Top Comments of this video!! :3
I wish there were more songs like this. It tackles a relationship with someone who is suffering mentally in a non-sappy nor overly sentimental kind of way. It's not a "I'll love you no matter what" song; this is the truth. It acknowledges how difficult it is to deal someone who is mentally unwell or disturbed, but at the same time reassures that they'll try their best to stay with them. The lyrics hurt, in a comforting manner âwe need to get ourselves together so we can be loved. It basically says you're a mess but let's heal together. It's so beautiful and mature.

Just an observation and some interpretations I wanted to put out there-
At the beginning of the song, the lyrics go: "And if I wouldâve known how many pieces you had crumbled into, I mightâve let them lay."
Later in the song the lyrics subtly change to: âAnd if I wouldâve known how sharp the pieces were youâd crumbled into, I mightâve let them lay.â
My interpretation is that this brings out the different challenges faced in the relationship. At first, the lyrics talk about the numerous broken pieces, showing how you spend lots of time and energy in gathering the several pieces of broken glass, pieces of the other person.
Later, the lyrics talk about how sharp the pieces are and how painful the whole process could be.
The fact that this change comes in later in the song shows how over time all the efforts and energy someone spends in trying to help a loved one with mental struggles actually turns into hurt and pain - pain from the "ripple effect" of the other's mental illness, pain from being pushed out, pain from not being able to help them the way you want to
What do you guys think? Any thoughts/interpretations, or a lyric that spoke to you?
