Four months ago on veterans day i was with my friend from childhood when he overdosed on heroin and died. I just want you to know how much this song touched my heart... i am also a recovering heroin addict i have almost 4 months sober now. Since that night my whole entire world has changed, his missing presence is the reason i will never turn back to that life of running from my pain. Thank you so very much for your heart and this song!!
Lisa you are such an inspiration. You have me in tears every time I listen to this song. Keep writing! A guy named Matt brought me to your channel and I have been following ever since! You have helped me to where I am today. <3
I love this song very much but its really hard for me to listen to it... my brother just recently got out of jail and he dissapeared again :( Im afraid i will never see him again. Thanks for the song its beautiful. If anyone in the chesapeak virginia area run into a man named Patrick Hagg... tell him Annie said he can come home. Thank you
This song is perfect.. I struggled with my brother's addiction and thank's God he could finally got out of it. Thank you for writing this song, I love your voice.
I'm 14 and I struggled with the death of my mom, who lost her life to addiction, and I'm going the same way. But not so much with drugs. I used to feel like I was the only one who was going through this, but in reality it happens to a lot of people. Thank you so much for writing this song.
Hi Michael her and yes that's my real name and I know that your not talking about me but this is the first time I came up on this video and I just wanted to say your voice puts me to sleep and I mean that in a good way there soooooo much I could say but I just love it :) thank you
Thank you so much for this! My husband (of almost 5 years) passed away in August of this year. (Due to an accidental overdose..) It helps me to know that there are others out there struggling with the same problems.
how could someone click dislike to this video? wonderful lyrics, wonderful voice and wonderful song full of soul. The rest of world needs to hear this song.
this video actually brought tears to my eyes you can see really good keep it up and the comment from legit16 made me tear up listen to the song and then reading some things that people go thur i can relate to this song in many ways im not using drugs but i have so many family members that are using i see how it has took over the lifes and what they will go thur to just get high i love this song so much lisa i really do i dont now why you ant on tv yet that was so amazing
I personally deal with addiction and relapse all the time. Its not something u can just simply stop, its a disease with no cure. This song Lisa really moved me. Everytime I feel like im slipping I try my hardest to realize that its not just me that has to suffer. Its all those that love me. Always remind ur brother how much u love him and that ur there for him. In my prayers I will keep Michael and all those that suffer everyday.
@peede1 My cousin just got off pot, I gave him this Bible verse and it really seemed to help him. He told me that every time he wants to smoke he just reads that verse. Isaiah 53:5 "But He was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed." :) Message me if you ever need to talk, I will be praying that things go well for you! :)
My love has "fallen off the wagon" with drugs for the second time and he can't see what it does to me, to his family who also struggles with their own addictions. Please keep them in your prayers. This song really touched me.
Cody, it killed you and GOD gave you a second chance please don't let this disease "ADDICTION" kill you. I don't see MY CODY anymore, please hear me out. I'm in love with you and you don't even know, if I get 15 likes i'll tell you how I feel but unil then i'll leave these words unspoken.
Love this song! Means the world to me.. the love of my life, also named Michael, went through this before I knew him and listening to this song gives me chills.
I commented on this close to a year ago.. well my mom lost her battle to addiction Wednesday 9/21/11 I am so lost and have never felt so much pain in my life.. I miss her sooo much .. I don't know if I'll ever be the same.. I LOVE YOU MOMMA... MAY YOU REST IN PEACE!
Your have a beautiful soul Lisa <3 This song made me cry. The raw emotion and feeling in your music makes you a far more talented artist than most celebrities out there.
I had a best friend, and this song describes her... I know exactly how it feels to love and care for someone so much and watch them slip slowly. I know exactly how it feels when your heart is breaking. I know exactly how it feels to watch them walk and to watch them slowly start to die. I know exactly how the pain feels. I know exactly the hurt and confusion. I know exactly what it feels like to not know why they are running. All I can do is pray and believe. Lisa? How's your brother doing now?

wow this rocks i love it!!! the message is one many people need to hear. i use to have a crush on some one who got into drugs and alcohol. now i don't know where he is or how he's doing. i wish he could hear this maybe it would snap him out of it. best of luck to your brother. i hope he can get better really soon. =]
Beautiful song! I have almost 2 years clean and sober and this song brings me chills. At the meeting today at the end when we have a moment of silence ill be praying for him. The addicts before me praying for the still suffering is how i made it to recovery so just know that someone out there is still praying. no one is to far gone...<3
i love this song because i can relate to it so well because of my own personal experience with my own brother Michael... i love this song.... i love you Lisa.... and i love you soo much Michael
I already comented on your facebook about this song, but i can't get over it, i lost my boyfriend of 6 years (im 23) last march, 2 days before my birthday, and i STILL used for awhile after that to "cooe" im proud to say ive been off my drug of choice for a little over a year now. sometimes you have to lose everything, everyone, or even part of yourself, to hit the bottom. I am praying for your brother and all the addicts that are hurting today and everyday, and I
okay ppl for real.... 9 ppl need to smacked severely hard. im sorry but i say wat i think and honestly, i think that if you don't like it don't freaking listen to it because the rest of us would like to enjoy it w/out your 2sense. sorry.... just putting that out there. thank you Lisa for putting this song on here. i can relate perfectly and i listen to this song at least eight times a day for that reason.
Again niceely done. I can hear your voice quite clearly here and it's top notch.
This is clearly heart felt. I knew Michael personally and we were very close for the 5 years before the trial verdict that found him not guilty. When I heard he had died I wrote this poem. It's not as good as your song. It has no music. I realize there isn't room here so I'll put it on your youtube site. I hope you like it.
an amazing moment you are sharing here, beautiful despite the pain, its quite incredible. I'm certain you can touch and move many with this song and your most sincere vocal.
If you need any help in the distribution side of your music and you don't know who I am, ask others in the music crowds. Most do, or at least think they do. I am sure you are managed and on a label of some kind. I am not trying to step on any toes but rather lend a hand as only I can where others fall short. just ask
This is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this. The lyrics are incredible and you can really see all of your passion. I am sitting in tears now because of you :)
@melxmusicxlover ive been in your position and its never a good place to be. the only thing you can do is know that no matter how bad things are now, there will come a day where you will be free and you will be able to say that you made it through. that i promise you will be the best day of your life.
i too watched "the light leave someones eyes" my mom had an addiction. this ment locked doors and very little interaction. we both suffered abuse and soo much struggle. luckily my mom refound something she loved so dearly. the birth of my lil sister saved her life. this just proves that just because the light is gone doesnt mean it wont return. this song made me cry because i am so grateful. your so talented. please never give up hope and never stop what your doing. this song saved my life
My real dad abandond me when I was 2 from his addiction to marijuana. My step dad is drinking and smoking and is violent towards me alot. I dont know where to run to. I have noone. I've thought about taking drugs myself to ease my pain... please pray for me.
I recently found my brother billy after he Hung himself do to addiction to his drug of choice... He left his two kids and wife behind along with a big family who loved him dearly... This song hit real close to home.. you are amazingly talented.
absolutely beautiful song nd voice! new fan! please keep posting- ur incredible nd ur clearly touching many lives through ur vids. please check out my channel! thank you!
p.s. my name is michael so being curious i searched "michael's song". so glad i did.
this song has touched me in so many ways. my exs name is michael an he has a herion addiction its so sad.. this song describes it perfectly.. you are a very talented woman thank you for posting this video..
I SO WISH YOU WOULD RECORD THIS SO WE CAN USE THIS SONG IN A SKIT!!! YOU HAVE A GREAT VOICE AND A WONDERFUL SONG! I'M A PART OF A TEAM CALLED RISQUE BUSINESS AND WE GO STATE TO STATE AND DIFFERENT SCHOOLS PERFORMING SKITS ON ADDICTION DRUG AND ALL TYPES OF OTHER ABUSE TEEN PREGNANCY ABSTINENCE AND ALL TYPE OF PROBLEMS TEENS MAY FACE AND THIS IS JUST THE PERFECT SONG TO WRITE A SKIT TO! THINK ABOUT IT! :)
omgshh first id like to start off by saying you have a beautiful voice, really this song just got to me.moved me to tears..it takes a true artist to move people to tears..i love youu and this song<3 my mother has an addiction :'( </3
you are amazing and truly an inspiration, the first time I heard this I just wanted to cry. You put so much soul and hard work into your work and I hope you continue on! I would just like to thank you for putting yourself on youtube.
"I don't understand what keeps you running, away from the ones that you love, my heart is breaking cause I fear you are to far gone." You have no idea how much I can relate to that... My best friend seems like she's just gone, and I pray for her all the time but I can't change her... She was so on fire for God then all the sudden the world and things in it get in the way... Sometimes I just sit down and sob because I don't understand what is keeping her running...
This is a beautiful song Lisa. Your song touched my heart as I too have a loved one that is struggling with his addiction....Your song stated everything I have been feeling, I guess we all feel the same at times.
I didnt ever have an addiction to drugs but I used to cut. I met the love of my life who I will b marrying in two months and I havent cut in 2 years and 9 months. if I feel like I want to cut I just listen to this song and then look at my fiance' and the urge is gone. thanks
this song reminds me of my papa. he was an alcoholic. one night he came home drunk but everyone just so happened to b gone that night. he fell down the stairs and that blow to the head killed him. this song is so beautiful.
lisa this is TRUELY amazing. ): i will pray for your brother. im so inspired by you!!! i want to sing this for my talent show. this is SUCH a beautiful song! love this. keep on with this. one day i hope for your to add me on facebook and send me a message,
This song is amazing! Its says so much...I am a recovering addict at the age of 25 I have been sober for almost 2 years. Theres alot of people out there who never make it to where I am. I want to send my prayers out to all the struggling addicts. Give it go God!
@Vyranica I pray for you and your father and i wish you both the best. One day he'll come out of it and realize he has a daughter to care for instead of abusing a drug. chin up
THIS IS SAD :( BUT DEEP AND YOU FEEL IT AND THATS WHAT MAKES YOU..YOU, AND AMAZING. I AM SO STOKED THAT I FOUND YOU TODAY!! HOW OLD ARE YOU? IF YOU DON'T MIND ME ASKING.. YOU ARE GORGEOUS GIRL, AND A VOICE FROM ABOVE, GOD BLESS ~ALLIE~
i have to say this song has made me cry bcz i used to be one of those ppl i was wasting my life on beer acid and weed as often as i could and now i have broke free from it i hope more ppl like me and your brother hear this song and start to understand what they are doing to themselve i love you song and i really appreciate it i love all your songs and i will pray for your brother as well as you to get through what you are both going through Much Love To You And Your Brother Elijah Tatman
My cousin ellie died a few days ago from a drug overdose. She was only 18 and had so much to live for. She was amazing at taking pictures of nature and its so hard to believe shes gone. She weighed 80 pounds when she died. No one should hae to go through this!
This is such a beautiful song with a wonderful message. My mother is an alcoholic and former drug addict who is schizophrenic, and my father is a former alcoholic and former drug addict. I grew up without a mother and father and to this day my mother still is in a very poor mental state. People don't realize the effects addiction brings, in many cases it causes mental problems, and sometimes even death. Anybody with an addiction please stop before you hurt yourself and those around you!!
he was my my hero, the one person i could always lean on. it was us against the world.and i slowly started waatching "the light leave his eyes" and the is the exact that happened. everytime i look in his eyes i see nothingness. The man i knew the hopes , dreams and faith is gone. i have fought hard for months the help my hero but he has no hope for him self. when i hear you song i get chills. The feelings in my mind turned into i melody.ThankU,
@TheBreeze1313 My brother's name is Michael as well. Same situation so many hopes & dreams that came crashing down because of drugs. This song is beautiful & you could have not said it better with the feelings we have put into a song. I just can't get how someone can change so much for the worse & take everyone down around them along for the ride. It's a horrible thing to go through. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Good luck to you & your brother.
@TheBreeze1313 i know your brothers pain. never give up on him, as long as there is at least someone who believes in you there is hope. i wish you and your brother the best, the great thing about losing hope is you can always find it again. love isnt always shown in a kiss some times its a boot in the ass.

I am so Blown away !!! This is so beautiful!! Very Talented !! The song speaks truth and touches the very soul and she is an amazing singer!! Thank you so much for shareing this!!
does... anyone know what happened to my original comment?? (some viewers of this know what i mean). it had been a top cmt that manyy POURED support over for 5 months now. i came to reply to someone today and the original from monthsss ago is.... gone??
there'd been no negative feedback & the replies became a staple here as we'd all been pulled together in community.
but today it's just... gone?? missing from the highest rated section & NOwhere in all the cmts. :'( what happened? ..thoughts?
Wow, Lisa! This song brought a tear to my eyes. While what I experienced during this past holiday break doesn't involve "addictions", it just reminded me of my brother whom was in the hospital for depression. He wasn't suicidal or anything, thankfully, but we of course were all worried for him. And i'm not a crier in any way, but this song, and what I experienced over the holdays...made me cry for the first time in a long time...thank you!
I understand what its like losing someone to drugs, my older brother fell into it when he was 16 in 2008 and now suffers from a mental illness :( beautiful song.
reminds me of my parents...more of my mom then my dad...my dad got his self together but my mom...she just went down the wrong path. As hard as she tried to do better it just swollowed her whole...GREAT SONG...keep going your really GOOD!!!!
My brothers addicted to drugs. I don't really like to talk about it, but his life is really going no where. I remember how he used to be. Thank you so much for this song <3 it comforted me.
You have got such a great talent! I know you've got all these people telling you how amazing you are, rightfully so, but just remember who made it all possible and created you that way! Always remember to be humble, for you have been blessed and there's nothing more beautiful then a beautiful girl with a great heart to match <3 God bless! :]
Dear Lisa, I must say you are an inspiration! Your voice is so raw and pure and it's just captivating. & this song is incredible!! Eer since the first time i heard it I can't go a day without listening to it..
Now, I know your used to hearing how amazing you are [because you are lol] but the most important thing to remember when God has blessed you, as He has, is to always be humble. There's nothing more beautfiul then a beautiful girl with a great voice and a heart to match. God bless <3
i can very much relthis song touches my heart because my oldest sister is 22 and has struggled with slamming dope since she was 15, she is now in prison for her own good . be4 she went in she was close to dying, prison actually saved her life in the long run her daughter loves and missses her but when she gets out she will be going into rehab, my brother is now clean and went down the same path and scarily i feel like maybe some day i could end up on the same path, amazing song , amzing talent
Thank you so much for this song. My uncle was an alcoholic, which got to his liver before he could save himself. He passed away at 55. My father has been an alcoholic for a very long time and I am praying that he will get better in the future. Addictions are heartbreaking. They take away a special relationship that used to exist. I want to send out my love to anyone who is dealing with a situation like this <3
@JulietOriginals go up to him, with friends and family and have a confrontation, have everyone tell him how they feel about his addiction, it's hard to get over one and he may need some help, and praying wont help, it's just the same as not doing anything at all. Do it soon, while you still have the chance.
ive heard stories of people like me turning to drugs because of problems like bullying (which i still go through now) and abuse (me mainly emotional)...my whole life ive said id never touch drugs...and now im even further away from falling to them...Thank you so much Lisa.
I think the best way to put the term "Addiction" is not the need...But the want, the urge, the temptation...But then of course the only way someone could understand this is once someone has been ADDICTED. Besides that point this is a beautiful song.
Im so sorry you had to go through that i pray he gets better addiction is a horrible thing. i know such a sad song but you are amazing and have amazing talent ....
Im so sorry you had to go through that i pray he gets better addiction is a horrible thing. i know such a sad song but you are amazing and have amazing talant
I love this song... the first time I heard it I cried.. it hit pretty close to home.. BUT you have a lovely voice, and did an awesome job on this song <3
I normally dont comment on videos but this 1 was a great song me and my sister deal with our mothers addiction everyday and this song really touched me! U have amazing talent! :-)
that is a very emotional comment.. i have cried to this song many times.. my mom was addicted to prescription drugs.. not by choice but she has had many surgeries and it just happened.. she still isnt completely better but its better than before.. i just want her to stop.. i miss my mom :(
@brittanyGTFO oh goodness, dollface. i am so very very sorry to hear that. i pray that your mother can find the strength, a good monitoring doctor and you can get her back. my father's an addict, too. a missing parent leaves holes no one can fill.
Up late...coming down...found this....a beautiful slap in the face....thank you.

I am sure you are managed and on a label of some kind. I am not trying to step on any toes but rather lend a hand as only I can where others fall short. just ask

i too watched "the light leave someones eyes" my mom had an addiction. this ment locked doors and very little interaction. we both suffered abuse and soo much struggle. luckily my mom refound something she loved so dearly. the birth of my lil sister saved her life. this just proves that just because the light is gone doesnt mean it wont return. this song made me cry because i am so grateful. your so talented. please never give up hope and never stop what your doing. this song saved my life

"I don't understand what keeps you running, away from the ones that you love, my heart is breaking cause I fear you are to far gone." You have no idea how much I can relate to that... My best friend seems like she's just gone, and I pray for her all the time but I can't change her... She was so on fire for God then all the sudden the world and things in it get in the way... Sometimes I just sit down and sob because I don't understand what is keeping her running...

This is such a beautiful song with a wonderful message. My mother is an alcoholic and former drug addict who is schizophrenic, and my father is a former alcoholic and former drug addict. I grew up without a mother and father and to this day my mother still is in a very poor mental state. People don't realize the effects addiction brings, in many cases it causes mental problems, and sometimes even death. Anybody with an addiction please stop before you hurt yourself and those around you!!

@TheBreeze1313 My brother's name is Michael as well. Same situation so many hopes & dreams that came crashing down because of drugs. This song is beautiful & you could have not said it better with the feelings we have put into a song. I just can't get how someone can change so much for the worse & take everyone down around them along for the ride. It's a horrible thing to go through. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Good luck to you & your brother.

@TheBreeze1313 i know your brothers pain. never give up on him, as long as there is at least someone who believes in you there is hope. i wish you and your brother the best, the great thing about losing hope is you can always find it again. love isnt always shown in a kiss some times its a boot in the ass.

Wow, Lisa! This song brought a tear to my eyes. While what I experienced during this past holiday break doesn't involve "addictions", it just reminded me of my brother whom was in the hospital for depression. He wasn't suicidal or anything, thankfully, but we of course were all worried for him. And i'm not a crier in any way, but this song, and what I experienced over the holdays...made me cry for the first time in a long time...thank you!

Thank you so much for this song. My uncle was an alcoholic, which got to his liver before he could save himself. He passed away at 55. My father has been an alcoholic for a very long time and I am praying that he will get better in the future. Addictions are heartbreaking. They take away a special relationship that used to exist. I want to send out my love to anyone who is dealing with a situation like this <3
JulietOriginals 1 year ago 20
@JulietOriginals go up to him, with friends and family and have a confrontation, have everyone tell him how they feel about his addiction, it's hard to get over one and he may need some help, and praying wont help, it's just the same as not doing anything at all. Do it soon, while you still have the chance.

I think the best way to put the term "Addiction" is not the need...But the want, the urge, the temptation...But then of course the only way someone could understand this is once someone has been ADDICTED. Besides that point this is a beautiful song.
