Alec Benjamin - If We Have Each Other (Slowed + Reverb)

[@Kiwivision-x5f]

Lyrics She was 19 with a baby on the way On the East-side of the city, she was working every day Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night To a one bedroom apartment, and when she'd turn on the light She would sit down at the table, tell herself that it's alright She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive She'd never be alone Have someone to hold And when nights were cold She'd say The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad If we got each other, and that's all we have I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand You should know I'll be there for you When the world's not perfect When the world's not kind If we have each other then we'll both be fine I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand You should know I'll be there for you They were 90 and were living out their days On the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed With each other, and though some times were hard Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart Even at the end Their love was stronger than The day that they first met They'd say The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad If we got each other, and that's all we have I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand You should know I'll be there for you When the world's not perfect When the world's not kind If we have each other then we'll both be fine I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand You should know I'll be there for you You should know I'll be there for you I'm 23, and my folks are getting old I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived I know she'd never leave me and I hate to see her cry So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side I wrote this verse to tell her that The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad If we got each other, and that's all we have I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand You should know I'll be there for you When the world's not perfect When the world's not kind If we have each other then we'll both be fine I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand You should know I'll be there for you You should know I'll be there for you

Gonna vent here since nobody's reading this anyway.... This song makes me sad. It talks about a mother being there for her kid. I have a mother but I don't have that good of a relationship with her. We live together and all that you know a whole happy family... but they don't know that I'm broken. They don't know how much it hurts to see them favoring my siblings. I don't dare cry or show any emotion in front of them because as a child my older sister took up so much space. Emotional affectional space of my parents. They told me not to celebrate my victories or accomplishments since my older sister could feel inferior or sad. So I stopped showing my excitement, my happiness. My sister could cry and my mother told me to be understanding because her boyfriend left her. But when my great grandmother died I wasn't allowed to cry because I was being dramatic. I searched for her consolation. For empathy from my mother but was told I was wrong for feeling those emotions. So I stopped feeling anything at all. And now they call me a Psychopath for not showing emotions. They say everything is wrong with me and all I wanted was their love. Not a lot but at least a bit

Obviously this is not the only incident that happened but it's one of the few memories I have left from my childhood. Luckily I am 18 now and will soon move out
