  • aah!! this is more like classic rock music...go hawk nelson!!

  • is it "tried" or "trying" ?

    i'm confused.. O . o

  • wow this song makes me feel like a dick, my cheecks r wet from tears =[

  • I need this song right now..

  • i dont want to sound stupid, but what is this amazing song about?

  • The spelling in the comments section is going to be the end of me.

  • Saw them last night so amazing

  • I tried to be everything you ever wanted but you were never satisfied. No matter how hard I try. You say I'm never good enough. I'm not changing for you. So bitch please move aside if you don't like me how I am. I am who I was made to be and isn't changing unless I feel the need a change in my life. Everyone is unique. Be who YOU are and not somebody who you're pretending to be. The so called "Popular" group and kiss my ass. They aren't going to have a good life. They were too busy talking abou

  • Everything but you never wanted.

  • I love this song so muchh! <3 i've had this song on replay the past 2 weeks. It sends out a great message and for me a 16 year old girl, it makes me understand more than i ever could before.

  • anyone else listening after hearing about jason leaving the band?

  • "I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest

    Tried to be everything that you ever wanted

    I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter."

    But I got tired of trying...

  • love this song

  • why does this song relate to everyones childhood :P oh well it was relivent to mine too GO HAWK NELSON

  • Three words a dork thinks of...Loki and Odin

  • 52 people never had the chance to listen to this as a kid.

  • Man, years since I've heard this song. I'm going to the concert!!

  • Memories.

  • im so going to the hawk nelson consert

  • @babytaz2006 I have been to one. It's great :)

  • I am this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • no it's not.. that song was Holding on and letting go by Ross Copperman

  • I like the music and in a way I like the theme of the lyrics, but the lyrics doesn't give the song the final touch. You tried to be everything perfect but you. YOU WHO? This song needs the progresion in the lyrics. I have written a few songs & I'm no expert but thats my opinion. I'm just a gospel musician that never tried to make a career of it. My wife & I just kept our gospel duet local. Over all I like the song

  • is this the song that was on the last nights episode of vampire diaries?

  • @rk212005 Yes, it is..

  • Not bad mistakes there and there and timing off by a few not bad tho keep it up check out y channel for some lyric videos...

  • i love this band i loved seeing them live best day of my life

  • I love this song reminds me no matter who leaves God is still there

  • Whenever I play this song I always remember a person. Actually the same person. :)

  • So many memories brought back

  • Love this song -3

  • dear mom and dadd,

    i love you so much but why were you never there for me?i always ask God why? why me why am i in foster care, why was i hated, abused, and neglected. i did try to be perfect, honest, and everything for you... i now know, because it was in gods will to make me a stronger person and God would never put me through anything that i couldnt handle.... but mom and dad even though yoou made my life hell i FORGIVE you and ill always love you forever and always<3<3<3.......

  • This video always gets me, every time I hear it. Daddy, you weren't there for me and you have no idea how much I miss you. But I've learned to know its not my fault you choose how our relationship would be. It could be so much more if you only cared. I tried..

    I'll always love you daddy, no matter what. ♥

  • just got lost in youtube!!! and found this great Song!!!

  • i finally found this song <3 love this song soo much :')

  • this is my song for my dad. i always try to be a good daughter but he always think im weak. im a fool and im an idiot.. i always try everything that he ever wanted. if he says he's proud of me i could already die. i never heard him say he's proud of me even if my grades are high he always pull me down... i love this song!

  • wooot thats my cousin jason dunn!!

  • I listened to this back in the day... like maybe second, third grade. still love it in high school. great song

  • depois de 3anos achei graças a uns carinhas de uma comu no orkut

  • amazing song!!!!!!!!!

  • amazing song

  • its sad that other music videos like Eminem, Rihanna, ect get like millions of views...but Hawk Nelson only gets like a couple thousand. And half those peple who dont listen to him arent Christian...soo thats why he doesnt get as much views ):

  • @LexieeLovesYouu The Reason they get all there views isn't because of there music (It's Terrible) it's the pornographic, sexual nature of the video's and unfortuneately that's becoming the norm of our society! It's awesome that we have these amazing christian bands who are getting the attention of the non-beleivers and accustoming them to cleaner stuff! And might even eventually get them to listen to worship!:D

  • Can't wait to see these guys tomorrow night at the Rock and Worship Road Show!!!!

  • If you could do relient k- I am understood .. That would be amazing! Great work on this one

  • wow you can soooo tell Raine Maida does most of the music. I can picture Raine singing these songs. There's parts where the singer does high pitch notes mid sentence like Raine did with Our Lady Peace. NOONE CAN TOP RAINE

  • omg this bringsback memories i listened to tis in 3rd grade and im now in 10th grade :3 i love this song

  • @natanaru This song reminds me of depressing days when the girl I was in love with started dating someone else. im in 10th grade too

  • @natanaru this song didn't come out til u was in 5th grade lol, but i know what u mean great song.

  • @therockking111 hmm really? i remember it in 3rd >.< lol oh well i guess im wrong XD my memory isnt good so ii guess ur right :)

  • @natanaru lol, i only knew that cuz i looked up when it came out xD cuz i was sitting there thinking, and i was like.... how many years ago was that?? so i decided to look it up xD

  • @therockking111 lol ok

  • @SILVERX11 Why do you write like a mentally retarded person?

  • @SILVERX11 the past not change shit, i agree. what happened has happened you cant help it but you can look to the future. but its nice to look back at all the amazing times :) growing up sucks but awesome at the same time. people should stop trying to change the impossible and just go with it :) i know this is NOT what your talking about but yeah, :L :L

  • @SILVERX11 if you don't remember the past then your doomed to repeat it

  • This song and I, we go back, way way back (;

  • i made a poem out of this song and its epic

  • @57msikora Hi. I feel the same way because no matter how hard or how hard I prayed m best friend died. I feel ignored and helpless right now. But well t through it. Dont give up on yourself

  • This song reminds me of my relationship with my older brother.

    he left me without a smple goodbye

    I was never ''Perfect'' for him

    I miss him and I only wish he was still here with me and that he could see how hard i work to become the girl he wants me to be

  • Comment removed

  • awesome video:)

  • i love the album smile it's the end of the world <3 best hn songs <3 i loved this song when i was little. this band was my favorite. then i got off the right path and started to listen to sooo many non christian songs and it made an impact on me. now i am listening to hn again and loving life with God by my side!

  • @rawrmynameisalexxxx That's great! Isn't God amazing? Ps. Epic username!

  • @writergonenarniamad Gos is awesomeee xD thankks xD

  • Im aware that this is a christan band and i love them but ...you guys ...thares no god how can thare be a god that lets people suffer and die, want to die thares so much shit in life its just no possabe iv dealt with friends death and so much shit my friend was raped and now has a kid and cant see them how can a god let people hurt like so manny people do whares god when people are being killed at war and people leaving thare faimlys and not caring why cant we all just feel good? ...thanks "God"

  • @57msikora I totally know what you are going through. We all go through extremely difficult times, some more than others. So how can a good God let bad things happen? Because He loves u. Crazy right? But it's true. I'm starting to understand that all of the things that happen in this life have a reason and a purpose. It can be hard to believe sometimes, but sometimes the greatest blessings come through tears. Sometimes, a thousand sleepless nights is what it takes to know He's there. He loves u!

  • @57msikora Hi there! I can relate. I've been through a lot, and I've seen a lot of terrible things happen in life. But u know, life would've been ALOT more terrible if I didn't get 2 know God. I wud'nt evn be here ryt now. God IS good. God's will is 4 all us 2 be happy. That's y He gave us the Bible, to guide us. So NO1 wud KILL, RAPE, LIE, STEAL etc. it's our selfishness dat lead us to hurt others. God wants 2 show us how to LIVE wd LOVE. It's when we don't listen dat evil things happen.
  • @57msikora Remember that this is a world full of sin and imperfect. God has always given us free will, so people are going to do terrible things. God does not cause these things to happen, but sometimes, he allows tragedies to come onto our lives for a reason. Sometimes, it's when we're at rock bottom that we realize just how much we need him. He wants us to turn to him everytime. The world isn't an easy place to live in, but there IS a God who cares for you.

  • @57msikora a part of gods great plan for us is that we have the freedom to choose and grow, because of this there is going to be wrong doing, there is a lot of bad in this world.. but there is also a lot of good, dont give up during your hard times.. its sad that you dont see him in your life, but its all about faith

  • @57msikora you are probably getting annoyed by all these christians trying to convert you or whatever. but i struggled with this. i never had anything very bad happen in my life, but i think, without bad there can be no good. God isnt there going "hm... Im bored, lets kill a country" but he doesn't control EVERY aspect of life. i guess you have to view it in a big scheme. if everything was good, then there would be no bad. yes more bad things happen to some people, but i think its a coincidence.

  • LOVE HAWK NELSON :D

  • thankful for my family friends and bf:)

  • Not looking for pity, just looking to be understood. My life is one big mess, everyone is telling me to be someone else, like my older sister or some one else. Telling me I can never do anything, that I'm always gonna screw up. I listen to this song over and over and I want everyone to know this song, I hate being depressed, I hate wanting to commit suicide because I wasn't good enough. I just want to live a happy life, and nothing seems to help

  • @DarkRebellion1993 hi. i know what you feel, i'd been to your situation not once but as many as i can remember. We cannot say life is easy, life is full of trials & testings but remember all those things comes from the Father above. What people are saying doesn't matter, what matter is what the Lord thinks of you. I know that Jesus believes in what you can do. Commit that problem of yours to the Lord, because his Yoke is easy and His burdens are light. BE YOURSELF & remember JESUS LOVES YOU!!

  • @DarkRebellion1993 I under stand tottaly my family is the way they all want is for me to be someone im not and can never be

  • @DarkRebellion1993 hey dont give up, i know how you feel, im the youngest of 5 and am always feeling like im the scew up in the family, just dont give up, god will always be there for you, he will always accept you as you are:)

  • lol, read the description, looked at what it was now, and laughed...

  • @HaleyChoi1 I don't pray, but that seriously sucks! She'll go far =)

  • Can someone please explain what this songs about :)

  • @marinieweenie22 It's about someone who had a bad relationship with his father and/or someone who's father left when they were young

  • @HaleyChoi1 I have the same thing going on in my life. My stepmom disapproves of everything I do. I've had 3 poems published, she said it was all for money. I've won several art contest, she said I didn't have any real competition. My bf broke up with me, she said maybe it was my face. She hates the way I dress. Tries to make me a barbie. But she wont break me.

  • @TheEnvousGreen that is terrible

  • @randomdude1000000000 It is, but I wont let it affect who I am.

  • @TheEnvousGreen Just hang in there. Everything gets better eventually. Know that I'm praying for you. :)

  • @DaMan869 Oh I know:D I wont let something like this define who I am! Thank you for praying, I really appreciate it!

  • @HaleyChoi1 Noone deserves this treatment. I believe everyone deserves support. She will go far in life.

  • Hmm. kinda reminds me of my best friend. her name is Alyssa. She's abused verbally by her parents. And, they're poor, so they have to get a discount on school lunches since they can't afford to pack. But, once a year on their birthdays, they pack a lunch just to show that they at least care. But this year she didn't get a lunch, or anything on her birthday. It's sad cause that's all they look forward to on their birthdays. She isn't allowed to leave the house, not even to go to church.

  • @sarahsmudge1316 oh my gosh, that is so sad

  • this kind of sound like wt a good guy shud say and DO for his girl friend!

  • Kettle Cadaver...look em up they are so godly

  • @HaleyChoi1 Sounds like A Cinderella Story. I'll pray for her :)

  • hah my name is Sasha <3 I like the uploders username :D

  • I know this seems out of place but the official name is Everything I Ever Wanted. Check the cd though. I could be wrong. Like the song though. … ^_^

  • I SAW THEM THURSDAY :))) AT CAROWINDS amazing performance

  • @WillieNillie1000 dont believe a word they say you are not worthless, just wait, someone special will come along and will think your perfect :)

  • pretty sure everyone that searched this song can relate thats why you searched it

  • @450kid50 Amen!! I deffinatly had a reason!!!

  • @HaleyChoi1 no

  • @addyad Dude, that's pretty mean. Why would you not pray for someone in that situation?

  • i can totaly relate to this song 

  • My Dad thinks i'm stupid he regrets me, like my sister and dad always are making fun of me, and think that i'm worthless.

  • @WillieNillie1000 dont feel worthless your awesome in your own awesome way

  • my dad disapproves of everything i do i try so hard :(

  • This is the greatest song I ever heard =))

    this was my favorite song of hawk nelson =D

    just keep rocking and playing senti / love song \m/

    I'm one of your follower =))

  • From before I can remember til i turned 18 yrs old I was molested by my moms cousin that lived with us cause he had no where else to go. hes 40 something. I knew I was fat my mom told me all the time and I was far from popular. I figured I wasnt supposed to be loved if the only guy that had any interest was an old ugly pervert. I turned to the only place i thought i could be loved. the internet... did a lot of bad things i shouldnt have. No ones perfect but you can be forgiven

  • I have this friend in my life, he's not christian, but ive prayed for him and tried to get him to listen to me. We used to stay up all night long, he called me crying once. He was suicidal at one point, it killed me to have to try and help him through. Every day at school i would almost start crying because he was still there. We don't speak anymore and I've dedicated this song to him- still hoping he will turn to God one day and stop using drugs and drinking. I care about him and wish he knew

  • I know the feeling of trying to be Stronger and a perfect daughter, and it's impossible... I just sometimes just need my dad to listen to me... :/

  • Used to say a prayer, wishing you were there, and I'm still waiting... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG!!! <3

  • Awesome christian rock band

  • "I used to say a prayer wishing you were there and I'm still waiting. You told me once, you'd show up. But I fell for that before. I fell to pieces" Best Lyrics in the song♥

  • hey i feel sorry for her my brother is the same way i hope she gets to be every thing she wants an to do every thing she wants i will be praying for her

  • this reminds me of my best loving girlfriend

  • i love this song always has. Now i cry when i listin to it, because i just got back from churchcamp and our counclers Whitney and taylor recommended him as a good artest and i miss them SOOO much!

  • So he is Christian?!

  • @INDIANA0PACERS Yes, he's a Christian as far as what he says.

  • @INDIANA0PACERS Yea, he's a Christian.

  • This song, unfortunately, reminds me of my father. He disowned me a few months ago and before that he cheated on my mom, lied about it and is /still/ lying about it when my siblings ask him about what he posts on facebook. He's now divorcing my mom and won't spend time with his kids and pretends to love me and treat me like any of the other kids when he's around people, but when he's alone, he hurts me so bad. Please pray for my family....thanks.

  • @applesandbuhnonos Everything is gonna be alright. Just give it all to God. Your heavenly father cares for you and your fam. 1 Peter 5:7. I was disowned too, by so many and yet I realized a couple of days ago that I can't wait to be with my Heavenly Father because He gets me as I am. All He wants is my heart. He just wants yours too. <3 God Bless

  • @ihsgdf Thanks. I'm trying to let it go and just let God, but it's not so easy for me. I don't really know how to deal with all this and it hurts, you know?

  • @applesandbuhnonos try to join a praise and worship community. That helped me a lot and I got to meet many wonderful people

    try to have a prayer time it doesn't have to be long just offer a moment to God, remember Jesus may be your redeemer and savior But He is also your friend. talk to him as you would talk with your close friend minus any bad words. Also read the bible for it is God's word. sometimes he'll tell you something through the bible

    *suggestions only*

  • @merrickvc I have a church that I go to...a couple actually...and I have some really good Christian people that I talk to. I understand about God and I believe and stuff and I am a Christian, but what I don't understand how to do is talk to him like he's someone I can see and hear and touch and respond to via email/text/facebook/comments, etc. If that makes sense...

  • @applesandbuhnonos to be honest i haven't gotten that far in my spiritual growth yet it takes time. If you continue to grow spiritually i believe you'll achieve what you're searching for.And try to convince people to grow with you i know it's hard to convince people but as long as you do it for the Glory of the Lord no effort is lost because you Glorified him even if the group didn't believe you. Try to be as biblical because if you use your own perspective evil might play its tricks. God Bless

  • @applesandbuhnonos well i get U! It's difficult to talk to Him when we think of it that way! but In my case I try an keep talkin to him! I imagine He ios there because He really is!

  • @applesandbuhnonos I'll Pray for your family. Always remember that everything happens for a reason and everything planned by God will end up Great. Why ? Because God Loves You. Its the kind of love that nothing can take away not even the devil can take God's love. Everything will turn out well just have faith and never doubt God Bless you and your Family

  • Anyone who is feeling pain, I would try listening to Tenth Avenue North, they sing a lot about that. And try Rapture Ruckus's song ''Hold On''. If you need any more bands, message me, I will give you some bands. :-)

  • I hope the band watches these videos and reads the comments

  • This reminds me of my mom and I. My Mom cheated on my dad.. and she would always blame him...when he found out..she tried to do sucicide.. so her and my dad were done.. i was forced to live with her.. and i have noo idea where my dad is right now. My mom doesn't like anything that I do.. She even hates it when i go outside.. She even told me that she doesnt like me soo much that i should just leave.

  • It hurts getting let down by someone special that you trusted. I'm so thankful knowing that my Heavenly Father is always faithful to me even when I'm not.

  • This reminds me of me and my mother because even though my parents are together still, we have fought so much in my life. Ive always tried to be nicer and patient, but it never seems to work and she gets mad at me. somehow ive convinced myself whenever she is mad it is my fault and now im afraid to ask people things because i think they will yell at me and i feel really guilty for every little thing I do wrong. One night my dad even left the house then came back and stayed in the living room.

  • @McKManiac What would Jesus do? Always aks yourself that question!

  • @McKManiac In the Bible, it says something like this, "Kind words turn away wrath". Sometimes it's not always true, but it's worth a shot. Always remember, people you don't know, love you, people that do, probably have a tough time showing it. God is always with you, and if it helps, me too. And it's never your fault that she's mad at you. We all are here for you. Trust God. Ask Him anything, He WILL help you. It may take time though, it may take 2 seconds, who knows.

  • @HaleyChoi1 poor girl :( this world is already fucked up

  • The first time I heard this song I just started crying, because this song is basically my life and the song still just makes my heart swell so much. It's one of my all-time favorite songs.

  • My theme song

  • praying for you cookieman358. Praying that theyes void in your life will be filled. Sorry that your dad took you forgranted. Just know that your heavenly father loved you so much that he lady down his life on a cross for you. God bless you brother.

  • Ah... this song... perfectionists anthem. <3

  • and it reminds me of someone too..

  • Used to listen to this song when i was "younger" :)

  • god is with you

  • i tried to be perfect,tried to be honest,tried to be everything that you ever wanted..

  • There good live

  • Random beach scenery FTW.

  • this is the song for my life... i tried everything to make my father proud but he still acted as if he didnt even have a son... i use to get so upset aboout it... he died when i was 13 and never had the chance to havve a relationship with him i am now 22 yrs old and it sometimes gets to me sometimes.

  • i understand. forgive him if you haven't already. forgiveness healed many feelings in my life

  • Connects to so many people, well done HN. Well done...:]

  • awesome song <33

  • i'm really addicted to this song for months... I'm an atheist and I don't even care if it says the name of Jesus or not. In my point of view, all the lyrics are about an ex-girlfriend that left him, which makes this song very depressing but conforting.

  • prayers for you and your family

  • I'm so thankful that I don't have to face this problem with my Dad. My dad is awesome even though he was basically a single parent for most of my childhood becuase my mom was stuck in the hosiptal and couldnt provide for me. =/ it's no ones fault but i wish my mother was able to be with me. Have fun in Heaven Mom!

  • @theamazingtoot touched my heart R.I.P theamazingtoot's mom :'(

  • @spj18 i thank God for my family and our faith in Jesus. I dont know where i would be right now without Jesus in my life. I'd probably end up suicide by now because of the death of my mother. I was in 4th grade when she passed and mothers day came around and it killed me. But Jesus gave me a vision of my mother worshipping Him in Heaven and exactly 2 nd half days later she passed away. I then accepted Jesus into my heart because he cared so much to tell me everything is going to be ok =)

  • @theamazingtoot somedy you will meet her again.

  • gaaahh so damn depressing but i love it xD i fucking looove hawk nelson!!!

  • @HaleyChoi1 trust me, I know the feeling. every instrument i ever tried, i got the same treatment from my mom. now i play trombone, which is something i do with my dad, and since my parents are divorced, my mom doesnt like it that i have something that i do JUST with dad. i know what it feels like, and trust me: we're praying.

  • Best song!!! - 3

  • I <3 this song :D

  • @HaleyChoi1  yes i will for sure :)

  • This band sounds a lot like Blanky, who agrees?
