    Written Lyrics:
    I know I may be lean
    Uncomfortable being seen
    But I feel like I'm just what you need
    Although my body's thin
    I don't let anyone in
    But I can't help but let this begin
    And though I may seem cold
    And I feel i'm growing old
    I wish that you would just come home
    Cause I'm tired of feeling alone
    Please tell me how to let go
    Love, I know you're doing fine
    Your chapters end so well
    And love, I love your welling eyes
    You seem happy, I can tell
    Love, I know you'll be alright
    But I can't help but feel sorry
    Cause love, your book will end just fine
    But I am a different story
    I am a different story
    I know I am a mess, and I love most people less
    But I miss the feel of your summer dress
    And this all may be weird
    I can feel you are not near
    But please baby, just come back here
    Please baby, just come back here
    Love, I know you'll be alright
    Your chapters end so well
    Love, I love your welling eyes
    You're happy I can tell
    Love, I know you're doing fine
    But I can't help but feel sorry
    Cause love, your tale will end just fine
    But mine is a different story
    Mine is a different story

    I see myself in him, Keaton will always be one of my favourite artists. The lyrics are so raw, and almost painful to hear. I can’t express how much I adore his music/poetry.

    I feel like this song was written about me. Especially the lines,
    "Uncomfortable being seen...
    I don't let anyone in...
    And although I may seem cold...
    Cause I'm tired of being alone...
    I know I'm a mess, and I love most people less..."
    I swear Keaton had me in mind when he wrote this song.

      resonantmuscaria Not at all. Though, I find it really ironic that you happen to be "judging a book by it's cover" (per se) on a song about just that.
      My original comment was just reflecting on how much I *relate* to the song, not in the literal sense that it was actually written for me.
      I don't understand why there always has to be one negative person in the bunch that feels the need to rain on everyone else's parade.

      Ikr, he's the only person in the world who i can feel like it's my idol, i want to talk to him so much, or maybe just drink some coffee and since both of us don't like that much to talk, just stare at the sky, i thought about writing him a letter, just to let him know that he's more than enough, in the future, when i feel like i deserve to meet him, i will, i just wish both of us will be alive until there

    I’ve always adored this song. But yesterday, the boy I love decided he no longer wanted me and left me unapologetically. Right now I am led here crying, unable to eat or merely function. He promised me so much and made me so happy. I gave him everything I could and I still wasn’t enough. This song hits me even harder than before now.

      Livi I know how you feel. I know exactly how you feel. I was absolutely blindsided by a girl who I still consider the love of my life when she walked out on me one night and never came back. I couldn't stop telling myself it was my fault and I attempted multiple times to end my life. Therapy didn't work for me, nor did any medication...nothing seemed worth it. Over the last few months though, since I've been off my meds, things are starting to look up for me. I'm seeing more positive sides of my life I never realized existed, and making new friends who help me bring out what I believe is the best in myself. The depression is still ever-present and I doubt it will ever really go away, but I realized it's more about coping than it is about abolishing. All i can say is start living one day at a time. It helps trying to make your *right now* as enjoyable as possible. Oh and try uprooting yourself and moving, like to an entirely different place(I moved from Houston to El Paso) as it can help make you feel like you're turning a new page. Who knows, maybe you will? Who knows why I wrote this comment? Not me. I just hate seeing people who are worthy of love get crushed because I've been there and it fucking sucks. You *are* enough.

    Wiem, że może jestem chudy
    Nieswojo się na mnie patrzy
    Ale wydaje mi się, że jestem tym, kogo potrzebujesz
    Chociaż moje ciało jest szczupłe
    Nie wpuszczam do niego nikogo
    Ale nic nie poradzę, pozwolę, by to się zaczęło
    I pomimo, że może wydaję się zimny
    I czuję, że się starzeję
    Chciałbym, byś po prostu wróciła do domu
    Ponieważ jestem zmęczony poczuciem samotności
    Powiedz mi, jak mogę odpuścić
    Kochanie, wiem, że radzisz sobie dobrze
    Rozdziały twojej książki kończą się dobrze
    I, kochanie, uwielbiam twoje wyłaniające się oczy
    Wydajesz się szczęśliwa, mogę to powiedzieć
    Kochanie, wiem, że będzie w porządku
    Ale nie mogę przestać czuć żalu
    Ponieważ, kochanie, twoja książka skończy się dobrze
    Ale ja jestem inną historią
    Jestem inną historią
    Wiem, że jestem chaosem i kocham mniej większość ludzi
    Ale tęsknię za dotykiem twojej letniej sukienki
    I to wszystko może wydawać się dziwne
    Mogę powiedzieć, że nie jesteś blisko
    Ale, kochanie, proszę, wróć
    Proszę, kochanie, po prostu wróć
    Kochanie, wiem, że radzisz sobie dobrze
    Rozdziały twojej książki kończą się dobrze
    I, kochanie, uwielbiam twoje wyłaniające się oczy
    Wydajesz się szczęśliwa, mogę to powiedzieć
    Kochanie, wiem, że będzie w porządku
    Ale nie mogę przestać czuć żalu
    Ponieważ, kochanie, twoja bajka skończy się dobrze
    Ale moja jest inną historią
    Jest inną historią

    I feel like this is exactly what I would write and record to send to my best friend/partner before deciding to end my sicknesses and take my own life. I’d write a lot of songs for him if I actually had any musical talent but I don’t think I could have described the feeling better than this song right here, it kinda describes my life perfectly. I love this man and his songs so much I’m crying

      @@SethaNolic Nah, not *really* . I mean, I'm back here, aren't I? Kinda hard to get over someone who abandoned you. Lately I've been doing better though...no longer suicidal. Everything I did for nearly a year I just kept asking myself "is this something she'd have liked?" "Would she be proud of me?" I had several rebounds who I didn't know were rebounds till I realized I was comparing them all to her. I've been attempting to distance myself from her memory recently though and my new friends and a major change of scenery are helping with that. I was still living in the apartment we shared for 3 years and a lot of the problem was because of that. One day at a time, man. The pain never really goes away, it's a matter of finding the right way to cope. I know you didn't ask for my life story but hey, whatever.

    People always want me to be something I'm not. Like the other day, me and my Grandma were shopping, she told me to dress differently because the clothes I was wearing "wasn't what she liked". Then she made fun of the way I have my hair. She said, "Your hair looks awful. Put it up better." Then she got mad because I didn't know what size in pants I was and because I didn't know what a type of sandwich was called at Subway. Then my grandpa wants to get on me for having my phone out while I was messaging my mom and dad. What the heck? Let me live my life. This comment was about the line " But I'm just a different story" Sorry if this made no sense to the line but I really think it fits what I was going through right there.
