    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 4am 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
    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

      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.

    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.

Too which I said How the fuck can you make a pumpkin sexy. And I wanted to use it as my name on snapchat, but it was taken, so I just added the best number.

    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 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.

    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

    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..

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.

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.

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.

    • @DominicDarrell
      @DominicDarrell Před 9 lety +28

      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.

    • @powerhourboy123

      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..

    • @DominicDarrell
      @DominicDarrell Před 9 lety +4

      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!
