[echildress23]

LOVE this song!! One of my favorites by far!!!



[Janna5697]

I always feel so alone.. its like no one in the world understands me.. i think about running away, but the thing is i don't know where to go.

[SwagDakota]

I Listen to this song and think

'This Is Almost The Same As Mine'

Ive Been Smoking The Green Since I Was 11 Years Old

My Parents Threw Me Out To Live On My Own And Im Just Know Turning 13

I Couldnt Wait To Get Away Since I Was 9 Years Old

Now All I Can Think Is

As I Walk Around This Small Town All I Use To Have Was Big City Dreams, When You Hit The Real Life All You Want To Do Is Go Back And Right Know It Isnt Sounding That Bad

Ive Never Been A Fan Of My Parents But I Mean Damn COMEON!

[TunnelSnakesRulez]

@SwagDakota so right now your on them streets living that "hard life" that you dont even know about? Come on im so sure, stop trying to be an attention whore. Atleast tell the truth, ill tell you mine iv been smoking "the green" only a few months now cause i lost both my parents. Be thankful for what you got!!! I lost the girl of my dreams, Im alone in this world living on the "streets" but you know what Christofers music sure does help at the end of the day. Grow up for real, k? k.

[TunnelSnakesRulez]

@SwagDakota scratch that, worst day of my life is today! i lost my brother in a car accident, now i have nothing to live for, my lifes destroyed and i lost all hope in everything. Thanks for looking like a dick.

[TheLeslybieber]

[ThePlaitmasterrrr]

so much respect for nevershoutnevers male fans-obviously the real deal;not just here for the looks

[LegacySilence]

I live in a small town, I gave up on my dreams. I never go to school. My mom plans to kick me out as soon as i'm old enough.

[amomaluvsboys25]

If there's one thing I'd tell life

It would be this:

You Suck!!

[synyester1]

i want to cry every time i hear this song and i am a boy...

[mrsbieber1012]

Everytime i listen to this song i cry :'(

[XgeorgiaXunicornX]

i used to lie. i still lie. i lie about being okay. i hide behind my smile, and its really hard. i scratch myself to cope, thats really hard too. no one knows. welll, no one that hasnt read this comment. please someone message me...help?

[HeadInTheClouds69]

@XgeorgiaXunicornX :(

[bunnyrabbitmassacre]

@XgeorgiaXunicornX Go up and talk to someone new, be a friend and good friends will come. Find a stranger willing to listen and talk your heart out to them, I'm dealing with similar problems right now and it helps to talk to someone big time. I'm here to listen actually

[thesweetygirl1000]

oh god the tears are starting :'(

[SavannahxAshley13]

[SavannahxAshley13]

Whoever is reading this right now is beautiful. Just be you don't let anyone get to you. I too can relate to this song. I live in a small town, unfortunately there a mean people everywhere. Nobody at all deserves to be called names or hurt in anyway either physically or mentally. Personally, I don't hate anyone, but I can't stand some people. Just please remember if you're hurt don't harm yourself. That goes for you too @SpazzieGracie Things will get better. I promise. <3 Don't harm yourself. <3

[vampywitchgirl]

if i ever meet chris im seriously giving him a hug.........

[JamieFoxxxxxxx]

I love this song. ^-^

[paigetheawesomest]

I'm from a town where every one treats you like a piece of shit because you're different.

[FreeHugFriday121]

i live in a fucking small ass town and everyone hates me and im going to post about it because everyone else is and this song just brings up the memories. EVERYONE PITY ME.

[ILoveMattism]

@FreeHugFriday121 shut the fuck up and leave

[FreeHugFriday121]

@ILoveMattism haa no.

[ILoveMattism]

@FreeHugFriday121 HA YESSSSSSS 

[FreeHugFriday121]

@ILoveMattism nooooooooooooooooo :D

[ILYCailConxMEN]

ive grown up in a small town. where theres nothing to do but smoke cigareettes and listen to christofer drew. but every sense of inspiration i gather makes me grow :) i want to meet lots of people and touch others with my music . but thanks to this guy singing, ive become aware of commercialism, all i need in life is my guitar and to remain comfortably anononmys :)

[iLiveInHarmony]

It's really hard to live up to what everyone expects from you. And it's really hard to be strong for yourself and other people too. I wish I was the girl people think I am.

[Redwhiteblue8]

@iLiveInHarmony Well, then you'd only be a paper girl. Just be the person you want to be. Because, in the end, it's your life.

[xXSkittleSlayerXxo]

I live in a mean small town, where looks are everything (hell nowadays looks are everything wherever u are) but still, if ur not pretty, or attractive u get treated like shit. i have big dreams, i play piano and guitar, and i write lyrics/poetry, my music is the only thing that gets me through it all,, i cry listening to this song, so much meaning and relation i can feel to it,, :\

[joeymcflyer]

i can relate to this so much... shit

[DakotaB97]

I've moved into a small town when i was 11.... Sadly started smoking at 13 as well. I started writing my own songs about my past and how things have gotten bad and how things have changed for me a lot. I can relate to this song so much. I've just walked out of my house so many times. & I also started smoking weed and 14. I wish i never started.. I'm glad i heard this song, it was a start for a new beginning.

[ryuukatamura]

*Despise. 

[zakkosaurusrex]

@ryuukatamura haha i just noticed that.

[NovaScotiaPride]

Wow this is a really deep song, says so much

[nfr11]

THIS IS SO DAMN REALITY. I CANT EVEN FIGURE OUT MY LIFE.....

[SpazzieGracie]

I can relate to this song so much! The town I live in, everyone is mean to me. It doesn't matter if I know them or not, they will be mean. So I started smoking and drinking. I'v become a complete drunk and I'm about to start on pills even. Life sucks and all I want is someone to love me. The person I thought did, doesn't...He left just like everyone else...

[Crazyjoe144]

@SpazzieGracie im sorry to hear that... i recently started cutting cause of my tourbles.. youll find someone god has a plan for you... but only if you accept it

[SpazzieGracie]

@Crazyjoe144 This made me smile :) Thank you :) And I know I should be the last one to talk but you shouldn't cut. It isn't healthy and one slip up and you're life ends instantly. Don't start cutting because of your troubles. Rather than cut you should talk to someone, or put on your favorite song, or go for a walk or just keep yourself busy. Anytime you feel like cutting you should get up and do something to get you're mind off of it. And I'm always willing to talk so hit me up if you want :)

[bunnyrabbitmassacre]

@SpazzieGracie You are more beautiful than anyone can ever tell you. You are a creation that was made beautiful and no one can ever tell you that you are anything less than perfect. The only one that can let anyone hurt you is yourself. Remember that.

[SpazzieGracie]

@bunnyrabbitmassacre Thank you so much for this loevly compliment :) I was having a really hard day and this really made me feel better. Thank you <3 :D

[bunnyrabbitmassacre]

@SpazzieGracie Your welcome, Idk who you are personally, but I know that you are important. God told me to say something nice to you out of all the other people who have posted on here, so you must be very important to Him. And therefore you are important to me. :)

[SpazzieGracie]

@bunnyrabbitmassacre I'm glad to hear that I matter to someone :D I really appreciate you being so kind to me

[bunnyrabbitmassacre]

@SpazzieGracie chat me up anytime, im a stranger willing to listen and we can become friends easily, ill prlly end up telling you a ton about myself really soon. it's how i do.

[SpazzieGracie]

@bunnyrabbitmassacre You seem like a really kind person. I'd love to be friends with you :)

[SpazzieGracie]

@bunnyrabbitmassacre Thank you :) You have no idea how much your comment means to me :)

[StrawberryCupcake555]

[BoBhatesyouu]

@xoLivBoo it's not nerd, it's fucking orthography rules

[Msilikejellybeansxx]

@BoBhatesyouu Chris and I*

[MissBlueSkys11]

i live in a small town, that is pure hell for me to be in. I would rather be almost anywhere than this small, mean town that has no place for a person with dreams as big as mine. I have no way to leave until i am 18, but as soon as i am i will leave this place and only return for my parents. nothing is holding me here but them, especially my mom. music is my only refuge, this song helps more than most :/

[xXRawrrImmaKittyXx]

@MissBlueSkys11 I dont know exactly why you feel this way but Ill tell you this - I feel the same way about my town. This place is hell. A little town filled with so many people that do nothing but hate on people that arent like them. I have not many friends but what can you do until you can stand up and do shit? I really relate to this song as well.

[killmexhatemexloveme]

@MissBlueSkys11 I live in a small town where no one minds their own business... I'm being harrassed by a guy :/

[AnthonypadillaILY]

Poor baby ;(

[adamtheidiot]

i love chris's songs they have so much meaning<3

[AllTimeLowLover2003]

Whoever disliked this song clearly has no heart and doesn't even understand what Chris was going through.

[0xDropDead]

I recognize myself in this song.. and it made me cry.

[jenjen383]

i live in a smal town that dosent have a clue..... that i hate it here. ive been here my whole life smoking cigarettes making it by just on pure luck. im diffrent then everyone else here.unlike everyone else i stand for something and most of the time im standing alone.ive asked my parent a thousand times to move, to start over, but they said the money isent right, but as soon as im 18 im leaveing and im never coming back. im going to leave everyone behind and im going to prove them wrong.<3

[DKsparks13]

@jenjen383 good plan, im sure it will work. go to the southeast, its the best chance you will have to make somethign of yourself.

[jenjen383]

@DKsparks13  Thanks:)

[SnakeMaster477]

My town hated me and my family I was accused about alot of crimes that i didn't comit so do'nt leave my house but when i go to school people just stares at me. I feel so alone ........ my friends are gangsters and crooks I'm just a poor boy.

[emaisgolden]

@SnakeMaster477 I'm really sorry

I have been accused of things too...things I didn't even have a part in or even knew about.

Just hang in there and it will get better....okay this sounds weird sense I dont even know you.....okay sorry so i'll go now...bye

[shane1marryme]

mommy I want to be Christopher Drew Ingle when I grow up...

NeverSh☮utNever

[DeathsInAugust]

I left home when I was 15 because my step dad kicked me out and that day when I told my mom I was leaving... she cried... it killed me... im not a bad kid... I just wanted someone to love me... for who I am

[Rachellovsu]

everytime i type this in on youtube, i vow not to cry.

chris: my mother nearly cried when i told her that wanted to go, just to prove them wrong.

me: not... going... to.... cry.....

chris: ive been smoking cigarettes since i was only 14

me: BAHHH. *starts crying*

[FlyAwayFall]

I've grown up in a small town where theres nothing to do. The only thing that keeps me sane is my guitar, and my music. I started smoking with I was 14, and smoking marijuana soon after that and I am not ashamed. I can't make it through a day of school, I fight with my parents sometimes, and Im generally laughed at by my peers. I dream of running away someday. All I ever truly wanted in life was Love and for everyone to know peace.

[MsShadowkiller]

@FlyAwayFall I love you:) does that count?:)

[FlyAwayFall]

@MsShadowkiller Yes. Thank you so much. I love you also! :)

[rkoinmypants]

Why, must i always cry to your songs.?</3

[50026245]

[BlakeTheJaffaCake]

1: Search rainymood on google

2: Play this song at the same time

3: Enjoy the best thing you've ever heard.

:')

[BVBFantastic]

Shit I'm not gonna lie, this song is really the story of my life. I've had a pretty bad life. I started smoking when I was 14 just to escape the people who hated me. I also might have smoked some green...once or twice...or more. It doesn't matter, but seriously this song describes me in everyway!!!!

[SunnyANDAsh]

OMG This song is his Life Story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MabbitTehRabbit]

Storyofmylife</3

[ReadyWoeWolfgirl]

[iwuvjimsturgess]

This is just like my life. Well guess what? We took a vacation to Joplin once, This is my ringtone and one of my friends called me when I was walkig down the steet with a nevershoutnever shirt on, and everyone looked like they wanted to kill me. That town IS mean!!!!!

[MsKameoo]

and that we love each other <3

[moonlitwolf1]

This song always makes me cry. c:

I can relate to him so well, and I appreciate this band so much. <3 If they were never around, then I'd probably have nothing to look forward to in life. Right now I'm trying to work hard just to go to an NSN concert. I love nsn, and nobody will ever change my mind.

[SmileChelseaSmile]

@moonlitwolf1 cool story bro

[kaitiecutiequeen]

[MAndyandJuic3Boxz]

I don't care if I'm cryin'. I will keep replaying it until the tears stop flowin'... Hello to my never ending waterfalls. <3

[applesareforeating24]

Im not going to cr- * sniffle sniffle. Dammit Chris this song made me cry</3

[lsadie99]

ng this has to go through the same things i went though. the last line of this song describes what i needed. all i ever wanted was love.

[lsadie99]

ng to start cutting my self. suicide. drugs. i have thought about these things so many times. knowing that i wasnt alone saved my life. i thought i was the only one in the world with these thoughts. i kept all my problems to myself. that decision was making me go insane. every night i would cry because i was alone. no one would help me. these lyrics saved my life. i now enjoy every second of life. and i will until the day i die. i have friends. i know what chris went through. i hope no one readi

[bonesandtwilightlove]

@lsadie99 omg thats so idk amazing i hope you get to meet chris drew someday speaking he saved your life! hop you stay on the path your on now and live a log life!

[lsadie99]

i cry when i hear nevershoutnever. any song. before this miracle, i used to be a little goth kid telling everyone that they were gonna die a slow painful death. i was desperate for something to help enlighten my soul. i was alone. i was scared. i have gone most of my life without music. nevershoutnever was the first band i ever listened to. this was when i was twelve. Chris, Caleb, Taylor, Hayden, all of them have saved me. the past year has been the best one ever. i was so scared that i was goi

[TheCookie2113]

[Mufasa1397]

You see that dislike bar? Yeah, neither do i(:

[himemr]

this song means so much to me, you have no idea how much i cry while i listen to this song. my whole life people treat me like crap, and all i want to do is escape the life i hate. the only thing that gets me through is my friends, and they have all found a way out of the town that never cared about us

[YellowChic27]

This song made my eyes start to water and made me sniffle..

How sad how people treat a person like garbage and feel accomplished, but never look at the victims perspective!

How THEY will feel!

-cries-

And there goes the tears.

[lovethosedogz]

[AustinPalmer1]

[bigtimecatlover]

Does someone have a microscope I an borrow? I want to look at the dislike bar;}

[ana5o]

this song is so sad ): but i love it

[mrhappyface238]

@ana5o i was going to say that but i looked down and saw yours. I have to agree! I love it so much but it makes me think how a guy with such a wonderful voice could do this. Even tho that happened i still love his music it really picks me up when im down.

[theonlyhalliemorgan]

just remember boys and girls... arguing on youtube is a lot like the special olympics. even if one of you wins, you're all still retarded.

[RocknRollaSaur]

@theonlyhalliemorgan nice arguement but kinda offensive careful what you type lil one :)

[irawrcookies11]

i love how like all their songs only have like 30 dislikes :|D

[420Matt4201]

Im a guy but this made me cry..
