About 4 years for me. The problem with that is that I still work in the same building as her. Every time I see her, hear her, smell her as she walks by, I get that empty feeling inside and it's like we broke up all over again. Wish I didn't work with her. It would at least be a little easier if she was out of sight, out of mind.
Steven same here brother, it's absolutely destroyed me. Don't see a point of trying to move on cause I compare every one to her and girls do not like that I suppose
+piercethelauren Mother nature is a bitch who takes people you care about away from you for reasons you may not see. Sometimes you have to give her what you think is irreplaceable before you receive something better in return. Patience pays dearly.
Every time I listen to this song, I'm reminded of my best friend. Well, more like once best friend. I fell in love with her so god damn quickly and I knew nothing could ever become of it, so I kept my mouth shut. I would listen to her talk for hours. A day after her birthday she started dating this guy she goes to school with. Ever since then, she hasn't spoken to me. I tried for awhile, but it was too obvious that she didn't need me anymore. That was nearly five months ago. I just hope she's as happy as I am lonely.
McKayla Gryder awe, ive had something similar happen to me.. but when I feel sad about it I usually remember the old saying "if you love something, let it go.. if it comes back it was always yours...if it doesn't, than it never was"
Fuck man. When you used to sing all those songs together and then now whenever it comes on you just have to change it bc you know what it’s gonna make you feel
So I'm far from a heartbroken teen at 31 with my own family but this song transports me back to the days before I got my shit together. The real one's on it's way, boys.
Well said mate I'm 11 year combat marine veteran whose got 5 bullets in the torso still . Yet all I think about is right before my first deployment Where I gave up on my youth side and went in head first into firefights in wars that I didn't give a shit about
If you have first world problems and like dogs and Real Friends, we think you'd like us also. We are a new American acoustic pop punk duo. Thanks for supporting independent music!
This fucking song oh my god But reading the comments it's really comforting that there are so many people who are as touched by this song as I am. It reminds you that you're not the only person with a broken heart. We're all gonna make it, guys.
This song hits me really hard, especially the line "I bet I don't run through your mind". I've not talked to her (she doesn't want to or can't) since June, and she's been in and out of my life for even longer. I miss her so much, not only as a significant other, but just as a friend and companion. She's really sickly too, and all I want is reassurance that she's ok. The worst part about it would be the fact that it was a long-distance thing and she and I met online, and nobody takes me seriously when I tell them about it (even when we were still together). I guess I just had to let it out somewhere, so forgive me if I talk too much.
I feel your pain bro. I was also in a long distance relationship for a year and 4 months. One day she broke up with me and then the very next day I find out that she already had a new boyfriend. It sucks but there's nothing I can do about it.
I was in a long distance relationship as well for 2 years then the last 3 we were together. She broke my heart telling me that this isn't what she wants but she was still holding on to me but I couldn't just be her friend when I still loved her. Long story didn't want to type the whole thing. But I took care of her to where she even has a joint account set up with me anything she wanted I did. I treated her so good like a queen princess whatever you want to call it. I went above and beyond... Oh well she said that's life people break up well I told her I'm not going to stick around in her life if she doesn't want anything to do with me relationship wise.
It happens to the best of us man, ive been there. I feel so much happier now that i have gone through all of that, it made me a stronger person and it will to you as well
When I first listened to this, I hoped I’d never find out what it would feel like to actually understand and be hit square in the feelings by this song. 4 years later, I’d give anything to go back to being that naive.
I just discovered this song in an playlist and have become obsessed. Its funny how music from our past captures the feelings we have in the present. It's the usual story. I had dated this woman for a year and I thought everything was going great until she broke up with me.
It’s been 3 years. Most days I feel better, but every now and then I see something that reminds me of the old gang. I still miss you guys. The animosity is gone, I’m not mad anymore, but fuck if I don’t miss what we had.
Love this song so much. Whenever I start listening to it, I have to make sure I've queued it up to repeat a minimum of 10 times. At the very least! Amazing stuff
When you relate to a song so much, it literally feels like it's going to make your world collapse in the rest of the way. Sitting here wishing I could cry. And all I want to know is that it gets better.
its so nice that people write on youtube their storys. I was broken so long and listened this song. Now I listen that song after 3 years and I have new love and i love her so much. I hope that everyone finds their happiness. Dont give up guys and girls
Over three year relationship traded in for college and a new guy. Thank you for reassuring me we'd work out after i was so scared, i put all my hope in you and you spit it right back in my face. I hope this is what makes you happy, you've lost me for good.
I used to be a scene pop punk kid. I miss those days, years and relationships later I look back and think about all the things I would have done better. 27, damn I'm getting old. take me back to 07!
Vans Warped tour 2014, RF's played at ampitheatre stage in Mansfied, MA annd it was one of the best shows live I've ever seen. RF'S puts on an amazing show, much respect for these dudes
This song helped me so much. It helped me to get away from her. It made me realise she destroyed the best parts of me, it helped me going through the toughest time of my life. I listened to this thinking of her, I listened to this while I spent a night in the town where she lived, hoping she would pass in front of my window. Maybe a broken heart can never mend. But songs like these are always there for you. From the bottom of my soul, guys, THANK YOU.
The most wonderful thing about music is that it resignats with you and your mood. Every word that comes out of his mouth I feel a 1000 times over because its whats happening to me right now. Every single word. My dog is the only one I tell my problems to now. I used to have a best friend as a girlfriend but she split up. its hurts so much because she was the one I told every single thing to, and now I have no one to listen to me. I stay up all night thinking about her and hows she doing and if she ever does the same about me..
It's been two years since me and my girl broke up. And after all that time and having other relationships, I can honestly say that after all this time, to this day she's the only one I truly love. Damn I would do anything to have her back again.
this is one of those songs that make you think back to a particular time and a particular someone.. i still feel so much for him. i still think about him all the time. so fucking relatable.
I can relate to this song so much. The way it relates to me because of one of last relationships, for the majority of the relationship my significant other made me feel like the only person in the world. But then for the last month of the relationship, I just felt like the other person didn't really care about me or the relationship. They barely talk to me, I always had to initiate the conversation and now everything is different.
Lyrics: You used to make me feel like I could walk on water Now most nights I'm just sinking down You're the reason why I can't listen to the same songs I used to I write songs about you all the time I bet I don't run through your mind I've given up on you, but it still hurts to know you're not alone Don't worry, I'll keep out of your life and stay awake at night It's four AM and you're keeping me from closing these sleepy eyes Does the thought of me keep you up at night? Like the light on the ceiling of bedroom Lately, my dog's the only one around that listens to my problems It's been a lonely year It's been a lonely year It's been a lonely year It's been a lonely year I write songs about you all the time I bet I don't run through your mind I've given up on you, but it still hurts to know you're not alone Don't worry, I'll keep out of your life and stay awake at night With just my skin and bones It hurts to know you're not alone I've given up on you, and my skin, and my bones
I saw these guys live yesterday and I only knew this song by them. It was just one song but it makes me so emotional. I sang my heart out and knew every word by heart because of the amount of times I've spent listening to it when I felt it was the only thing that truly understood my problem. Cheesy, I know. But I'm serious. I love this song so much
THIS SONG IS AMAZING, I'VE MEMORIZED IT, I SING IT IN THE SHOWER AND I ALWAYS REWRITE THE LYRICS ON A SCRAP PIECE OF PAPER WHEN I'M BORED. ITS JUST SUCH A GOOOD SONG.
Man, this song gets to me everytime. Every girl that's dumped me, every time I've been left out by people I thought were my friends, so much of this resonates with me.. Love this band.
It's funny that the sorts of comments I'm reading, I would've written myself a few years back. But it does get better I promise. 18 years old and extremely happy. If anyone ever needs anyone to talk to, I've been through a shit-tone, so I'm happy to help anyone come out the other side x
this song reminds me of my ex. I turned down my top three schools in LA (dream place) to stay for her because she didnt want to leave home and i ended up going to a junior college. A month into college she dumped me. Two days later i hear shes talking to someone else. Two weeks later theyre dating, two months later she moves to LA with him. Now shes living my dream while im stuck in this shit hole
i miss having someone to wake up to.. and playing videogames with them for days.. spending all night on the phone making each other laugh. feeling like you can do anything with them by your side. I would kill to have that again. Id kill just to be someones everything again. but only if it will last forever this time.
***** You feel my exact pain.. I spent 2 years in a long distant relationship and it recently just ended.. I would kill for that feeling of love once again. Forever. Not just for a little while. That's just not me.
"it's 4am and you're keeping me from closing these sleepy eyes" *looks at time* *says its **4:15**am* me:*realizes why I've been up* me:*is listening to this song* me: "fuck."
I was looking at my past projects. Projects that I worked on for my beloved exs in the past. Songs, poems and letters. Now I realize my exs were just a preparation to get me ready to meet my future soul - mater I haven't met yet. And this song just came on. And I broke down in tears to this song. Again.....
irealized iwas in love with someone months after I broke up with them. its been like 2 & a half years since we spoke & I haven't seen anyone since then. I keep in contact with his brother but I'm too afraid to even try & ask how he's doing. I wish he could just hear me out so we can be cool again, it sucks. I'm such a self conscious wuss. & I feel like I'll never move on if there's any type of closure. he just totally dissapeared. I just hope he knows I still care. & even if he has a girlfriend I'd still want to be there for him. I don't him to shut me out forever..whew, never really admitted that.
100Proof Halfpint It's difficult, I can only imagine. That's how my ex currently is. She broke up with me four times in our relationship, each time getting back with me within a day or so because she said she loved me and was confused. The fourth time was final and she ended up dating some other guy. 6 months later, they break up and she says she still misses me and wants me back so badly and it's been very confusing and stressful. I know she's not doing it intentionally but it's toying with my emotions. Luckily I have a girlfriend now, of over a year, and I'm very happy with her. My ex still comes to mind though sometimes and it eats away at me. We haven't talked in so long. I know how you feel for the most part, so believe me when I say it gets easier. It might hurt right now, but you can eventually move on. For some people, it takes weeks, others, years. You just have to try and away stay positive. Think about your future and start planning it out. It doesn't matter what age you are, you'll always have a future. Think about where you want to go and what you want to do and what you want to see, regardless of who will be there with you. A second thing you could do is to just talk to the guy. You never know what can happen. Sometimes talking to that person and telling them how you feel can really clear everything up, and whether you get back together or not, at least it's off your chest. I say try to talk to that person again, and maybe you can at least be friends. If that doesn't work out, remember that you've always got a future no matter who comes and goes. Stay strong, okay? I hope I helped, and I'm glad you could vent. :)
Dominic Darrell yeah that's, true. & sorry to hear that but at least you past the breaking point of wanting to move on :) that's a huge step. its weird because when I'm in crowded places itry to look out for him like I'm going to run into him, even though I temporarily moved out of state. he's just cramped in my mind at random moments. but yeah, I guess I'll try asking his brother about him first? that's the only way ican really get ahold of him. I've been avoiding that attempt for months, but its time that I get it over with for my own good. its just the worst feeling ever haha.
Hey man, I once had a best friend during the summer. We were literally the best of friends, we would go to the park and text all day and even call. She was a girl and I had a girlfriend at the time. My girlfriend broke up with me because she had supposedly seen screenshots of our convos and thought I was cheating on her when I wasn't. I had asked my best friend if she sent the screenshots but she said no. I gave up on having relationships and decided to stick by my one and only friend. I had sworn to protect her and I really loved this girl with all my heart. Then when school starts things change. She starts to avoid me and calls me annoying and tells me to go away. Yet this one time we were ice skating and I held her hand since she didn't know how to skate, and she had lost her phone and was crying, I was literally there hugging her and telling her things would get better trying to cheer her up. But whenever it came to my problems she would say she didn't care and would go on about all things involving her. I thought it wasn't a big deal until I eventually got tired of it. I stopped talking to her and ignored her whenever she tried to talk to me. Today she said she wanted to talk to me but I had said I didn't want to. She asked me many times why and I just said "reasons" because I didn't want to upset her. She started crying and I just walked away. I feel really guilty and I don't know what to do. As much as I don't want to talk to her, deep down in my heart I still feel like I love her. I never wanted to see her cry because of me, but I'm just stuck man, I'm just stuck..
Power Hour Remember that you are the most important person in your life. If she is treating you poorly, it may be because she knows how you feel. However, maybe it's the opposite and she actually doesn't know how mean she's being to you. Talk to her about it and let her know how it's making you feel, as it's only fair to the both of you. She could be manipulating you, oblivious to how you feel, or going through a bad time. Narrow it down and find out what caused this change. Communication is the human race's strongest asset, so try to use it. Talk to her and really try to fix the problem. It's not easy and you may not want to, but ignoring it only creates more and more distance between you two, and you will eventually lose contact. If she isn't a positive influence in your life, you have every moral right to cut her out of your life, but I suggest trying to fix the negativity first. Love really really sucks, and leaves such a wicked scar on your heart. Over time, they will fade. Some might stay forever, and that's okay. Use your experiences in life, both good and bad, as a foundation to move on and get stronger. Good luck friend! Let me know how it fairs if you'd like!
This song in particular got me through a lot. Back in May my boyfriend committed suicide. He meant the world to me. There were so many things we did together, had plans to do together. We met in first grade, we were always best friends. He stood up for me against a bully during recess and so I kissed him. We were always there for each other, we talked for hours each night. He was seriously the one, I loved him more than life itself. One month before he passed he sent me a ring pop through the mail and also sent a letter asking me to marry him. We were so close! Thinking about him is tough but even though he's not here physically, he'll always be with me. There is not a single day that I do not think of him... He is my bestfriend, my world, and the love of my life. On May 9th, I got a letter from his grandparents including an invitation to his funeral and a copy of his suicide note. He wrote two pages to me apologizing for everything that he has ever done to hurt me, he was so guilty of everything he's done wrong. Reading through just tore my heart in half. I wish I could have been there to hold him, let him know he is not alone but I wasn't. Our last conversation was on April 6th and we had a fight. He had to move to Texas with his grandparents because of something that happened and I was having my own problems. I was rude to him, I yelled at him for no reason, I knew he was hurting. Sometimes I feel like it's my fault but I truthfully know it's not. He loved me and hopefully wherever he is, he still does. If giving up everything means seeing him again, being with him, holding him again... I would take it. Living without him has seemed impossible but I'm managing to get through it. But whatever happens in the end, we will be together again and he will be in my protection for good. In loving memory of Brian Alexander White.
German Viola, even though this comment was four years ago i just wanted to say that me and my girlfriend have been suicidal for a bit and we are only living for each other. but we find ourselves so broken that we consider joint suicide, one day we were sitting in my room and in opened a bottle of pills and didn't say anything, i poured some in her hand then poured the rest in mine. i was so sad that i couldn't do it anymore so i gave up. she got up took the pills out of my hand and flushed them down the toilet, she was strong for me when i couldn't be. i will always remember that day because she picked me up from my worst and brought hope, and i want to do the same for her.
I lost the love of my life and I feel responsible as well. Thank you for sharing your story baby as it really helped me I havent been willing to share mine and reading about Brian and how much he matters to you is beautiful and I understand. Hope you're doing well now and much love
You know what is the worst part is, actually pulling away and finally saying I’m done. Then you’re left numb for awhile not really letting it hit you, then it does... holy shit does it hurt knowing that you liked them more than they did you. Their face runs through your mind and you know that the action is not reciprocated. They’re fine while you’re here breaking, man I’m going through it now, heartbreak is terrible. It’s like yearning for something that you can’t have and it’s so fucking painful.
i love when he says "your the reason i cant listen to the same songs i used to" because its so true if i hear the same music that i did when we were together i still start to break down as if we broke up over again
There was a teaser for this song a long time ago before the EP released and it was just an instrumental of this song. I want to hear this song's instrumental, possibly extended as well. This song is beautiful.
being in love with someone who doesn't love you back is so exhausting.
I fucking feel you ugh!!
same here.

It's been 5 years for me. That one person you can't seem to replace.
Well I would but circumstances that have happened make it impossible, I'm not putting that issue out on here tho.

About 4 years for me. The problem with that is that I still work in the same building as her. Every time I see her, hear her, smell her as she walks by, I get that empty feeling inside and it's like we broke up all over again. Wish I didn't work with her.

Ain't that the truth
well that means you havent been fucked up as someone who feels 100% of the lyrics :D better to be alone than fucked up by a loved one :D

Instead of making me sad, this song makes me happy, it just reminds me of how far I've come.
I feel happy sad and nostalgic too
Its been a lonely year
I had a lonely year, I'm just hoping that my junior year in highschool will be a turning point, there's no way I'm letting life pass me by again......
I just started senior year and by far it feels like it's going to be the loneliest year yet
I thought junior year was pretty lonely, this year just seems by far worse.
Devon Skaggs i can relate
sky evans same here. Barely into senior year, and I feel completely isolated from everyone. Good luck to you guys.
Anyone here at the end of 2024? Haven’t heard this song since 2016 and it randomly came to my head 😢
feels like nostalgia after not hearing this song for a long time
No matter how much time passes, I always seem to find my way back to this song one way or another
Literally… somehow always find a reason to come back to it and cry to it
Same. This band in general will never not have an apartment in my brain
Same and this song takes me back to when I was a teenager. 🫀😭✨
it's been almost six months and i'd still run back to him in a heartbeat

But reading the comments it's really comforting that there are so many people who are as touched by this song as I am. It reminds you that you're not the only person with a broken heart. We're all gonna make it, guys.

I did cry omg it's so perfect😍

Haha! No, that was actually Emma Libby . She was over at my house on my computer and account and decided to say that.

A year and a half spent on somebody that I can truly say is the only one I've ever loved. Just to say it would never work out.
It happens to the best of us man, ive been there. I feel so much happier now that i have gone through all of that, it made me a stronger person and it will to you as well
Going through the same thing, bro...it's been year and a half as well.
I so feel you

When I first listened to this, I hoped I’d never find out what it would feel like to actually understand and be hit square in the feelings by this song. 4 years later, I’d give anything to go back to being that naive.
Hope you're doing better 2 years later.

@@sparkkoo0 What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What?
When I'm sad I listen to this song then get depressed even more. #life
ey b0ss I think we all do
big truth
When you relate to a song so much, it literally feels like it's going to make your world collapse in the rest of the way. Sitting here wishing I could cry. And all I want to know is that it gets better.
Been with the same guy since i was 15. We’re in our 20s now. He broke up with me 2 weeks ago , so glad real friends is here to help me through this.
"It's 4am & you're keeping me from closing these sleepy eyes" the truth and depth in this simple statement is heart breaking
Beautiful song, very relatable, can't wait to see them at slam dunk :)
so happy they're at SD!
To love someone still, whose loved you but not anymore, eats you alive.
its so nice that people write on youtube their storys. I was broken so long and listened this song. Now I listen that song after 3 years and I have new love and i love her so much. I hope that everyone finds their happiness. Dont give up guys and girls
Don't be afraid to walk away from some that doesn't love you for it better to be alone then made into a fool .
Love the sound of everything that they produce especially his voice.....his lyrics make him sound like a weenie
this is one of those songs you post on FB hoping that someone sees it and knows how you feel. they never do :(
Damn you gave me feels on that one.
Over three year relationship traded in for college and a new guy.
Thank you for reassuring me we'd work out after i was so scared, i put all my hope in you and you spit it right back in my face.
I hope this is what makes you happy, you've lost me for good.
seeing them play this live is magical. Especially with Dan Lambton's fro bouncing everywhere
2:09 “IVE GIVEN UP ON YOU!!!!!!” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸🎸
I used to be a scene pop punk kid. I miss those days, years and relationships later I look back and think about all the things I would have done better. 27, damn I'm getting old. take me back to 07!
He's the reason why I can't listen to those same songs I used to.
Finally took the time to fully listen to this band, holy shit. This is my life.
Vans Warped tour 2014, RF's played at ampitheatre stage in Mansfied, MA annd it was one of the best shows live I've ever seen. RF'S puts on an amazing show, much respect for these dudes
I found this band when I bought the warped tour 2014 album and heard loose ends. Touching, really....
I saw them play with neck deep and it was definitely the best show I've seen. They are just so good live
god this song brings back so many memories. i miss this era of real friends and dan so so much 🥺
I forgot how much I loved this song. The nostalgia is really hitting on this one
This song helped me so much. It helped me to get away from her. It made me realise she destroyed the best parts of me, it helped me going through the toughest time of my life. I listened to this thinking of her, I listened to this while I spent a night in the town where she lived, hoping she would pass in front of my window.
Maybe a broken heart can never mend. But songs like these are always there for you.
From the bottom of my soul, guys, THANK YOU.
The most wonderful thing about music is that it resignats with you and your mood. Every word that comes out of his mouth I feel a 1000 times over because its whats happening to me right now. Every single word. My dog is the only one I tell my problems to now. I used to have a best friend as a girlfriend but she split up. its hurts so much because she was the one I told every single thing to, and now I have no one to listen to me. I stay up all night thinking about her and hows she doing and if she ever does the same about me..
Sounds like Sonny Moore when he was in From First To Last.
Thats true!!
So true, the whole song reminds me of Emily.
It's been two years since me and my girl broke up. And after all that time and having other relationships, I can honestly say that after all this time, to this day she's the only one I truly love. Damn I would do anything to have her back again.
+Jol Abels "Life's too good to don't live it"; that shit needs to be on a t-shirt
+David McCleod omg I'm dieing😂😂😂😂
When you've been in love with your best friend for years, this song and Aware by Front Porch Step are good.
Me too
same here.
+Terezi Pyrope say something ya dummy
+Kienan I have, thanks for the encouragement though. She's got her heart set on other people, which I'm cool with. As long as she's happy, right?
+Terezi Pyrope I feel exactly like that for her too. But if she deserved my love then she would have recognized it.
Oh man, i didn't realize how much I missed you until I heard this..
this is one of those songs that make you think back to a particular time and a particular someone.. i still feel so much for him. i still think about him all the time. so fucking relatable.
I can relate to this song so much. The way it relates to me because of one of last relationships, for the majority of the relationship my significant other made me feel like the only person in the world. But then for the last month of the relationship, I just felt like the other person didn't really care about me or the relationship. They barely talk to me, I always had to initiate the conversation and now everything is different.
Exactly the way I feel, I was in the same situation! :/
I know how u feel
The relates.
It's the worst when you're with them and feel more alone than anything.
come back to Listening this painfull song 😢
Lyrics: You used to make me feel like I could walk on water
Now most nights I'm just sinking down
You're the reason why I can't listen to the same songs I used to
I write songs about you all the time
I bet I don't run through your mind
I've given up on you, but it still hurts to know you're not alone
Don't worry, I'll keep out of your life and stay awake at night
It's four AM and you're keeping me from closing these sleepy eyes
Does the thought of me keep you up at night?
Like the light on the ceiling of bedroom
Lately, my dog's the only one around that listens to my problems
It's been a lonely year
It's been a lonely year
It's been a lonely year
It's been a lonely year
I write songs about you all the time
I bet I don't run through your mind
I've given up on you, but it still hurts to know you're not alone
Don't worry, I'll keep out of your life and stay awake at night
With just my skin and bones
It hurts to know you're not alone
I've given up on you, and my skin, and my bones
Aww
I saw these guys live yesterday and I only knew this song by them. It was just one song but it makes me so emotional. I sang my heart out and knew every word by heart because of the amount of times I've spent listening to it when I felt it was the only thing that truly understood my problem. Cheesy, I know. But I'm serious. I love this song so much
THIS SONG IS AMAZING, I'VE MEMORIZED IT, I SING IT IN THE SHOWER AND I ALWAYS REWRITE THE LYRICS ON A SCRAP PIECE OF PAPER WHEN I'M BORED. ITS JUST SUCH A GOOOD SONG.
Man, this song gets to me everytime. Every girl that's dumped me, every time I've been left out by people I thought were my friends, so much of this resonates with me.. Love this band.
last time I listened this was in 2020 after a tough fucking breakup. life has changed so much since then but damn this song still hits like a mf
At the end! you guys are real friends ❤❤
most relevant song to my life
instead of one year, make it three, then it hits home.
this song explains everything.
It's funny that the sorts of comments I'm reading, I would've written myself a few years back. But it does get better I promise. 18 years old and extremely happy. If anyone ever needs anyone to talk to, I've been through a shit-tone, so I'm happy to help anyone come out the other side x
she's not worth it friends. but shes's still a part of your life. stay strong.
Currently sitting in my room sobbing.. Thank you Real Friends
this song reminds me of my ex. I turned down my top three schools in LA (dream place) to stay for her because she didnt want to leave home and i ended up going to a junior college. A month into college she dumped me. Two days later i hear shes talking to someone else. Two weeks later theyre dating, two months later she moves to LA with him. Now shes living my dream while im stuck in this shit hole
Fuck man. Thats brutal. Lesson learned I hope... I'm so sorry to hear though.
you'll get your chance, don't give up. you'll make it out, I promise. hope you're doing good :)
Don't let bitches control your destiny lol, never mix education and relationships
Fick man
Nathan Castro The feels bro. Chill bumps frfr
Dammit, why is this song so short. I'm having to hit the replay button to much. Someone needs to turn this into one of those 10 hour videos.
God I miss being loved. My life feels so empty when I'm alone. but fuck it.. I have friends. they're love may be different. but its love all the same.
what she said..but i got no friends.
I feel you, friend. It sucks to not be loved by someone.. But friends are good to have by your side through it all.
i miss having someone to wake up to.. and playing videogames with them for days.. spending all night on the phone making each other laugh. feeling like you can do anything with them by your side. I would kill to have that again. Id kill just to be someones everything again. but only if it will last forever this time.
***** You feel my exact pain.. I spent 2 years in a long distant relationship and it recently just ended.. I would kill for that feeling of love once again. Forever. Not just for a little while. That's just not me.
its funny how everyone looks past my comment..now you see exactly wtf I'm talking about.
there was a time when this song was sad. but now every line ACTUALLY is resembling my current feeling and i f*cking hate it.
This song is for the guy I really like but he's on some games thank you REAL FRIENDS!
I can't help but cry when I hear this. I have my own personal story just like everyone else. This song is beautiful and hits the feels right now.
I can't wait for the day I can say 'I've given up on him'
same here but its a her
+Kawaii Mitsos Fuck this is cute
actually 1 month has passed I think am fine now lul
SAY IT!!!
O mai
Real Friends just made me shed Real tears..
You're the reason why I can't listen to the same songs I used to.
"it's 4am and you're keeping me from closing these sleepy eyes"
*looks at time*
*says its **4:15**am*
me:*realizes why I've been up*
me:*is listening to this song*
me: "fuck."
Exactly my thought right now /:
lol its 3:50am but I'm going to replay it until 4 and cry myself to sleep.. again
Cassidy Alexandria fuck your right I need to leave for work soon
I have just found this song and it describes my situation right down to the dog...
This song makes me miss what almost was.
All the best Dan, thanks for the gr8 tunes growing up x
I didn't know who they was until I got one of their shirts so I decided to look them up to night and, I LOVE THEM!
I was looking at my past projects. Projects that I worked on for my beloved exs in the past. Songs, poems and letters. Now I realize my exs were just a preparation to get me ready to meet my future soul - mater I haven't met yet. And this song just came on. And I broke down in tears to this song. Again.....
If anyone needs someone to talk to or vent to, reply to this. I will try to help as many as I can. I'm here for you.
irealized iwas in love with someone months after I broke up with them. its been like 2 & a half years since we spoke & I haven't seen anyone since then. I keep in contact with his brother but I'm too afraid to even try & ask how he's doing. I wish he could just hear me out so we can be cool again, it sucks. I'm such a self conscious wuss. & I feel like I'll never move on if there's any type of closure. he just totally dissapeared. I just hope he knows I still care. & even if he has a girlfriend I'd still want to be there for him. I don't him to shut me out forever..whew, never really admitted that.
100Proof Halfpint It's difficult, I can only imagine. That's how my ex currently is. She broke up with me four times in our relationship, each time getting back with me within a day or so because she said she loved me and was confused. The fourth time was final and she ended up dating some other guy. 6 months later, they break up and she says she still misses me and wants me back so badly and it's been very confusing and stressful. I know she's not doing it intentionally but it's toying with my emotions. Luckily I have a girlfriend now, of over a year, and I'm very happy with her. My ex still comes to mind though sometimes and it eats away at me. We haven't talked in so long. I know how you feel for the most part, so believe me when I say it gets easier. It might hurt right now, but you can eventually move on. For some people, it takes weeks, others, years. You just have to try and away stay positive. Think about your future and start planning it out. It doesn't matter what age you are, you'll always have a future. Think about where you want to go and what you want to do and what you want to see, regardless of who will be there with you. A second thing you could do is to just talk to the guy. You never know what can happen. Sometimes talking to that person and telling them how you feel can really clear everything up, and whether you get back together or not, at least it's off your chest. I say try to talk to that person again, and maybe you can at least be friends. If that doesn't work out, remember that you've always got a future no matter who comes and goes. Stay strong, okay? I hope I helped, and I'm glad you could vent. :)
Dominic Darrell yeah that's, true. & sorry to hear that but at least you past the breaking point of wanting to move on :) that's a huge step. its weird because when I'm in crowded places itry to look out for him like I'm going to run into him, even though I temporarily moved out of state. he's just cramped in my mind at random moments. but yeah, I guess I'll try asking his brother about him first? that's the only way ican really get ahold of him. I've been avoiding that attempt for months, but its time that I get it over with for my own good. its just the worst feeling ever haha.
Hey man, I once had a best friend during the summer. We were literally the best of friends, we would go to the park and text all day and even call. She was a girl and I had a girlfriend at the time. My girlfriend broke up with me because she had supposedly seen screenshots of our convos and thought I was cheating on her when I wasn't. I had asked my best friend if she sent the screenshots but she said no. I gave up on having relationships and decided to stick by my one and only friend. I had sworn to protect her and I really loved this girl with all my heart. Then when school starts things change. She starts to avoid me and calls me annoying and tells me to go away. Yet this one time we were ice skating and I held her hand since she didn't know how to skate, and she had lost her phone and was crying, I was literally there hugging her and telling her things would get better trying to cheer her up. But whenever it came to my problems she would say she didn't care and would go on about all things involving her. I thought it wasn't a big deal until I eventually got tired of it. I stopped talking to her and ignored her whenever she tried to talk to me. Today she said she wanted to talk to me but I had said I didn't want to. She asked me many times why and I just said "reasons" because I didn't want to upset her. She started crying and I just walked away. I feel really guilty and I don't know what to do. As much as I don't want to talk to her, deep down in my heart I still feel like I love her. I never wanted to see her cry because of me, but I'm just stuck man, I'm just stuck..
Power Hour Remember that you are the most important person in your life. If she is treating you poorly, it may be because she knows how you feel. However, maybe it's the opposite and she actually doesn't know how mean she's being to you. Talk to her about it and let her know how it's making you feel, as it's only fair to the both of you. She could be manipulating you, oblivious to how you feel, or going through a bad time. Narrow it down and find out what caused this change. Communication is the human race's strongest asset, so try to use it. Talk to her and really try to fix the problem. It's not easy and you may not want to, but ignoring it only creates more and more distance between you two, and you will eventually lose contact. If she isn't a positive influence in your life, you have every moral right to cut her out of your life, but I suggest trying to fix the negativity first. Love really really sucks, and leaves such a wicked scar on your heart. Over time, they will fade. Some might stay forever, and that's okay. Use your experiences in life, both good and bad, as a foundation to move on and get stronger. Good luck friend! Let me know how it fairs if you'd like!
This song in particular got me through a lot. Back in May my boyfriend committed suicide. He meant the world to me. There were so many things we did together, had plans to do together. We met in first grade, we were always best friends. He stood up for me against a bully during recess and so I kissed him. We were always there for each other, we talked for hours each night. He was seriously the one, I loved him more than life itself. One month before he passed he sent me a ring pop through the mail and also sent a letter asking me to marry him. We were so close! Thinking about him is tough but even though he's not here physically, he'll always be with me. There is not a single day that I do not think of him... He is my bestfriend, my world, and the love of my life. On May 9th, I got a letter from his grandparents including an invitation to his funeral and a copy of his suicide note. He wrote two pages to me apologizing for everything that he has ever done to hurt me, he was so guilty of everything he's done wrong. Reading through just tore my heart in half. I wish I could have been there to hold him, let him know he is not alone but I wasn't. Our last conversation was on April 6th and we had a fight. He had to move to Texas with his grandparents because of something that happened and I was having my own problems. I was rude to him, I yelled at him for no reason, I knew he was hurting. Sometimes I feel like it's my fault but I truthfully know it's not. He loved me and hopefully wherever he is, he still does. If giving up everything means seeing him again, being with him, holding him again... I would take it. Living without him has seemed impossible but I'm managing to get through it. But whatever happens in the end, we will be together again and he will be in my protection for good.
In loving memory of Brian Alexander White.
German Viola, even though this comment was four years ago i just wanted to say that me and my girlfriend have been suicidal for a bit and we are only living for each other. but we find ourselves so broken that we consider joint suicide, one day we were sitting in my room and in opened a bottle of pills and didn't say anything, i poured some in her hand then poured the rest in mine. i was so sad that i couldn't do it anymore so i gave up. she got up took the pills out of my hand and flushed them down the toilet, she was strong for me when i couldn't be. i will always remember that day because she picked me up from my worst and brought hope, and i want to do the same for her.
I will let one of the members know if u want to. He is my cousin
I lost the love of my life and I feel responsible as well. Thank you for sharing your story baby as it really helped me I havent been willing to share mine and reading about Brian and how much he matters to you is beautiful and I understand. Hope you're doing well now and much love
I’m so sorry. I really hope you’re doing okay after all these years. ❤️
Bless your heart man 🖤
lovely convolk
Hang on tight, boys. Gonna be a rough winter.
This is the song that got me through my break up with my best friend last year
You know what is the worst part is, actually pulling away and finally saying I’m done. Then you’re left numb for awhile not really letting it hit you, then it does... holy shit does it hurt knowing that you liked them more than they did you. Their face runs through your mind and you know that the action is not reciprocated. They’re fine while you’re here breaking, man I’m going through it now, heartbreak is terrible. It’s like yearning for something that you can’t have and it’s so fucking painful.
it's 3am but same feelings lol
love this!
its 3 a.m here
yeah it's been a lonely year :/
+Spices Music its been a lonely 5 years...
way too lonely…
i love when he says "your the reason i cant listen to the same songs i used to" because its so true if i hear the same music that i did when we were together i still start to break down as if we broke up over again
I haven't listened to Real Friends in maybe two years but I came across this song again and the most relatable time.
Everything hurts
I feel like this song should have just played for another full minute at 2:44 just the band jamming without vocals.
There was a teaser for this song a long time ago before the EP released and it was just an instrumental of this song. I want to hear this song's instrumental, possibly extended as well. This song is beautiful.
