It's hard to articulate how emotional this is. He looks like he's on the verge of bawling through the whole thing.

[@tomgallowitz]

That’s how good the song, this song was personal for Kelly and think he feels similar to lyrics

[@Primasanto2011]

He’s on Broadway so that’s probably acting. A good one.

[@codyraystrimple5659]

I am struggling to articulate how much this boy just broke my fucking heart. AMAZING performance. I am in awe.

[@codyraystrimple5659]

Howww was this already 2 years ago??

[@abruegger007]

You can express yourself without using Foul words!

[@chairulanshar708]

it feels like he’s telling his whole story from this damn song.

[@bryan2733]

Im imagining him singing this and looking straight to my eyes... Im crying.. 😭

[@Rumpelsmystery]

How to... create emotions with only your voice and nothing else. Wow!

[@freakfredrick]

This is my favorite version of this song. That is so emotional!

[@abruegger007]

Nope, your favorite version will be the one by... Michael Rice! So much better. He was just on American Idol

[@Moko_27]

This song gets so much more powerful if the singer is directly singing it towards someone in their mind. I got the chills right at the beginning.

[@JekylViovicente]

this is the result when u truly manifested by the lyrics of this song. it's as if he's about to burst out his past sad moments.

[@CatalinaLinal7710]

My respect and support to this wonderful man right here. You've been hurt and abandoned the way no child ever should but you found the strength to fight When I look into your eyes in this song I see a fighter and a survivor And I'm incredibly proud of you ♡

[@salvadorsueno8775]

The guy who cheered at the end is like a proud dad watching his son perform.

[@freeradicals82]

I wished he recorded and released this, cos how he sings it just breaks my heart and captures how I feel some days.

[@SpookyFoxGhostGirl]

He played Gabe in the showing of Next to Normal I saw in Syracuse and I fell in love tbh

[@danieloi2521]

His vibrato. omg.

[@hope4212]

I will not make The same mistakes that you did I will not let myself Cause my heart so much misery I will not break The way you did, you fell so hard I've learned the hard way To never let it get that far Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me Because of you I am afraid I lose my way And it's not too long before you point it out I cannot cry Because I know that's weakness in your eyes I'm forced to fake A smile, a laugh everyday of my life My heart can't possibly break When it wasn't even whole to start with Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me Because of you I am afraid I watched you die I heard you cry every night in your sleep I was so young You should have known Better than to lean on me You never thought of anyone else You just saw your pain And now I cry in the middle of the night For the same damn thing Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt Because of you I try my hardest just to forget everything Because of you I don't know how to let anyone else in Because of you I'm ashamed of my life Because it's empty Because of you I am afraid Because of you Because of you
