There's another world inside of me that you may never see
There's secrets in this life that I can't hide
Somewhere in this darkness there's a light that I can't find
Maybe it's too far away, maybe I'm just blind
Maybe I'm just blind

So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared and love me when I'm gone
Everything I am and everything in me
Wants to be the one you wanted me to be

I'll never let you down even if I could
I'd give up everything if only for your good
So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared you won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone, love me when I'm gone

When your education x-ray cannot see under my skin
I won't tell you a damn thing that I could not tell my friends
And roaming through this darkness I'm alive but I'm alone
Part of me is fighting this but part of me is gone

So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared and love me when I'm gone
Everything I am and everything in me
Wants to be the one you wanted me to be

I'll never let you down even if I could
I'd give up everything if only for your good
So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared, you won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone

Maybe I'm just blind

So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared and love me when I'm gone
Everything I am and everything in me
Wants to be the one you wanted me to be

I'll never let you down even if I could
I'd give up everything if only for your good
So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared, you won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone

Love me when I'm gone, whoa
Love me when I'm gone, when I'm gone
When I'm gone, when I'm gone

My dad passed away in 2019. I’m so sorry for your loss. I still think about my dad daily. I bet you think of him often too. I’m sending a prayer for you today. Life is tough. But it’s sweet with people we love, even if they are in our memories rather than our arms.

My oldest son took his life in March. He served for 18.5 years of HIS life in the USAF. PTSD is a demon which some submit to.. suicide is not a weakness, it is the end of pain, suffering which some can no longer endure. Joe is forever 39💔

When my son came back from one of five combat deployments to Afghanistan, I asked him how he was holding up? His exact words to me, And he is not a 3 Doors Down Fan, but he said, I wont tell you anything I can't tell my friends dad. He eventually broke down and told me of losing a close friend to a sniper, and a few other instances that most people don't realize how traumatic they are to those that serve in combat. He cant and wont tell his wife what he endured, the lives he took, and the lives he saw taken away from him. Its a tough job for a Infantry Marine. PTSD is just the tip of what we endure when we come back from fighting. Thanks to all that serve and served our country in any of the military services, even if your job was state side, you did a job that made it so some poor Grunt was able to make it through fire fight after fire fight and come home in one physical piece.

michael beaman

From one vet to another, thank your son for his service. Only those who have been there truly know the pain.

Brian Reavaldez

I see why he wouldn’t tell his wife but only his father or he didn’t tell you but I’m sure you know that he did but his wife she’s naive to that. It’s not awkward but I can’t imagine me telling my wife that I’ve killed people and people killed mine I would say I’m glad that you shared this and I don’t have a wife but in the future if I do I’m 18 if I do mabye I’m just thinking with my dick so I’m a dickhead nothing but an object I was told by my uncle I don’t know if that’s true but I hope marriage is as exciting as it seems with difficulties of course I won’t be happy if I ever get divorced but I want to know what those good and horrible experiences might be like mabye worse than diying if the shame is unbearable and it coming from you unto you I’d rather be wise and suffer but that doesn’t mean I’ll place myself in danger. I don’t want to lay my life on the battlefield because I think I could do better on the technological advancement side I don’t know if killing someone for victory means good but if my fellow wiser men tell me to I’ll do it. I thought of joining the military and my mother opposing that idea just because I was watching war videos that I liked and some that were sad she couldn’t understand the Russian one but even then she told me to stop I guess she saw how sad the man sounded for telling the story. Well military I thought toughening up men. Because there’s no other way to get tough in life no harder way. But I’ve heard of sexual abuse against men by men. And that made me think why not kill those that did that? It’s not so much your own if what they are is already wrong, and I’m not fit so what use could I do in there I’ve seen a video of an 60 year old man going in there and easily passing those physical tests so if he can do it then so can I! Just as long as I don’t break my balls I know I’m good or break anything but I want to reproduce you see so that is important but also I don’t want to die I don’t wanna sound cocky but not yet and I wish that I decided.

I lost my husband and soulmate in August 2020 after 22 years of marriage. His death was sudden and unexpected and extremely traumatic to me and my family, He loved 3 Doors Down, we saw them in concert several times, his love for music is what attracted us together in the beginning and held us tight for two decades. He was only 48 years old and I miss him so much...This song makes me cry and smile... Love you baby...Brad Swift 1972-2020

I was 18 when this song came out and i had just joined the military, i really thought it was a cheesy video/song at the time but then again at 18 you think you're invincible and there's no need to be sad. Boy does your mind change after a couple of deployments, watching this in my 30's hits me even harder, haven't seen this video in well over a decade.

Reminds me of my Terry. We had everything. We had our lives planned. He served the country as well. A huge curveball came at us. He was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. He is fighting it without me. He didnt want me to go through the pain and I had to respect his wishes dispite the fact I wanted to be there with him. I demanded it. It kills me. This song reminds me of him. I fucking love him and cant have the one man that completed me because cancer is yanking him from me. It isnt only yanking it from me, but from all of us, our children. This is hard. Wtf and why. I will always love him and appreciate all that he has done for us. One day we will be together. I just never thought......

Today I layed my friend to rest who died of a heroin overdose and struggled with addiction. I've struggled with addiction the last 4 years and I've been clean 93 days and I'm just trying to hold on day by day and after the painful day I had today this really helps. Please everyone stay away from heroin I'm begging you.

I'm a recovering herion addict I've been clean for 2 years. My addiction was so bad I used during my pregnancy. By the grace of God he didn't suffer any withdrawals or any health issues. Today he is a happy 2 yr old

Hello everyone , wow I never even seen all these comments of support , yes I am still alive and well. I had about 2 years clean and relapsed really bad about the last 9 months on fentanyl and ODed and almost died, I have 52 days now today. I had a beautiful baby boy who is 18 months old now and got married last July to an amazing woman who has stuck by me and supported me all the way and has put up with ALOT of my BS, I'm very grateful for everyone on here and to be alive. Thanks for all the kind words and concerns 😊❤️

@Spencer Keegan How has the sobriety been? I cannot even begin to imagine your daily struggle, however I definitely do empathize with you being as my brother is an alcholic. I hear yours has a much, much stronger hold. I am not trying to rationalize I just don't want you to think I'm minimizing. I see them both, and all drug and alcohol addictions as diseases. So I just thought, even though I'm a stranger I'd see how you're doin. 🙂

I remember going to the dock to wave goodbye to my Daddy; and even at three and four years old; I never knew if he would ever come home. My 2 brothers and I all served overseas in the Army, since my Daddy threatened to disown us if we joined the Navy... this is such a respectful video; I've kept it as a favorite <3

I'm more of a metal guy, but this song really resonates with me. I was in the military during the Iraq War, 2 deployments to that hell hole, and I've lost some of my shipmates to suicide, including one of my best friends. The fact that this song is dedicated to the troops though does mean a lot. I don't know what else to say but thank you.

I feel thia song as strong as the first time I heard it
When my daughter was 1 year old I split with her mom and I was in a dark place for a couple years and the only thing that made me keep my shit together was knowning that my daughter needed me and I couldn't let her down
Still gives me chills

This song reminds me so much of my time served in the USAF from 2004-2010. Seeing all these young soldiers getting deployed and away from their families breaks my heart. These are the real heroes!

Remember that we only have a 24 hour of living. Yesterday has gone and tomorrow is never promised to anyone. So live today like it is your final hour. God has blessed us with today. So live in the present. Tomorrow may never come. God bless you all who reads this message. Think about your life and the ones that you love.

Your comment for me personally really hits home because I have terminal cancer & am sitting in a chemotherapy chair at this moment. I live each day for today & I take comfort in the fact that I KNOW THAT THERE IS A GOD & I AM GOING TO A HEAVENLY PARADISE. I will see my loved ones that have passed before me & the ones I will be leaving when my time comes. I am at peace with whatever happens. I'm just afraid to suffer physically near the end but I am grateful that my death wasn't sudden so that my family & loved ones have time with me before I depart from my physical body. The one sure fact that all humans know is that the day they are born is that someday they will die. I love you all. Be lovingly honest in your life & always treat others as you would want them to treat you & keep no secrets from one another as this is the same thing as a lie. You can't lie to Almighty God for He knows everything & if you wait till judgement day it will be too late. Please I tell all of you this out of great love for you & everyone reading this comment. Forgive yourself & ask sincerely forgiveness from those you have wronged & know that if they opt not to accept it is not on your problem any longer. You may move forward with peace in your heart. I LOVE YOU ALL WITH THE DEEPEST SINCERITY IN MY HEART!!!!!!!

leeman27534: well nature in and of itself is evil on it's own, that has nothing to do with God not showing love. God is spirit not human, so therefore he has no way of controlling anybody. so all the bad things that happen in the world god has no control of, he's just a creator of life. but who said you were gonna go to hell, not everyone that believes in God or a high power for example believes the same way Christians do. im half Native American Cherokee, so i consider myself spiritual as opposed to religious. among Native Americans, we refer to God as mother, and the earth her son, not in the literal sense lol, but more spiritual. we as Native Americans do believe in what is referred to as karma, but as far what happens after you die, well nobody knows that except for when you die, but your body has a soul that's filled with energy. it's not something you can see with the naked eye, no more than you can see the millions of adams that contain energy, unless you look at them in a microscope lol. but if you were to see your own spirit with your earthly body, it would blind you. your soul is pure, but your earthly body is not. that's why people can do bad things, because the body is apart of the earth and the earth is cursed.

My grandpa passed away earlier this year in April. He was one week away from his 77th birthday. He served in the marines and he had so much to talk about and I loved spending time with him. He was one of those guys who always had that warm smile on his face with the twinkle in his eye and who always knew the right things to say to cheer you up on a bad day. I never really realized how much he meant to me until he was gone. Every time I here this song I think of him and all the good times we had together and how I know he’s in a better place now.
