[@joee5413]

She’s come so far 🥺 I wish u the best Tate!

[@courtneymichelle7125]

The thing about this song, it really relates to friendships too! You want to keep someone in your life you've known for so long and because you've known them for so long you can't see yourself without them even though they are negative and toxic! It's just sad, really! 😒😔 It also hurts when you both have a mutual friend group and out of all them only one or two of them ask how you're doing or try to hear your side of things...

6:26 that happened to me!! wow i relate to this song a lot. because it took me a really long time to recover from a relationship, meaning that I spent 2 years and a half still liking this guy and suffering each time I saw him move on so fast with another girl. yes. it is very painful to see ur still crush moving on so fast while ur stuck there trying to do the same thing, but you just can't, and you are afraid to admit that you still have feelings for him and you're so mad about it that you try to say that you're moving on too, but you know that. deep inside, it is a lie

[@southernrythmn5786]

It's also my favorite music video shes done. Idk I just like the background and how it looks as shes walking This song is very relatable.

Maybe you don't like talking too much about yourself But you shoulda told me that you were thinkin' 'bout someone else You're drunk at a party or maybe it's just that your car broke down Your phone's been off for a couple months, so you're calling me now I know you, you're like this When shit don't go your way you needed me to fix it And like me, I did But I ran out of every reason Now suddenly you're asking for it back Could you tell me, where'd you get the nerve? Yeah, you could say you miss all that we had But I don't really care how bad it hurts When you broke me first You broke me first Took a while, was in denial when I first heard That you moved on quicker than I could've ever, you know that hurt Swear for a while I would stare at my phone just to see your name But now that it's there, I don't really know what to say I know you, you're like this When shit don't go your way you needed me to fix it And like me, I did But I ran out of every reason Now suddenly you're asking for it back Could you tell me, where'd you get the nerve? Yeah, you could say you miss all that we had But I don't really care how bad it hurts When you broke me first You broke me first What did you think would happen? What did you think would happen? I'll never let you have it What did you think would happen? Now suddenly you're asking for it back Could you tell me, where'd you get the nerve? Yeah, you could say you miss all that we had But I don't really care how bad it hurts When you broke me first You broke me first (You broke me first) You broke me first, ah

[@mariaguon3841]

Listening to this I realized I was the "bad guy" in a relationship with an old friend. 😓 It hurts me realizing that I hurt him like this. Update: I talked about it with this guy and he was like "you hurt me and the person I love most in this world. We can never be friends." Too bad I see him at work every day. :/
