    Joji, I don’t expect you or Benee to see or read this, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this song. I have literally been at the lowest point of my life recently and my fiancé left me. This song has truly kept me from ending it all. I’m truly grateful for artists like y’all. Thank you for making this masterpiece to help people like me deal with the everyday constant struggles.

      Oops I was listening to Asokah- Love Galore and was commenting on that song but it autoplayed to JoJi's. This is also my deepest favourites. This song makes me understand the craving of a lost soul that is both wronged by both sides where the destination of this heartbreak is both accountable on both sides and finding peace in the outcome of where we stand. Sadly reality is not like this. Many breakup are due to toxic partners not wanting to find a medium to understand the other.

    Verse 1: Joji]
    Lately, I've been slippin' away from you
    Can you tell me, does it hurt today?
    Yeah, there's no way, yeah (No way, no way, no way)
    To burn, there's no flames, yeah (There's no flames)
    Praying nine to five like a saint for you (Like a saint)
    Can you tell me how it turned this way? (How?)
    Yeah, things have changed, yeah (Yeah)
    Yeah, filled with rage, yeah (Filled with rage)
    [Chorus: Joji]
    So lost in these diamonds
    So lost in this paradise
    Don't speed on that highway
    We need you to shine bright
    When life gets too complicatеd
    Please stand with me aftеr dark
    I'll stay in the limelight
    Like a beautiful afterthought
    Like a beautiful afterthought
    [Verse 2: BENEE]
    Sometimes, you'd ask me for something different
    Hated when you did it, I wish that you didn't
    I would do things and you'd get annoyed, I
    Should've never done them, I wish I was different
    Why do we have to step away now?
    It’s been a year, been a couple days now
    Since you called me sayin' you're worried
    Been hard for me dealin' with this space now
    No company, wishin' we could sit down
    'Cause I'm sorry, but you don't want me Chorus: Joji]
    So lost in these diamonds
    So lost in this paradise
    Don't speed on that highway
    We need you to shine bright
    When life gets too complicated
    Please stand with me after dark
    I'll stay in the limelight
    Like a beautiful afterthought
    Like a beautiful afterthought
    [Outro: BENEE & Joji]
    I don't wanna forget about you
    I don't wanna forget about you, oh
    I don't wanna forget about you
    I don't wanna think about it
    Think about it

    for some reason i have something to share with you joji.
    i was a loner despite of having a few friends but due to this pandemic i don't have a chance to bond w/ them. i think i lost my path on becoming a responsible big brother to my 2 younger siblings, I'm lacking of being a good big brother for wasting my time to other stuff such as playing mobile online games like codm and more. but i really want to push myself as a successful man oneday but that would be my imagination. I dreamed to become an airplane pilot someday but my parents can't afford the budget ob college so I think having a simple job will only be my future someday. i really admire you joji since you were so called "pink guy, franku, George, etc". i wish oneday I'll get a chance to talk to you personally and have a good time with y'all 88 rising fam. wish you the best joji love u man!

    The song describes the aftermath of a dysfunctional relationship. Joji reflects on where he and his partner went wrong and wonders how the partner feels about the situation.
    Despite a messy break-up, Joji does not bear his ex any ill will. He only prays that both of them will find happiness and solitude, and treasure the time they had together.

    Lyrics, just because I need them..
    Lately, I've been slippin' away from you
    Can you tell me, does it hurt today?
    Yeah, there's no way, yeah (no way, no way, no way)
    To burn, there's no flames, yeah (there's no flames)
    Praying nine to five like a saint for you (like a saint)
    Can you tell me how it turned this way? (How?)
    Yeah, things have changed, yeah (yeah)
    Yeah, filled with rage, yeah (filled with rage)
    So lost in these diamonds
    So lost in this paradise
    Don't speed on that highway
    We need you to shine bright
    When life gets too complicated
    Please stay with me after dark
    I'll stay in the limelight
    Like a beautiful afterthought
    Like a beautiful afterthought
    Sometimes, you'd ask me for something different
    Hated when you did it, I wish that you didn't
    I would do things and you'd get annoyed
    I should've never done them, I wish I was different
    Why do we have to step away now?
    It's been a year, been a couple days now
    Since you called me sayin' you're worried
    Been hard for me dealin' with this space now
    No company, wishin' we could sit down
    'Cause I'm sorry, but you don't want me
    So lost in these diamonds
    So lost in this paradise
    Don't speed on that highway
    We need you to shine bright
    When life gets too complicated
    Please stay with me after dark
    I'll stay in the limelight
    Like a beautiful afterthought
    Like a beautiful afterthought
    I don't wanna forget about you
    I don't wanna forget about you, oh

    I cant stop listening to this song. It brought me back to when I crushed on a guy (for 2 years) who only wanted to be friends that time. Then, I have been in a relationship with someone else, the guy I crushed on called me saying that he wanted to hang out and that maybe we should try seeing each other. I told him that it's too late as my boyfriend (who is now my husband) just proposed me, and I'm moving to the US. We cant turn back time. ..
    You know when things in life are meant to be, it will definitely be. We don't need to force anything to happen. For someone who's not meant to be ours, we wont have them no matter how hard we try.
