This song reminds me why i was a Mariah Carey fan since the age of 10. I remember when I first got the Butterfly album. I was 12. I never had a normal family life and till this day, i carry the weight of my family's emotional stress. Hearing this song 15 years later still makes me cry. It's probably the only song that really touches a deep part of me and describes emotions that I can't articulate.
I was hanging from one hand, about to fall, but she pulled me back up again. She, being my carbon copy, my literal other half and the only person who can and maybe ever will truly understand me. If she hand't been there, I would have finally let go, and forever would be trying to find my way up again to no avail. But now we're stronger. She is the most amazing person - incredible, wise, beautiful, fearless. The one person I know will alway be there. And she's saved me.
I was about to fall over the edge, but she saved me. She, being my carbon copy. We both were forced to grow up too fast, for the same reason. But, now, we've made each other stronger. Without her, I don't know where I would be. Probably going crazy. But, she's an amazing person, inside and out. And she's saved me. THANK YOU.
it's FLAILING inside not falling.. she uses that same word in the song Petals but people think she says FAILING but for both songs it's FLAILING!.... but great video, anyway! LOVE this song; it speaks to me and is so personal! Just sitting here reminiscing!
@gsgrl2000 ok correction, I thought she used FLAILING in this song too like she does in Petals but now I do believe it's FAILING inside plus it makes more sense for this particular song... any how I know the lyric is not FALLING inside; just listen to it over & over and then you will here that it's FAILING or FLAILING.... FYI
This song is so beautiful it stirs up many emotions, sometimes you need to remember the past to move on to the future..Mariah makes some beautiful music
I think I had forgotten for a second the real reason why Mariah Carey was my favorite singer...Until today. This song...the lyrics...It speaks to me and my life like NO other song ive ever heard before by anyone. Im gonna work harder than ever now to be the best that i can so that one day i will get a chance to meet her and tell her much of an inspiration shes been to me and my life ♥

WOW!!!! The images for this video fits so PERFECTLY with the song. What a creative job you have done to make this of superior work. Also, I have to agree, this is one of many beautiful songs Mariah has ever wrote and sang. Her gift as a songwriter is AMAZING along with her vocals.
Mariah does not have to belt for the song to be inspirational or whatever... The lyrics speaks for itself. This is one of those songs that Mariah sings in the same register throughout. amazing.
whenever i listen to this song i feel like young again...innocently seeking for things that puzzled me...now i realized that there are something that should be left behind to preserve the innocence that once admired by others...
MC proves that singing and music is not purely based on belting notes from time to time...this is one of her best songs ever...i admire her musicianship and her voice that swing you into the mood of old days...
Hey, I love this song, I'll be covering it soon! Check out some of my covers when you have some time. People say I sound similar to Mariah, Leona, Kelly Clarkson, and a few others. I guess it depends which songs I'm singing. I really love Mariah's songs though, so I'll be recording more of them soon. If you have any requests, let me know, I have most of them on karaoke/instrumental now! :) Does anyone have an instrumental of this song?
I remember when this album came out in September 1997. I had just turned 12 and this album was my birthday present from my mom. When I first hear this song, I balled my eyes out because my home life was so unstable at the time. I couldn't get enough of this song. I hadn't heard it since I was 14...10 years!!! and when i heard it today it just made me see how much I have grown from that day when I first heard it. Thank you for making such a beautiful video!!!
@roshannae that quite true! i feels the same ways as u do when i listen 2 mariah carey songs !! i havent listened 2 her since 8th grade!! her songs r powerful and emotional so it great 2 let it all out and show yr emotions
this video could have not been created to be any more perfect for the song than what you created it to be! omg, it was amazing and sooo very touching! I felt sooo connected to it* as I do to the song by itself... Thanks for sharing*** :)
I'm so glad I found THIS video of this song. I love the picture's you added. I would like to dedicate this to Cathy O Brien and Britney Spears. The little blondes in this video are perfect for my dedication. Thank you so much for this uplaod. I wish Mariah would've made a video simuliar to this, its perfect.
awesome :) loved this song for years now....

I hope she performs this, because this song (along with Music Box) are my 2 favs.
She says that out of all the songs she's ever written, this one is her favorite.
It really is the best thing she's ever written.
