I think people are taking the song too literally. I don't think he's demanding an answer as to why the person doesn't love him back because he thinks he's so fantastic and sees no reason why the other person wouldn't want him, rather he's questioning why he had to fall in love with someone who doesn't feel the same way about him.
Kind of like he's saying "I'm better than this, I'm smarter than this, how did I end up in such a sad situation?" I really like interpretation, actually
maybe this is just me but i can see this song coming from a kid to an absent father/mother... the whole abandonment and confusion and anger side of this song ..
You could still rework "We'll only be friends" to be something along the lines of "We'll only ever be friends, not parent and child, because you hardly act like a parent"
[Verse #1] I wrote you a letter Asked your best friend to send it But took to the sea before you could have read it Retreated to snowcapped waters of the unknown Extracted my heart while it was still beating But glowing and red And I swear that sweat would Envelop your arms if you broke down and held it [Chorus] I swear I'm a good man I swear I'm a good man So why don't you love me back? So why don't you love me back? [Verse #2] Instead of twisting up words you just sat there in silence In wind burnt homes sighing rays from a sunset And all I could hear was the sound of the wasp nest My head made a home for the hum of the insects But my hands shake and shudder at the mention Of half hearted reasons why we'll only be friends [Chorus] I swear I'm a good man I swear I'm a good man So why don't you love me back? So why don't you love me back? So why don't you love me back? So why don't you love me back? So why don't you love me back?
This is a very accurate song for Borderline Personality Disorder. The abandonment issues, the desperation, the raging screaming lines followed by the soft, almost apologetic ending? I think the meaning is less "abusive partner demands reciprocation" and more "I'm so lonely please love me I hate myself"

This song isn’t about hate or betrayal. It’s not being angry at someone for not loving them back- it’s about wondering why it hurts so much that they don’t like them too. I know the feeling.
While im a believer in 'people just arent attracted to others' and such, i can still completley understand this song. Especially with social anxiety its more of a 'they just lie and hang out with me to be nice' thing. These people seem great but then my twisted mind thinks 'nah they hate you' so i end up leaving them not wanting to bother them. Which ends up in me thinking they never liked me because they often just forget to contact you. Especially when you turn off notifications and find messages from a year ago and then decide they probably forgot you existed which leads you to believe they hate you again. Its a vicious cycle.
I go through the same thing, except that every fiber of my being tells me that it's true and not my anxiety acting up. The only person that really talks to me is my boyfriend. I honestly believe that most people just pity me since there's no way for a person to like someone like me. The only person that I know that actually likes me is my boyfriend. Everyone else seems to really dislike me, at least that's what goes on in my head. [edit] GUESS WHO HAS FRIENDS THAT GENUINELY LOVE AND SUPPORT ME WE MADE IT BOYS THERE IS HOPE FOR EVERYONE
Ugh, god I relate to this too much. Just add a layer of "You're clearly the one ruining everything. So, you have to figure out where you're going wrong." to the mix. While the rational part of my head knows that not everyone's going to like me or want to be friends and that it's okay that they don't, the irrational part doesn't seem to agree. And it's tiring to constantly feel like I'm never good enough to warrant friendship (not even love. At this point, I'm so worn down that the thought of being in that kind of relationship feels impossible.) But, because I'm on edge and worried I'll turn people away, I end up coming across as fake which, ironically, turns people away. Though now I'm so used to doing this that it's so hard to try and calm down.
Omg, I completely feel you. It's like the feeling where you don't know whether it's just anxiety and you have friends or if they actually hate you, and then you cut yourself off from everyone, and the only friend you trust and still talk to happens to be the person that you love but they don't love you back there's no winning
"people aren't attracted to each other" are you sure you aren't asexual? It's weird I know but it turns out people actually do feel attraction. I figured everyone was faking it for pretty much all my life. Like really you sure people dancing and wiggling around is attractive? Turns out yes. Wiggling is attractive. Yeah I don't get it either.
My cat just passed away this morning. This song is helping me grieve. His sadness is my sadness. Even if it’s about an entirely different reason- it feels like my pain has a form. Rest In Peace Juniper. 🤍
Hey i get it. Im sorry for your lose. I wish there were more ways to cope with stuff like that. R.i.p Juniper. I bet they're watching you and following you every step of the way. Its going to be alright. It wont hurt forever. Just keep fighting. Stay strong
A few months ago my beloved bird passed due to irresponsible breeding. Juniper and Pickles(bird) will be at peace. Rip to your cat and my two birds. So in a bundle, rip: Juniper, Scrambles, And Pickles.❤️
This is a pointless comment, but it's kinda funny, Juniper is the name of the cat in a story I'm writing that's supposed to resemble the person I fell In love with who doesn't love me back
This is absolutely one of those intimately self-indulgent songs that are so hard to explain to someone else if they haven't been there. Vent a feeling you know you aren't even allowed to feel and nurse your wounds to songs like this or just empathize from a better place. I am well acquainted with this feeling and its okay, healthy and normal to feel it, but I just want to remind anyone reading this that in reality it can ONLY be solved by walking away, letting it go and living a better life. All you can control is yourself and your reaction to things. Anyone wishing harm on someone that was their unrequited love (platonic or otherwise)- never let yourself become the bad guy. You have to do better. Your best revenge will always be living well.

Honestly, such a beautiful song. I first heard it from a Warrior cats MAP, but I immediately loved it. There's so much emotion, and I must say, it's gotten me through some hard challenges iv'e had to face over the past few years. So 07, for making this masterpiece
Vocal fry scream, you can do it without hurting yourself quite easily if you learn the right technique! Girls can do it just like guys can. The vocalist from Pupil Slicer is a good example.
this song just, fits losing literally anyone super close to you, platonic or romantic or family it really doesn't matter but Jesus christ does the " SO WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME BACK " hit hard (edit: it also fits if you were supposed to have a missing figure in your life, like a father figure or mother figure or positive male figure)
The desperation. I don't know why they don't love you back, but loving yourself first is a start. I have abandonment trauma and struggle with this even in a stable relationship. I have moments where I feel unloved for seemingly no reason. Something as simple as him not responding to me saying I love you. And it all goes back to childhood Had to do some shadow work, inner child work, but even after that I still struggle with this cold sweat kind of fear that holds me like a vice Everytime I feel ignored or isolated. Because for me being alone or unloved is like facing starvation. Worse actually. Because if I feel a certain way I have just not eaten. But he is there for me and tries to understand. And now I'm getting better. But Ive kinda accepted myself. I'm about to rationalize alot of what I feel. But I think I will always be like this. If not exactly then I think I will always long for companionship
Mmmmm the emotion in this song is everything honestly I care more about the emotions in vocals then how good or on tune it sounds and this is great for that
This is BY FAR the best song to cry to. I got rejected before I could even confess and I felt like I had just lost so much progress from trying to open up to people more. I cried so much that day.

There’s like 2 definitions to the song: 1) why don’t you love me back = why do you not love me back 2) why don’t you love me back = why don’t you choose me Idk
I personally LOVE this song because love can be stressful if the other person is being a complete dummy, and ive been there. The anger, frustration, rage… vulnerability, desperation, loneliness. It’s all expressed in this song.
God...why did he use me? I spent so long wondering why he wouldn’t love me just as much as I loved him. I spent so much time getting him to say those 3 words. It’s all over...he left me for another person. I still have no answer on why he didn’t just love me. I’m just left with questions. I get no answers. He did so many things to keep me hooked to him and he knew what he was doing.
@@laughinglittenproductions7913 no, I’m just coming to terms with the fact he’s a dangerous person and that I was taken advantage of because he knew I was in a vulnerable state of my life because of my age at the time.
@@lizcreatesthings5342 well your making progress! your recognizing that it wasn't a healthy relationship. it's a start. it'll get better over time, trust me. i may be a stranger, but you can talk to me if you'd like :)
I hope you’re doing well now. and for you to remember that wasn’t your fault. there’s no grand reason anyone like that does these things. it’s simply because they can.
I'm going from song to song because I'm sad and missing her now. I just want you to be happy and love yourself. I just hope your life smooths out. I'm sorry for everything I couldn't do. I'll miss you for a long time from now. It's only been two months and I know they'll be more months of sadness and missing you. I miss texting you good morning and I'll never forget my goodnight kisses. That year with you was one of the happiest of my life so far. I know it's not the same anymore, but I love you Natalie. You'll never read this and I'll forget this comment with time, but I just want to leave a history of us somewhere in the world. Goodnight Coconat, from Cruzzo.
Two simpy cats who like other cats who don’t love them and a little cat with a crooked jaw whos mom doesn’t love him. Did I mention the ash one dies and possesses another cat who was his waifu cats abusive boyfriend and now he’s trapping everyone in cat hell
really cool idea. that's not how ive ever interpreted it but now that you say it i can hear why. that's one of my favorite things about the internet - hearing different perspectives about things you never saw another side to. when you make it let me know.
I’m not sure what it is, but this song reminds me of Hitler and Rohm’s relationship. Ernst Rohm was an openly gay man in the 1930s at the time of WWII. Ernst was Adolf Hitler’s best friend all the way up through the ranks of the N@zi party. Rohm felt things for him he knew he wouldn’t support, hence the line “why don’t you love me back?” As Rohm grew in power, he started controlling the propaganda and had his own army, becoming Hitler’s Second-In-Command. Hitler feared he would abuse his power and manipulate him. Hitler, of course caring about Germany more than himself and his friends and family, wanted to “protect” his nation. During this time, Rohm had grown increasingly dissatisfied with Hitler’s leadership and the direction the party. Hitler also thought that Rohm’s homosexuality would sully Germany’s reputation. (Germany already had a bad reputation due to the Holocaust.) Rohm and Hitler had gone from *very* close to enemies, to the point Rohm was vocally criticizing Hitler. Even when criticizing the dictator, Rohm still loved him and felt completely guilty and crushed by it. Thus ending in the breakdown of their relationship. On the Night of the Long Knives in June 1934, Hitler ordered Rohm’s execution. It is said Ernst was screaming and crying at Adolf, telling him to say “I love you” back, only to be responded with silence and a cold, expressionless stare from Hitler. Hitler whispered something in his general’s ear, and the N@zi officers surrounded Rohm with their guns aimed. *“If I am to be killed, let Adolf do it himself.”* - Ernst Rohm, right before he was shot.
My friend tried to do suicide and i tried my best to stop her after , she texted me that she didnt ever liked me and that she dont care about me even though i suffered for her (don't ask please). I liked her and she just left me like that :(. In pain. Suffering. Shivering. Sad. In rage. So this song perfectly fits my emotions now. It broke me. I cared so much. Ive tried so much. This makes me feel less anxious. This makes me feel like im not alone :)
Ik im late but i feel like this song means that someone is in love with this other person but a family member, friend or other does not accept this. So the singer is wondering why dont you love me back just bc i like this other person.
I think people are taking the song too literally. I don't think he's demanding an answer as to why the person doesn't love him back because he thinks he's so fantastic and sees no reason why the other person wouldn't want him, rather he's questioning why he had to fall in love with someone who doesn't feel the same way about him.
This 100%^^
Kind of like he's saying "I'm better than this, I'm smarter than this, how did I end up in such a sad situation?"
I really like interpretation, actually
I feel he is caving in on himself, like he betrayed himself almost, asking for a friend here
yeah
I think it's mingled with both
This feels like abondement issues. The anger, confusion, begging, selfishness. I feel every bit.

I wrote you a letter
Asked your best friend to send it
But took to the sea before you could have read it
Retreated to snowcapped waters of the unknown

But glowing and red
And I swear that sweat would
Envelop your arms if you broke down and held it

I swear I'm a good man
I swear I'm a good man
So why don't you love me back?
So why don't you love me back?

Instead of twisting up words you just sat there in silence
In wind burnt homes sighing rays from a sunset
And all I could hear was the sound of the wasp nest
My head made a home for the hum of the insects

Of half hearted reasons why we'll only be friends

Instead of twisting up words you just sat there in silence
In wind burnt homes sighing rays from a sunset
And all I could hear was the sound of the wasp nest
My head made a home for the hum of the insects
But my hands shake and shudder at the mention
Of half hearted reasons why we'll only be friends
I swear I'm a good man
I swear I'm a good man
So why don't you love me back?
So why don't you love me back?
So why don't you love me back?
So why don't you love me back?
So why don't you love me back?
So why don't you love me back?
Why do I give my all to someone when they don’t even try?
Like my dad said sometimes your best is your failure
why a whole bunch of songs like that, which you really want to listen on repeat for ages, go unheeded? what's wrong with this damn world?
this band got me through so much heart ache.. ❤️
I same them December 2013 in a basement in Milwaukee, WI. Never heard of them before then, blew me away.
2:49 best part
I’m in love with this song
this song helped me release some feelings deep inside. like i really needed a dude to scream his heart out about things i relate to. thank you foxing
song for every nice guy
Then this would be my anthem nonstop
honestly, This song is too good for them.
If you really think people don't want you because you're a "nice guy" then you are dead wrong.
Huh.
There’s like 2 definitions to the song:
1) why don’t you love me back = why do you not love me back
2) why don’t you love me back = why don’t you choose me
Idk
Thhis song has changed m y life so much
Beautiful song ♡
my ex showed me this song and the medic and i just re-found all their music. so happy
1:18 This whole part gives me chills and it hits real hard ;-;
it reminds me of a song by the antlers, i like it
Ooo, which one?? I love this song and I’ve also been getting into The Antlers
@@luigiepic it reminds me of a few of the songs on hospice!! the antlers are an incredible band and their music is heartbreaking but so so good-
@@mkarlynn3ohhh I can see what you mean! Hospice is actually what got me into them :)
This song is so underrated. It’s so relatable and has been one of my favorites the past few years
Here from that Ashfur MAP? Yea, same though
How'd you know!?
Yes
Ashfur boi
Can't wait for it to be finished
Y e s
Love is a fantasy, and anyone who invalidates his feelings are not allowing him to be expressive in his.
I personally LOVE this song because love can be stressful if the other person is being a complete dummy, and ive been there. The anger, frustration, rage… vulnerability, desperation, loneliness. It’s all expressed in this song.
Adora & Catra.
Yep, I mean not now but seasons 1-4 yeah.
YESSS
Unknow IM GONNA KICK YOUR ASS S T O P THAT’S PAINFUL
Ouch. I am re-watching that series again and yeah, Catra has some issues. Poor thing just wanted to be loved. So glad they got their happy ending.
I love how the older comments are like “wow this is so meaningful Alexa play despacito” and the younger ones say “lol bye ashfur”
God...why did he use me? I spent so long wondering why he wouldn’t love me just as much as I loved him. I spent so much time getting him to say those 3 words. It’s all over...he left me for another person. I still have no answer on why he didn’t just love me. I’m just left with questions. I get no answers. He did so many things to keep me hooked to him and he knew what he was doing.
u ok?
@@laughinglittenproductions7913 no, I’m just coming to terms with the fact he’s a dangerous person and that I was taken advantage of because he knew I was in a vulnerable state of my life because of my age at the time.
@@lizcreatesthings5342 well your making progress! your recognizing that it wasn't a healthy relationship. it's a start. it'll get better over time, trust me. i may be a stranger, but you can talk to me if you'd like :)
Hope your doing better friend
I hope you’re doing well now. and for you to remember that wasn’t your fault. there’s no grand reason anyone like that does these things. it’s simply because they can.
This is a pretty nice vocals
I'm here cause of the map.
It turned out brilliant.
True
I'm going from song to song because I'm sad and missing her now. I just want you to be happy and love yourself. I just hope your life smooths out. I'm sorry for everything I couldn't do. I'll miss you for a long time from now. It's only been two months and I know they'll be more months of sadness and missing you. I miss texting you good morning and I'll never forget my goodnight kisses. That year with you was one of the happiest of my life so far. I know it's not the same anymore, but I love you Natalie. You'll never read this and I'll forget this comment with time, but I just want to leave a history of us somewhere in the world. Goodnight Coconat, from Cruzzo.
you'll be alright.. just know that.
You'll be okay in due time. I know that feeling all too well. It's okay soldier.♡
it's MY mental breakdown i choose the music
Me: wow! This chicken recipe was actually pretty good🥺🥰
My headphones:
The ones that came from the Warriors MAP shout, “Ashfur”!
I love how at 2:16 he sounds like Plankon
You sir, are a true peer worthy of being looked up to.
"But my hands shake and shudder at the mention

What the fuck is a bumblestripe
THIS COMMENT IS NEEDLESSLY HILARIOUS
LMFAO
I HAVE GAINED NOTHING BUT NEW QUESTIONS
@@marraiahh SIMPLE ANSWER they’re characters from the book series Warrior Cats
Two simpy cats who like other cats who don’t love them and a little cat with a crooked jaw whos mom doesn’t love him. Did I mention the ash one dies and possesses another cat who was his waifu cats abusive boyfriend and now he’s trapping everyone in cat hell
Heartbreak
I’m imagining my oc trying to understand why his father doesn’t love him to song. Mmm I’ve gotta learn how to animate.
really cool idea. that's not how ive ever interpreted it but now that you say it i can hear why.
that's one of my favorite things about the internet - hearing different perspectives about things you never saw another side to.
when you make it let me know.
I always imagine my OC's in my head with different songs... I need to learn to animate too
I’m not sure what it is, but this song reminds me of Hitler and Rohm’s relationship.
Ernst Rohm was an openly gay man in the 1930s at the time of WWII. Ernst was Adolf Hitler’s best friend all the way up through the ranks of the N@zi party. Rohm felt things for him he knew he wouldn’t support, hence the line “why don’t you love me back?” As Rohm grew in power, he started controlling the propaganda and had his own army, becoming Hitler’s Second-In-Command. Hitler feared he would abuse his power and manipulate him. Hitler, of course caring about Germany more than himself and his friends and family, wanted to “protect” his nation. During this time, Rohm had grown increasingly dissatisfied with Hitler’s leadership and the direction the party. Hitler also thought that Rohm’s homosexuality would sully Germany’s reputation. (Germany already had a bad reputation due to the Holocaust.) Rohm and Hitler had gone from *very* close to enemies, to the point Rohm was vocally criticizing Hitler. Even when criticizing the dictator, Rohm still loved him and felt completely guilty and crushed by it. Thus ending in the breakdown of their relationship.
On the Night of the Long Knives in June 1934, Hitler ordered Rohm’s execution. It is said Ernst was screaming and crying at Adolf, telling him to say “I love you” back, only to be responded with silence and a cold, expressionless stare from Hitler. Hitler whispered something in his general’s ear, and the N@zi officers surrounded Rohm with their guns aimed.
*“If I am to be killed, let Adolf do it himself.”* - Ernst Rohm, right before he was shot.
That’s such an interesting story, I had no idea! Thank you for sharing that.
don't mind me I'm just making this for myself 1:18
song called i am in Great Pain, Please Help Me by crywank is what this reminds me of
This song makes me think of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and that's weird, but it does!
Omg ur brain is so big
My friend tried to do suicide and i tried my best to stop her after , she texted me that she didnt ever liked me and that she dont care about me even though i suffered for her (don't ask please). I liked her and she just left me like that :(. In pain. Suffering. Shivering. Sad. In rage. So this song perfectly fits my emotions now. It broke me. I cared so much. Ive tried so much. This makes me feel less anxious. This makes me feel like im not alone :)
i hope your doing okay now.
@@meekoozo thank you.
Who hurt this man
It's you vs the world they say
💕💕💕
Ok, I really need to learn, how to draw-
1:02

Hey... my name is Rory! 😃

@@lunehowls Raiden Shogun???
Ik im late but i feel like this song means that someone is in love with this other person but a family member, friend or other does not accept this. So the singer is wondering why dont you love me back just bc i like this other person.
You know TH-cam algorithm
Not bad
Admit it, you are a part of the WC fandom.
When your friend tell you this song is for ponk and Sam so you listen and now your gonna cry
2:28 is the peak of the song
