    Crazy to think this song is 14 years old, nearly 2 decades where does the time go?
  • "1000 miles seems pretty far, but they've got trains and planes and cars I'd walk to you if I had no other way." BEST👏🏻 LYRICS👏🏻 EVER

    I needed to come back here after the atrocity that drake put out to remind myself of this absolute masterclass performance!

    I think we all have a Delilah. I didn't end up with mine, and I always wonder what that life would have been like. Update: didn't expect so many likes. My wife and I are being real and giving it until summer. I've been in therapy for a year now to fix damage I've been putting off from before I was even married. If things don't work we'll always be friends at least and that's a small piece of hope I hold onto. Who knows, maybe things with my wife and I will turn around after 8 years. Dont get married at 19 kids, your brain is still developing chemically. Be back next year I guess. Update. Pretty sure I'm ready to pull the trigger on divorce. I love her but I'm not in love and haven't been for years. It's like love is a puzzle piece and I just tried to jam a piece in there because I'm afraid of being alone. My delilah is out there, and it's about time we stop hurting each other just so things stay the same. Update: finally came out and told her I want to divorce. We're going to go to therapy to either make it work or make the break up easier. I feel so much lighter. Update.... holy shit.... holy shit. She messaged me. My Delilah. I'm still married and wont be starting anything but holy shit. If you see this I know this song gives you the same PTSD it gives me but I've missed you forever. I still cant believe you kept that picture of us. Update: In marriage therapy now. I feel the inevitable coming still. I've tried changing my epilepsy medication that's changed my mood and emotions just to make sure I'm making a decision in my right mind. Also stopped talking to Delilah after the therapist said it would be a good idea not to. Update: the new medicine has leveled me out but confirmed these feelings are real. Also, apparently my life is a soap opera. My sister tried to kill herself and now I have custody of 2 kids the same week my wife was going to move out for 6 months. Now we don't know what to do. 9/22/2020 Summers over. I've known for a while what I need to do. I'm so afraid and happy and sad and excited and confused. I don't even know how to tell her yet. I don't know if I have that strength in me. Divorce is the right choice. I'm hurting her, and myself. I see my faults so clearly now, how codependent I was to the point that I don't know who I am. I was an asshole, I hid my depression for years, she found out after I got super drunk and spilled my guts about being molested, the self burnings, the abuse from my mother, the cigarette burns, all those scars I said were from "work" the suicide attempt at 10, and one on every birthday ever since until 2 years ago when my body forced me to stop after we lost our baby and my epilepsy flared up. The seizures somehow brought back so many memories, but took a year of my life and forced me to finally go to therapy and admit I was raised in a cult not a church, that I was bi and hid it, pretending those feelings I've had about other men weren't real somehow, that one teenage crush of mine that flirted with me and kissed me was just a friend. I realized that I was not really married, just living with someone and going through motions, and so many more insights that have helped me so much. I was a coward, and ran into this as a teenager with all the wrong intentions thinking myself bold and fueled with ignorant cultish ideas, one was literally pounded into your head, "it's better to be married than to burn" partially getting just married just so I could have sex without going to Hell. I saved myself, she didn't, and I got stupid crazy jealous about her past. I know now that it's natural for human development but I let that jealousy fester and rot inside of me until it was too late to change those feelings, and I know I hurt her emotionally over it. I knew it was a mistake within the first month. Hell, at our wedding we lost the marriage license for 2 hours and I just thought yes this is my chance. Good excuse and no one gets hurt. We found it. What finally made it snap in my brain was a sobering story from my dad. Hes an EMT and did chest compressions for so long on a man once that when they finally called it his chest was just meat. He was dead the whole time. He said that was me and I've been trying to keep a D.O.A. marriage alive for almost a decade now. She didnt even want to date me, I literally told her we were dating and she laughed and that was it. I just feel like I've been asleep on autopilot and now here I am awake for the first time. The first time I could admit to myself that I made a mistake was in 2014 when my friend returned from the Marine Corps. We drank a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue label and watched Mr Nobody. We laughed because we looked at each other and there we were me at 6'3, him a freakish 6'8 and both balling our eyes out. And just in case I missed something, I'm sober 2 years, COVID happened so theres that,my uncle died like a week after the kids arrived from his house in CO. I talked to him a few days before then BAM just gone at only 42. I know she was one of my soulmates, she's helped me grow so much, but I want my twin flame, the real thing the person who makes me feel more alive after all these years than I've felt in a long time. You know my YouTube alias and you know who you are S. We both said I still love you, and now I'm ready to find you again -B

  • @Dawnson134
    This was my generation's first song about love that made us feel mature but still young hopeful but realistic. A gentle portrayal of hoping to be enough for your love.
