[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
How can you love someone and learn to let them go?
How can we fall apart on things we'll never know?
And isn't it funny you can change your ways
For someone to fill in your empty space?
Tell me, is it really love if you have to ask if they'll stay?
Yeah, I got somebody I love (Yeah)
Someone who's really important to me, but now they addicted to drugs (Damn)
Someone who not who they used to be and we ain't been keepin' in touch (Yeah)
I ain't gonna say any names at all 'cause I don't want no one to judge (Woah)
But I wrotе this song in hopes when they'll hеar it, they'll never forget who they was
I hope you feelin' your spirit enough (Joyner)
I wanna just tell you I love you in case that you really don't hear it enough (Woah)
I know we ain't talked in a while, but fuck it, I really don't care what it was
I wanna reach out, but you keep on shuttin' me down, or you ain't been carin' as much
And what the fuck happened to you? (Fuck happened to you?)
You're losin' a fight (Damn)
I never thought I'd see the day that you let addiction ruin your life
Everyone callin' that shit a disease and you makin' feel like you in the right
But I hate the fact that you really be usin' that as an excuse to do what you like
Or do what you might (Do what you might, woah)
And I keep on prayin' and reachin' for you
I hope you look in the mirror and see all the things I been seein' in you
Hope your reflection'll send you a message and show you this shit is much deeper than you
If you don't believe in yourself, then you'll never believe in somebody believin' in you
When I gotta tell you truth (Tell you the truth)
'Cause I'm 'bout to lose it (Lose it)
And you wan' deny all about it and just wanna make up a million excuses
Tearin' our family apart, but you'll leave us scarred and everyone bruises
Every decision affectin' us all and if you get lost, then everyone loses
For real
And I'ma be next to leave
I know that God got a plan and He ain't fulfillin' your destiny
Much as I need you, I will not be stickin' around or watchin' you rest in peace
I promise, I love you, but I gotta do what's best for me
Look, I know you been callin' for me (Yeah)
You hittin' my phone, but I been alone so long, I'm harder to reach (Joyner)
I know you ain't say any names, but I got a feeling you talkin' to me
I hate when these demons get into my soul, I feel like I'm caught in the beefs (Uh)
How do I look go of something I know is something is bigger and stronger than me?
If I could be honest, I'll tell you the truth, I'm not who you want me to be (Nah)
Nobody is perfect, not even you, so why you keep targettin' me?
I feel like we can't even have a genuine convo without you startin' to preach
I feel like a dog on a leash, it's not what I need
Livin' in hell, warned you when I gotta leave, like how can I breathe?
And how you gon' tell me addiction's not a disease? Fuck do you mean?
If it's not a disease, then why has it gotten to me? It's not what it seems
But you always be makin' me feel like the problem's me
I'm not gonna be who you want me to be, let God decide it for me
And speakin' of God, how the fuck you know all of the plan's He's gotten for me?
So give me a break
I been inchin' away from tryna get outta this dream, I'm driftin' away
How come you only there for me when I be tryna get clean? My biggest mistake
Is me wishin' that things were different, I feel like the drugs is made for sinnin'
It's why I been stuck in the same position, fuck
I'm fallin', but I cannot budge
Been wonderin' why I'm in love with a strange addiction
And why the fuck you always playin' the victim
Lot of this shit that you hate to mention
It sucks 'cause I had to taint your vision
But ain't nothin' left for me
So you could just quit addressin' me
I guess it's just my destiny
So take me as I am or let me be, I'm tired of you stressin' me
'Cause shit, I gotta do what's best for me
[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
How can you love someone and learn to let them go?
How can we fall apart on things we'll never know?
And isn't it funny you can change your ways
For someone to fill in your empty space?
Tell me, is it really love if you have to ask if they'll stay?

Tell me is it really love if you have to ask if they'll stay?

This shit hit different if your an addict or love an addict... You killed it Jelly!
Came out of rehab today and it’s no coincidence this song came out two days ago!! Im def taking it as a message, im proud to be clean and still here. I wouldn’t wish addiction on my worst enemy. God bless anybody who reads this and to anyone struggling with addiction life can get a lot better I promise you!!! Stay strong 💪🏿… Btw I wish Eminem and jelly roll did a song🔥👍😄
Incase you haven't heard it today, I'm proud of you for getting the help you needed. 💜
You probably dont care. But please continue on the steps forward. Dont consider yourself cured. I been in this shit for 14 yrs, im 28 now. I went to rehab at 23, and when i got out i felt just like that. Didnt follow through consistently with what i should have done. And back in the same fucking hole.
Wishing you the best. Stay the course.
@@Lukaine appreciate it brother… I’m doing things differently this time I’m about to be 37 been to more programs jails and institutions then I care to say… I’ve been attending AA for the first time…. Im taking it one day at a time..
@@Lukaine I pray that eve trying works out for you as well.. 🙏🙏
Lord hear me now, Push me forward and up. Guide me away from the dark towards the light. And thank you for always having our backs. In your name we pray 🙏
You got the amen?
In who's name. Just say it so it's genuine
Amen
Amen. Praying for your strength
In the Lord Jesus Christ's name we pray
Currently fighting now, I love my family. And I get both sides. Made me cry , like a baby. God help me.
God will help you through, praying and believing he could get me through got me through my addiction ❤ Keep your faith strong, he loves you and he wants you to overcome this!
Keep fighting I promise it gets easier prayers

My mother is an addict. This song is so beautiful. Describes everything we all feel, tired of watching her deteriorate.
my mom is a drug addicted to this song hits hard
I feel both of yall my mom was to then i tyrned out to be . A 8 yr prison sentence saved my life !! havnt used in 14 years . theres always hope it just may not come in the way that you want , god bless yall 🫡
My mama and brothers are too. I was but was a different drug. I was able to get through it and I don't judge anyone that has been through it bc it's the hardest thing I've ever experienced in my life. Be there for your mom and let her know you love her no matter what. Pray for your mom❤ Prayers are powerful, anything is possible through Christ, he is the reason I was able to overcome it❤
Been listening to this on replay ALL DAY! My best friend is currently sectioned due to his addiction and facing time. I’m 10 yrs sober myself so this hits home for me. 😭😭😭
5 days clean baby lets go feel amazing god is so good i just wish i could share the joy and health i feel living this clean life with those i love most who still use .....damn its sad this song hits home
I lost my brother to a fentanyl overdose later November 2023. These lyrics hit me right in the fucking heart 😭
I lost my brother to fentanyl in 2022 I feel you completely 😭😭
Same here...I lost my brother July 2023 to an accidental fentanyl overdose 😢
Get money not high kids
I lost my mom july4th2021. May God be with you . Much love and prayer to you. I know that shit hard ❤
@@romeano4882 I’ll pray for you ❤️
This song really hits when you have a parent in addiction. Jelly always helps🤍
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Just for today!!
My eldest daughter is an addict. 20+yrs.shes almost 37. This reminds me of my relationship with her.😢 The song gave me goosebumps,with tears in my eyes...
Both my sisters are addicted to fentanyl
@@emilymellinger6376 i am so sorry. Hoping for their recovery 🩷🩷🩷
Wow...every time you release a new track it completely blows my mind. I have been sober from all opiates for 3 years this past march 3rd after a 20 year addiction. When i say this song envelopes everything we go through as addicts as well as what our loved ones have to endure throughout our active addiction. Well said....man. well said. Lets take a moment for all those that are still suffering. Much love
Wow!!!! This is deep, gave me goosebumps 😢 I kno people truly dealing with this battle and always making excuses about why they do what they do. This song just truly touched me 😢
Man this broke everything both of us say to one another every time there’s a conversation to be had. Thank you for the healing in the song
Shout out to everyone going through addiction (drugs, alcohol, etc.) or being there for someone who is... -You can do it... -Your stronger than you'll ever know... -Resilience -Patience -Faith
I lost My brother two years ago to a fentanyl overdose. I miss him more than anything in this world. & This song hits me right in the heart. 💔🙏
I believe in you no matter how messed up you are ❤❤❤❤
Amazing expression on such a sensitive topic. Addiction destroys and makes you feel guilty, like damn how much can I do to help you before it consumes ME! Love is HARD.
I’m 5 months & 1 day clean from fentanyl today ❤️
But at the same time , my entire life is falling apart . I lost my job over a lie after contacting HR about the harassment I was experiencing & because I’m a felon with theft on my record I’ve really been struggling tryna find another job & idk how imma pay rent .. I’m scared imma be homeless with my 2 dogs & my cat … idk what to do anymore . I’m trying so hard to do right but everything in my life is going wrong .. 😢
We need to be honest about Joyner's pen game❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Man my heart.. my best friend of 30+ years. I miss you, i love you and i pray you get it together before death takes you
❤So thankful that my children haven't followed in my steps, as far as addiction. I hope that my youngest daughter doesn't fall victim to any addiction. That's what we worry about the most, when we're in recovery. Thank you guys for this song.❤
Literally going through the same things with this song. Thank you is all I can say ❤
Daaaaanmmmnnnnnn I've never felt a song so much 😢
If you don't believe in yourself , Then you'll never believe'n somebody believe'n in you .
yo used not like jelly roll but this song just changed everything just fell out of a relationship for this same reason they were addicted
I had to love him and let him go but it hurts like hell. I love you 😘💕😘💕
You never give up.
Nope I'll never give up. He's being hurt.
Keep fighting the battle. We do recover...this song hit me right in the soul and I've been in recovery for 6 yrs. This hits hard ❤
I don’t think my dad will ever recover. I don’t think that’s always the case
@@skylarwilliams6814 sending my love and healing energy. Try and keep your head up and know that it's his journey..take a step bck and love from a distance. My heart is with you ❤️
Canada. Thank you for this beautiful song. Sent this to my ex husband battling addiction
I loved a man who was a recovering addict who relapsed while in our relationship, begging him to get clean and do better for himself and our family. Now that I’m letting go and moving on with my life, he’s getting clean and doing better for himself. It hurts so badly but I love him and I can’t go back.
I am losing a dear friend to his addiction. I finally just had to walk away. I hope he beats his demons before it's too late. This song hits hard for me. My favorite line in the song is. I never thought I'd see the day would let addiction ruin your life.
I will always love you. I’m forever thankful for what you have done for me and those around me as well! Your on your way to astronomical achievements and success in life I just wish I would have fought for myself but mainly for US. I can’t be so caught up on the fact that the sweet times came to an end. I promise myself to relish the memories. 💔 💔 💔 💔
I heard part of this song had too hear the rest jelly roll and bunny are such humble people and this song sounded fire❤❤❤
JELLYYY!❤❤
Amazing break up song from a toxic relationship even when you still love them, but you had to leave for what was best for you!!!
I have experienced addiction. It's something I would NEVER wish on anyone! So many people who have never experienced it will never understand the struggle of it and how it can consume your whole identity and whole life, oftentimes the ones that never had a battle with addiction always have the most to say. I was able to recover but so many don't make it out alive. If people showed more compassion and understanding than this world would be a better place for us all. Never give up on anyone that you love that's battling addiction, you don't have to support their addiction but you can still give them love and be there for them bc it's also a lonely experience. People end up in these situations oftentimes due to past traumas, life in general, or a car accident from my experience. People shouldn't be so quick to judge others bc it can happen to you. Be kind and humble❤
This needs a pt and jelly roll needs to rap
This song relates a lot and deep joyner lucas is dope for real
felt this for real.
It makes me sad cause ive watched my families addictions since i was a kid this song hit diffrent when you experience this for decades 😢
Just wow , another amazing song !
Brooklyn 🖤🔥
Wow hands down this goes hard! 🔥🔥
The love of my life, my baby boy, now 30 years old, sent me this song. CAN I love him enough to let him go?
This hits my heart hard
This song has more meaning than the users will ever know
Anything is possible if u really want to change u will no excuses ... Been in the dark walked thru hell alone and made it back ... Change surroundings change the people u hang with... If u cant motivate yourself to change for the better ... U doomed u think someone is coming to save your ass and u cant even help yourself
God that’s how you get rid of something bigger and stronger than you
So beautiful,this really is my favorite song😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍
That's hit hard. ❤
This song really touches me I love it yall did great on this song because every word I feel that shit ❤️🥺
Lost my daughter to OD 1/22/24 this song hits !
🤍🙏🏽
One day you'll believe me MY Amor Aeternus 🥺❤️🔥❤️🔥. I always saw the Real you. 🙏
wow... wow... wow...
What it means if I guy I stick around for 6 years thru everything sends me this song, this after he’s been pushing me away, sounds like a leave me alone song to me😢
I think it's pretty much saying if you can't stop using, then you're giving them no choice but to have to let you go. Sad but true. Coming from an addict in recovery who recently relapsed. I had the best man, and I was sober when we got together, then relapsed, and lied about it, and he broke up with me, but it's not over, he just wants me to get better, and he can't do it for me, I have to do it for me, I can't do it for him either, even though I would do anything for him. He just can't watch me destroy my life, because he knows I can do it, and I just have to know I can do it too. Starting over with my recovery and hopefully our relationship and if both, then I know it'll be stronger than what it was before, because he refuses to give up on me and I refuse to give up on me. Much love to you.
@@Shay-dk7ng he’s the user tho
@@itsonitsway1487 Then he's telling you not to give up on him, but if you have to then do it. I've grown up around addicts my whole life, and it's really hard to give up on people, maybe you could love them from a distance, but if nothing changes like if he refuses to get help or even try, then you probably have no choice. Idk your whole situation though, but don't rush into giving up on him if you care, but it's ultimately your choice to make. Just trying to give an opinion on the subject, I know you didn't ask, but I felt it needed to be said. Hugs 🫂
😢 Lost my brother December 2022 to fentanyl overdose. Lost my mom February 2023 (I believe it was an OD as well but the coroner didn't do a toxicology)the coroner ruled it medical and now I'm watching from afar my Dad do the same. So I felt this song.
Fighting….they left me this weekend.

❤
Asked for help so many times that i can’t anymore..
You havta help yourself!!💯 I'm speaking from experience. I tried every avenue possible to assist with sobriety.... In many places, there is no help. It was clear,that I'd have to fix the problem I created
the people reading this comment. Quit smoking
okay
Today my last day I was, already planning but that fact that I seen this 1st, motivation 👍
I was smoking and I stopped I quit, but I started vaping instead to help me quit and now I really need to quit vaping. Hopefully this is my motivation to stop. I want to quit so badly. Thank you for this comment. 🙏💙🙏
Smoking weed?? Nahh bro it's for the people Mind ya own business
real drugs goofy weed a plant lol
The fuckin truth😢
🔥🔥🔥🔥🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The doing what’s best for me hits hard about leaving your partner I’m sturggleing to I’m in a position I might have to do the same thing to support my kids
This specks so loud to me 😢
It's not that easy like wtf the problem is not me
Addiction is killing us all….me personally I dabble in substance abuse and have a lot of additive traits, but it can be anything we are addicted too.
It’s not easy at all and you’re not alone!
It’s always going to be you that has the problem
What a song. I think I may be on the verge of insanity.
Jelly roll had very few words on this song.. Basically a collaboration.. Not sorry but he should have more on this..
What's the answer to that question ? how do we carry on even though we love someone how do we let them go
New
My favorite brother is addicted to crack cocaine..heartbreaking 😢..I feel horrible unable to cure him, how can I stand and watch him fall..yet all I do seems to do nothing..😢
Not a dry eye 😭❤💔❤️🔥❤️🩹
I'm one month clean just got on the vivitrol shot got it a few days ago to secure it for those that don't know you drink or do drugs you'll get really sick and won't feel anything and the amount you would have to do to feel anything will kill you probably
😔😔😔😔
My mother is addicted to morphine shots and loratab pills. This is such a good song. I just want the hospital to flag her already so she can’t get those morphine shots anymore. She goes every 2 weeks bc her pain is bad and they give her shots and pills. This is heartbreaking. She just wants something hard to curb the pain…. This song hits home
I had a comment addressed for that first verse, but the song isn't bad after the second corrects the position. Its just capitalism homie, addiction is a symptom not a decision
