"I hope you're as happy as you're pretending." so simple, but so heartbreakingly powerful...
That statement doesn't make sense though. If she's pretending to be that happy she therefore isn't happy.
HamNediaj Its saying that ultimately he hopes the she is happy now, because she was pretending then. I guess it makes sense if its this way, that's how I see it.
"I hope you are as happy as you were pretending." kind of thing.... and clol159 I totally agree... TT^TT
+HamNediaj The lyric never says or implies she is happy. It's more like, I know you're pretending to be happy, but I still want to hope you are actually as happy as you look.
***** The whole point of the lyric, He sees her being "happy" yet he knows she's not really happy. Yet he hopes she is actually happy because he wants her to be happy.
I think he is just speaking as an insecure person that likes to believe someone is truly happy but deep down they arent, but he wishes they were that happy person as they may pretend to be.. He is more saying... Like i hope you are truly happy as u might be pretend to be, to try and make me think i am making you happy so you dont get sad??? That''s my opinion.
i hate it because i want to go back to the times i used to listen to this, everyones grown up now everyones an adult and i just feel stuck in the past. the memories i have will always be with me, though
I just turned 28. This is when you start to say 'remember when' alot and that's when you feel like you're officially growing up. It's never too late to change your situation and keep making awesome memories.
Everyone has that song that takes them back to a time in their life. It doesn't necessarily have to be a particular significant moment, or even a moment at that. It could just be a feeling, a specific feeling that you had in the past. And in that moment, we begin to relive all the moments and all the feelings we had at that period of our lives. For me, this is one of those songs. It wasn't like an anthem or anything and I didn't listen to it because of a break up or what. I just really liked the song and the band and felt the emotions that they were trying to convey in this song. Now, whenever I listen to it, I feel those emotions again, but I feel them as if I was my younger self again. And in turn, I am transformed back into my past self. All the hopes and dreams I had, I feel again. What's sad, however, is I know it's all in my mind and that my my hopes and dreams are but a distant memory.
Not sure if you'll ever read this, but you captured the feelings this song evokes perfectly.
This was my first Dashboard Confessional song. I heard it over the loudspeaker in a Walgreens of all places. Who knew a pharmacy could help me find one of my favorite bands?
I was watching a video & the creator randomly said "screaming infidelities" & just moved. It threw me & sent me here. I was OBSESSED w y'all back in the day & this song just chases me throughout my life. I literally did an English project incorporating your lyrics to this song, while going through one of the many breakups I had w my high school sweetheart. Idk what it is but this song is simply a part of me. Thank u for putting your music out into the ethers. It's all still incredible & relatable to this day
I fell in love with this girl and she was perfect. She didn’t feel the same and is now with another guy. I tell everybody I’m over it but truth is it’s been nearly a year and it hurts everyday. I’ve been depressed for God knows how long and this has only made it a million times stronger. I go to church and listen to metal and emo music and it’s helped a bit.
I hope you're feeling better mate, a broken heart can be one of the slowest wounds to heal
Time does heal everything and we eventually you'll find someone who is looking for you. Try and put them out your mind and make yourself better. My best gym gains were directly after breakups. Good luck and you can make it
The guy who plays drums in DC is a beast
The worst part about this song is it was mine and my girl’s song during senior year of high school. That was more than ten years ago and now she isn’t with us anymore it just leaves me gutted.
Funnily enough my ex introduced me to this song through the mash-up with Brand New.
Ironic how I've been listening to this song since we broke up.
This song for me feels symbolic because the girl i loved was toxic and she knew it and didnt know how to fix it. Sorta wish you could help her but she did unforgiving things when we were together and then we decided to make unforgettable choices in the end or as we continued and this song just hits home with almsot everything i feel. "Im missing your laugh how did it break? And when did your eyes begin to look fake?" That line just brings memories from When we began and it was innocent and a great relationship. If only we made better decisions together it wouldnt have ended up like this. I miss her and i just wish i knew if she misses me too.
This song was in a Denny's Twitter post and i just had to come back and listen to it again. It's been a long time.
Always gotta love dennys they clearly don't fuck about. Props to them for having good taste and tasty food.
Crowder OMG I freaking hate you for this💀 Dude, Steven's testosterone pumped that parody all the way up❤❤❤❤❤
Makes me so sad, I remember when I was in high school, break ups sucked. Im going on 23 now, and they aren't getting any better. Relationship are full of pain & heartbreak. Heartbreak isn't something that happens once, sometimes its daily, sometimes she breaks my heart every day just a little more :(.
Justin Soeum ....lol so true and they get worse and worse. You made my day with that comment... lol😂😂
"I am alone, In my defeat I wish l knew you were safely at home" is about the point where I broke...
My favorite dash song along with remember to breathe
Song makes me sad . My first love played this to me when we were going threw a hard time . After we got back together he was killed . he wrote this whole song on a sheet of paper and gave it to me i still have it . rip Miss you
Alexandria McNally I'm so sorry to hear that :( just try to be grateful about the good times you had together. that's how I get through those feelings
+C. Campbell thank u everyone its took time but im doing better
Wicked Lovely gave me the incintitive to try out this band years ago and I still love them
I heard a song the other day that took me right back to my early 20s and lots of good times! But those memories eventually led me to bad ones of getting separated with my now ex-wife so I had to look up the song because the lyrics are very precise to how I was feelings about her then
This song can turn anyone emo
I can't wait to see them play this song in Holmdel NJ tonight!!!!
2019😊 i super love this song
omg! the song was awesome!!!! >.<
love love love it! :)
Everyone so sad about break-ups.
Now, I'm 19 and I never had one.
I've never been in a relationship. That's sad shit.
holly shanks don't do it unless you know you don't wanna be with anyone else. If you have any got feeling about it being wrong don't do it
I hope you're as happy as you're pretending.
I just got so lucky and heard this in Central Park NYC it was so magical and sad
Love this
The Quiet Screaming- The Legion of Doom
Gives this song so much more edge!! :)
you can really feel the emotion of being left behind.
Only the biggest soppiest tears will do for this song.
The first English song I heard in my life after Linkin Park in the end :)
Dam. I forgot how amazing this song was.
Their lyrics are so poetic.. :)
Wow, never realized how many DBC songs I actually like.
Good video, good luck on making more =)
I'm 28 and this song still hits me so hard especially with my.divorce
andrew dyke so I’m about 10 months late here but chin up, dude. Love may become lost but it will always be found again, if you are ready to have it again. Look to the past, feel the now, but hope for the future. Stay strong.
I haven't seen my crush today and here I am 😂😂😂
Kidding aside, this never gets old. :-)
March 27, 2021
best song ever.
I'm missing your bed
I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak,
And this bottle of beast is taking me home
I'm cuddling close to blankets and sheets
But you're not alone, and you're not discreet
Make sure I know who's taking you home.
I'm reading your note over again,
There's not a word that I comprehend,
Except when you signed it
"I will love you always and forever."
As for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs
And sit alone and wonder
How you're making out
But as for me, I wish that I was anywhere with anyone
Making out.
I'm missing your laugh
How did it break?
And when did your eyes begin to look fake?
I hope you're as happy as you're pretending.
I'm cuddling close to blankets and sheets
I am alone
In my defeat I wish I knew you were safely at home
I'm missing your bed
I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have speak,
And this bottle of beast is taking me home.
Well, as for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs
And sit alone and wonder
How you're making out.
But as for me, I wish that I was anywhere with anyone
Making out.
[X4]
Your hair, it's everywhere.
Screaming infidelities
And taking its wear.
YOU'RE WELCOME!
So messed up sad when dashboard is singing all about you still a great song will always love it
Back when you couldn’t just look at social media to see your ex.... it was really over back then lol. I miss that
My girl loves this song.
Louder with crowder brought me here... "you leninist creep"
He has a surprisingly good singing voice, lol. The lyrics were a bit weird, but I guess that's what you get when you make a parody.
@@dominiquepopinski4675 it seems that you put a question mark at the end of your comment but the letters that you published are not arranged in such a way that they would make a statement or initiate an inquiry. there seems to be some miscommunication coming from your end
My fave childhood memory
And now I'm listening to this. Next I will look at my old class picture.
The typos and incorrect lyrics in this are painful :(
It is, but it is time period accurate, as texting was all like that back in the 2000s.
@hundoakdov its a figure of speech as in its taking its place, its propper english
Screaming Infidelities > Hands Down & Vindicated
Your hair is everywhere, screaming infidelities and taking it's "WEAR". Not WAIR btw
W A I R
2020!!
Did you bump up the drum track? Because man that's some bad assery
I thought it would be goodbye forever.. but here i am.
i was like 16 when i heard this but now im 20, i wonder what it was like hearing this when it first came out
Wair? wait one second while i look for my dictionary! :)
Reading all these comments from the older generation makes me want to live in that generation. Damn, I'm 16 and what the fvck happened to music. I wish I could attend those concerts like from before. I WAS BORN IN THE WRONG TIMELINE.
I’m 28, and believe me I feel the same way. My teenage years , this kind of music, was the last genre of real stuff, and back then I didn’t know it.
I miss you kuya glenn 😭😭😭
Wair (N.) - A plank 6 feet long and 1 foot across. So THAT'S what her hair is taking.
"I hope you're as happy as you're pretending" ♪ ♫ :(
Cuddling close to blankets and sheets🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃😭😭
where is the original video of this song? i cant find it anywhere :(
taking its wear
@XDpeaceout That's freakin' hilarious.. I haven't listened to this since my girlfriend in highschool like 8 years ago, and Cyanide and Happiness brought me here too hahaha
When did this come out??
I brought myself here. Chyeah how about that one?!? Lol.
What is a wair?

@luvmygabie68 ,
You should check out J.Mascis from Dinosaur Jr acoustic, it's a disc called "Martin and Me", it's GREAT !
Soooo tru
what does wair mean
Donald Lo,, idiot that made this should have written "wear" ( like its wearing him out)
I haven't had a bottle of beast for a loooong time. here's to drinking shitty beer in high school because your girlfriend broke up with you
I love its slow for ex girlfriends who kust dont get it
*you're
*you're
goddammit.
i wish that i was anywhere with anyone making out....
Taylor swift's photo brought me here :D
This song is such a kick in the gut
I always thought he said “bottle of paste” like he was huffing glue to get high and feel not so sad
lol i hear drums in this song. so now i'm confused.
Uhm.. The word "wair" is a noun that means a plank 6 ft long and 1 ft across...
Sorry to be a stickler...
cyanide & happiness brought me here lol
@robottuxedo yeah i think she spelled "wear" wrong
I miss you kuya 😭😭😭😭
melissa marr brought me here from her book "Wicked Lovely"
'Where we'd have to speak', I thought it said?
I read a story on how a girl lost her virginity to this song. Awh, I want that now. GOALS.
For the algorithm
Donia 💔

As a teen in the 90's I thought breakups were bad now I'm watching my daughter go through it and it's tearing my heart out.
I dread for this day to come with my daughter... I hope things are good now for you both!

As a father of boys, I can't comprehend how you do it. Props to all the fathers with daughters.
