Hey, folks 2026 ?! ❤️‍🔥

I’m a 67 year old mortal head and this band gives me hope for the younger generations that can write and play music like this.

Whoever had this in a playlist.. thank you!

I still can't get over the amount of raw emotion you put into your vocals, theyre absolutely incredible.

Finally youtube recommended an actual good song ❤❤

Please tell me I'm not the only one that hears Chester Bennington?

As an addict in recovery from multiple substances, this song explains exactly why I was an addict. Along with other multiple traumas. Through my healing, I'm almost 2 years clean and sober from all substances. For those in recovery, I'm so freaking proud of you!! For those that relapse over and over, never quit trying to get clean. It's possible and I will be your biggest cheerleader! For those still in active addiction, you are worthy, you are loved, you are not what those intrusive thoughts say. I believe in you and I love you! The pain when you start to feel is absolutely horrible but as you heal those wounds, It does really get easier. I've suffered every form of abuse and neglect that you can think of and I'm here to tell you, recovery is absolutely possible!!

Pretty disappointed in YouTube for not having showed me these guys before now. They're awesome!

Can’t stop listening to this song. The acoustics and lyrics are so crazy cool. It gets inside your soul…

I am finally starting to believe i do deserve better. I am so afaid of getting hurt but want to be loved more and treated with respect and trust.

He should be recruited to "Linkin Park"

I put this here in hope that after days, weeks, even year - whenever someone likes it I will be reminded of this song.

I have been a musician for most of my almost 50 years. This takes top spot as my favorite acoustic song of all time

It’s awesome when you find a song that you just put on repeat and get more and more enjoyment out of it.

I cannot even begin to explain how much this song speaks to me. I was recently diagnosed PTSD after suffering for many years from it(November 2017). This song is therapy in itself. It reminds me that I’m not alone. It reminds me that not everyone is against me or trying to hurt or kill me. It reminds me to just be okay when you think everything is ending, whether that be life or love. Everything comes to an end, but some things don’t have to end unless you allow it. I really want to send a sincere thank you and hug to the gentleman that wrote this and the way this is sung is a voice of a guardian angel. Thank you so much to this incredible band who needs to reach more souls.

Yes when my wife passed...MUSIC HAS ALWAYS GOT ME THROUGH DARK DAYS... THIS IS ONE OF THEM

LYRICS:
In all this desperation I fear there's nothing I could say
To win this fight
Cause you hesitate much more than I could ever estimate
And that's alright
Cause I'm not insane, I'm only a fool for you
But I couldn't stay away, yeah even if I wanted to
So what am I supposed to do
You don't have to be the one to lose
You don't have to be the one to tell a lie
You don't have to be the one to choose
You don't have to be the one to say goodbye
And I don't have to be the one to take all this
Time you've wasted being dishonest
But I will not be the one who never got the chance to change your mind
Again I'm all alone and left without a reason
To hope you learn, to watch you turn a blind eye to a feeling
So this is the only chance that you'll get to see this through
My eyes before I believe in something better than you
I'm all out of life, babe
It's all gone sideways
Tell me, how can I keep this a secret
When you couldn't either
It's funny how we ended up here
So fucked up and full of fear
You don't have to be the one to lose
You don't have to be the one to tell a lie
You don't have to be the one to choose
You don't have to be the one to say goodbye
And I don't have to be the one to take all this
Time you've wasted being dishonest
But I will not be the one who never got the chance to change your mind
Again I'm all alone and left without a reason
To hope you learn, to watch you turn a blind eye to a feeling
So this is the only chance that you'll get to see this through
My eyes before I believe in something better than you
Believe in something better than you
Believe in something better than you
Again I'm all alone and left without a reason
To hope you learn, to watch you turn a blind eye to a feeling
So this is the only chance that you'll get to see this through
My eyes before I believe in something better than you
Something better than you, something better than you
Something better than you
Believe in something better than you
Something better than you, something better than you
Something better than you
Believe in something better than you
Something better than you, something better than you
Something better than you
Believe in something better than you

I listened to this song 10 times in a row, with headphones on and it's better each time. I appreciate the tone in the vocals, the instrumentation is beautiful, and the arrangement is better acoustically than the original. This piece of music just pulls you in and doesn't let go. It's full of hurt and release and pain and longing. It's haunting and mesmerizing. What an absolute perfect piece of music <3 ...

I'm 68 years old. I've been listening to music since I can remember. It's my therapy no doubt.. growing up in the 60s I was privileged to have some great artist some fantastic music.. all these years gone by and music still touches my spirit my life Force.. I want to thank all the musicians who keep creating such awesome music. This song brings tears to my eyes almost every time I hear it. And I've listened to it alot.. again thank you for blessing me with such a gift. Hopefully y'all will continue to pour your souls into your passion. This song is one I will carry with me until my journey is complete.. thank all of you

I love when you come across a song on accident and then you keep listening to it and it becomes part of your playlist and now you find yourself loving this band and all their music

Absolutely incredible band... These guys should be on the Grammys... What the hell happened to music 🎶...

Heard this song few days back. Can’t stop playing it! Absolutely amazing!

Linkin Park is my favourite band/artist of all time. That being Said. I here some of Chester in this masterpiece. That's the greatest compliment i can give.

Out of nowhere this music came to my shuffle and I LOVED IT!

ive literally been listening to THIS particular version of THIS song EVERYDAY at least twice a day! Great song Unbelievable emotion ... makes me cry everytime

This song is absolutely gorgeous. I cannot stop listening to it. Phenomenal music, guys!

My God, this is a piece of perfection. I love the original but this is something on a different level.

Guys this is one of the most beautiful products ive heard

As a musician, I know how it can be to be compared to another artist, but the timbre of your voice is so hauntingly reminiscent of Chester Bennington! I mean that in the most amazing way! Just learning of you guys, and I am sincerely blown away! You have your own sound, and the vocals are absolutely star worthy! Music needs bands of this caliber nowadays!

Im 54 and a metal head..stumbled on this and LOVE IT.

I need to listen to this at least 10 times a day. This fucks me up in such a beautiful way. I love the acoustic version so much. I can feel it all... and it kills... thanks for creating this master piece.

This song gave me goosebumps...
The lead singer is like a combination of Michael Scofield and Chester Bennington ...
Brilliant !! 👏👏👏

Words can't describe how beautiful this song is.

Bro, this version has way more emotional impact on me than the original. I love both. But this one is AMAZING

Lyrics
In all this desperation
I fear there's nothing I could say
To win this fight
Cause you hesitate much more than
I could ever estimate
And that's alright
Cause I'm not insane, I'm only a fool for you
But I couldn't stay away, yeah, even if I wanted to
So what am I supposed to do?

You don't have to be the one to lose
You don't have to be the one to tell a lie
You don't have to be the one to choose
You don't have to be the one to say goodbye
And I don't have to be the one to take
all this time you've wasted being dishonest
But I will not be the one who never got the chance
to change your mind

Again I'm all alone and left without a reason
To hope you learn,
To watch you turn a blind eye to a feeling
So this is the only chance that you'll get
To see this through my eyes
Before I believe in something better than you

I'm all out of life, babe
It's all gone sideways
Tell me, how can I keep this a secret
When you couldn't either?
It's funny how we ended up here
So fucked up and full of fear

You don't have to be the one to lose
You don't have to be the one to tell a lie
You don't have to be the one to choose
You don't have to be the one to say goodbye
And I don't have to be the one to take
all this time you've wasted being dishonest
But I will not be the one who never got the chance

Again I'm all alone and left without a reason
To hope you learn,
To watch you turn a blind eye to a feeling
So this is the only chance that you'll get

Before I believe in something better than you

Believe in something better than you
Believe in something better than you

Again I'm all alone and left without a reason
To hope you learn,
To watch you turn a blind eye to a feeling
So this is the only chance that you'll get
To see this through my eyes
Before I believe in something better than you

Something better than you, something better than you
Something better than you
Believe in something better than you
Something better than you, something better than you
Something better than you
Believe in something better than you
Something better than you, something better than you
Something better than you
Believe in something better than you

My friend sent me this. I came in blind and was blown away.

Omg yess this was so beautiful guys love it thank you xxx

This song legitimately triggered in me that same sensation you get when you have an epiphany... No words.. astronomic piece of music

I struggle with depression and music is a form of solace; this song puts me into a good place.

The original version is awesome... but this acoustic version stands alone as a masterpiece of talent within your group...phenomenal job... love this.. would love to catch you in an entire concert when it is possible
