Seriously! Everyone is sitting here talking about missing people they love or love lost...this song is about people trapped in a love that is cruel. Living your life out with someone who breaks you down to nothing day after day until your soul is so broken and your so numb that you deserve nothing but what you have...you just live your life trying to get through each day...how can she want the world?

Coming from a bad marriage, cancer survivor, also clinically depressed with high anxiety and PTSD.. this song is a way out and for us to remember that we all just want to be loved how we love without the hurt, manipulating, or not feel like we are wasting our time.. this is LIFE why does everyone do it so differently without thinking of the outcome.. do you think of the person you hurt? Do you feel any remorse whatsoever?

I love this song. The timing of its arrival in my life was perfect. But I avoid it sometimes too when I hear depression calling for company. Depression is not a pleasant companion. 🤷‍♀️ Decided to give it a listen again this morning after my first Thanksgiving in 50 years completely alone. Because this song gave me the courage to cut my final ties the first time I heard it and this is where it landed me. In a world that it appears no longer cares that I still exist. Strangely today that doesn't make me sad. It reaffirms to me that I made the right decision to stop pursing acceptance from people who don't understand what acceptance really is. To get off the emotional roller coaster that this world has become and find peace in solitude. In not needing that acceptance to have a reason to live. In believing God's acceptance is truly enough. Walking away from the world is not going AWOL for a while and coming back a changed person. A more "acceptable to society" kind of person. It is literally rejecting all the rejection that has happened to you. Not the "rejectors"... The rejection... The things that say you will never be good enough, smart enough, pretty enough... The things that remind you of every failure and misstep. The things that tell you who you should be, drowning out the voice inside that tells you who you really want to be.

such a deep song with a strong meaning behind it. this song gives me chills as I just got away from 20 years of abuse ranging from physical to emotional. Depression is a serious thing and so many of us over look it when people are silently screaming for help. I know how it feels to be crying for help and yet no one sees it no one sees your pain. Many of us dont want the world we just want to be noticed.

[@ava198]

Everyone shared their take on the meaning of this song.. this is mine.. its a little girl.. growing up to fast.. she doesnt want the world she only wants her fathers love and protection but he never gives it.. so she finds a place to hide in her dreams.. as she gets older she longs to hear him say he is sorry and he loves her but he never does.. and no one ever hears her cry.. she gets thru it by imagining a future she hopes to have where she is no longer hurt but loved.. and one day realizes time passed her by all those visions and hopes so clearly in her mind are gone.. and like every time he hurt her she has to get up and smile ..face the day alone .. all she wanted was his love and protection not the world.. she just has to keep picking herself back up over and over

You just nailed it honey. I've been doing this for 20 years. Feels impossible to break free because of the stability and the security he has always provided. I work too but he has always been the constant, steady ROCK. But sadly that's all that keeps me here because if he ever loved me, truly, madly, deeply, I for the life of me can't recall when that was. He definitely has some form of love for me, as the mother of our daughters maybe, but he doesn't love anyone as much as he loves himself and his automobiles and his dreams and his penis and all the females he can put it in. It's disgusting and a truly horrible way to live for 20 years. But I have a secret. I finally had enough and for the first time in my life, for the last 10 months I feel truly, madly, deeply loved by and I'm totally in love with an amazing man. We're making plans for the future. Ladies, if you have to search your mind to think of something he does to show his love, or if you find yourself internally justifying his actions, or blaming yourself for his faults, GET OUT NOW. Don't give this man the best years of your life because he will suck the life out of you and when your kids are grown, he'll no longer have any reason to keep you around. Get out. Don't accept nothing less than being treated like a queen. There are men out there who want to love a good woman and show her everyday just how much he does. Go for that guy!

He understands my crazy over thinking and never makes me feel bad about it. When I'm sad he cuddles me. When I'm happy it's because he's making me laugh. When I'm having a bad day he's making it better. I don't need things I wanted someone to respect me enough to feel like the person I was was good enough. And he does this.

[@Ofserpentsandshadows]

To me, this song isnt about a girl and her relationship with another. To me, this about a girl, fragile and broken. She is depressed. She has a rough life and she's standing on the edge. He wants the most for her. He knows she loves with all she's got. He knows she's not capable of doing that because if you have no love for yourself, you can't fully love someone else. That battle with yourself is mind and time consuming. So anything he has to offer, as he is her world, she doesn't want that. She doesn't want to lean on him. Thats what I see this as. Just my perspective and relation to a song.

Hands. Ironically those fade compared to the mental and verbal abuses you actually didn’t realize was happening, until years later. Your mind is no longer working correctly. Your not who you used to be. You start to stutter. Shake. Can’t make a sentence, because your brain is losing its way to think. Constant brain fog. Your teen children start to talk to u as he does. When you at your absolute lowest ( and have NO idea u are also suffering from PTSD) they will tell EVERYONE you are crazy. They will drain you financially. Alienated the children you gave ur life for from you. They HATE. Lucky if you get out with mind body and soul. When u do, YOU have to leave everything, and best to move to another state. There u claw and fight to get your mind back. Be able to actually focus to read (and u have a college degree) if fortunate, u prevail. There will ALWAYS BE triggers. U left him. He may have another supply that thinks he was mistreated. But HE will ALWAYS still try to destroy you. Having breast cancer at 31 chemo mastectomy. Reconstruction. While having 2yr old then have daughters 35 . This 27 year relationship did not start the way it ended. Also discovering having a autoimmune illness, Sarcoidosis. BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THOSE OBSTACLES I had to overcome,were NOTHING NOTHING compared to experiencing domestic abuse: all 4. Physical, verbal, emotional and sexual. Physical scars heal. The EMOTIONAL AND VERBAL DAMAGE will always be w u in some way. Yes it can be done. U can live YOUR life. But u will learn to appreciate the simple things in life. U will not trust as u did and u will get vibes of who u need not be around . So with all the negatives , u learn so much about LIVING LIFE. Sorry so long. U never think it happens to u .ps you will also find if u thought u had friends-... u did not.

[@11Sarabell]

To me this song means: It's about struggles with depression, and she hides it as best as she can. She has a hard time opening up. She wants to be able to show the wounds and talk to him but she just hides it. She dont feel that he will listen to hear anyways. He don't speak of memories, she tried to show him love but it wasn't enough, it was a one way relationship. Softly in her sleep she dreams of the life she wants. She smiles because she realises she isn't asking for much and he just isn't the one. She knows she doesn't want the world but doesn't feel he can provide her emotional support. She know she needs to leave but she afraid to leave and be alone. A new day shines she walks away from the relationship knowing she dont want the world and just didnt settle with him. She needed emotional support. Which isn't too much to ask.

[@crystaldawn4510]

They were "that couple" ...the couple everyone wanted to be, the couple that everyone comment "they are so good together"... now... after 26 years together, it's over.

One year ago I left a very abusive 7 year relationship, that year wasnt without its abuse that was as detrimental as the constant fear. However I am a soldier so that didnt break me. After my sisters passing in 2012, I always wanted to do lyrical dance. Yes a pole as well for bad azz muscles and beautiful elegant moves. It was my sister's legacy. I wanted to learn how to love me, and pay tribute to my sister with something that we were both passionate about; she was just much better. I started and THIS song, the lyrics mean more than u could know, the lyrical dancing was natural as breathing for me. It's one of my favorites to dance to. However I lost half the mobility on my hand and my pinky is paralyzed due to a paper cut and (*** got staph that turned toMRSA, finger died and me almost with sepsis,had surgery, and then hours later my ex came, got physical and the one NUrse yelled at Me and made me leave. Obviously my anger is deep as being kicked out was the reason for the paralysis and loss of mobility) now I can't grip a pole. I haven't worked out or danced since. AND I HAVENT LISTENED TO THIS SONG. ...until now.....BC I MADE IT A FKN YEAR ON MY OWN WITH A TODDLER. BARELY MAKING IT. BUT I DID. I did it. Bow this song has made me dance again. I DNT want the world. JUST DNT WANT TO SUFFER AT THE HANDS OF ANOTHER, and I want to dance to the feeling the music gives you. Tonight I danced! Bc of This song. In tears of joy and sorrow I killed it💯 Not a pole. Just floor and chair routines.....but I'm learning to self love. If u read all of this I assume many can relate to the fear of abuse. But just know that u better know ur worth and nothing can keep u down and broken if u love urself. and if u don't, find me and let me tell u how to learn self love. Now watch Ciara's "love myself" if u wna hear a good upbeat song about doing just that . If ur into Beyonce.....and wna feel really good about u, listen to flawless [ it helps to pretend u got a billion like queenB too] Now, where is 3 doors down.......I've been waiting for something for a while now guys.

[@lindseylitchfield2496]

This girl is brave and is the truth and knows the way of the world and she could win and be on top but she isnt worried . Not sell out she stays true to herself and she is broken but ahe is okay with it because she lost evsrything but did not sell her soul. She sacrificed for the good the cause and even in the sorrow and pain she rather suffer and be true then give herself away for a way out

[@jennkroll8289]

When you are abused as a child, you learn to not expect things, and to not trust people or when something is going right for you you wait for the bad thing to happen. It takes a special man to be able to love a woman that doesn't want the world, because men want to give us the world, and when we mistrust a man for doing that very thing it frustrates him and makes him distance himself from her which then makes their relationship unhealthy for both, he feels rejected, she feels misunderstood... thank you to all the men that let us fix our own problems, but know how to support us and making our piece of the world amazing instead of trying to give it all to us!

WOW, this is actually about to make me cry. The world I knew ended on the beginning of this year, (after 26 years of marriage) I thought I had a husband that loved me and that he was only a monster when he was drunk. I stuck up for him, even after he almost broke my jaw, etc, etc. I was STUPID enough to PAY him $3,000 for a peaceful divorce so our kids and our grandkids wouldn't go through the same shit we did as kids and adults with our own parents (you know, the uncomfortable silence or tension so thick you could cut it with a knife when your divorced parents were in the same room) and now, I'm PAYING for that. I hate what happens in divorces!!! Or domestic violence cases, etc. WHY?! WHY do we put each other through ALL of that BS?! I don't want the world, I just wanted to be happy, don't we all deserve that deep down? OMG! PLEASE, didn't we go and put each other through enough hell, already?
