alec benjamin - if we have each other (sped up)

"So i am thankful for my sister even though sometimes we fight when highschool wasnt easy shes the reason i survived" the most relatable line for me

prob the first song ive ever cried about.

She was 19 with a baby on the way On the East-side of the city, she was working every day Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night To a one-bedroom apartment, and when she'd turn on the light She would sit down at the table, tell herself that it's alright She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive She'd never be alone Have someone to hold And when nights were cold She'd say The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad If we got each other, and that's all we have I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand You should know I'll be there for you When the world's not perfect When the world's not kind If we have each other, then we'll both be fine I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand You should know I'll be there for you They were 90 and were living out their days On the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed With each other, and though some times were hard Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart Even at the end Their love was stronger than The day that they first met They'd say The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad If we got each other, and that's all we have I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand You should know I'll be there for you When the world's not perfect When the world's not kind If we have each other, then we'll both be fine I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand You should know I'll be there for you You should know I'll be there for you I'm 23, and my folks are getting old I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived I know she'd never leave me and I hate to see her cry So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side I wrote this verse to tell her that The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad If we got each other, and that's all we have I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand You should know I'll be there for you When the world's not perfect When the world's not kind If we have each other, then we'll both be fine I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand You should know I'll be there for you You should know I'll be there for you

I’m so grateful for Alec Benjamin I listen to him when I’m feeling depressed. ❤

1:40 my favourite verse 😍

This song really hits hard. I'm about to turn 13 and my brother is 16. I relate to this because me and my brother fight A LOT but you know there would always be a good ending. We have a really good relationship and this song reminds me of him ❤

I love this song ! " the world is not perfect but it's not that bad " That's my psychology explained 😂

I wish I could relate like all of y’all. I’m an only child, and I have an aunt that I’m usually a year older for a couple of months until they become the same age and repeat. But they aren’t exactly a sibling to me. Knowing that you could “fight” with a sibling, and know nothing bad/everything would still end fine at the end of the day, casually hang out and love each other, I wish I could feel or relate. Ik grateful for my family, yes, but sometimes I would like a sibling, little or small. Someone I could relate and laugh with, and especially hang out with. Just basically saying how I wish for a sibling, that I’m an only child and wish for a sibling at times. Be grateful for siblings, even if they make you mad, because at the end of the day their family, and we love family. sometimes.

I use to listen to Alec Benjamin songs on a daily basis but for a while I nearly forgot about his songs and how they helped me. After hearing this song again on videos lately, it reminded me of when I use to listen to his songs and how much I loved them. I think I’ll go back to his music for a bit 😊

I’m leaving this comment here so everyone who likes I will get reminded of this beautiful song ❤️

Bro I’m literally crying so hard this song hits diffrent

this song really hits hard as someone whos always alone, even with brothers and parents, im always alone. they never show interest in me, so i just stay to myself. i dont have friends, and i dont have a lover. it sucks, but its okay i guess.

In fact, I am turning 15 and my brother is turning 18, and we fight a lot, but despite this, he is the best brother I have ever had.

My mom past away 1 Year befor i came to college and she played this song for me and i cried my eyes out...The fact that she's not alife anymore kills me soo soo soo much:((
