[TW] Song about damaging relationships

[Jazzy]

This is a song (not mine) that I connect with in a powerful way, so I thought I would share it, as others may appreciate it too. Although, I think it best to mark it as a TW. It certainly brings up a lot of emotions in me.

The lyrics talk about how it is like an addiction to have hurtful people in our life. While I think the singer primarily is referring to a tendency to get stuck in a cycle of damaging romantic relationships, I believe it applies to parent/child and friendly relationships as well. Perhaps that cycle of damaging romantic relationships is based on being treated so badly in childhood.

I really like how powerful the message is, especially in the video [TW: Death]. The visuals help show just how damaging these relationships are. The singer also does a great job at expressing a lot of emotion and power in her voice as well, which helps highlight how important this topic is.

The song is primarily focused on the vocals, sung by a talented female singer. However, this is some electric guitar that comes in around the 2:30 mark. There is also an acoustic version available for those who do not appreciate the electronics.
