lo fi song about a break up | Just Fine

i'll probably call it "just fine" lol
HERE'S A TUTORIAL on how to play! and chords! • how to play Just Fine ...
lyrics!
I wrote him a letter
I cried in the bath
I called my mother
And lay in the dark
i took down the pictures, and I
Taught myself to breathe
And I hear he’s doing just fine
Without me
I catch the daydreams
before hope settles in
I welcome the waves because
I know I won’t win
Oh I’d never wish this feeling
On anyone, but see
I hear he’s doing just fine
Perhaps the problem lies in
The double load I bear
I ripped myself apart and you just
Stood there
I’m counting the mornings
I wait to feel well
I might not feel as bad
But I can’t really tell
and I know that I’ll be okay
but it’s pretty far from a breeze
And I hear he’s doing just fine
It’s breaking me he isn’t mine
but at least he’s doing just fine
Without me
At least he’s doing just fine
Without me

See this. This is an ideal breakup song. Not angry, not over dramatic. Just bittersweet, especially with the last line: “It’s breaking me that he isn’t mine / But at least he’s doing just fine / without me.” You don’t break up for no reason. You break up so that both of you can be happier (though it stings at first), and I think that this song really conveys that feeling.

legit just broke up but definitely its for the better, i love this comment and this song

[@autopsydoll]

you definitely can break up for no reason and there are angry dramatic breakups, i dont even think ive had a bittersweet breakup

[@breakingthemasks]

Agree that this song is wonderful. Sad, but sweet. Disagree that all breakups are mutual, and done for good reasons. Give it time, a partner that you adore with drop you without warning, like garbage, with no explanation or closure... And then you'll see how wrong that part of your comment is.

This. Song. My husband recently left me and our two small children. And, behind the anger and the pain and the regret, I have needed space for this - the simple bittersweet...the sad, without being told I'm better off or trying to make sense of it. Just to be sad. It's somehow healing.

Rita Villar Parajó when your brain brings the hurt into your forward conscience, you have to tell yourself it is a day dream before your brain will play with the thoughts too much and cause you to hope, but hurt.

I think it means that you don’t let yourself daydream about the person you love because it gets your hopes up and that can only end with your hopes being dashed/you being let down and hurt

[@kathylyn5577]

Rita Villar Parajó It (can) mean don’t let yourself imagine about the “what if’s” (the impossible situations) like maybe said person will realize they still love me, etc. so don’t let yourself get your hopes up.

[@VTAnimation]

Strangely, this is the kind of song that pertains to having a crush that started dating someone else too. The world is now in this weird, tonal shift and you don't know what to do. Just feeling lost and hurt, angry and sad, delusional even. Song hits on more cylinders than one.

“Cause I ripped myself apart and you just stood there.” Also how the melody is beautiful and sad and somehow bitter. there was a study done that said men take longer to recover from a breakup than women do, they’ll be fine at first then stuff will sink in. Anyways thanks for the song. :) (Edited)

[@savana.sabertooth9010]

Yeah... As a man I can confirm this. I went through a breakup recently and I thought I was fine but then I sank in so horribly and she was fine already... I'm fine now btw.

[@TheDGomezzi]

This is because men tend to have less emotionally-close friends to lean on in the aftermath. They often rely on their gf for all of their emotional support, so when they lose that it’s really hard.

[@bianckinitan]

I don't think so because my ex already had a "person of interest" a few months after we broke up and I only moved on from him almost 2years after we broke up.

[@bianckinitan]

@@TheDGomezzi so I'm the man in our relationship? Because it was the other way around when me and my ex broke up. Lol

Funnily enough, my girlfriend and I just broke up after about 2 years, 4 months, and 27 days together - 880 days of sheer bliss with the love of my life; bliss with her and her beautiful face, body, hair, eyes, lips, personality... She was and still is, to me, in every way perfect - my first, my one and only. It ended because she told me she was gay, and, of course, I knew we couldn't carry on. But all is well because we were both best friends before, and we will continue to be best friends here on out, taking care of each other for the rest of our days if need be, giving each other our unconditional love and support - that is a promise. I'd just like to thank you, Dodie, for giving me something to listen to to make the experience a bit easier; keep up the great work and stay awesome, my friend. :) And if by some slight chance you might be reading this too, my love, then thank you for everything too - I truly mean it. You have given me so many things over the years, including a reason to live (that reason being you), that I could never repay you for it all. But I wouldn't have changed a thing about it, about us, for the world. Thank you so much, really; you are, and always will be, the best.

Nica Heyes sameeeee

[@sassycc1558]

yupppp same. But it gets better, I swear I swear 💛💛

[@patriciadoodles1040]

Oh, I feel you. I am also going through a breakup right now. Wish you the best,stay strong,it will get better !

[@-simplicity7551]

No breakup, but I still feel this song so much 💔💙

[@L_kid2]

Same it’s been nine days and my heart still aches whenever I see anything that reminds me of him

[@galacticat4272]

Just ended it with my boyfriend who've I've been with since 16 (am now nearly 19). I miss him so much but I know it's for the best. Just hurts so much to know we can't ever be together in the same way again, I really cherished that relationship. Feel sick to my core and can't sleep.

[@HappilyAfterEver]

Imagine being so talented to turn heartbreak into beauty. I could never.

[@LetMeExplainStudios]

Ow, my heart.

[@radiantrunaway8545]

Here are the guitar chords that I was able to figure out if anyone's curious: if youre playing on a normal guitar, just Capo on the 5th fret to match pitch. Verses go C, Em, F, C, E7, A7, D7, G.... the breakdown-ey prechorus-ey chords are Am, Am7(I think), A7 and D7. At the end of the first verse/chorus progression, at the, "and I hear he's doing just fine" shes playing an F and sliding it up a whole step to the relative note, which is a variation of a G. After the next versey part she'll do the Am breakdown over "Oh I'd never wish this feeling, on anyone but see" and then plays a C to a G over "Well I hear he's doing just fine" then back to the Am breakdown on "Perhaps the problem lies..." The big punch to the gut, "I ripped myself apart and you just stood there" is a G# bar chord down to a G... If you can figure out the mangled explanation of what I've tried to explain here, you can figure out the exact placement of the chords and where they go by listening to the song a few more times! Hope this helps! Thank you for another beautiful song Dodie!

[@samiya5413]

I’m pretty sure you qualify for being a genius... all facts 🤷‍♀️

[@KingOfWeird12]

@@samiya5413 Haha thanks but far from it, just an admirer of great songwriting :) Dodie has a video up of exactly how to play the song that she released the day after I posted this comment if youre looking for the phrasing too🤙🏼

[@Christ74e]

Thank you. You're a living legend!!

[@rosemc6263]

My dude you’re a god

[@-overdooo-]

That A7 in the verses should be an Am (or Am7 I can't tell). And that Am7 you put in the pre-chorus should be an C+ (it can also be thought of as an Am(maj7) since she's playing on a guitar and is probably still playing the open A natural below everything. The main idea is just that the A is descending chromatically to a G.) Nice work with the rest of the song though!

[@roxas7418]

I love seeing your progression as an instrumentalist :,). From the “She” guitar tutorial when you thought you couldn’t play, to these beautiful suspended and minor chords. LOOK AT THOSE CHORD CHANGES BRUV.

[@lydiabunszel8564]

this strumming pattern is so spot on for the vibe of the song i’m obsessed

[@sleepy.nanami2112]

Dodie,, I’m crying rn,, like a lot,, my bf and I of a year and a half just broke up and this is exactly how I’m feeling. You’re such an angel and I love you so much. Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift with the world, it helps more people than you’d ever know💕

[@dariabeldyugina76]

Awkward Lex I am kind of in the same exact situation, meaning I just broke up with my boyfriend of 1,5 years too. And I feel you, and I hope you and I will both be okay soon... sending hugs💜

[@sarahelizabeth2724]

I just broke up with my boyfriend of 2 years and im absolutely a mess. We will get through this 💕

[@madoodlidoot]

big facts. broke up with my boyfriend of 2 years, too. sending you guys and anyone else in the same boat all the love and virtual hugs i can give ❤️❤️

[@radiantrunaway8545]

Hey loves. Heard you're going through a rough patch.I know the feeling. But we can get through this together hun! Keep being you and keep smiling and cry if your sad because thats okay, if anyone would like to vent Im here to listen

[@kathylyn5577]

My girlfriend (of only 6 months but it feels like I’ve loved her all my life) just broke up with me and this whole song, literally every lyric just exemplifies every thought that has run through my head recently.

[@HimynameisAverie]

I've been crying about a best friend breakup to dodie songs for the past 3 years. How fitting that as my feelings gentle, the music does too.

[@annabelly3182]

HimynameisAverie we can struggle together. a best friend breakup happened to me not too long ago and this song is so close to how i am feeling right now

[@seankelley1878]

Not only the lyrics, but the inflection and emotion you can just *feel* is so perfect.

[@Smitten_nelle]

Starting from "oh i'd never wish this feeling on anyone" to the end represents me. Not because of a break up. But from rejection

[@wochenente6977]

Heartbreak from rejection can feel just as bad as heartbreak from a breakup but people expect you to pull yourself together and be fine much faster

[@ashmiller05]

Dodie always knows how to express feelings so well, just what we needed in quarantine.

[@caitie_pagonis]

this is my first time seeing this. if i had heard this 3 months ago i would have been sobbing till i couldn't breathe. i still cried, but i think this is called healing. :')

[@imagination.junkyard]

This song... Somber, with a hint of hopeful. A soft and fluttering melody. It gave me chills. It's beautiful.

[@a1frado]

“it’s breaking me that he isn’t mine” wow felt

[@anastassiae4892]

Every word of this song pierces the depth of my heart with small pieces of ice while your warm voice melts them, leaving emptiness in the places they were...

[@ainoriekkola4129]

dodie really do be serving us during these quarantine times ✨

[@kendralafreniere7655]

I broke up with my boyfriend on New Year’s Eve because we wanted two different things out of the relationship. Two and a half months later I’m still heart broken about it but there’s something really comforting in knownjng that the person I love, even though he’s not in my life anymore, is happy, even if it is without me ❤️ love the song Dodie

[@sassycc1558]

Kendra LaFreniere I promise you will find new love again. It’s gonna get better, I promise I promise 💛

[@resabrown9136]

That is such a big move. I'm glad that you have come to terms with the idea of being broken up. And being bitter about it is going to do you no good, I hope you are happy sweetheart. ♡

[@vaze791]

The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too. E.H

[@ariellaweiss5170]

imagine breaking up with someone then finding a song they wrote about it/you lol. great song dodie!💕💕💕

[@RJ1J]

This is a true thing that happened. Sky Full of Stars is (one of many) break up songs about GP. It has just come out, and I was singing it to myself as I walked to a store (This was in Malibu) and guess who walked right past me as I was singing it? The Goopster herself. That was weird asf.

[@teciitooo]

i really hope this ends up becoming “something” as i literally cried while listening to this song. as always, your voice is amazing, and so are your lyrics! 💕

[@SeerOfTime577]

I love how Dodie grins at the end, like she didn’t just deliver this GUT-WRENCHING, BITTERSWEET MASTERPIECE.

[@_hellosari9388]

I just broke up with my long term boyfriend with ur "cutting ties" video. Now I'm sitting all alone in quarantine and just started to learn ukulele - I have a mission I guess. Does anyone can tell the chords?

[@ems467]

_hellosari its not on a typical uke cuz the instrument has 6 strings so i truly have no idea

[@neelamaxwell6841]

I wish I were good enough at the uke to know but 🤷‍♀️ sorry dude

[@laceythecorgi]

not gonna lie, this sounds like a 6 string ukulele... those DO exist, the pitch is higher than a guitar without a capo. The chords look interesting... awaiting for someone to comment them, I can’t figure it out.

[@brook-lynsherbo3205]

Emily Dominguez if you count the strings, there is 6

[@nikkiiwithani]

@@laceythecorgi is it a guitarlele? Cuz that would make sense that it sounds higher than a guitar because a guitarlele = a guitar capoed on the fifth fret

[@keelybo7324]

'i ripped myself apart and you just stood there' that shit hit DIFFERENT

[@scherzo7224]

This is beautiful. I’ve never heard this song before but yet it brings back a sense of nostalgia that makes me wish we were in the old days again.

[@isabell6964]

I saw a comment saying "Just fine (without me)" would be a good title and I agree 100% I'm in awe of how you can whip up such a beautiful song just like that, absolutely loved it ❤

[@diharaj5358]

"I catch the daydreams before hope settles in" dodes I'm a maladaptive daydreamer and I can't friggin stop daydreaming, teach me your ways lol

[@Em-sm5mn]

GIRL I NEED YOU TO RELEASE THIS AS A SINGLE!!

[@YourCrazyOverlord]

Welp, that destroyed me. Really do want an official release now; this song is genuinely incredible, let alone for something written in one day

[@danivee8572]

i am begging for this to be put on spotify

[@vanessarodrigues717]

The way dodie says "saturday afternoon" melts my heart. It's so adorable

[@nancejames]

she is incapable of writing a bad song. this is perfection, dodie

[@sophiegrimaud9957]

I love this and I will be heartbroken if it doesn’t come out as a single :(

[@corduroytm]

This came out when I went through my first, and only ever real breakup. I listened to this for the first time while I was in the bath (ironic) and I just cried and cried. Still one of my favorites and I'll always be hoping for a real release

[@1ynne622]

*14 seconds ag-* -I’M HERE.

[@sophieduren55]

dodie pls i always come back to this song i need this on all my spotify playlists

[@valerievention]

Just got out of my first serious relationship after being together for a year and 5 happy months This is exactly what I needed to hear; something to relate to

[@morgancloutier5908]

We all needed a pandemic to realize how creative we can be. Everyone is being supportive in this time. I’ve been really productive but also very creative.

[@radiantrunaway8545]

Hey I just wanted to say your profile pic is beautiful
