Lyrics:
Doc said I got twelve hours
I called you without a second thought
Plane ride within the hour
As she pictures life without a son
Oh, oh I know
One hour visitation
She beats me in chess another round
Don't matter what we're sayin'
I'm just glad you made it into town
Oh, oh
Save me now I'm facing
All my fears of the unknown
I've been shaking in my bones
Lately I've been praying
To a god I've never known
I can't do this on my own
So try not to cry
I won't say goodbye just yet
So hold onto my hand
Oh I'll be fine for tonight
With you by my side
Oh my, don't you know you're my lifeline
I know I'm not good at calling
Dad said I've fallen off the grid
We hardly say I love you
'Cause your parent's parents never did
Oh, oh
Save me now I'm facing
All my fears of the unknown
I've been shaking in my bones
Lately I've been praying
To a god I've never known
I can't do this on my own
So try not to cry
I won't say goodbye just yet
So hold onto my hand
Oh I'll be fine for tonight
With you by my side
Oh my, don't you know you're my lifeline
Let go 'cause I won't waste another minute
This distance, we're drifting from difference of opinion
I can't be mad I'm not what you planned for
I hope you would know that no one else could ever
Save me
I've been praying
To a god I've never known
I can't do this on my own
Try not to cry
I won't say goodbye just yet
So hold onto my hand
Oh I'll be fine for tonight
With you by my side
Oh don't you know you're my lifeline
My lifeline
Don't you know you're my lifeline

“We hardly say I love you because our parent’s parents never did” this hit me so deep definitely can relate love you music Joshua keep it up
this is literally what ricky does in hsmtmts...
Started smiling very bitter instantly when i heard that line
@@kaledoublescopegood point oml
the world owes him a HUGE apology. he's literally the sweetest person alive and i'm so so glad that those doctors were wrong and that he survived this
Ikr he’s the best I wish him lots of love ❤❤❤ :)
What did the doctors say? I’m new to his music do idk his story
@@bellabb13 when he was in the hospital the doctors told him that he had 12 hrs to live and that he was the sickest patient in the hospital. if i remember correctly he had heart failure from all the stress he was under
@@bellabb13 he received death threats from Olivia Rodrigo fans because of her song driver’s license. It put him under so much stress that he was in heart failure and almost died. He said in an interview that he thought to himself “I need to get better” and his health turned around.
@@lizaharris4517 OMG I DID NOT KNOW HE WAS AT RISK OF DYING WTF, I’M SO GLAD HE’S BETTER !!
Holy shit. I cried. I am imagining the 19, 20 yr old boy almost dying on the hospital and he's just calling for his mom. He's got 12 hours. He wants to apologise. I keep putting myself in his shoes and my heart feels so heavy and so light at the same time. I imagined myself saying all this to my mom, and it's just so heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. Holy fuck. Very powerful lyrics and the video, with just him, and then he started crying and I just lost it. I'm on the bus right now holding back tears.
Song also choked my su1c1d4l thought to a friggin' coma, so thanks for that josh!
@@Ali-yh3kh nahh u have no true sympathy gtfo
@@Ali-yh3kh Hope you're okay, sending love!
Oh my goodness. May God bless you.
get off thebus
Knowing this song is him singing about his mom, I'm fighting back tears because if I start I'll be sobbing. Proud of Joshua for persevering and overcoming all the challenges in his life so far to get here. Keep going Josh we're all with you ❤️
i am so incredibly proud of joshua bassett. he has been through so much trauma and pain in the last couple years. but he has come out on the other side of it stronger than ever, and im so ready for him to share a little more of his experience with us. joshua, you are love and light, and we couldn’t be prouder 🫶🏼
you are soooooo f*cking right❤❤❤❤❤
What happened?
@@mintchocxlate7154 All the backlash from Olivia Rodrigo and her fans and the haters. No hate to Olivia or Joshua, I love both of them very much and listen to both of their music repeatedly. 🙂
@@mintchocxlate7154 he was also in the hospital when he went into septic shock last year. he barely survived. that’s what lifeline is about - his mom coming to visit him during that time
So fucking true !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joshua deserves all the love
When he started crying I did too omg, he deserves so much after everything he's been through, I just wanted to give him a hug and tell him how proud I am of him also makes me happy to see more people here supporting him
I balled my eyes out
me too
AHHH!!
Oh my gosh this man is my husband and I wanted to give him a bear hug when he started crying as well in his music video!!!🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is so inspiring
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18) ❤
Amen 🙏🏽
Can you translate it in Arabic and mention the sura
yessssssssss 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️

Amen🥺❤
This EP completely broke me and the world owes joshua an apology, everyone was so quick to attack him as soon as olivia released her album like break ups don’t happen every day. Her fans should be ashamed, we don’t know the full story, no one does, expect them. I’m so proud of joshua and for how far he’s come, god knows how far he’s come and how much he’s been through I couldn’t imagine being in the hospital on what was supposed to be the happiest day of my life, every time he thinks of his song he’ll think back to the time he almost died and yet people still wished death on him. He has suck a sweet soul and I wish nothing but happiness from him, he deserves the world and this song is just beautiful it always brings tears to my eyes, I can’t even imagine how his mom feels when she hears it. Joshua i don’t even know you but you’ve helped me with so much in my life and you’ve helped me accomplish and overcome things just with your music, you’re one of the biggest Inspiration and I hope you get the recognition you deserve, your time will come
Your comment is just W like I love this
I mean they never even confirmed they were dating, it's insane
@@misseli922 I feel like his song smoke slow could’ve been what happened between him and Olivia and her boyfriend during their hsm series👀
Olivia gave me narc abuser vibes…the overt kind….something about music that can’t be imitated. Narcissistic ppl is a giant imitation game and her songs don’t pull on the heart like his do. Just an observation.
No Offence, but you didn't have to remind Josh about olivia
This EP is gonna break me
same girly :(((
fr. i am not ready at all
Already heard it Its amazing! Used to It and Lifeline is my fav. But the whole EP is just Beautiful. Production is 110%!
@@ImperialMJG is all in due time good????? i’m so excited for it
im crying so much right now
You can already feel the emotion through the thumbnail this song is gonna hit us hard
i’m gonna cry if he cries 🥺

CRYING
Who's here in 2024........This song rlly hits hard and got me emotional, God continue to protect u Josh🥺
This song made me cry The world owes him an apology
I love how you can feel that he is not only speaking to himself but to his fans and basically telling himself and us that we are not alone and it is okay to ask for a helping hand when necessary. It seems like a closure to all the suffering that we went through in 2021. I love every second of it.
But we r alone. He is a fake computer animated person and nobody cares about each other today. Anyway I been suffering my whole life trust me we r alone. I been always kind to everyone even bad ppl and it doesn't make a difference. I sacrificed to help everyone I could and they all treated me like dirt. It's nice for a song like this sure but it's only false hope and I'm not falling for it any more
Ppl like him don't exist and if they do they r busy with hookers
@@alyssabarr93 I'm sorry that ur going through that but just know that there is always hope no matter how bad things are trust me I've been there. All of that suffering will be worth it in the end. Once u put good into the world it will always come back to u❤️
And his loved ones
This is already one of my favorite songs. Definitely one of the most vulnerable songs Josh has written.
Whoever’s reading this, I pray that whatever your going through gets better and whatever your struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine 💖
Thanks
Thank you so much. I am going through something rn and I wish I could just disappear. Thx again
“You may not know me but I know everything about you. Even the very hairs on your head are numbered, for you were made in my image.” -GOD
AMEN 🙏🏻 🥹💜
I cant imagine how hard it was to sing and film this video let alone write it. dude poured out all his emotions. this song is so real and raw and I love it
“I’ve been praying to a God I’ve never known, I can’t do this on my own” ❤️
The thing I love about Joshua is that he lays everything on the table. Whenever he creates songs, music, art, he always puts his entire soul and his entire story into it. He is so vulnerable which I think is really unique in songwriters in 2022. I always appreciate how honest and genuine and raw his songs sound. Another amazing song
I love you Joshua! I’m so proud of you for seeking Jesus.. life isn’t easy but he is there for all our needs. I pray that anybody who is going through trials and loss that we would be comforted by Yeshua, that we would know he is all knowing and has everything under control. I’m going through heartbreak rn and this song really hit home. Lord fill our hearts with joy, comfort and peace. Only you can satisfy!!! ❤️🩹🙏🏽
"try not to cry" disse ele e eu já chorando desde o começo da música
hj vi a versao traduzida triste dms
This one definitely had me sobbing. I’m so proud, Josh. You are incredible.
josh why do your music videos make me sob 🥲 this is so sad, i’m so sorry you had to go through that
When he cried, it shattered my heart... He deserves all happiness in the world after all that he's been through and this is one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life.... Love you Joshua, keep going and stay strong ❤
Damn. Joshua’s music has been exactly what I’ve needed. I would simply do anything to make sure this man feels safe and loved. It’s only half of what he has done with his music and beautiful voice.😌🤟
Joshua, I can and will never be able to understand how a person like yourself that has gone through so much come out of it this strong. Your music is the one thing that is giving a clear message out to people. The fact you are going through all this and can not stay mad at the people who caused it and be forgiving towards them takes a VERY strong person with a beautiful soul and heart that truly cares for people. You are allowed to feel all those emotions and I'm so happy you felt healed enough to share what you've been through. We all love you and I can't believe how amazing you've been throughout all this shit. Your worth feeling loved, accepted, supported and above all alive. You've been through it. We all can see your growth. We can never truly forget what we've gone through, but the person that comes out of all those experiences are worth it. Pain is inevitable but suffering is not. And you showed that to us today. We love you Joshua. You are beyond amazing. Keep doing this music. You are inspiring so many including me. Never stop doing what you believe in. How you're doing this is perfect and beautiful in every single way. We love you.
Amen!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This whole ep has no skips
I'm the only one who shed a tear? 😭❤️
I literally… this is gonna be fire, I mean Joshua always slays, but you can tell from the names that these songs are gonna be absolutely immaculate. You go Joshua.💥🔥⭐️
YES 👏🏼
I’m so proud of Joshua!! The last two years have been challenging for him but I’m so glad he continues to get better and make new music. Despite this being an EP, I’m looking forward to when he released his first album. Keep going Josh!! We are all rooting for you!
Why people just can't treat him like he's a human being
This man deserved a Grammy for these song it has everything emotions better what people put out these days. This is what music is about his heart no beat over power just some good meaning so people can relate and move by thank you Josh thank you ❤😢
i can’t wait!! you deserve the world!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Me too! Can't wait!!🤘🤘
Me too!! I’m so excited 😆
crazy how far Joshua has came with all of his past experience, so much talent and strength 💓
Yeah it’s a destination
He should never be sad
Wow... "This distance, we're driftin' from difference of opinion I can't be mad I'm not what you planned for I hope you would know that no one else could ever" Got chills from that... Every parent should hear that...
Heard this song at his debut performance in New York City. A beautiful tribute to his mother ❤️
i am WRECKED. and I haven’t even watched it yet
After his Twitter and Instagram stories this song makes it have an added meaning
this man. this voice. this video. THESE LYRICS. I'm literally crying
i just want to say i'm going through a lot lately and just seeing Joshua who's come out of all he's been through and listening to his songs really makes me feel good
You will make it to🙏

@@ix_mortis that is very true
1:45 that line hits hard 😭
Joshua, I've never liked drama, and the drama that has been happening to you in the last two years has been crazy! I am a Christian myself and I believe that once you go to God and feel his love and compassion there is no turning back. Continue to ask God those questions and he will surely answer you. If you really want God to answer you, pray for revelation and understanding in his word. If you don't understand the king James version of the bible, look for an easier translation, but with all sincerity God loves you and he wants you to have a relationship with him.
josh will never fail to amaze me. his strength and love for others is so inspiring 🥺
joshua deserves the world, the world doesn’t deserve him
The Lord heard your pray and your healed!👏🏼🥹
miss u 💓
I applaud him for being so vulnerable and transparent in this video it’s organic and beautiful I’m so proud
this really got me sobbing i can only imagine how hard it was to actually record the song and mv, this is really his most vulnerable song so far im so fucking proud of you josh you deserve the world.
This song is the beacon for all who are going through hardship and hostility. When you feel depressed, don't forget to call and tell your loved ones how you feel. And thank you Joshua for making this song. Your vulnerability is your greatest strength XXX ❤❤❤
Hey Josh, you've been through tough times, but know that God loves you and that's why you've come this far, never give up on your dreams! And your fans from all over the world are with you even from afar! 🤗❤️ Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you. 🙏🏽 (1 Peter 5:7) God bless you!! ❤️❤️
His voice literally gives my anxiety and depression peace for a while.
I heard this by chance coming home tonight. It’s VERY rare for me to be so struck by a song after the first play through. This is one of those songs. So full of heart and soul. This is exactly the type of music that the world NEEDS more of right now more than ever. Thank You beyond words for this song, Joshua. The world is a better place because of this song and more importantly, because people like you are in it to bless us with something so precious.
“We hardly say I love you 'Cause your parent's parents never did” Knowing that you’re singing this to your mom it resonates with me so much. It made me tear up because it’s something my family never really says because my grandma never really said it, but I try to say it all the time because I want the last thing I ever say to them is I love you.
This is one of the saddest things I’ve ever heard! What a beautiful song! He deserves so much!

Thanks!
“Try Not To Cry” I am trying Joshua but you’re making it really hard!
Joshua is Criminally underrated
I hope he eventually gets the recognition he deserves I’ve been waiting for him to finally get the recognition he deserves and I can’t wait for the day he does
If he had not made it, I would have cried so hard. He's so nice and his songs are really good. The songs show so much emotion and when he was crying in the song it made me feel like I just wanted to support him however I can even if I don't know him. Also, when he said we hardly say I love you because your parents'parents never did you can see so much hurt in his eyes. Hope you find a way to feel better, Josh.
Joshua..I admire you for everything you did. What a difficult road you had to go through. You have a big heart and you are a precious person. Thank you that your music makes my life more beautiful. And thank you for talking about mental health. You are the best ❤️🌈🦋🙏🍀
Im so so so sorry for all you've been through, for all we've put you through! I just hope all the best for you and your beloved ones joshua!
I’m literally bawling my eyes out right now😭 Love you Josh
i cant believe that he went through all of this and is now so strong and is still willing to share all of this with us. he is a really great singer and actor and he deserves the world.
THIS SONG IS SO PAINFUL IM NOT READY😭😭
LOOK AT THE THUMBNAIL DO YOU WANT ME TO CRY RIGHT NOW????
the fact that this for his mom , just makes me cry even more
"my father told me not to cry in front of my mom" (LA) And he's crying in the video of the song he literally wrote to his mom. Poetic, I 💜 U
Joshua Bassett is the man who can make people feel things at a level they might have never felt in their life. If you love music, you can somehow connect to the pain even if you're still naive. Love you Josh. Keep Making us Proud 💜
you're the lifeline of so many, sending lots of love joshy 🤍
This EP is gonna break me…I’m so proud of Josh. He’s been through so much pain and he has come out on the other side of it, stronger than ever. Thank you so much.
I listened to this song for the first time and just thought "oh this is a cool song". I listened to it again recently for the 2nd thought and all I could think about was my parents when I had heart surgery. I broke down in tears. Thank you Josh! It means a lot that I have this song in my life now!! ❤❤❤
He has such a pure soul. Have you listened to his song "Sad Songs In A Hotel Room"?
@@martalila6422 The entire EP. It's so good!!
The real mothers out there who love their children unconditionally are the true heroes. I'm so glad this song is about his mom, don't get me wrong, it's not bad to write music about girlfriends or boyfriends, but it's really refreshing to hear songs about other loves, they're just as important, if not, even more.
you can tell how much pain, love, heartbreak, and every other feeling goes into each song. his music is soo good that i can’t even begin to describe the way it makes me feel🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
Hearing the story behind this song makes my heart ache, but seeing the courage you have to continue and God's grace I am beyond excited to hear this song. Sending love ♡

when he started crying, i did too. Josh, you deserve everything in this world. i love you so much and I'm so proud of you!! 🥺🤍
This song is comforting, but yet I have a heavy heart at the same time. I can feel the pain, but knowing we all are going through the pain makes it comforting that we aren’t alone. Joshua this song was like a deep breath I needed. Thank you for your music and for your vulnerability. Much love 🤎
this video is so raw and real and there's so much power in the simplicity. singing about his mom and his time in the hospital is something so vulnerable and the lyrics hit so hard. definitely started tearing up after the bridge :(
“Try not to cry” this got me in tears😭😭I’m here for this song
You can see the emotional strength involves on this song. He must have undergone life-death experience in the past. I am glad you were able to bounce back and here right now sharing this masterpiece, you are such an inspiration.
This literally touched my soul at a different level. I can tell it really came straight from your heart, and the vulnerability you’ve expressed is just incredible. Sending so much love and healing your way Joshua ❤️❤️
I am so proud of Joshua! ❤the amount of guts and maturity it takes to be that vulnerable! Joshua you quite literally were ripping my heart out during this song and I was loving it❤
Not to distract from the amazing song, but can we all take a second to look at the curl on the right that I making a perfect circle ⭕. Alright thank you, I will continue crying now 😭 💜
Lol true I laughed a little but continued crying
This is so sad but so good. Joshua, you’re the most talented person I’ve ever heard. Whenever you feel sad know that you have so many fans and we all love you. Don’t ever give up.
“We hardly say I love you cuz your parent’s parents never did.” My heart literally hurts
I came across "Sad songs in a hotel room" today and quickly fell in love with his whole discography. He truly deserves the best and I feel like he's such a kind soul even after all the shit he went through.
Es que su voz transmite tanto sentimiento y es tan linda la canción 😭😭😭 merece más reconocimiento por su arte musical
His
I'm glad he was able to show himself being this vulnerable
I love how his music is just so raw and brings out real emotions from everyone 🖤
Seriously, Joshua has changed my life, his songs mean everything to me, he’s a great singer and he’s so cute, I don’t understand all the hate he gets, but I CANNOT wait for this tonight! I have been waiting for a while now! I can’t wait to hear it! Ur such a great singer and role model for teens, i so look up to u and a other reason I wanna be a singer and a actor, Thank u so much for everything! Love ur songs bty, amazing outsidstanding like always, can’t wait!!!!❤❤❤
this song is amazing - felt this is my heart
Joshua is strong and brave
I love simple and beautiful things. I immediately knew Joshua directed this. He started crying at a really beautiful moment. I was sobbing when he got out of the picture because the crying got more intense. The one shot is a hard thing to pull off, what he did. I don't know why but I can see the broken Ricky here. And feel like he was inspired, especially the part when he says “We hardly say I love you because our parent’s parents never did.” I don't know, something breaks inside me when I see Josh crying, he conveys the feeling deeply. And I think the video really brought out the musicality of the song well. It's now one of my fav Josh songs. Well done again, Josh. I love your music. I can't believe I discovered it through the drama, you need so much more attention and this is a really big talent right here that more people need to see. I like music so rarely, and I can't stop listening to your songs. They are the only ones that I can relate to right now. Not the lyrics even, the songs, the melodies, the arrangements. Everything.
Another masterpiece from Joshua Bassett ❤💙
Can we just take a second and appreciate Joshua❤️
Already and have been doing that!!!! 🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍
joshua bassett is truly a gift to this world. the fact that he’s remained so kind despite what he’s gone through and continue to go through is amazing and inspiring. i couldn’t be more proud of him, he’s such a gift. the raw emotion that he brings to everything is amazing, and he really shows us that it’s okay not to be okay all the time, and that really speaks to me. this song brings tears to my eyes and gives me chills every time, he’s such a great song writer. joshua, i love you and what you’ve done this far and i’m so excited for what’s to come 🥹🫶🏼
I really like how this song is for his mom and it's soo sad
QUE MÚSICAAAAA! MERECE TODO O SUCESSO DO MUNDO! ❤💫
