This song made me shower, get dressed, clean my room, and take a long, silent walk through my neighbourhood. Yesterday I didn't even want to move. Bleachers 1 - My Depression 0. Thank you Bleachers for this song. So much.
Way to go! Keep it up!
Thank you for your encouragement. I just hope the improvement sticks. :)
Matthew Bridges Today I played the violin again. That should tell you how I'm doing! :) Thanks for your encouragement.
giligara30492, you should upload a video of you playing the violin!
Alan Pacholski Maybe some day!
hey guys, just a reminder: progress isn't linear. if you had a bad day, you're still better off then you were before. don't give up.
I hope it isn't inappropriate to say that I love you for this comment. Thank you.
I also love you for this commemt
"Progress isn't linear" is something abusers say to make people believe they're getting better. What does that say about you?
@@junipersolis but that doesn't mean it has to be said by an abuser this is just someone trying to motivate people to do better and feel better when they're struggling it's a good thing to say amd abusers also say shit like "your pretty" "your made for me" and more but that doesnt make those statements evil or cursed
@@junipersolis this is something I say to myself all the time, I guess I'm abusing myself.
"I didn't know I was broken till I wanted to change" the real truth right there
It hits so hard.
Dead ass
It’s a double entendre. He didn’t know he was broke in terms of money until he wanted some change. He also didn’t know he was broke mentally until he wanted to improve himself.
True that🤘
I wanna be friends with everyone who loves this song
+Hippie Not hipster Hey Buddy! (because we're friends now...😏)

Depression is reality, depressive thoughts are not

As a person who is recovering from depression, this song is a real boost.
Ditto, my dude. Let's hope we can all Get Better soon
We are getting better
Right? Its crazy
True This song Gets me so hyped when i listen to it
🤘🤍🤘🤍🤘
The first time i heard this, i cried. I should've known this song when i was depressed.
same.
I'm still there, I've heard this song many times, just trying to get better.
Dude.
***** can u not
Yeah... This song starts meaning a whole lot more to you once you actually understand the meaning behind it. I love this song.
i really, truly wanna get better.
+Your mums a door You will, fellow Phandom member

Melellie Mel PHANDOM!! and I want to get better also
An 18 year old who didn't know what loss was hits home so fucking hard, I love this song
Recently realized that all my anger and rage doesn't help anyone. Revenge doesn't help the hurt. I felt the fire die and I feel so old and wise. I wanna be young and foolish again.
This song makes me not want to hurt myself!
+barefoot and independent No!! Everyone pay attention to me!
Jess Brassington thanks!
Nigel Swan shut up bitch, this song helped me! cheers!
+barefoot and independent yay! :)
+Indigo Zap I don't know how, but, I know you're gonna be okay. hang in there!
"I didnt know I was lonely till I saw your face." *says me, to me in the mirror*
Gotta learn to love yourself
@@dannygrove9078 i guess so...
😭❤️
day 4 off heroin. this made things better
test123apt I hope you’re doing better now! :) 💕
Wxsted Stxrs thank you. It's still a rough and rocky road... But I'm determined to give it all I've got.
I don't know you, but I'm proud of you. You are getting better.💛
Hopefully 9 months now.
I wish you the best. Almost nobody I ever knew got off heroine successfully. Be strong, my friend. Withdrawal is not fun and I know it can be painful and frustrating, and heroine is a thousand times worse, but if you fight you can make it!🤞🏻🤞🏻
This lyrics seems to be depressed but the melody is so great and cool and it is like wanting to dance while you're sad anyone agree? lol
Basically what twenty one pilots is
+Someone Special i like top but,, no? also its a bleachers song so why are you talking about diametrally differend band
glithch except im not saying anything related to the bleachers? Im just saying that most top songs have a happy beat and sad lyrics so idk where your coming from?
+Someone Special no? you are on a bleachers video ppl are talking about bleachers song and you are trying to push 21p here?
+Someone Special you said NOTHING about other bands. what game are you trying to be playing?
please take care of yourself guys, we all can do it.
no therapy we listen to this song fifty times like men
Jamie Brown okay legit? i came to this video because of a tumblr post that said almost the exact same thing the post's 11 months old so it's possible that you saw the same one 👀
What sort of toxic masculinity bs is that?
Day man it's a joke
Jamie Brown yeeeahhh buddyyy
use testosterone to dominate your own mental illnesses
The old comments are so wow. Glad you all are taking the journey to better yourselves
This song is gonna be my fuel while I go through this transition.
How's it going
I'm curious too, we're rooting for you!
I hope it's going well!
I hope you’re doing well my friend
Hope you're doing well!
I fucking wanna get better.
Love you
“I didn’t know I was lonely till I saw your face” and “I didn’t know I was broken till I wanted to change” really get to me
This song is instant serotonin guaranteed
I feel like I've known this song for years, like I've heard it hundreds of times. I can't explain it; it's like song déjà vu.
same with me! when i heard this on the radio i was like, "i swear to god i heard this when i was a kid" déjà vu twins! haha
Lyndsey Middleton I guess it's just that kind of song haha
Same lol but i think ive heard it before i just dont know when and where
you were just remembering in the wrong direction
Honestly I feel like when he sings “I didn’t know i was lonely till i saw your face” is definitely something I’ve heard somewhere else. It has to be, because it’s fucking with my brain how familiar it is.
Sometimes when you feel like shit you need a song like this to pump you up instead of sad songs by other people when they were also feeling like shit because that just becomes a vicious cycle of people feeling like shit
Same, sometimes you just need happy comments instead of sad comments. I hope you are doing well!
We are all slowly getting better we needa support each other 😌☝️
Any other songs like this?
It makes me sad that all the comments are from four years ago
Don't worry I'm still listening to it.
Dan Mihm Same and same.
now this ones a year old
alex time low hell yeah 2020 gang
We out here 🤙🏿🤙🏿
THIS SONG IS SO CUTE AND INSPIRATIONAL AND REALLY REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
Kaylie Mancino it's actually really sad 😐
but it inspires you to be a little less sad.
Yeah I'm pretty sure its about Jacks sister dying.
My siblings and I grew up in a abusive neglected household. Nothing better than being 17 drunk with your 13 year old brother screaming this song smoking a bowl parked in the driveway ✌
just so you know, Jesus loves you :)
@@sebrenadookhoo8789 thanks that means alot ❤️
@@itsallperspective7415 ❤
Enjoy your youth. They’re short and the best years of your life.
It's been months and THE LYRICS STILL AMAZE ME.
I listen to this song right before I go into therapy. Thank you bleachers. This is my freaking jam.
not sure if anyone will actually read this, but two days ago my cat passed away. i had him for over 5 yrs, growing into my teenage years. he was my best friend, and a brother to my other kitty, who is probably going through the same pain as me. im really scared for my mental health right now. i feel so sad and useless. im hoping to come back to my comment in a few months to understand how much ive gotten better. i want to get better, but i promise myself that i will get better.
My cat died about a year and a half ago (September 7th, 2019). She'd been with me my entire life, my parents got her as a wedding present to each other (my dad knew my mum wanted another cat, my mum used the excuse of them having their own cat each in order to get her). I dont really know what happened with her, we couldn't find her one night and then the next morning we found her and she couldn't move her back legs. She was fifteen, deaf, probably partially blind, and had been rather chunky up until a year before. We knew it was nearing the end when she got skinny with no diet change. I feel a lot of guilt because for the last two years of her life she smelled really bad and always snuffled and snorted really loudly. I avoided her when I should have made sure she knew I loved her. She was always there when I needed her, despite my stupidity. We had to have her put down the same day her legs went. The vet couldnt even finish injecting the whole syringe before she stopped breathing. From the moment we found her that morning I'd been wondering what itd be like to breathe in a world without her. Shed been there my whole life, followed me around and acted as more of an emotional support than my mum did most of the time. She was basically my second mother, and I'll always think of her as such. It's probably stupid, she was a small boned tabby cat I tried to curl up smaller than so she would think I was her kitten, but that's just what it was. I did hold my breath for a while, after she breathed out the last time. I wondered if I would even know how to breathe without her. I breathed back in eventually, obviously, and it hurt a lot. Accepting a world without her hurt a lot. She had been there for every milestone before that, what would it be like to not celebrate with her? It still hurts thinking about her sometimes. If one of my other cats snuffles too loud while coming up the stairs, I automatically think "Ah, here Brindle comes, looking to steal some food." The grief doesnt go away, and it doesnt heal in the way most people say it does. It's more like you grow around it. What once was huge and all encompassing becomes manageable, then small. Like when I was young, and picking up my cat was a full body effort. Then, as I grew bigger, it got easier. She never changed size, my body just grew to better accommodate her. There's never a right time to lose a pet. It'll never be easy to do. But we grow around it, it becomes part of us. Eventually, cliche though it may seem, we look back and remember how lucky we were to have them at all. I hope this helps a bit :) RIP Brindle She saw 12 kittens come into our household over the years, saw eight remain in said household, and of those outlived three, all with the patience of a saint. Her predecessor Billy the Great, if cats could cackle, would be cackling with her in cat heaven for all eternity.
@@CoRLex-jh5vx i really really appreciate your reply. reading your story made me feel at home again and reminded me of how good my kitty was to me. i am so sorry you lost one of your best friends. i can understand it’s the hardest thing to cope with (more difficult than human deaths imo). the breathing thing hit me hard, as at times i used to always think that lilo was dead but just breathing slow. hurt like a ton of bricks when he stopped breathing after we put him down. anyways, thank you for spending the time to write that out, seriously. it’s definitely been a few months since my kittys passing, and i am very happy to report that i am better. eventually, i (as you said) learned to grow around his death and keep a positive eye open. i still miss him a lot and once in awhile i’ll shed a few tears but... they aren’t full of sadness anymore. i’m so joyful that he was able to be in my life and comfort me. pets truly are our guardian angels in disguise. i have two new kittys now, they’re amazing. at first, it was hard having new cats in the house. may sound stupid but i didn’t say i love you to them for the first few months. i guess i felt guilty? whatever it may be, i now love them with all my heart. but, lilo will forever be remembered and missed. no other kitty compares to him. i’m glad you’re doing okay. im wishing love and happiness for you always. thank you, again.
This song is so underrated
That piano loop. Genius.
That is my favorite part of the music too. It's just so dang catchy.
jack antonoff
I think well all need to get better...Anyone agree?
Kinda but No cuz im perfect
Haha. I agree. We certainly all need to get better. Except not that guy... ( cookie chip ) Cuz he's perfect. ☺
i be perfect
cookie chip A perfect person would have a better grammar.
I said im perfect not flawless ;)
Listening to this song on repeat while going through terrible depression. It helps a bit.
Stephanie Levine How are you doing now?
I think it totally does, it has positive and honest vibes. I hope you're doing okay, my dude, and that we can both get through things.
This song get me in workout mode/ my ex doesn't matter mode/ I can overcome depression mode it's so good! Thankyou bleachers
Jordan C Hell ya!
the best running song, I cannot not sprint every time that chorus kicks in
imagine being the artist reading these comments about how this song has helped all these people 🥺
It’s fantastic
made me smile for the first time in days
Me too, I hope life's been treating you well.
“I didn’t know I was broken till I wanted to change” yes literally you don’t know how depressed you actually are/were until you start treatment
THE FUCKING BEST SONG Ever
ilesonce sb PROFAMITY
TheTitanOfChaos Right. i'm sorry
i play this on full blast with no shame
Yep. This song was meant to be played on full blast while you're screaming singing along to it... I WANNA GET BETTER! BETTER! BETTER! BETTER!!!
Good for you?
Is that from MEMEME. Your pic I mean.
this song is enough misery and joyful for me i adore it. it makes me want to smile, sing and dance with eternally sad people.
I will dance with you! I've been jamming to this on repeat for a while now! I love this song ♡
😭💗
I have to get ready for school in less than 3 hours and I'm quietly jamming out to this song. And there's no other way I'd want to spend another sleepless night :')
What a MeMe
Pepe = meme = mepe? Peme? Meep? Sleepless nights = memes??
You got that right, buddy :))))
You Are Fucking Awesome
I am in the exact position.. Today.
ex drug addict- for 3 years ! and i can only thank this song.
What is this? Why is this in my recommended? Why is it the best song I've ever heard?
I used to play this song a lot when I was going through a deep and bad depression, and sing it to myself with determination that I wanna get better. Now I play it and I know I'm better, life has gotten better and I love this song even more.
Hey, I'm truly glad to hear. How are you now, do you want to tell me?
“I didn’t know I was broken until I wanted to change.” God, this song has made me realized I want to become a better person. I love it so much. Bleachers in general has really helped me to get through these summer blues I have. I’m so grateful to know this band! ❤️❤️❤️
Dude I dont know what this song does to you but It does something, I got dressed, cleaned my room, lit some candles, chilled out. This song is great
Wintersebb what a nice way to vibe
At a rough point right now. Shit is really rough and I don't know if I'll make it through tomorrow without doing something I'll regret, but I can't deny that this song has picked me up in the past and that I believe it'll pick me up long into the future.
I hope things have improved for you, sincerely.
“Didn’t know I was broken ‘till I wanted to change” I’m in love with this line. So relatable my guy... or gal
I have never related so much to a song in my life before. Ever. It's hopeful though, which is nice. Anxiety is so hard to fucking deal with and no song has ever described what it's like as well as this song.
TheForestFamily nice to see someone I can relate to
I like the part “mourn the years before I got carried away”…alcohol is my thing.
this content is relatable
Listening to this to give me courage for my first therapy visit today.
This song makes me extremely pumped and ecstatic
I haven't heard this song in years. I immediately started crying. This was my recovery song. Today I'm on new meds, I have new doctors, I have hope, and I swear to god I HAVE gotten better
Good luck pal and happy New Year 🎊🎆🎈
This is part of the soundtrack of my life right now. I recently had a complete mental breakdown and I've never related to a lyric more than "I didn't know I was broken til I wanted to change". One week of therapy and regular exercise now and it'll only get better! :D
Thank you mike birbiglia
the vibe reminds me of fun. idk i just miss the old times
I have this on a spotify playlist called The Scream-Cry Sing-Along Car Ride that's genuinely dangerous to listen to while driving because I can't see the road through the tears.
May you please tell us what your favorite songs on the playlist are? I think we all need some scream-cry-sing-along car ride songs right now. I know it's almost a year later, but y'know.
@@Lobstir Let's see, off the top of my head there's this song, Your Heart is a Muscle The Size of Your Fist by Ramshackle Glory, No Children by The Mountain Goats, Twin Size Mattress by The Front Bottoms, A Better Son/Daughter by Rilo Kiley, and uh Let It Go from Frozen. I remember most of it because I've needed to go back to it myself pretty recently too. Those last two tracks are important for coming out the other side 💜
@@varglbargl Thanks! I'll be sure to give these a listen.
"I didn't know I was broken until I wanted to change". I felt that..
I have chronic depression that comes and goes. I use this song as a reminder, that things will be ok again, as long as I keep going, I'll get better soon. Then when I'm through, I dance like crazy to the song with a crazy burst of adrenaline and happiness. Like, yesterday, it was raining, and I love rain, and I woke up so happy, so normal, after a week of depression, and I just ran outside and danced to the rain, and jumped in the puddles. I didn't care that people were seeing me in their cars, I didn't care that I was probably too old for this, all I cared about was that I just felt so much better.
You go Jenny!
Shout out to all my people who going through the inner struggle and are unhappy with yourself Stay strong be great be yourself we gonna breakthrough
Hey me. We're still alive if we're reading this huh? I'm so incredibly proud of you!!
So stupidly proud.
Stupidly STUPIDLY proud.
Proud beyond any conceivable notion of the word.
I'm sorry for all of you that have struggled with depression or heroin use. I've not, but it doesnt mean iam better than you lot. Iam just proud of you guys have listen to the power of this song that enabled you guys to pick yourselves up to the greater possibilities of what your lives can offer than drugs or feeling low. Big hug to all of you!!
BIG hug
🫂
Wherever you are. Don't give up.
Bleachers has a bright future in the Music Industry that's all i have to say. :) Great song.
Calob Yeah, they got on the radio finally. Which is great.
this song will always be for 15 year old me, staying up all night and watching the sunrise over the mountains in my old neighborhood. i’m 23 now (has it really been that long?) and i’m still not okay, but sometimes, i think i am better.
me back on here because i got worse
same
Hope it’s gotten better since then
happy birthday babygirl IWGB! thanks for keeping me alive for 9 years!
this is such a good summer song :)
This song will help me get thru my depression
How is it that a song that came out 3 years ago can make me feel nostalgic?
PizzaGamecube right? it's crazy
Another day another step closer to better
Every day in every way I'm getting wetter.
My story isn't going to be as inspiring as everyone elses, but my pet rat died today. I used to have 3 rats, and I've lost 2 this year. Things are really hard, and I blamed myself for not doing something right. I thought about this song, and suddenly felt the need to listen to it. It just makes everything feel a little less crazy in the world. Thank you.
I'm here for you babes 💖 I've raised rats since I was 5 I haven't been without one since. Losing them is hard it's like losing a best friend. I'm so sorry for your loss but it will get better with time and their soul will be with you always. Thank you for showing them love! All creatures deserve love no matter how small.
Losing a pet rat is like losing any other pet. They're sweet and affectionate and i hope you're feeling better.
lyrics cause all the lyric videos on youtube have shit going on in the back ground of the videos....... "I Wanna Get Better" Hey, I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room Calling my name and I follow just to find you I trace the faith to a broken down television and put on the weather And I've trained myself to give up on the past 'cause I frozen time between hearses and caskets Lost control when I panicked at the acid test I wanna get better While my friends were getting high and chasing girls down parkway lines I was losing my mind 'cause the love, the love, the love, the love, the love That I gave wasted on a nice face In a blaze of fear I put a helmet on a helmet Counting seconds through the night and got carried away So now I'm standing on the overpass screaming at the cars, "Hey, I wanna get better!" I didn’t know I was lonely 'til I saw your face I wanna get better, better, better, better, I wanna get better I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change I wanna get better, better, better, better, I wanna get better I go up to my room and there's girls on the ceiling Cut out their pictures and I chase that feeling Of an eighteen year old who didn't know what loss was Now I'm a stranger And I miss the days of a life still permanent Mourn the years before I got carried away So now I'm staring at the interstate screaming at myself, "Hey, I wanna get better!" I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face I wanna get better, better, better, better, I wanna get better I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change I wanna get better, better, better, better, I wanna get better 'Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi I'm screaming from my bedroom window Even if its gonna kill me Woke up this morning early before my family From this dream where she was trying to show me How a life can move from the darkness She said to get better So I put a bullet where I shoulda put a helmet And I crash my car cause I wanna get carried away That's why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself, "Hey, I wanna get better!" I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face I wanna get better, better, better, better, I wanna get better I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change I wanna get better, better, better, better, I wanna get better
I really really wanna get better
I have schizophrenia. I listen to this like every day. I WANNA GET BETTER!! 💚💪
this song is one of the many great things that made 2014 amazing.
TLDR Quarentine + depression I didn’t know I had = I wanna get better. I’m 18 and COVID hit me hard. At first I was peeking, straight A’s and B’s in all my college classes (I’m in highschool) and I was managing my time very well. But never going outside besides a quick walk for the dogs, not talking to people, in general just the solitude of covid finally took its toll. I kept saying yeah these are feelings everyone deals with. But when my family noticed that I was starting to act like a completely different person without me even knowing, I decided, I had to get better. Ok, all cheesy jokes aside, I’m showering each morning, my bed is only for sleeping, attempting to go outside more often and even hanging out with friends that I didn’t even think wanted to hang out. It’s great I’m trying to figure this out before I got off to college. Anyway, no one is alone trying to figure things out. Things will... well.. get better, but you have to want to and you have to make that first step. :) I hope this didn’t sound cheesy 😂
i can not thank you enough for this song it has changed my life
Whenever I’m really thinking about it.,. I jam this song, read the comments, and remind myself it’s ok to wanna get better, and I’m not alone. Thank you all. Thank you bleachers. For at least tossing me a match to light in this darkness..
Thanks for phrasing that. It's okay to want to get better, I don't know what you thought writing that but I think I needed to hear.
After years of listening to this song and wanting to come out,I finally did,and less than 2 minutes ago I hung up a pride flag while listening to this song in my room,it was and insane feeling because this song is so different sounding now and I'm glad to say It really does get better.
hope it's goin' well for you
reminds me of senior year because I would listen to this every time
gosh, i remember listening to this song off of an old Dan and Phil edit... times were simple then and i didn't realise it... damn
Dang 😳
@@haileycrank2312 i knowww
that's exactly how i found out about this song too! i'm pretty sure i was in middle school when i watched that edit. crazy

Whatever you are busy with and going through. Just keep moving. If you cant run, then walk. If you can't walk then crawl. Just keep moving.
If you’re listening for pleasure or for good thoughts. I love you and you’ll get through it.
Coming from someone who's suffered from depression, everything from the dissociatively happy melody acting as a mask over the lyrics to the delivery of said lyrics is a perfect representation of that to the point where it's hard to say the one who created the song didn't suffer from it themselves. It shows such an intimate, even poetic knowledge o of the disease it honestly makes me break into tears. And that's a good thing.
i haven't heard this song in like, a year and a half and i randomly thought of it today and i'm so glad i did
Itis one of those songs
Uploaded on my birthday on possibly the most life changing year of my life. This is a gift I didn't know I got. 2014 itself was a gift to me
Thanks brother. Spirits high forever.
I remember when my friend took me home after a heavy night of drinking and drugs I was convinced I was killing myself that day.I had it planned.this song came on.more then 10 years later I'm alive sober I'm married have a amazing life
Honestly it's like going in circles. Crash, breaking point, go numb, almost die, start to feel better, repeat. But it won't always be this way. I'm gonna break the cycle this time.
Take any prescribed medication, drink some water, get some rest, take a shower, a walk, do yoga, meditate, do whatever you need to do to relax yourself. We all stress so much it's a part of us. Take Care Of Yourself please.
Thank you based Bleachers.
To whomever needs this You can do this
I think I've listened to this 17 times in a row and I'm still getting chills
Thanks for this song. I am chronically Ill. Helps me
Somebody: How many times you listen this song? I: I WANA GED BETTA
My baby daddy of 5 years and I were engaged for a year this February. I was pregnant w our second baby, just days away from birth when he decided to cheat on me. I didn't find out til 2-3 months after her birth and I was devastated. This song helped me get out of post partum depression ♡ it will get better !
Music perfect, it is bleachers, GO to win bleachers
used to listen to this when i was younger and it found me at the perfect time again. love y’all
Currently going through chemo for leukemia. This song is keeping me going!
