dobhopsy kinda both. But more about him loving someone who already loves someone else, thats why the songs called “self control”. He needs to “control” his feelings

[@MoroseWrld]

Frank is asking his past lover to remember him and their relationship, even during nights with a new person. The frequent repetition of “it’s nothing” shows that he’s trying to seem nonchalant, when in reality things aren’t that simple. Even though Frank acknowledges this relationship is a no-go, he loves them regardless and desperately wants to maintain a place in this person’s heart.

I don't have any friends. I don't work or go to school. Even before COVID happened, I was never leaving the house. This past winter, I decided to go on a trip with my mom to Brazil to visit some family (keep in mind it's summer over there when it's winter in the US). Throughout my time there I was trying to find activities and distractions to get away from my depressive reality but all attempts failed and I started to question if I should have gone on the trip at all. Then I met this girl. We only talked for about an hour before she went back home but I felt this connection with her that I hadn't felt with a person in a long time. So the next day I got her number and we started talking. We ended up getting kinda close and it was obvious that we had some feelings for each other even though we had barely met. A few days later, I had to catch my flight home and she took her time to visit me at the airport just to say goodbye. When I hear the "I-I-I know you gotta leave" part in this song, I relive that moment, standing there at the airport seeing her face for what might be the last time.

this song used to make me feel like something was clawing it’s way through my heart. the heartbreak i experienced with my significant other was so immense, and i cried to this song for days, and weeks, and for a long while. i hadn’t listened to it for a few years until it shuffled its way into my spotify queue. i now look back on this song like a bittersweet memory that made me who i am today. i no longer feel the pain that once engulfed my entire life when we separated from each other, even though this song reminds me of what once was. i feel like i have grown stronger and more resilient when the final part of the song plays out. if you’re reading this far…know that it all works out in the end. you’ll come back to this memory one day and understand why it made you feel the way you feel, but it will come with some good cleansing closure. you’ll be a better person too.❤️

"Keep a place for me, for me/ I'll sleep between y'all, it's nothing" is a line that continues to crush me. The way the line is delivered makes it sound like Frank concedes that he can't be with another person but (almost desperately) asks them to remember him. Frank says "it's nothing, it's no thing" nonchalantly as if to maintain a sense of pride when in reality, it's most likely him who is not able to let go and move on.

I’ve been listening to this on repeat for days now, and it feels like the only thing that truly gets how I feel. There’s something about the way the music flows, the way the lyrics cut deep, that pulls out everything I’ve been trying to keep buried. When he says *I I I know you gotta leave leave leave*, it hits me right in the chest because that’s my story. That’s the reality I can’t escape-that she’s gone, and it’s my fault. I’m sitting at the place where we first met, replaying it in my mind like it just happened yesterday. It was here, at this metro station, that my whole world shifted in a single moment. I remember seeing her walk toward me for the first time, and it was like nothing else around me mattered. She wasn’t trying to stand out, but she did. Her hair moved so effortlessly, catching the light, and her eyes… her eyes had this warmth to them, like they carried all the joy and wonder in the world. And her smile-it wasn’t just a smile, it was a feeling, one that made everything brighter, softer, and better in a way I can’t even explain. She wasn’t just beautiful in the way you think of beauty. She was beautiful in the way she made you feel, the way she carried herself, and the way she cared about people. She had this way of making you feel seen, like what you said mattered even if it didn’t. Her laugh could pull me out of the darkest places, and just being around her felt like being home. She was everything, and I thought I’d gotten so lucky, like somehow the universe had smiled on me and handed me this perfect person. And yet, I ruined it. I was scared-scared of being vulnerable, scared she’d see parts of me I didn’t want anyone to see. So I kept things from her, thinking I was protecting us, but all I was doing was breaking something I should have held onto with everything I had. And now, I’m here, listening to this song, and the tears just won’t stop. When he says *I’ll be the boyfriend in your wet dreams tonight*, it crushes me because that’s all I’ll ever be now-just a memory. Someone she might think of sometimes, but not in the way I wish she would. And when the song goes *you cut your hair, but you used to live a blonded life*, it makes me think about how much must already be different for her. She’s probably out there moving on, growing, changing, while I’m still here, stuck in the same place, carrying all these regrets. I know she deserved better than the person I was. I can’t stop thinking about how I failed her, how I let my fear and my mistakes ruin something so beautiful. Now all I have is this song and these memories. They hurt, but they’re all I have left of her. The tears keep coming, and I don’t try to fight them anymore. I let them fall because I deserve this, this pain, this guilt. She was my everything, and now she’s gone, and I’ll have to live with that.

I am grateful to you, Frank, for this music. I find moments of my life in it. At the moment, I don't know how to accurately describe my state, but it's probably loneliness and a broken heart. Every day, I feel like I'm losing true sincerity and selflessness in people, which makes it difficult for me to communicate. Thank you for the album! This work will transcend generations ;)

[@KC-vs7wp]

Didn’t believe in soul mates until I met him. Truly had the happiest months of my life. He ended up losing feelings, and was torn up because he didn’t want to hurt me. It would be easier to move forward if he’d done something wrong or was a bad person. But he’s not, and he didn’t. He was a once in a lifetime sort of person. He taught me how to love myself, how to love someone else and how to push myself to be better than I ever could be. It seems too lonely to do that without him now. I wish we would’ve stayed just friends from the beginning so I wouldn’t be feeling this. We’re moving to different states soon. I should have thought about this harder. But he made me lose my self control
