[@sumire_90]

Idk how you resonate ALL your songs with people like us... But ever since you've been giving teasers, I've cried at every one of them. And I cried now, once again. God bless you Jake, just for simply... understanding us. No one does that anymore.

[@ladywolf815]

Beautiful.... thank you ❤

​@@sumire_90 He is a licensed Dr in Mental Health. So I'm sure he's heard a lot of people about their PTSD, Depression, Anxiety etc. at least that's the info on him through Google. I would have loved to seen them in Charlotte,NC but I spent too much money last summer on 5 concerts and had I'd known that Aerosmith was cancelling their show in October for Charlotte and the remaining Peace Out Tour sooner, then I'd went because I paid out 2 grand for 4 tickets and that was no where close to front row. I mean I would have enjoyed them even if Steven wasn't really singing. Citizen Soldier had just popped up on my KZbin a few months ago, so I give anyone a chance when I first heard of them. And now I'm hooked!! God willing, if I'm alive and they come back next year I will be there for sure and front row! I love this band!!❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@mikeanon641]

This song brought a tear to my eyes I always feel like a burden to my wife from being in and out of hospital and almost dieing on multiple occasions she never leaves or gives up on me tho

[@Anew_Returner]

"I'd rather hear your hell than see your funeral" is such a beautiful line❤I love you guys so much

[@nixie_dream]

I kept going back on the video to hear that part over and over. They are amazing, and the timing of the release impeccable.

[@thatspellcastkkid_7672YT]

I got chills hearing that line man. Such a power line that was.

[@nixie_dream]

I did, too, especially with the line before, " I don't mind your darker side. You can lose control. " I needed to hear this today.

[@Anew_Returner]

I personally think the biggest Letdown about KZbin is if they don't avoid or filter certain words, their song will be extremely hard to discover, which takes away a lot of options with lyrics

[@margaritasatmidnight3134]

"Never get heard by thinking someone has it worse." I never realized how often I think of that. Many people have it bad, sure. But that doesn't mean you should ignore your own pain.

[@adamplummer2190]

I feel this. Everyone comes to me for help but no one's ever available when I need someone.

[@creaturristica7020]

What sucks is opening up to someone for the first time who proceeds to tell you you're not a burden and comforts you, but the next time you open up, they tell you to remember that people go through worse and you shouldn't keep complaining. It makes it sound selfish to think of your own pain even though it shouldn't be like that.

[@peytongustafson2580]

I've actually been told so. That I'm selfish for being suicidal because people have it worse than me

[@staceymalchow4528]

​​@@peytongustafson2580love that one. Like, "Gee thanks, I am at the end of my rope. I don't need to hear that just because I didn't get beaten with it first that I'm not struggling." In my case I have had so many people remind me that as I struggle with my demons I have to think of my daughters. Reminding me of something that's seared into my brain from the moment they first cried and been a thought everyday since, doesn't help. When I'm sitting in my darkness being screamed at by hordes of evil thoughts and the primary negative voice whispering the things I could do to those that have hurt me or to myself so that the pain will end. I fully understand the ramifications of a permanent solution to a temporary situation. I've managed to survive this far because I do think of these things. Those two faces are the things have stayed my hand every time I've wanted to do something that would change the scope of everything. I have been listening to this band for 8 years, and every time I need help with something there's a song that covers exactly that issue. I really am so incredibly impressed with how therapeutic it is to put words to your feelings. I have started working on things where I write either a new verse to a song that's already spoken to me or I try my hand at getting poetry out and if it fits I've sometimes sang it as part of the relevant song. I'm going through one of the darkest periods in my life right now, and it's been a war inside my head for as long as I can remember. The most recent battles have wrecked me in ways I didn't think were possible. I am still fighting because there has been so many lessons in these songs. This one, Fake Friends, Where Were You, and Heavy have each been markers on the trail out of my mental battlefield. I'm Not Okay, but I'm not a Burden, and I'm going to find ok again.

[@theresak288]

Tears thank you

[@sarahs244]

I found this video right after coming home from a psychiatry check-up where I lied to them, my mom, and my best friend that I'm doing fine when really I can feel myself slipping back. I hope I don't fall all the way back down. I still have trouble with thinking my needs are not important and that I AM a burden. This will now be one of my new favorite songs. The kind you listen to on repeat, end up forgetting about it for a bit, and rediscovering it again with the same amount of appreciation and love towards it again and again. I love your songs so much, thank you.

[@evelynwiberg1955]

​@taresadidonato5888 in my experience talking to someone is a lot harder than you think. I can't speak for others, but when I talk to someone about things it never goes well. They say it's my fault, it wasn't that bad, just suck it up, simply tell me to shut up, or start telling me how they have it so much worse. I'm not saying that they haven't had it worse because humans in general can be extremely easy but when I talk about being abused, molested, multiple attempted r*pes by family members, or my biological father giving me poison all I want is help to process it and heal. I know all the coping skills and can even help others, but I have no idea on how to help me or my daughter get through our traumas. The comments above are said by therapists, they don't even try to help my daughter.

[@lucanandrews774]

​@@evelynwiberg1955 I sincerely hope you both find some sense of peace. With autism, I don't share similar things as a means of comparison, but as a way to empathasise with who I'm talking with- like, oh, I've felt something like that too, or I've been through something similar- something I try my best to explain when I do it... though this isn't the case with everyone, as some just want to add to your hurt by saying those kinds of things to belittle your experiences, your pain and yout trauma. It's not your fault- none of it, whatsoever. No one else has worn your soul, so they have no right to say whether or not it was or wasn't something, and there's no way to accurately compare traumas without being that person, in that exact situation- it isn't possible. Trauma is trauma- it's not a pissing contest. You deserve to feel what and how you feel without someone saying you can't or you don't have any right to because "x", and you both deserve to find a path where you feel what you want to feel and be happy, healthy and safe. I hope you both can.

I, male, got a message from my female best friend today with a link to this song. She told me to feel addressed. We do this a lot. But when I listened to this song... my goodness, it hit me like a truck... It was impossible not to cry. The first and only song so far that I can't listen to without crying. Mostly because it reminds me that my reward for never giving up is by far the most wonderful person you only find once in a lifetime (and some not even in two).

[@deniseosadolor]

If am honest I think it's your female best friend, but please don't take it as the truth. Only you know it😊 She loves you so much, that she says that you can talk to her about everything. That's so sweet 😊 Am glad you found a beautiful person, I hope I will find mine too😊

Youre 100% correct i can't listen to this song and not cry. Repressed trauma from my family i guess. But I'm glad I have that one friend I can call at 3AM and she's ready to listen.

​@@deniseosadolorEh, not great to assume, ya know. He said nothing about any interest on either side beyond friendship. More likely, he was pointing out the toxic masculinity prevalent in our culture while his friend was showing him that it's his right as a human to not only have emotions but to express them when guys are so often told to repress such things.

[@tinad4032]

Much too real. 😭 I don't know how many times I thought how I am a burden and the minute you show your dark side to those that said "you are not a burden" they say "you are too much drama". But of course their issues (that I try to help with over my own needs) are never drama. I have given up on the human race. Just get up, take meds, work, zone out, take meds, sleep... on repeat. Seriously though... It is so refreshing "to be heard". Knowing that there are others who actually understand and not just saying they understand to get you "to feel better" and leave you feelin worse. Feeling sad is better than feeling nothing.

[@DEmersonJMFM]

I needed this ever since the short was first released. "Don't ever be ashamed of your needs" Some out there don't see us as burdens, though part of me always thinks it.

At the end of last year I finally got someone who basically told me everything in this song, and proved it. And let me tell you, I think it changed my life. Even if I'm still in the process of healing, me and everyone around me has noticed so much growth. I say sorry for things that aren't my fault less, I've shown who I really am in public places more, I'm even getting closer to finding out who I really am, and it's all because of that one person. That one person who finally showed me that it's ok, who encouraged me to grow without putting too much pressure on me. Let this stand as a testament of how powerful it is to just listen and be there and encourage. Let this stand as a testament of how powerful it is to just be a friend. Let this stand as a testament of how powerful it is to finally just let someone be themself. Let this also stand as a testament to never give up hope that someone out there will love you for you and who will care about you, because there's always someone, even if you haven't met them yet

And I always make sure to tell them that. I played this song for my mom, and she actually likes it. She don’t like many songs I play. You guys always write about the realest feelings.

Lyrics for myself and guys who just want to sing this masterpiece: [Verse 1] I think you say sorry too much, I think you got issues with trust From the voices in your head that say that you're too hard to love I think you still live with the ghost of people you needed the most That let you down and taught you how to keep your closet door closed [Pre-Chorus] But I've been there and I would rather die (would rather die) Than watch you drown in tears that you need to cry [Chorus] You can talk, you can talk to me I can tell that you're not okay You can spill your guts, I won't leave You are not a burden to me You can talk, you can talk to me Even down in your darkest place You can let your skeletons scream You are not a burden to me [Post-Chorus] You arе not a burden to me [Verse 2] I think that you nevеr get heard By thinking someone's got it worse Been minimized so many times That you believe it's deserved I think you've been silent since youth 'Cause every time you speak your truth You're stigmatized, retraumatized By all the things you didn't choose [Pre-Chorus] I don't mind your darker side, you can lose control (can lose control) I'd rather hear your hell than see your funeral [Chorus] You can talk, you can talk to me I can tell that you're not okay You can spill your guts, I won't leave You are not a burden to me You can talk, you can talk to me Even down in your darkest place You can let your skeletons scream You are not a burden to me [Bridge] The monsters that you're holding back There's no need to dress them up Your ugly truth gave depth to you Now there's so much more to love [Chorus] You can talk, you can talk to me I can tell that you're not okay You can spill your guts, I won't leave You are not a burden to me You can talk, you can talk to me Even down in your darkest place Don't ever be ashamed of your needs You are not a burden to me [Post-Chorus] You are not a burden, you are not a burden (You can talk, you can talk to me) (You can talk, you can talk to me) You are not burden to me (You can talk, you can talk to me) You are not a burden, burden Burden, burden [Outro] The monsters that you're holding back There's no need to dress them up Your ugly truth gave depth to you Now there's so much more to love

I have been waiting months and it is just as beautiful as I'd hope it would be. Thank you all so much this is going on repeat for a little while. I'll be seeing yall in October

[@ultran3284]

You know its pretty sad how much this song hits for me, as someone who has been silent since a kid whether its about problem or not its not an easy mindset to lose. Hearing people like family say your problems aren't as bad because im doing "better" than others so i tend to shield my problems away, or even though ive been assured i can come to people to talk to and that im not a "burden", im always scared that one day I'll become to dependent on them or just drive them away. Its a very lonely and often hurtful mindset especially for someone still young like me, but it for some reason seems right even though it hurts.

[@San-f7h]

It's not right, it's just hurting you. It's like a prison that you've built yourself.

[@ultran3284]

@San-f7h ik, it's just hard to let go

[@AmberWells-e4d]

This song made me cry more than any other. Yall express things I wish I could say. We are not burdens. We matter. All of us. No matter what. Thank you citizen soldier for all you do. Your music saves lives. Including mine.

[@sarahw9118]

"I'd rather hear your hell then your funeral" reminds me so badly of my best friend. Such a rock in my life and she doesn't even know it no matter how much I say it ❤️

[@jojoy7737]

New song babyyyyy!!!!!!

[@KookyxTaco]

You are amazing. As a father of 3 who feels like he's failing the angels that need him most. Thank you.

[@KatyaHeffner]

Love this song so much 😅 0:25

[@BrittanyNeal-b7r]

I had my husband listen to this song because it explains me and i thought he would understand me better. But....he promises me all the time I'm not a burden and it's his job to be there for me anytime i need him just as i am for him. I believe him because hes been here for me through everything, but at times i still feel like im an issue and he dont have tome to listen to my bullshit problems or like he dont care about what is going on with me. I know its just me and my stupid thinking because he has the absolute BEST man ive EVER been with, ive lived him more than any other man, and most importantly he is the first man i can actually say i have EVER fully trusted. So....i promised him i am working on those issues i have, ive also veen opening up to him more lately, and hes so proud. God, i appreciate that man so much, and in grateful i found MY PERSON and he is showing me someone can truly love me with all of his heart and acccept the person i am and also not take advantage of me and how sweet and kind of woman i am.

[@cat4911]

I have waited so long for this song. I needed this. It made me cry. I always feel like a burden to my family

[@SaraA.Beauvais]

[@nicolegerhardt9018]

Du hast Platz 1 in den Charts verdient. Du bist derjenige der ein wirklich verstehen tut. Du bist ein wunderbarer Mensch

[@bri_6085]

Thank you. Adjusting to college is being difficult and just when I needed it the most, I found this song.

[@vienecezar9315]

This song is for me. I have only me.

[@Rena_TheFallenAngel8887]

I love this band. The lyrics in their songs make me feel I'm not alone. I LOVE YOU CITIZEN SOLDIER ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@foxatronix1742]

I don't cry from much and I've never had what I'd call a bad upbringing but I needed this. I cried in my school library quietly because of this. My dad passed away before I could even graduate highschool and hearing this makes me think that this is my dad,that I'm making him proud, even when I think I'm not worthy of it. This song making me cry feels so good. Thank you, CS

[@ForMeNotAgainstMe]

Thousand Foot Krutch would also he something you may like, and idk, but I also love Chemical Wisdom by Disciple. You may relate or another is Things Left Unsaid by them.

[@IrmaSummerall]

I am living my life to the fullest

[@TheWeatherkingdom_2026]

Man come on you keep hitting me deeper

[@mariascott9101]

Your not a burden too me it makes me cry

[@Izzy14563]

My friends and family don't understand what I go through so this song means a lot to me. It says all the things I'm too scared to say in fear of losing those I love.

[@ForMeNotAgainstMe]

If you'd be open to it, I recommend the song "Invisible" by Disciple 😊

[@margaretfoster9767]

Love this 🧡❣️🧡❣️🧡

[@Luximinata]

what one would pay to be heard at least once... great song 🤟

[@DireNight_Drnt_]

FINALLYYYYYY!!!!!!! i have been ecstatic about this song since I seen it on facebook!!

[@Serenity_93]

I cried so hard listening to this song last night on repeat 😭

[@michelle823]

Thank you for putting how I feel into words for me yet again. “Your ugly truth gives depth to you now there’s so much more to love” those words are so validating and gives me strength to keep fighting through the hell.

[@Cookie._.Crumble.___.222]

This is a Masterpiece

[@alanapotkonjak7]

I seriously will not ever be able to express just how much this band means to me. They have saved me so many times, from myself, from the darkness, and all the pain that just never leaves so from my very soul thank you for writing and singing and sharing you guys are saving lives including mine ❤❤❤❤❤

[@MeepSkye_Arts]

Ima cry :D Edit: 'I'd rather hear your hell than see your funeral' hits hard, damn..

[@RavenHound]

"You can spill you guts. I won't leave. You're not a burden to me." This song hits hard for another time. I spill my guts, my problems, my emotions out to the one I see most, and I believe that I'm a burden to everyone. But I also still believe that the one I see doesn't think that. Thank you for another lovely song to helping others up Citizen Soldier

[@Flameburn93]

I dedicate this song to my Mom. shes my rock through all the hard times for me. Love you mommy

[@feather7963]

I remember having mental breakdown and i had my friend talking with me over discord, man this song made my cry all over again. This year tho I was able to overcome anxiety, started going to gym, got my first job and positively thinking about future, but my self doubt is still attacking relentlessly. I guess im still not enough for myself, but i have great friends that still remind me that my brain is saying gibberish

[@PvP_Katze]

Just hold on to your people, they really care for you. 💪

[@shawnbaker8821]

I don't know you but I can assure you that your enough find the people that understand you and never let them go.

[@RockerEmilio]
