I don’t know if I’m just forcing meaning onto a song, but this one just hits. Last year, my best friend got into drugs. I watched it absorb her and change her entire persona. Things spiraled, and spiraled fast. Soon, she became just the name, just an imprint, of the girl she used to be. She used to be this smiling kid who laughed in the face of life’s challenges, hands at her hips, stubbornly being happy. The light, the happy, it all faded from her eyes. She had this way of taunting life, almost as if saying “what’s next? I can take it.” We were joint at the hip, almost literally. We planned to run away to New York, so I got a job to save up for us. We planned to grow old together, to build a cottage in field by the sea in Maine. She made me smile harder, live harder, love harder, than anyone else on this planet. Nothing, and no one, will be able to top her almost unearthly beauty, inside and out. Then, I sat there, and watched the drugs eat all of this away from her. She transformed into numbness pulp who cannot go a day without a puff. Being high causes her to become angry, and there’s never any filter. She started saying things that didn’t sound like her, starting accusing me things that I had never even mentioned, let alone done. The drugs fed her paranoia and fatten it up, and with every single high she poured it all on top of me. I just became so tired, and so helpless, that I couldn’t bare it anymore. There’s more to the story, I can promise you that. I am in no way perfect, and I don’t have any right to pretend to be a victim. I just wish she knew how hard I held on. How much I love her. How much it still hurts that I had to say goodbye. Two years ago, she told me that I deserved to be selfish. That I can start living my life for myself, because I earned it. In the end, those are the very words that caused me to leave our friendship. It became a burden, rather than a part of my day that made living easier. I tried sticking around, I tried making it work even to the last minute. Every time I did tho, I’d get hit with the memories of who she used to be. I’d stand there realizing she’s a walking corpse, the dead remains of who she was. Yep, in the end, we crashed. Not a day goes by where I don’t miss her, but in the end, I know it’s for the better. Sometimes when I’m on my last leg and the thought of having to be without her for the rest of my life becomes too much, I just think this; “in another life.” In another life, we’ll run off and write that movie together. We’ll get that summer job together, and I’ll get my drivers license 8 months before you and drive us to Colorado because we feel like it. Maybe not this one, but in another life. Edit: you guys have made my entire year. The support means the most, you have no idea. EDIT: FOUR YEARS LATER AND WE ARE FRIENDS AGAIN. LIFE IS SO GOOD

Since last June, I didn’t feel like myself. I was depressed, and every time I tried to escape from feeling like a failure it only got worse. I asked my parents to take me to a therapist when I thought things couldn’t get any worse. But it did. Last week, I was diagnosed with depression. I couldn’t go to anywhere if I tried to, and keep on cancelling plans with people made me anxious and worried if people would see me as a failure too. But still, I just couldn’t do anything. I felt terrible. It was like I was at the edge of everything, and I actually wanted to end myself. I cried a lot listening to cavetown’s songs. They made me feel I matter. They made me feel this is just a bump in the road and I can go back after a little break and comfort, which it gave me. Talk to me was my favourite song but I think this one’s going to be my another. I don’t know if he’ll read this, but if you are, please know that you are helping me going through this a lot. Thank you. I love you and your songs.

this song literally feels like the lump in your throat when you love someone but know their bad for you, so you stay up all night staring out your window thinking about how perfect you would’ve been together if you hadn’t hurt each other the way you did. can we also talk about how at the same time it sounds like when you love someone, but know their bad for you and that your bad for EACH OTHER but you just can’t seem to get over them, and you know that you have so much baggage and don’t want them to have to put up with you, but you know that they don’t mind, and part of you knows that you could love them so well, but you also know you’d hurt them regardless and don’t wanna put them through that, so you end up breaking your own heart, and are struggling to try not to let them back in EVERY time you talk to them, because i can see both scenarios 😩

Okay, can anyone please explain the plot of the song to me?

[@apinchofdisappointment]

I feel like Robbie always posts at the right time. I was feeling so lonely & suddenly a new cover is out. He has such a calming voice, almost like a lullaby or a warm hug or something. Or maybe like that feeling of warmth whilst drinking tea/soup/hot chocolate after being out in the cold for so long 💞...

[@Lowzerix]

Yeah...

[@noodli_o]

my grandpa was named paul. he was an amazing, loving, wholesome person. he lost his life to liver cancer and other medical issues and i miss him a lot. him and my grandma lived right up the street, they would pick us up from school, i would see them every day. i miss him so much. coming up 4 years he's gone in july, miss him lots

Last night l attended the engagement ceremony of my first love with whom I broke up 3 years ago. Because we were hurting each other even though we loved each other. it didn't seem to work no matter how much we tried. He engaged someone who loves him and makes him grow so I'm happy for him. Listening to this song reminded me of our night drives and other sweet memories. It kinda hurts tbh.

Why are all of our dads named Paul

[@internetgh0st445]

My grandpa, his name is Paul, he is around 60 years old. And every single day he smokes at least more than one cigarette and more than 2 beers everyday since he was able to drink. My grandma has been trying to tell him to stop for so long now. He’s also, never drunk and he is not abusive at all. He is actually really nice to all his pets and his grandkids and his wife he’s just very alcoholic and he smokes. A lot. I know that people probably have much worse stories and if you had had something bad or tragic in you life I am truly so sorry and hope you are happy now. I just saw this song and I wanted to share. If you need to let something out or vent about something please do it replies. Most people on KZbin who hear your stories will reach out to you and talk to you about it. Keep in mind that many people love you more than you think to be specific. Whoever is reading this, have a great day, I love you :)
