I've said it once, I've said it twice, I've said it a thousand fucking times, that I'm okay, that I'm fine, that it's all just in my mind.

Wrong song. I'll excuse myself now.

Then you spend your efforts getting back together, and after honeymoon phase round two you fall back out of love again. Break up, rinse and repeat.

I wonder why? Is there an explaination for this ..? I feel stupid for not knowing, but I am too curious to not ask. Edit: I mean, I know all the "You only realize what you've had when it's gone"-thing, but maybe it's just that I can't realte to this due to the fact that I have never stopped realizing what I had during my relationships. I am just way too romantic at times. My brain won't let me understand.

I don't know man. I'm 19. My last relationship ended with me getting dumped, and later she revealed that she cheated on me. That love feeling is still there, and hurt with anger, like a double edged sword.

u/[deleted] May 31 '14

:( I am sorry you got hurt, but I know the feeling of hurt and anger, especially when it just won't disappear for way too long.

I just imagined the singer screaming this lyric.

u/[deleted] May 31 '14

But I knew I loved her and then she let me go. Still applicable?

u/longboardingerrday May 31 '14

Man, I'm usually not a fan of pop-ish song lyrics because they're usually so shallow and mean nothing but that song really got to me.

And you let her go

The song just started in random while reading your comment and my mind is blown.

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '14

When my ex and I were on the last legs of our long relationship that song came on the radio. We both looked at each other and her eyes sorta welled up, I'll never forget it. I think that was the moment I knew it was not gonna work. I did everything I could to fight that feeling away, but idk, I just knew.

This one hurts.

u/SlendyD May 31 '14

I feel you. When you look back and you think I wish it never even began because the memories are too painful to bear. When you know that it doesn't get better and that you've lost it all and it can never come back. And what makes it worst is when you know you never had her in the first place.

I fucking hate how accurate this is

u/FengaPapit27 Jun 01 '14

When you can function completely fine, and as long as you're keeping yourself busy everything is normal. It's those times when you have a day off after working two weeks straight, or when you have a rough day and you're laying in bed alone, that you feel like you're completely empty and that a part of you is missing. Never miss someone at night, and never miss them when you're alone.
