Man I watched my oldest son go through it hurt so bad but it was too much. And nothing I could say would help and to him I just didnt understand and I understood o too well. It was hard to watch
HamNediaj Its saying that ultimately he hopes the she is happy now, because she was pretending then. I guess it makes sense if its this way, that's how I see it. "I hope you are as happy as you were pretending." kind of thing.... and clol159 I totally agree... TT^TT
+HamNediaj The lyric never says or implies she is happy. It's more like, I know you're pretending to be happy, but I still want to hope you are actually as happy as you look.
***** The whole point of the lyric, He sees her being "happy" yet he knows she's not really happy. Yet he hopes she is actually happy because he wants her to be happy.
I think he is just speaking as an insecure person that likes to believe someone is truly happy but deep down they arent, but he wishes they were that happy person as they may pretend to be.. He is more saying... Like i hope you are truly happy as u might be pretend to be, to try and make me think i am making you happy so you dont get sad??? That''s my opinion.
i hate it because i want to go back to the times i used to listen to this, everyones grown up now everyones an adult and i just feel stuck in the past. the memories i have will always be with me, though
I just turned 28. This is when you start to say 'remember when' alot and that's when you feel like you're officially growing up. It's never too late to change your situation and keep making awesome memories.
Everyone has that song that takes them back to a time in their life. It doesn't necessarily have to be a particular significant moment, or even a moment at that. It could just be a feeling, a specific feeling that you had in the past. And in that moment, we begin to relive all the moments and all the feelings we had at that period of our lives. For me, this is one of those songs. It wasn't like an anthem or anything and I didn't listen to it because of a break up or what. I just really liked the song and the band and felt the emotions that they were trying to convey in this song. Now, whenever I listen to it, I feel those emotions again, but I feel them as if I was my younger self again. And in turn, I am transformed back into my past self. All the hopes and dreams I had, I feel again. What's sad, however, is I know it's all in my mind and that my my hopes and dreams are but a distant memory.
This was my first Dashboard Confessional song. I heard it over the loudspeaker in a Walgreens of all places. Who knew a pharmacy could help me find one of my favorite bands?
I was watching a video & the creator randomly said "screaming infidelities" & just moved. It threw me & sent me here. I was OBSESSED w y'all back in the day & this song just chases me throughout my life. I literally did an English project incorporating your lyrics to this song, while going through one of the many breakups I had w my high school sweetheart. Idk what it is but this song is simply a part of me. Thank u for putting your music out into the ethers. It's all still incredible & relatable to this day
I fell in love with this girl and she was perfect. She didn’t feel the same and is now with another guy. I tell everybody I’m over it but truth is it’s been nearly a year and it hurts everyday. I’ve been depressed for God knows how long and this has only made it a million times stronger. I go to church and listen to metal and emo music and it’s helped a bit.
Time does heal everything and we eventually you'll find someone who is looking for you. Try and put them out your mind and make yourself better. My best gym gains were directly after breakups. Good luck and you can make it
The worst part about this song is it was mine and my girl’s song during senior year of high school. That was more than ten years ago and now she isn’t with us anymore it just leaves me gutted.
This song for me feels symbolic because the girl i loved was toxic and she knew it and didnt know how to fix it. Sorta wish you could help her but she did unforgiving things when we were together and then we decided to make unforgettable choices in the end or as we continued and this song just hits home with almsot everything i feel. "Im missing your laugh how did it break? And when did your eyes begin to look fake?" That line just brings memories from When we began and it was innocent and a great relationship. If only we made better decisions together it wouldnt have ended up like this. I miss her and i just wish i knew if she misses me too.
Makes me so sad, I remember when I was in high school, break ups sucked. Im going on 23 now, and they aren't getting any better. Relationship are full of pain & heartbreak. Heartbreak isn't something that happens once, sometimes its daily, sometimes she breaks my heart every day just a little more :(.
I heard a song the other day that took me right back to my early 20s and lots of good times! But those memories eventually led me to bad ones of getting separated with my now ex-wife so I had to look up the song because the lyrics are very precise to how I was feelings about her then
It's sad, but most people can relate to a horrible breakup. This song is great at putting depressing music and expressing what we all feel in that situation. I hate the "feel good" people who just say it will get better. For most it does, but each person is unique. To all that hurt, I hope you can say "Fuck It" and make a better life for yourself.
Song makes me sad . My first love played this to me when we were going threw a hard time . After we got back together he was killed . he wrote this whole song on a sheet of paper and gave it to me i still have it . rip Miss you
andrew dyke so I’m about 10 months late here but chin up, dude. Love may become lost but it will always be found again, if you are ready to have it again. Look to the past, feel the now, but hope for the future. Stay strong.

Reading all these comments from the older generation makes me want to live in that generation. Damn, I'm 16 and what the fvck happened to music. I wish I could attend those concerts like from before. I WAS BORN IN THE WRONG TIMELINE.
I remember my friend listening to the song, as he thought of his ex..( I thought he was so cliche”, and hated this band..lol, But I hear it now…. What he felt at 20.. I ended up Marrying that girl he thought about..😮..I know crazy , we are divorced now, and I regret loosing a great friend, not knowing what it does to a man, because at that time I really didn’t know jack about relationships.. When you young and fall”, you are blind and deaf to everything but Her”, or him, whatever.. ( I was married to her hair for 10 years, tho I really only felt that insane love for about 3-4 if I’m honest, but she will always be a huge part of me…even if she was unfaithful in marriage, she is still my wife, I will always love her. And hate her at the same time.. like that u2 song, with or without you … that is us. She could give me a reason for divorce, but being unfaithful is like, stabbing someone…, I know how much it hurt. It makes me want to hug my old friend Jake, and tell him I wish I would have understood. Life is never predictable, if it is you probably aren’t “living”…. ❤
Now i work this stupid job that i spend every day all day NOT CALLING HIM BECAUSE IM TOO SCARED TO BOTHER HIM AND JUST PRAYING HE CALLS and i tell him i miss him so much and at first he would tell me he missed me too but i told him i missed him a few weeks ago and he aint said NOTHING at all
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!! I dated a girl when i was like 15-16 and she used to always pnay this song but it was an actual rock verison. When they sing " your hair is everywhere " they are screaming it. Dashboards version sounds more soft compared to the cover im talking about. Please help
@XDpeaceout That's freakin' hilarious.. I haven't listened to this since my girlfriend in highschool like 8 years ago, and Cyanide and Happiness brought me here too hahaha
I just realized that didn't make sense...You're taking AWAY a layer if you take out the drums. To prevent myself from being trolled, I'm correcting myself. I meant to say that there's a certain DEPTH that is attained with just guitars, no drums.
As a teen in the 90's I thought breakups were bad now I'm watching my daughter go through it and it's tearing my heart out.
I dread for this day to come with my daughter... I hope things are good now for you both!

"I hope you're as happy as you're pretending." so simple, but so heartbreakingly powerful...
That statement doesn't make sense though. If she's pretending to be that happy she therefore isn't happy.

Not sure if you'll ever read this, but you captured the feelings this song evokes perfectly.
Well said...I feel that 100%

The guy who plays drums in DC is a beast
Funnily enough my ex introduced me to this song through the mash-up with Brand New.
Ironic how I've been listening to this song since we broke up.
I bet you are better without that guy. Don't be butt hurt

The Quiet Screaming- The Legion of Doom
Gives this song so much more edge!! :)
"I am alone, In my defeat I wish l knew you were safely at home" is about the point where I broke...
Everyone so sad about break-ups.
Now, I'm 19 and I never had one.
I've never been in a relationship. That's sad shit.
holly shanks don't do it unless you know you don't wanna be with anyone else. If you have any got feeling about it being wrong don't do it

Build it an they will come? That's what I'm working on
I’m 28, and believe me I feel the same way. My teenage years , this kind of music, was the last genre of real stuff, and back then I didn’t know it.
The typos and incorrect lyrics in this are painful :(
It is, but it is time period accurate, as texting was all like that back in the 2000s.
For the algorithm
Love this

what does wair mean
+GTFOH wearing Me down is the true intent of the lyric.
Donald Lo,, idiot that made this should have written "wear" ( like its wearing him out)
@XDpeaceout That's freakin' hilarious.. I haven't listened to this since my girlfriend in highschool like 8 years ago, and Cyanide and Happiness brought me here too hahaha
Uhm.. The word "wair" is a noun that means a plank 6 ft long and 1 ft across...
Sorry to be a stickler...
Cuddling close to blankets and sheets🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃😭😭
2020!!
@robottuxedo yeah i think she spelled "wear" wrong
Wair (N.) - A plank 6 feet long and 1 foot across. So THAT'S what her hair is taking.
taking its wear
Wair? wait one second while i look for my dictionary! :)
I always thought he said “bottle of paste” like he was huffing glue to get high and feel not so sad
I brought myself here. Chyeah how about that one?!? Lol.
I miss you kuya 😭😭😭😭

When did this come out??
Taylor swift's photo brought me here :D

why does his voice sound so familiar? was the vocalist in any other bands?
typecast band bro,
He's also the singer of Suicide Silence FYI.
Jonathan P he isnt the lead singer of Suicide Silence that's Mitch Lucker
where is the original video of this song? i cant find it anywhere :(
Does this song sound different to anyone ? Idk but I feel like this song sounded different.
'Where we'd have to speak', I thought it said?
Just an FYI anyone watching this: Wair = Wear....... I looked it up, so trust me.....Wair = Wear.
melissa marr brought me here from her book "Wicked Lovely"
@MichaelLee570 scratch that.. Just watched the video again and I see what you mean.
emm i think its ment to be where...
how many people from Crowder's latest? XD

i wish that i was anywhere with anyone making out....
There's a version of this song with no drums.
What is a wair?
word
I love its slow for ex girlfriends who kust dont get it
