Seeing the Terrell show where she talks about her history with her dad gives this song so much sad but strong meaning

[@joyswanigan7025]

That's exactly what I thought of when i heard this😔

[@AirForceFalcons_9922]

@@joyswanigan7025 Me too. That was painful to watch and know that her dad abandoned two beautiful little girls and strong beautiful wife. Leaving was the best thing he did.

[@RealionairesClub]

I've never really broken down and cried over never having my mum and dad present in my life but 2 mins in and I'm in agony. But I'm embracing it as I know we men need to cry and break down to process what was buried so deep. ✌🏾

"You're Not Here" I wish you knew the person I am The way I hold my heart in my hands The way I sing like it's the air that I breathe People say it's everything I whistle still, crack my knuckles too Cause these are the two things you, you taught me to do They get on my mother's nerves, maybe cause I learned it from you I hope one day there's more for me to choose Until that day I wish this to be true When I run, I'm running to your arms And when I sing, I'm singing to your heart I feel you near in my moments of fear But when I open up my eyes I see it clear It's only in my dreams that you are here You're not here Did you know I dropped out of school Nineteen years old with a whole lot to prove Carried on through my doubts All to figure out Who I was meant to be Ten years later Twenty nine years old Got my poor heart broken Did it over the phone Was in a hotel room And I was all alone I was alone I wanted to run, run into your arms And cry while you held me to your heart Feel you near in my moment of fear But I opened up my eyes and wiped the tears It was only in my dreams that you were here And now you're missing out On how I get to live the life that I forever and a day had dreamed about And it's a shame you won't be there for the joy I've yet to share Because in spite of you I'm here oh yes I'm here And I'm in love and it's for real and you'll never get to meet them But I truly hope you're happy where you are It's unfortunate we end before we start I hope you know I'll always love you from afar But I can't ignore the part That wants to run, run into your arms And sing until it pierces through your heart Feel you near in my moments of fear I know that it's a dream, and you're not here I'm holding onto dreams 'cause you're not here You'll never be here

I heard this song clip on The Resident Ep 5 Season 5 and I immediately paused the show and scoured the internet with what little lyrics I heard. I’m adding this to the short list of my favorite songs of all time. Beautifully done, deep lyrics and just *smh* wow. So thank you for all you put into creating this song. I FELT what you put out and I’m totally moved.

This song has become so special to me, if anyone knew how to make an instrumental version of it so I could sing it, id be forever grateful. Honestly, I'm in love with her voice and this song is magical

[@brandonplays702]

3:46 was that a reference to the color purple? If so, that gives it another layer of meaning

[@rolandahewitt1657]

She's speaking of how drastically her life has changed. From being just a young woman in England with little means to a now worldwide celebrity living her dream, winning awards, hanging out with celebrities, being a millionaire, etc.

[@karla3460]

It always amazes me how music is able to float into every inch of your body and mind, and just bring so much joy and also so much sorrow. Such a captivating song and so stunningly sung🙏 And especially those words "It's unfortunate we end before we start", to me, just truly encapsulate how fast life and people may pass us by, and how unfair it can be in life that some leave us sooner than we expect or wish them to.. In many ways, it is a powerful reminder of, how valuable it is to cherish those that stay by our side and those that walk beside us for a while, but also to be able to make peace with those that leave us and our choice of letting someone go... ❤

[@whatever.a.d.h]
