Fans worldwide fell head over heels for Ben Platt during his Tony® Award-winning turn in the title role of Dear Evan Hansen and on-screen in films such as the Pitch Perfect franchise. As the vocalist, actor, and performer sang life into a host of nuanced and fascinating characters, audiences embraced his voice wholeheartedly. By dusting off the piano, picking up a pen, and singing his own truth straight from the heart, he shared another side of himself as a solo artist.
Ben achieved superstar status as Evan Hansen in Dear Evan Hansen, originating the lead role. The New York Times lauded him as a “breakout star,” and he went on to receive the 2017 Tony® Award for “Best Actor in a Musical.” Other honors included “Best Musical Theater Album” at the 2018 GRAMMY® Awards for the Original Broadway Cast Recording of Dear Evan Hansen, “Outstanding Musical Performance in a Daytime Program” at the Daytime EMMY® Awards for a cast performance of “You Will Be Found” on The Today Show, and more. Not to mention, he joined forces with Hamilton mastermind Lin-Manuel Miranda to craft a mash-up of “The Story of Tonight” and “You Will Be Found,” benefiting the “March for Our Lives” anti-gun violence movement.
Signed to Atlantic Records by Chairman and C.E.O. Craig Kallman and President of A&R Pete Ganbarg, he explored his formative influences, ranging from timeless singer-songwriters such as Joni Mitchell and Carole King to legendary crooners like Donny Hathaway, Ray Charles, and Stevie Wonder. As a result, the music delivers confessional lyricism by way of soulful intimacy as part of one cohesive narrative on his 2019 full-length debut, Sing To Me Instead. The 12-track album, which was primarily produced by Jenn Decilveo, chronicles the highs and lows of a transformative relationship. Showcasing his story, Ben penned several songs solo and co-wrote the remainder of material alongside the likes of Ben Abraham, Eg White, Nate Cyphert, Michael Pollack, and more.

this captures the innocence of longing for a genuine connection with somebody, but it just not being there. sometimes sparks aren’t meant to fly and that’s the only reason why. it takes time to heal and let go. this is absolutely gorgeous.
Hi guys , I released my first song " Clinical Report " on my channel : czcams.com/video/ap1a1lvRrb4/video.html
Hope you like it !!
True! Loved your words 💗
Agreed, beautifully written song and I like the structure of the music is simple, but the music video is a bit bizarrely produced. Loads of opportunities to show complex emotions in the acting (esp Ben being a great actor) ... one person being head over heels, whilst all you can think about is how to not hurt this person you respect who deserves someone to feel as strongly for them. Instead, it looked like baby Josh Groban had a stomach ache that was annoying him a lot, sometimes whilst in a barn. Anyway, sure it'll be great in person as a simple piano ballad. [internally LOL'ing at me leaving my first CZcams comment]
Great comment
Couldn’t have said it better, you’re exactly right. :)
My partner and I Broke up because he felt this way about me. This song helped me heal in a situation I couldn’t change. Thanks Ben
Same.
Me too
The Book of Truth
When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
"The time for the schism in the Church is almost here and you must get prepared now"
It’s his problem. Not yours. Dont blame yourself for someone’s lack of commitment. I wish you the best on your next.
Yeah
How can one song make me feel nostalgic, heartbroken, free, and like I NEED TO DANCE ALL AT ONCE??!! That is the magic of Ben Platt
A highly emotional song, about not having the right emotions for someone…….. upbeat power ballad yet melancholy at the same time….. this is high level stuff
Never can really such a good song like this one
Exactly! So good song!
Let me just erase my comment and say, "Amen!"
You said that perfectly! I 100% agree!
I love the 80s vibes. If this song was released in the 80s, it will be one of those songs that are timeless masterpiece what we will always listen to. Thank you Ben!
I agree!!! This should be played on the radio 😭
How good it have happened now. We are lucky to have him when the 80s has passed.
I’ll never forget this song until I’m dead
so true. hoping there will be released more songs with this vibe
So true !! There is a "eternal flame" and a "turn around" strong vibe !!!
our boi went from begging someone to stay in Grow As We Go to dumping someone with I wanna love you but I don't, we stan versatility !! hahaha
Ikr haha
Also with "Ease my mind" and now "Leave my mind" WHAT A PLOTWIST
I heard that Grow As We Go isn't from his perspective. It's from the person he's breaking with. So in both of these songs, he's dumping them 😅🙏
@@anasfountainpen oh you know what i think that was probably intentional...sing to me instead seemed mostly love songs and now reverie seems mostly breakup songs, so it opposites and probably that song was meant to be the opposite for ease my mind, and the names sound very similar
@@birb6474 you're totally right, that was my first thought when I saw the tracklist, it's all breakup songs now
My fav lines: It sucks that ou’re perfect ‘cause you’re not perfect for me; I know somebody out there to love you just as you are
🙋♀️🙋♀️

if Adele sang this, it'd have billions of views.. this kid is sooooo underated... this song is soo good and deserves way more recognition..
SO TRUE. I’ve never even heard of this guy until today...how is that possible? So good!!!!!
Agree!!
Ben is one of the best singers you can dream about. I saw him in Dear Evan Hansen. You will find him singing the same songs on CZcams, just better.
@@foxopossumsame i never heard him until this song and love it
I would so go to your concert Ben.
I’m engaged and I found this song and realized this is how I feel about my fiancé but have been suppressing it… this song is slowly giving me the strength to walk away from my fiancé. It’s selfish to stay in a relationship knowing you aren’t your partners best.
Agreed! Good luck :)
Whoah. What happened?
I am in this situation right now .
Walk away be true to you!!!
Do it while you're still not married. I made the mistake of waiting until we got married hoping my feelings would change but it didn't. Separating would have been a lot easier if only I had the strength to face my true feelings early on
It sucks to meet someone so kind and perfect, but you know you're just not right for each other.
That you love as a person but just not in that way 😞
The heart wants what it wants
@joengsatzu When in times you think it's the time, but time don't.
@Ana Bort It's not the friendship of what is unfortunate, it's the moment you and you're bestfriend was not meant for each other to be together and that's what I felt when my bestfriend actually thinks of me is just a bestfriend. My point is, unlucky to have the person you loved already.
@Ana Bort Okay but in the first place, I'm just giving my thought and commenting on what @jeongsatzu said. Have a great one.
Grow as We Go was my relationship for the man I was engaged to… this describes us perfectly now… thank you Ben. Your music has touched my personal life so much.
That's sad :(
And many others too... But hang in there... Brighter days are just around the corner
Same!!!!!
Oh man. This is just sad. But keep fighting. May the fire that was once was be egnited again.
That song is ageless. Always manage to pull tears from my eyes somehow.
I'm just shocked how I found this song after my break-up yesterday because we both decided to let go of each other because we think LOVE isn't enough anymore.
Don't worry, you'll find someone better.
Aww
This song literally represents the asexual experience when someone you really care falls in love with you. You don’t want to hurt them but you can’t love them the way they want to. And yeah social pressure and everything you “beg your heart to start to race when I’m kissing you” or anyone…
That said… the irony that a love song makes asexuals feel represented I can’t 😭
"I think it suck that you're perfect,
'Cause you're not perfect for me"
And then I died.
Ow ow ow
I want to love you and I do, Ben.
😆😂😁 relatable!!

LYRICS
[Verse 1]
I think it sucks that you're perfect
'Cause you're not perfect for me
And though you kill me with kindness
It ain't the kind that I need
I know we look good on paper
Until you give us a read
'Cause when we pull back the curtains
There ain't a whole lot to see
[Chorus]
I wanna love you but I don't
I wanna need you but I won't
I begged my heart to start to race when I'm kissing you
I say I'm dreaming 'bout your face, but it isn't you
[Verse 2]
And I'm not trying to change you
But it's just not in the stars
I know there's somebody out there
To love you just as you are
When you finally find that someone who fits you right
You'rе gonna see I couldn't be him
No matter how hard I try
I know I wanna love you but I-
I wanna lovе you but I-
[Chorus]
I wanna love you but I don't
I wanna need you but I won't
I begged my heart to start to race when I'm kissing you
I say I'm dreaming 'bout your face, but it isn't you
I wanna love you but I don't
You gotta let me let you go
'Cause I can't look you in the eye for another day
Won't stay forever, so goodbye is the only way
I wanna love you but I don't
[Refrain]
I wanna love you
I wanna, I wanna
I wanna love you
I wanna love you but I don't
I wanna, I wanna
I wanna love you
I wanna, I wanna
I wanna love you
I wanna, I wanna
[Chorus]
I wanna love you but I don't
I wanna need you but I won't
I beg my heart to start to race when I'm kissing you
I say I'm dreaming 'bout your face, but it isn't you
I wanna love you but I don't
You gotta let me let you go
'Cause I can't look you in the eye for another day
Won't stay forever, so goodbye is the only way
I wanna love you but I don't
[Refrain]
I wanna love you
I wanna, I wanna
I wanna love you
I wanna love you but I don't
I wanna, I wanna
I wanna love you
I wanna, I wanna
I wanna love you
I wanna, I wanna
Thanks.

Thank you, you are awesomee!

Oh wow! Can’t believe u took the time to put down all the lyrics! Who hired you?
This song is so personal for me. My best friend passed away 2 weeks ago. She and I loved Ben, and we made a cover of it together only a week before. We recorded it, and I am so glad we did. This song is the only way I can hear her voice now. Thanks, Ben.
Ohhh I’m so so sorry. I hope you’re doing much better now ❤ Please let me know, and keep listening to Ben.

@themundanegraciep hi, after two years how are you?
You know how after you read a book, you've essentially lived inside the head of the main characters -- and when you finish the story, you carry with you their life lessons. It's like you've lived this whole story, beginning to end. That's exactly how I feel when I listen to Ben's songs. He's such a fantastic story teller; I can feel what he feels in his lyrics. It's absolutely phenomenal.
Every day - hour - minute - second - souls die and going to HELL - into the regrets. So badly want to be among them? Never to live again?

And you've articulated it so beautifully, thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
I honestly think Ben is one of the greatest musicians of our generation.
Me too. Looking for a group to go with that wants to see him in person
Wish the Grammys cared about him!
@@vickifishman4654 fr! I’m gonna end up going by myself cause none of my friends like him

I don't think so.... I know full well he is.
So excited, Ben is an angel and has created yet another masterpiece
I am in love with this song
He is!
Couldn't agree more ❤️❤️🌹
I’m an aromantic asexual. My whole life I’ve had to say no, over and over again to people who have liked me in some way. It was terrible; I felt like a horrible person because I was always the one to break peoples hearts simply because I couldn’t feel anything back. This song has helped me to take that feeling and heal, knowing it isn’t anyone’s fault.
same here. it kinda sucks, but at least we’re not alone in this
I’m asexual. Finally understanding that in my 60s. Romantically lesbian. But that’s not enough for a relationship unless I find someone the same.
This song does help.
Thank you for this brave and enlightening post 🙏.
Is it just me? Or everyone is also having great fun watching Ben's dancing?
I love his dances sm. My favorite is the "you and i" video. It's a r t
I thought it was just me. I keep coming back to watch his dancing. So smooth.
when "Every Breath You Take" and "I'll Never Love Again" had a child
Too much similar to “I’ll never love again”
Yup...add some elements of winner takes it all ABBA and I will always love you.
WAIT TRUE 😭😭😭
I love this mix
I thought it was 'Long Live' by Taylor Swift
Ben posseses an emotional maturity that i could never dream of having.
You will get there. Life brings many experiences, with time you learn to not hold to what can't be yours, what you can't force.
Does he? he rides those nepotism coat tails with zero self awareness
@@fredgwynn8933 who cares about nepotism when he is amazingly talented
@@fredgwynn8933 wdym
I love his 80’s sound in his songs. His voice is perfect. The lyrics are genius and genuine. Then the fun he has dancing gives me life. I’m listening to this through my headphones over and over again at work trying my best not to break out singing and dancing!
Ben Platt, you are amazing!
Why doesn’t every single soul know this mans music?
It’s just SO GOOD
Someone explain me, why Ben is so underrated? I mean he deserves much more views. He's the best vocalist ever and his songs touch our hearts.
Real talents are mostly underrated
Has anyone noticed that Ben’s recent music videos, including the one covering Lady Gaga, have just been him dancing in front of a camera and having the time of his life? Because I am SO here for it🤩❤️ I hope you’re having an amazing time making this art, Ben ily!
Sometimes that’s all u need so people focus on the music and not the video. And it’s cheap to do.
And it’s Covid friendly!
OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SONG!
This song is so relatable to me but in a different way. I'm gay and when I was younger I dated one of my best girl friends. Well, since I just said I'm gay you probably know it didn't work out. I was struggling with my sexuality and as the song says "I wanna love you but i don't". Another line that I love is "I think it sucks that you're perfect, cause you're not perfect for me". Everyone thought she was perfect for me, we were best friends and we had very similar hobbies and stuff, I wanted to love her and "be normal" so badly. I told her I didn't like her that way after a few months. We still friends but it was never the same
Oh, english isn't my first language btw, there might be some mistakes
I think this is exactly what the song is about.
I can’t believe how much Bens songs are the soundtrack to my life. My husband recently left me and this is pretty much what he said. Older is me trying to tell him not to shut the door, grow as we go is me trying to say we can change together and Runaway is me saying that you promised to stay but didn’t. Thank you Ben for helping me heal and realise how I and my husband feel. X
Listen to “I’ll still have me” by Cyn
@@scoopbrainz I love that song
That sucks, at the same time shouldnt marriage be a team work? if all that is important is "How i feel" then i feel lucky to be not married at 30+
I hope you are doing great! All you need is a lot of good music. Happy New Year!
How do you spell PERFECTION?
It spells ✨REVERIE✨
This album is a solid BOP!!
Couldn't agree more! :)
Some songs cannot be played loud enough... This is the one
To me, I think this song is about Ben himself. I think this is about realizing he was gay, and he wasn't in love with his girlfriend and had feelings for another guy. I absolutely love this song and I also think it is a message saying to be you. Remember you are loved
This happened to me and someone else pretty recently. The sparks just weren't there. I wanted to love them, but... I didn't. Thanks for showing me that this happens sometimes and it's normal and okay, Ben.
That's exactly why I watched this video, there's someone who I should like and it would be perfect if I liked them but I just don't. This song is helpful in expressing what I'm feeling.
Not gonna lie, the production on this song beyond spectacular and I think 'I wanna love you but I don't' is the best song I've heard from Ben Platt since the beginning of his career!

I saw Ben in concert last year during his Reverie tour. I wasn’t happy that tour date got postponed but I was more happy that it postponed rather then cancel. Because a lot of dares for that tour got canceled because of Covid. Hearing this talented singer live was a fun experience and he sounds amazing live. His vocals will stop impressing me. Because Ben has a good singing voice. Every time I listen to music I start singing along with him. Not only is he a really great singer he’s also a really talented actor.
I didn't realise how badly i needed to listen to this song... my heart stopped hearing every lyric, i'm literally living this. thank you, this song has helped me put words to my emotions

Thanks for that!
Greetings from Germany
I've been the person that feels this, and I have had people that feel that way about me. I such a rare and beautiful coincidence to find to people that actually feel the same. And it breaks your heart when you care about someone but can't find the way to truly love them.
The opening line is FABULOUS ✨
i know, the feeling you get from just that one line in the beginning for some reason is just ✨FABULOUS✨
we love u ben!!
If I'd ever be in a situation of unrequited love and he'd be sending me this song of course I'd be crushed, but at the same time at peace and grateful for the emotional maturity he'd have for explaining to me why he can't love me. The lyrics are beyond beautiful
I feel like my boyfriend relates to the song . When I listened to this song I started crying non-stop i think that it put all his feelings together. He says he does love me And I have never brought what I think he really feels with him ever. Should I send him this song and tell him that I know that he feels this way and like let him go ? I love him alot I don't want him to keep trying to love me just becuz he thinks that I'm worthy of it while he actually can't love me . Idk what to do
@@itsjihaneyeah2509 I don't know your situation but I would look at, why do you think he doesn't love you? do you think you don't deserve his love? Is it your heart talking or your fear talking? Regardless I would focus on making your choices from a place of self love.
This song is too heartbreaking, it's not easy in any way to tell someone you loved one day: "When you finally find that someone who fits you right, you’re gonna see I couldn't be her, no matter how hard I try.. I wanna need you, but I won’t …” I wish you only the best in memory of all the beautiful love that one day we gave each other😊 🙏🏼
Ben knows exactly what to say that captures my mood far better than I can!
This song is perfect for my mother’s situation. They are going through a divorce and my mom fell out of love with my momma. (Yes I have two moms) so this song is amazing but really sad because of what’s going on
Just curious (if there is a difference): So what makes one your mom and the other you’re momma?
@@jblue1622 My mom is the one who birth me when she was with my father. And my momma is basically my step mom. She and my birth mom got together when I was 13 and now I’m 18.

I love how this song is about not fitting for each other, but not trying to change the partner. It’s so important to let go, instead of forcing something that is not meant to be. Ben sings about it in such a respectful way.
This is my new favorite song, I relate so much to it, especially to the "We look good on paper / Until you give us a read". If anyone is feeling like this out there, know that the perfect person for you is waiting out there somewhere, never give up on love. Let go of people if you realize they're not what you need. Maybe one day you'll be reunited with them if you were meant to be together, and if not, all that will be is new opportunities. Don't give up!
On the train right now with my daughter going to see him at Madison square garden tonight so excited 😊
Okey but... Can we talk about his voice, the perfect music and how perfect it sounds on it?? I have no words. In addittion such a different topic than usual. LOVE it.
THOSE are some real good lyrics. just amazing
I really love ben platt's voice and the Dear Evan Hansen is reallyyy nearr🤍♥️🖤 from the first time I saw and heard this man sing 5 years ago I already fell in love with his voice🤍♥️ fan from the Philippines 🇵🇭 here👌👏👏
This song is a masterpiece, literally the story of my life in most of the relationships i've been in, i was with them just because i felt like i needed someone, i felt i was alone, or i just trusted them and felt comfortable with them, but i really didn't fall in love except for one time and i always tried to have this feeling again with them, but love just comes like that, it happens or it doesn't, no matter how hard you make it work..
As someone who’s been searching for love for a while, knowing or thinking that somebody is interested in me but not feeling the same way is heartbreaking. I just wanna love somebody, man.
I have had this album on repeat since it was released! Another masterpiece!!!
Meeeeee tooooo
This gives me “if Bob Ross was a popstar” kinda vibe. I LOVE YOU, BEN🥺
And why is my heart pounding faster and faster while listening to this... ????
Someone else said it I agree, Ben’s to good! How is his music not everywhere I should hear it rerun on the radio I need it when I don’t think I do it’s beautiful “I got the magic in me” 😂✌🏼
This song means so much.
When you are on the other side and you are the one who is "perfect" but not for him, I can assure you that you will have one of the most heartbroken experiences in your life. But you are not alone, and as he said, you are perfect. Say it, scream it as much as you need.
Yes it sucks, and i hope they Would be honest and broke up with me when they know they felt this way,
honey one of the worst feelings I’ve felt in a long time, we stayed together / talking and he told me recently that he doesn’t feel the same way anymore. And that he doesn’t like me anymore
Many of us have felt that way at some point, this song expresses that desire to tell the truth to that person, that sincere whisper without harming their heart, to say that our love was real but our feelings grew, changed
This song is like a hug to understand that we are not the only ones, it helps us to understand and to express ourselves
One of the many, many things to cherish about Mr. Platt -- his artistry & vocal chops, clearly at the top of the list -- is how very human his physical presence is. He actually looks like a real person, i.e. NOT spending 4 hours at the gym every day... maybe eating what he wants to etc. Because of this, I find him to be very "relatable".
Listening to this song moves a sensitive chord in me, the lyrics are beautiful and looking at him awakens tenderness, I want to hug him
I´m still surprised at the ability this person has to make me love all thier songs, wow-
This got me bawling. Made me think of those times I get so lonely and desperate for that "one", I settle and I tried to make it work with every guy I was with even when it wasn't meant to be. This song means self love and self respect to me.
Here I am, more than a year after this song was released, still obsessed, still dancing, still crying. I'm not even exaggerating when I say I can count the number of days on one hand when I didn't listen to this song (and attempt to sing it RIP my vocal cords) at least once. I just love Ben Platt so much and I feel so blessed to be on the same planet at the same time.
Wow, just discovering Ben Platt. What an extraordinary and amazing voice you have. Loved your rendition of "You're All I Need To Get By with the other amazing new favorite of mine Cynthia Erivo🥰🥰🥰
Catch his new song dropping today and the new album, Honeymind, end of May! Also, his tour starts up in June - be sure to catch him because he;s phenomenal live!
I'm so excited!!! This is one of my favorite songs on the album!!!!
I can't wait for this music video!!! One of the best songs from Reverie ❤️
I wonder why this wasn't a hit? it's a really brilliant song!!🥰
I just found this song . I was watching Ellen, and he came on and sang this song. I really like his voice. Beautiful. 💞
Even though it’s about to be two years and I’m still deeply in love with my ex… I heard this song I can’t help and think that if she could this would be the song that would fit what she feels…like always Ben has perfect timing…please never stop making music.
Ben singing in his lower range is everything!
Yes. A lot of yelling in the high register sells with some people. But it makes for everything sounding the same. His voice is so beautiful--and you hear it when he really sings. Grow as we go, and this one. Amazing.
Ben, the quality of your music is unmatched.
This song is a free therapy
Those 80's VIBES!!! The whole album gives me 80's vibes and I am HERE for it!
thought i was the only one
"And I'm not trying to change you"
Hits so bad:)
My heart is just tearing into pieces...
i love this song because it speaks volumes and earnest feelings of the heart and tough decisions that comes with it. thank you ben platt for the truth of your words and the magic of your voice.
Brings back to my teenage years when I met this guy, he was super super nice, he maybe even fell in love with me over the 3 or 4 dates we went on, but God I felt horrible, I wanted to love him, but I wasn’t even sure I really liked him or just how obsessed he was with me. It was hard to break his heart but I told him before he would have been too deep, that I din’t have the same feelings and it wouldn’t be fair to keep meeting when we see eachother differently.
I’m on my 19th listen as of this comment. What an amazing, perfect song in every way. Composition is excellent and the vocal is absolutely heartbreaking. It really cut right through my heart.
Reverie is my current obsession, I play it 24/7
This is one of those songs that makes you cry and smile. Thank you, Ben. I love your voice. This song is a winner!
I recently discoverd his music and i have to say I am so fascinated with his voice and the songs he sings...I think I love his music and i am in my mid- 50's!
join the crowd. i’m 65 and love ben’s music. i think he has an ageless, universal appeal. he awakens feelings from a younger me.
This is one of the most relatable songs I’ve EVER heard, and it has such an important message. I literally feel like it was written for me. I felt this way about my ex boyfriend, as well as some of my friends in the past. They deserved so much love but I couldn’t be the person to give it to them because there just wasn’t a connection/spark between us. I desperately tried to create something that was not there and it ended up hurting both of us in the process. I know someone is out there who will love and appreciate them as they should be, in the way that I couldn’t. Sometimes our relationships with people are not written in the stars, and that’s okay. It’s important to recognize that and to not force something that is not meant to be. Thank you Ben for this masterpiece. I’ve been listening to Reverie nonstop since it was released ❤️
This song, the visuals, his vocals 😭😭 Literally everything is immaculate about this. Chills. Ben is just so incredibly talented
I wanna love you
I think it sucks that you're perfect
'Cause you're not perfect for me
And though you kill me with kindness
It ain't the kind that I need
I known we look good on paper
Until you give us a read
'Cause when we pull back the curtains
There ain't a whole lot to see
I wanna love you but I don't
I wanna need you but I won't
I beg my heart to start to race when I'm kissing you
I say I dreaming about your face, but it isn't you
And I'm not trying to change you
But it's just not in the stars
I know there's somebody out there
To love you just as you are
When you find me, find someone who fits you right
You're gonna see I couldn't be him
No mater how hard I tried
I know, I wanna love you but I
I wanna love you but I
I wanna love you but I don't
I wanna need you but I won't
I beg my heart to start to race when I'm kissing you
I say I'm dreaming about your face, but it isn't you
I wanna love you but I don't
You gotta let me let you go
'Cause I can't look you in the eye
For another day
Won't stay forever, so goodbye
It's the only way
I wanna love you but I don't
I wanna love you
I wanna, I wanna
I wanna love you
I wanna love you but I don't
I wanna, I wanna
I wanna love you
I wanna, I wanna
I wanna love you
I wanna, I wanna
I wanna love you but I don't
I wanna need you but I won't
I beg my heart to start to race when I'm kissing you
I say I'm dreaming about your face, but it isn't you
I wanna love you but I don't
You gotta let me let you go
'Cause I can't look you in the eye
For another day
Won't stay forever, so goodbye
It's the only way
I wanna love you but I don't
I wanna love you
I wanna, I wanna
I wanna love you
I wanna love you but I don't
I wanna, I wanna
I wanna love you
I wanna, I wanna
I wanna love you
I wanna, I wanna
Just heard this on the loop.i had to look it up, it's how I feel.
Ben's vocals never disappoint! There a part in just about all of his songs where I have to stop what I'm doing and just appreciate what I'm hearing.
"You accept the love you think you deserve."
-Perks of Being a Wallflower
This track is SO underrated. Brilliant in so many ways
Who else is seeing the surge of modern artists today embracing adult contemporary from the 80s? From their fashion, camera and cinematography. How they are making their videos look older than they are.
Why is he not main stream yet, such incredible talent and that voice is just a cut above the rest, his songs should be charting number 1 world wide.
Everything about this song, this album and Ben is perfect.
Best Ben Platt song ever.
The anthem for "Cutting Edge 5: Broken Ice."
This is a masterpiece! His voice, the movements, the visuals,, the song… It’s just perfect!
This masterpiece has reminded me why I love this man. I just really wish he got the viewership he deserves. I LOVE YOU BEN PLATT♥
Go on Ben, get em!
This is pure insanity!!!!😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
