You never know exactly what someone is going through or how they’re feeling, but you clearly know how you’re feeling. If you’re feeling like you want it all to end just know you’re not alone. Music says the things that we can’t say ourselves and these 15 songs will show you that your negative thoughts and feelings are only temporary (not permanent) and that you can’t be replaced.
1. “Missing You” – All Time Low
“Now don’t lose your fight, kid. It only takes a little push to pull on through. With so much left to do, you’ll be missing out, and we’ll be missing you.”
2. “Stay Alive” – Andy Black
“Stay alive for the good times, stay alive through the bad. Stay alive for the hopes and the fears and the dreams, the best that we ever had.”
3. “Drag Me To The Grave” – Black Veil Brides
“I won’t let these demons drag me to the grave!”
4. “Hold On” – Good Charlotte

“And through it all year after year, stand or fall I will be right here; for you.”
6. “Beside You” – Marianas Trench
“If your heart wears thin, I will hold you up. And I will guide you if it gets too much. I’ll be right beside you, nobody will break you.”
7. “Beneath The Skin” – Memphis May Fire
“Is our generation too blind to see true beauty lies beneath the skin?”

“Cast your net, cast it out, and I hope to god you’ll scream and shout. It’s everything you wanted, maybe more. Does it seem out of reach? Hit the ground and run with both your feet. Here’s a lesson that I hope to teach, believe you’ll be a dream catcher.”

“Without the dark the light won’t show, remember that you’re not alone.”
