.

Hi Amelia. Don't let that get you down. The problem with your ex friend saying that to you is awful. Don't let her talk to you that way. People today see all these skinny model type ladies on TV and think that ladies need to be skinny. That's so bad of her to say that to you. People that call other people names are really insecure about themselves. It doesn't matter if you are skinny. I care either way! You are loved no matter what!! Keep that ex friend away. If she doesn't have anything nice to say then she or he needs to just not talk. Forget about her and think happy thoughts. 🤗🤗😊

Judy Pickrell ok. I will. Thank you. I will try to defeat the depression again

@Amelia Conley I know you can do it Amelia! Remember you are strong, and you are very loved!! And thank you also about my depression. In 2001 I had twin baby girls. They only lived 4 and 5 days and my dad suddenly died a week later. I was lost. I couldn't cope for over a year after. I was put on many anti depressants until they found the right one that helped. I think of my twin girls and my dad everyday. What gets me through is I know I will see them in heaven.

Judy Pickrell I’m so sorry for your losses. Lots of love to you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@Amelia Conley Thank you so very much Amelia!

why should i be here?

I ask my self this question every day at least 5x a day
I can tell you this because right this second you matter to a complete stranger that can tell you you will be missed you bring joy to someone in this world and eventually you will find this joy your self you way always have this question as i do find 1 reason just 1 for now to hold onto and then a day or a week or a month later add another one and another and another and remember that voice in your head that tells you there is no reason is a lie and i will give you your first reason you matter
you matter and should be here because you never know if what you ask on something as simple as youtube will help someone else in other words THANK YOU


me replying to you has helped me to remember that just as you should be here so should I also please let someone you know know you have this question they need to know so that they can be there and help you and God forbid you feel you have no one to talk to hit me up on here and i will because you matter

This bothers me. I think the intention was very good, but it also misses the point completely. When I decided to die, I played Prince's "Purple Rain", I swallowed my roommate's Percoset, and for the first time in hours I stopped crying. I don't know what other people have been through, I don't know your history or your stories or your experiences, but for me, it wasn't the middle of a song. And it bothers me that this song tries to sound so important while being so trivial. I ended up driving to an emergency room and shitting charcoal for two days because I decided I didn't want to die, and if you're reading this, I hope you make the same decision. But my choice to kill myself shouldn't be the inspiration for a cheesy boy band song masquerading as "Country", it shouldn't be a desperate attempt to stay relevant, this is literally the vocal equivalent of that horrible Netflix show that glamorizes suicide and makes it aspirational. I really do not like this song. Fuck you, RF.

Depression is a pain in your heart and mind that is relentless. Only death seems to be the only relief.

This is my very first time hearing this song and it’s very beautiful and very very deep 💝the people who disliked the song are such cruel people who don’t deserve to live their life

I've been struggling with depression since I was probably 6 although I wasn't diagnosed until I was 19 and it got worse as I got older I had to go to therapy which didnt help and when I was 20 I got put on medication to help which helped for a while but there are still days where I believe everyone would be better off without me I mean I smile on the outside but I'm hiding the pain on the inside and if I tell anyone how I really feel they'll make me go back to therapy even though it doesn't help me because I talk for maybe 5 minutes and then I'm silent for the rest of the hour

Miss my brother so much tonight

My fiance an i lost her sister to suicide last year we miss her so bad i beat myself up everyday cause i didn't get to her in time as soon as she called i knew somthing was up as soon as she hung up i ran to my truck but i didnt get to her in time R.I.P. Cassie we miss you and love you

I tried to commit suicide several times at the age of 13, but by God's mercy I didn't succeed. I know that God has an amazing plan for me. I pray that my testimony will help many people who struggle with depression, and hopefully prevent them from committing suicide.

I'm so glad that you didn't die. I'm very thankful you are living today

@Kris Auten Thank you! I am thankful as well. One of the most important things for anyone who is depressed, is the ability to share their feelings with a friend or family member.

Lost a mom to depression because she lost my older sisters, a hospital in Florida killed her. If you could fix are systems for Forster care and we need to fix are are way of fist care that would save more. We badly need to make metel health know around the 🌎 and make them never forget it's a hard poeple depression and PTSD and bipolar. Ever one needs help ever know and then. This disney that one piece can change while thing. So let's try as poeple need to understand poeple have hards and they relapes its just like any other sick

Thank you Rascal flatts for supporting this cause, I been fighting with suicidal thoughts since I was a teenager, I'm 48 years old, I'm still fighting but with hope and a lot of help. If someone is in the same position, please don't ask Why? ASK FOR HELP!

Hi Sylvia,

I think you're stronger then you think you are but I can understand your fight.. But please just keep it up. I've read so many stories and know someone how went through with it. Right now I'm myself trying to keep my mind straight and positive. Feel free to talk with me anytime.. Stay strong.

Patrick

@Patrick van der Velde thanks, I will

THEY LIED! My sister hung herself last month. The most giving, lovely, sweet woman.

why do I feel so alone at 52? I have a family, wife,two kids and still have a mom and dad. I feel like I'm alone, standing in the middle of an overgrown field??

David Thompson I feel the same. I won't be here long.

I lost my father to suicide and have attempted it several times and I still ask Why

I have been dealing with depression and anxiety since i was in high school because of stress family issues and ive gotten help and i am doing better there is always a light at the end of this tunnel suicide is NEVER the answer.❤️

It's October 2019.. I've been having suicidal attempts for a few months.. we don't have any sharp metal here at house. No pills. I feel so alone, it sucks. It's not being attention seeker it sucks very suck feeling that dig you down.💔🖤

You are not alone

You sure ain't.. Keep talking.. There are ears that are willing to listen..

@Charles L Jr :(

@Patrick van der Velde But there are not, theyre just listen to their own.

My 16 year old niece just hung herself along with a neighbor. She had turned 16 just 6 days before. My heart hurts. It's only been 5 days and I just want to know why. I read her note and it hurt to read. This is The first time this has hit home and family

I am so so so sorry for your loss. I know how difficult it is to lose someone, of course every person knows their own pain so that doesn't compare. My heart goes out to you, her family, and anyone who is affected by this. May God be with you all, guide you, give you strength and courage, and may he ease the pain of your hearts.

Thank you I really never thought this would affect me like it has.

Yes, yes I think that All the time, thank you God love you.

Person: "I'm depressed"
Everyone: *ignores*
Person: *commits suicide*
Everyone: 1:05

3 months ago I asked myself why and I grab my double barrel 12 gauge at about 3 a.m and I drove off to a field and I stopped under a big oak tree and sat there for a minute then I grabbed my shotgun and put it to my throat and I was about to pull the trigger but then my mom called and she talked me out of it and later on she told me that she had woke up at about 3 am for no reason and she felt the need to call me

there are far too many people who don't understand depression and what total despair does.

There is this boy in math...he's broken but I wont let him fall anymore

Kimmy. Why u watched u mama die

I just relapsed tonight, I'm sorry I failed everyone, 4 years clean down the drain

I've never commented on YouTube before, but as someone who is struggling and blaming herself for decisions that the man she loves made because she didn't understand his addiction, I'm commenting to tell you that you are not a failure. You had 4 years sobriety and had a hiccup, talk to someone, a friend, a stranger, your sponsor. You are not a failure. Tomorrow is a new day for fresh starts.

The woman I love the most doesn't love me anymore and I'm over a thousand miles away and I have no one now that she's gone

The man I love the most is in ICU fighting for his life and I can't be there because I have to work. I'm terrified when he wakes up he will think I've abandoned him when I most definitely have not.

Lost my son 6/2/2016, Never saw it coming! He sent texts to friends letting them know he loved them, if something seems off call or better yet pay a visit might save some one!!

I’m still here because the rope popped, it could have been so many reasons why but the one I’d like to believe is it just wasn’t my time!

Dont judge a book by its cover

Cause you dont know what the backround of why they put an ugly/preety cover

😔💔

Killing yourself isn't the way out live it learning the cause can help

People tell me repeatedly to man up. How do I man up when I feel like jumping out the window? How do I man uo when I feel like I cause pain to those I've met? How do you man up to the fact you can't even tell someone their feelings without them telling you suck it up? I'm 14, living in the deepest of depression I've ever been in. I can't remember not having it either. All I can say it started with me trusting people, then the trust fading, along with happiness, friends, sense of trust. And replaced with tears, unhopeful teen. I'm not kidding when I say depression is the hardest thing I've dealt with. *don't do it* I can tell you when you put a weapon to your head, you begin to feel more sad, it hurts like hell. It's nothing to joke about.

I found this song after my youngest brother was found dead and it turns out he committed suicide. I now listen to this song to feel close to him.

GOD ASKING US WHY AND SAW WE NEEDED HIM HES HERE AND THAT PEACE HEAVEN HAS NOW CAN BE HERE ON EARTH AND CLOSER YOU GET RO HEAVEN ON EARTH CLOSER WE ARE TO HIM AND THEM.

*"When you end your life, you're not ending the suffering, you're ending the opportunity for things to get better."*
- *Brian Quinn*

When you end life your not ending the pain your passing it on. My brother ended his life 1 month ago.

@Missy Conard I am sorry for your loss. Hang in there

I know life can be hard I know as much as anyone I've lost 3 family members and 2 very close friends to suicide and as someone who has suffered with depression from a young age. Please just hang on I promise it gets better. I have been on the verge of taking my own life multiple times and it has been the kindness of strangers that has helped me through it every time, I had a road worker pull me back from the edge of a bridge and just hug me for hours we said nothing it just restored my faith in humanity I pray that anyone who feels the way I did at the time has a guardian angel like I did that night to get them through it. I wish there was something I could do to thank that person but I don't even know who they are they had no idea who I was. Believe me anyone who feels like they're worthless or don't want to be here anymore. Someone cares someone will miss you. I will be here for anyone feeling that way even if they're a complete stranger just like that worker was for me that night.

Who the hell dislikes this video? Seriously, I'm not a fan of this genre but this is an amazing song. So personal. Hits me so hard. Makes me think about the days I wanted to end it, but so happy I made it through

I have been raped and abused I can't forget any of it I'm weak I can't forget I used to cut sometimes still try to make it bleed but I can't I want to die so then maybe I could get over it I want to help ppl with suicide thoughts and who have had similar things happen to them nobody needs to deal with that I go through harsh stuff and still get hurt I found somebody who hopefully loves me but I push him away cause I don't want to hurt him

This old world ain't really that bad of a place!!!🤟🤘🖖💖💖💖💖

I was feeling...something today! Not suicide but something I cannot explain. I have never heard this song. Out of the blue it came on the radio, I listened, I cried, I prayed. I came home and hugged my teenager, she is because I am and we are because Lord Jesus died for us. I give Him all and I am here, He wants me here until He needs me. God Bless you all, it takes so much to overcome depression and sadly many believe this is the only way. 😢🙏🙏

i need some money as a loan..
Plz save my life...

"I am the way, the truth, and the life" -Jesus Christ

Tell me why

I suffer from severe depression and have tried to take my life 13 times, but something always brought me back. I have my 5mth old daughter now and though I still have these thoughts, I have to think about how it would affect her. Depression may be treatable, but no treatment I've been on has helped much at all and I've been dealing with severe depression for over 25 years.

Thank you,Rascal Flatts,for this song..

What Causes My Suicidal Thoughts, Is When I Fear When The People That I'm Close To Will Die One Day, And I Just Won't Be Strong Enough To Handle That Overwhelming Sadness.

People Take Their Own Lives, Because The Road Is Just Too Long, and This Is The Fucking Reason Why I Detest God, Because The Bible Keeps On Stating That He Is So Smart... Oh Aye? Tell Me.. What Is So Fucking Smart About What He Has Gave Us Right Now? Because We Are All Just Going To Fucking Die In The End, so What's The Point of Sustaining Life When We Know We Are Going To Die?

Fuck Pussy Faggot God, Because I Fucking Detest Him For Everything He's Put Me and Humanity Through!

I think of suicide a lot. I want to.....I want to die so bad but at the same time I'm afraid to die. Anxiety is both keeping me from dying but also making me want to. Depression, ADHD and just my whole fucking life makes me want to end it! But I listen to this and just think of the very select few people that would miss me.....😢

On Sunday 18 August 2019 I got the word that my nephew had taken his life. I don't and will probably never deal with the things you did, so I will never understand this choice. I just want you to know that I love you and will always miss you. I was so looking forward to all of the future fun we would have. You were such an amazing kid, just starting out life. I love you buddy and will see you soon.
