"Now, I can't seem to remember why we ever felt we had to say goodbye."
DIDNT EXPECT THAT I'D BE THIS HURT
Rea Salise ME NEITHER😭
Grab some Cheetos and a beer, you'll be ok!
Tears suddenly fell from my eyes
@@jyusatsu same
John B mood 😭
This song feels like the moments you remember someone who isn’t with you anymore and you’re trying to remember why things are different now and you wonder what that person is up to.
It’s kind of sad to think about because I’m reminded of a friendship that I lost but I don’t think I could’ve done more to have kept it.
Edit: 2.5k likes 🥺 I’m sorry y’all are hurt just as I was. Hoping y’all are better💕
A Walking Innuendo reading what you wrote n listening to the song at the same time gave me goosebumps n tears n my eyes.
I feel this pain so so much. I think my friendship was better off losing but I still wonder about them
Same. Dated a guy for 7 years. and he doesnt want anything to do with me. I just hope hes okay. Scared the next time ever see him again is when he is dead
The only problem I have with Hayley's music is that the actual instrumental doesn't fit the lyrics. The lyrics have this very sad undertone and you don't get that from the actual music, it's too upbeat, a lot of her songs have this problem.
Brian Patterson most of after laughter is that way. I can’t speak for herself but maybe the actual instrumental is the light in these dark situations she’s gone through. Not ever sad song has to sound sad and maybe those aren’t the emotions she wants her audience to feel :)
I just hope she gets to feel the love she deserves.
Listen to Crystal Clear 😊
Cough *taylor*
omg what are u tryna saayyyy
@@psycherevivedby what do you mean??????
I’ve been streaming here since simmers release 😂
The piano just makes the song more emotionally raw
I love that you can hear her pressing they keys and moving around, and I can imagine her sitting there with her eyes closed, just taking it all in.
Yessss. The sounds of the piano and the seat and all that. I love it! It made me decide to transcribe it so I could play it on the piano myself. So gorgeous 😍
With the piano and drums there, it has a very tøp like vibe.
That piano indeed... Oh ......💔
true story
Hayley: here is the new so-
Me: I love it
-i wanted to add this. This song became very special to me, especially "sorry for freaking out" part bc I had the same situation so close time. He didn't want to "say something warm" I just wanted talk about it. Its the deepest feeling seeing someone unable to talk their feelings. Sorry for freaking out. Sorry I had to leave.-
relatable
HAHAHAHAH same
S.A.M.E.
@Jean de Sinclair she didn't improve??? Seriously? She opened her special life in lyrics and she talked about her mental health for help and she did! İf you have negativity don't walk around because now she is spreading everybody good vibe.
@Jean de Sinclair I didn't say shut up but at least be kind who is trying to make something new on her own. I'm wishing you a good quarantine.
it’s like me and Hayley went through the same phase. And now i’ve got songs that take me all the way back. Damn, that rawness in her songs just hits different than any other artist’s!
kama paprika I can relate sooo much!
androniki koulouri ελληνάκι 😚
kama paprika χαχα θεα μου! Ούτε που το παρατήρησα, sending my love 💜
androniki koulouri πολλή αγάπη πολλή 💓
After Laughter did this for me, i was going through some sad moments and it related in a way no album has ever done for me. Hayley is one of the realist artists around....
This song is about hayley saying "sorry" even though she's the one who is in pain.
I'm sure they both are
@@Labyrinthine_Complexities hes apparently not. hes already getting married. he cheated, not her. he might have regret
@@doiehan low-key I don't think this is about Chad... I think it's about Jeremy... (or some kind of old friend)
@@cesarsalad321 who knows
That’s really sad
This feels like a sunset in my ears
Whoa beautiful 😍
@@starisesun7692 Thanks!! I never get complimented like that
YES agreed
omg that's it!! That's what it feels like
"Sorry for freaking out."
How I feel knowing I hurt somebody unintentionally after an episode. The guilt of it is just overwhelming. I felt the brokeness when Hayley sang that line.
SAD
Me too, it's hard to have it happen and trying not to use it as an excuse, theres so many added things and conditions to it
@@poppypineapple9885 Whenever I apologize to people for it, a part of me feels guilty knowing that I could lose myself and it could happen all over again, even if I'm trying so hard not to fall apart every single time.
Yours is probably the accurate take on it, but I relate to it a different way - when someone worries about some habit of mine which they might think is not healthy, and I'm just like... I'm sorry you freaked out, but don't overreact, let me keep on living as I am.
@@darthpedra817 i get you. In my case its self harming. Sure i know its something making them worry and i feel sorry for making them feel that way. But its not like they should be thinking of it on the first place.
“I spent the weekend at home again” never been more true
So true, godammit Corona vírus.
Hugo A. Fact... Hayley’s music is keeping me sane rn.
@James did you take your meds?
@James Haha well, that's nice from you cause you still had the chance to say something mean and you chose not to.
Ok so I do believe that there are so many things that can fit the situation, but also... I do believe that life is all conected in a way that you can always find patterns and coincidences. Maybe this could be all planned but at the same time.. to be so sure that Hayley's beatiful art, heart and music is part of the whole conspiracy.. mmh... I feel something totally different when I look and listen to her. But hey, I'm also not looking for signs to confirm a theory. I'd say its a good thing that you question the situation, keep doing that, but don't let that distract you from beautiful things that could actually mean something else. Just my advice :) There's always thousands of people who spend the weekend at home always and talk about it, I bet is not the first time someone mentions it. What you say about people planning this could be true, but what I say about it being a coincidence many times, could be true also.
James well hailey seems pretty independent in all these things she has been posting. Anyways, in the end we are humans and we are naturally curious. You can do that, just set aside some time of the day to enjoy art and not think about anything else, most of the good things we enjoy today maybe came from a bad intention of someone in the past and we don’t even know it, so we already do that. Keep questioning, but don’t let that interfere with your own mental health! Art is important for that. Have a nice day :)
This song just gets me. When she starts playing the piano at 1:54, and you can hear the keys lifting and the bench creaking, I had like goosebumps, because it sounds just like my creaking old piano that I play when I'm in a slump sometimes. Just such a beautiful song . I think if I had heard this song in 2016/2017, it probably would have destroyed me.
That's my favorite part. It makes me so relaxed
I am not sure whether you will be able to find it on UA-cam but a month or so ago when Hayley was doing Instagram live's her and Joey played this, better than the sunday session video they put on YT with a extended outro with the piano. Even more amazing!!
Being able to hear the keys lifting makes for such an intimate recording, this is without a doubt my favorite song on the EP.
you can also hear some birds I think, and her metronome!
It's almost been 3 years and I had never noticed this, until now, thanks to your comment. This gives a whole other context and meaning to the song, thank you!
Even if it's not the song's intention, singing this song feels like I'm talking to a past version of myself about my all my pains and feelings and eventually apologizing to myself for letting my soul hurt so bad.
It's beautiful how music can be interpreted in so many different ways.
I feel the exact same way. It's like she's singing to herselft, apologizing for letting herself or someone else hurt her. And I dedicate this song for myself.
OMG, I feel the same way!! , its wierd but yet, healing, a bittersweet feeling, but instead, I feel like I'm apologizing to Holy Spirit inside me for everthing in the past that i have done , what have i seen and feel and not making an effort to be better
Same here
The genuineness of this song reminds me of "Tell Me How" 😭♥️
Tbh it sounds like another song to Jeremy
That's still one of my favourite ever Paramore songs 👍 despite how heartbreaking it is...

Big same
Ify ❤
I just love how Hayley had such a skyrocketing carreer with paramore and is still a really famous artist and even though all that happened she is still a normal person driving her own car and having normal peoples problems. That's what makes her so authentic and that's what I love about her music. Stay as you are, we love you exactly the way you are.
This 🙌🏻
Very true.
She is actually very relatable. I used to play in a band that covered her songs when I was a teenager in high school. She was a very fierce out there performer, and I love what has happened with Petals for Armour. How she has mellowed out, become introspective and talking about therapy in her interviews.
It’s funny because every day while I was living with my boyfriend during quarantine, I would go swim in the creek next door and listen to Hayley’s songs. At first Why We Ever was my favorite, but when Crystal Clear released I was in love. I realize now it’s because I truly could not relate to Why We Ever yet, and was in a happy relationship I felt made me relate to Crystal Clear more.
But in the end my happy relationship was a facade as I found my boyfriend in bed with someone else. When I hear this song something in me feels so much more raw than I ever have, and the emotion touches me more than when I had my break up. I feel experience makes us find beauty in more things, and I’m sad Hayley experienced this pain too, and many other people, but at least we are not alone.
i love how you put things. i'm so sorry you had to go through that, but i'm sure you'll end up with someone who truly loves and respects you. have a great day
this song came at such a perfect time. i’m in a phase where i keep losing people in my life, and i don’t feel like there’s anything i can do about it but accept it as it is. but sometimes, i tend to miss the other person and i just want to talk about why, and what happened? why we ever felt the need to say goodbye?
Just ask em if it is not too late, you've nothing to lose :) and probably the other person will be happy to hear from you
Are these people good for you? Are they helping you move forward in life and do they want the best for you? If so, they will be there for you in time but if not, then you are meant to find better people.
If it was a fallout with someone then you have nothing to lose when you ask them. If they dont respond whether it's you or their fault they were being immature about it and realize it's time to take that slow journey of acceptance of loss. Believe me I've been through it my bestfriend left me out of the blue after just one arguement and she never has spoken to me again, so I understand the difficulty of living on without closure
I hope you can use this hard time in your life as a chance to grow and become the person you want to be ❤️ I know it can be hard to see the bright side in troubling times, but eventually you will get through it and the pain behind it will go away, so in the mean time you should try to make the most of every situation.
I'm going through the same thing... and I just don't have the courage to ask them to be friends again. Just letting Hayley's music engulf me for now.
this feels so personal and raw. the fact that we live at the same time, however sad and confusing it may be, as Hayley is sharing this with the world makes me feel so special
Same
My god. This is tori Amos all over again. Love it
This is an extremely heavy one and I can feel every word she is saying. This is such a good emotional release.
This song is so raw, you can just feel the sadness on her voice. That’s what I love about Hayley, she can really put emotion into a song. This whole album is a conceptual masterpiece
This is so sad, felt like Hayley's tryna talk about her depression with someone. But that someone makes Hayley feel bad about opening up about her depression. That's just so sad
MUGIWARA 69 yup that’s exactly what I think 🤔
So real
Yes! And that's exactly what I'm going through now as well
I think that’s what rose colored boy is about
Not everybody can handle our demons or even understand what we are going through, or they would have to empathise. Empathise with the pain that we went through, only a wounded healer could speak to us about those things, Not everyone has the power to heal whatever things are happening inside of us, sometimes there are, sometimes we even want people to heal us even when they can't, to share the what darkness we have inside with them, but we are left alone to our own devices, our shadows are left outside the door whilst the other person is behind it, we don't know what they are thinking. Maybe they are guilty, maybe they are hurt, maybe they don't trust us, maybe they are ashamed, maybe they are shocked, they have gone, they have disappeared and we miss them so much. Emotions so powerful that no simple answer will heal the pain, no amount of talking or silence will make us forget that pain, but perhaps acceptance and understanding, perhaps forgiveness, perhaps introspection, nobody knows. We miss those we who love and had memories with, bittersweet memories of pain and love, of joy and sadness, and the person is at a distance. They are so far unlike when we were best friends. And they filled that void that was in us for a short moment, but the void kept growing, it grew so fast and we fell through and we can only heal and learn to live with that void that absorbs us, learn to accept and let go, to destroy and recreate ourselves anew.
If it wasn’t for Hayley’s new music, quarantine would’ve killed me by now.
Jean de Sinclair hope you’re grateful for that.
Nothing makes a person happier, more than a love of life! The love of life cannot be realized without understanding its value! The value of life cannot be understood without knowing its burdens! And only knowing her burden, you can say with confidence - I’m alive! With all the love for Haley!
2:07 What is the sound in the background here? Is it fingers coming off of keys? Whatever it is, I feel like it really adds something to the rawness of the song
It might be the sound of the carwash they're going through. The long flaps hitting and sliding across the window? Could be both. Sounds like it could be the keys sticking and coming up on an electric keyboard.
It’s the piano and the chair creaking. But yes, you can also hear her fingers coming off the keys too. Love it! So calming.
I think it's the pedal on the keys
Maybe the pedals on the piano
Key actuators from the Piano. That's because it's played quietly and microphones are pretty close to the actuators.
"I just wanna talk about it, sorry for freakin' out."
This part makes me feel so sad. Especially Hayley's voice saying "sorry". 😔
when hayley said “sorry for freaking out” i felt that
Same here big time
Letícia Tavares - You too!? 💯✊
me too
😔💔
I felt her feelings
I remember when this song was first released. Got me thru some rough days. Such a bop. Love this woman ❤️
For me, this song feels like two people got separated by choice because they simply chose to grow. They never feel the need to say goodbye because, at some point, they know they will gonna meet again with a healed version of themselves.
Edit: I just found out this album this month March 2024, and it was my first time watching all the videos. I am dedicating this whole album to myself, and someone very close to mine. Every song and every lyrics interpret my whole situation these days. Hahaha, It's very clear that the album is about Hayley's journey of healing herself, and as I watch this, Angel numbers just magically appear in her videos. Like this one total comments today are (2,22)9, 444k followers, 11-11 is date on the video.
Who else has played this like 100 times already? I feel as though every song of Paramore that has come out since 2005 when I was a teenager I have been able to relate to at each stage of my life, each song released at the perfect time. As an adult, it is amazing to still relate to albums such as After Laughter and equally relate to Petals For Armor now. Love from South Africa!
This is exactly why they're my favorite band. I always found it weird and at the same time amazing that their songs just come at the right time in my life and now even Hayley's songs hit me where it hurts. They comfort me during tough times.
I agree I love pretty much every single song
I feel the same. When ever Paramore released new music it almost felt like fate. Their music has helped me cry, yell, reflect, feel joy again and even light a fire in my heart.
isn't it incredible that we all have some degree of that same feeling? that as Paramore grew, we grew with them. They remain to be my favourite band and hayley my favourite frontwoman. I feel their music to an extent that I'm unable to feel with any other. They're special to us.
When after laughter came out I was going through a breakup and every song on that album somehow related to how I felt in the relationship. Despite breaking up we remained friends and though it was never the same, I felt comfortable. But the past couple months I just felt very confused and still hurt and I’ve decided I can’t be friends with this person anymore. This whole release of petals for armor has been really comforting and has been healing me. I’m just so grateful for Hayley for being there for me through such hard times (pun not intended) 🧡
♥️♥️♥️
After Laughter was there for me during an extremely painful break up too ❤ I'm glad her new music can be the same therapy for you now.
RayStunnaaa thank you so much :) hope you’re doing well
Hope u are doing okay during quarentine friend. I am in the same boat. Friends with someone who used to be my s/o is just too hard. And sometimes you need to draw a line (between wrath and mercy) for YOURSELF and not the other person. You need to be happy body and mind. If the hurt is too great best to let go even though it might hurt. It will hurt worse to carry them with you. Youre not alone! Take it day by day. You can do this! 🙏🏼😁
Im legit in the exact situation right now. Should i stop being friends? :(
This is my favorite Petals for Armor song so far. So touching. Recilience.
I always think of my ex-friends when I hear this song. We would walk to the gas station after school every Tuesday and I remember constantly listening to Petals For Armor in November last year, and i always remember how cold it was but also how much fun we were having, just fooling around and being kids. Now that can't happen.
Sucks when you need closure but the other person in the relationship wont give it to you
0nly_19 wow. That’s best way to put it. I really feel that.
Yeeep. And now she is getting married to someone else. Lmfao. Life
Philip Bridges she’s not getting married to someone else... who are you talking about?
That's the closure right there. It's up to you to make the decision.
@@francesgrovear the "you" from the inital comment which we all had to read in order to reply.
And to think 10 something years ago, Hayley sang the words "So why can't you stay just long enough to explain?"
Now she's the one who needs to explain, the one who "wants to talk about it".
Pretty sure When It Rains was written about a friend who committed suicide.
Bailee H yeah it was
@@baileebee3708 that's my point. The roles have changed. Now she's the one who needs someone to listen to her
Hate seems to always speak louder then positivity. But remember Haley you do this job for your life and for others. Do what you can, and fade those worries away step after another.
I didn't listen Petals for armor before because I really love Paramore and I wasn't ready to let go this feeling like band... I knew that Hayley's songs could be different, but reading comments, I feel especially this song like warm and like a hug. I really sorry for don't listen this album before, it's simply beautiful and clean, very honest and comfortable, no matter what. Maybe I wasn't ready for listening before, but now it's feels healing.
P.S. In 0:52 sounds like the Pool's begin in After Laughter.
joey's bass lines are killing it!!!!!
Yeah.... i know. He did well on this.
Emergency: "No one cares to talk about it"
Why We Ever: "I just wanna talk about it"
Probably an unintentional reference, but my fucking heart 😭😭♥️
Who know, she does have lots and lots of references to her old music in her new stuff. I wouldnt be surprised if it was intentional
Hayley looooves referencing past songs. She loves her Easter eggs. It might be on purpose but either way I love it
"I've seen love die, way too many times when it deserved to be alive."
I used to relate a lot with emergency when I was younger, still one of my favorite paramore songs.
Now that I got older, I see that there's nothing wrong to asking for help. why we ever is the PFA'S song that I see myself on the lyrics the most
coincidence? I think not. Hayley is amazing
This song is such a gem honestly.. it resembles that same emotion from AWKIF and it just brings nostalgia to me
I feel like she's definitely what an artist is supposed to be. She transits into a different phase of her life with every musical work. Really liked the drive-thru music vid
This song is still so beautiful and comforting. We're all lucky to be living in Hayleys world
this makes me think of an old friend i had and it makes me weirdly sad,,,,,,,,,,
same here, a weird feeling
SAME
sameeeee
💙
Same, it reminds me of my ex bestfriend
This one feels like it's really special to her....
How come whenever Hayley sings about something, somehow we’re all feeling the same way at the same exact time? 🤷♂️
I used to have this friend of mine that was once my crush, I mean best crush ever! And we've been close and became bestfriends for 4years. We've been traveling in our young age in highschool just the two of us and we were so happy together. Until pandemic came and everything changed. We never talk or call to each pther anymore for i think its because we are alreadu busy in our own. Right now I still misses her. I am still wondering if we can bring back the time that we had, but i think it wont happen again. The lyrics "how do you sound, what do you look like now?" Hit me. Cuz I dont have any news about her since then.
that outro is so simple but also one of my favorite things Hayley has ever written.
That carwash scene was oddly so satisfying 🥺
I love the album! For some reason it gives me a since of nostalgia. From first discovering riot when I was young and falling in love with this loud orange girl, to helping me escape my surroundings and depression in my pre-teen to teen years listing to Brand New eyes, and to now during my self discovery and healing process. Every pivotal moment in my life paramore and Hayley Williams has be there, helping me through it all. I can’t help but cry from pure happiness when I hear this album and hear her singing. So glad I get to feel like this band has grown up with me.
Que belo depoimento! Espero que você esteja bem atualmente!
1:23 that bass hook tho... I was playing that hook through the whole song in my head.
0:00 I ALREADY LOVE IT
Hayley Williams: *breathe*
Me: I think imma stan
so glad her and taylor are in such a healthy relationship now
@@buzzcutseason142 since like 2018
The view, those trees, it seems like a painting...so comfy
"I just wanna talk about it, sorry for freaking out"
- I really felt that 😭
The lyrics really hit hard but the vibe of the song is emotional with bursts of happiness? and I honestly love it? Yes. Okay.
That electric piano interlude before the bridge takes me to a deep, sad world.
After watching this I suddenly need an ASMR video called "Hayley Williams drives you home on a rainy night". Don't really know why. She just has that aura of safety about her.
PS. I've only recently listened to Petals for Armor and it's really damn good. Definitely my album of the year.
I absolutely adored Paramore and the music was/is always so true to heart... But I am really enjoying getting to know Hayley through her most recent music, and I appreciate her being so raw and honest so damn much.
A feeling we can all relate to. I'm really appreciative of this project and Hayley being so open with the world
I always wondered of some people that are not in my life anymore how they're doing ..and right now we're all living the same problem, cause back then when I was in a bad situation it was maybe just me and not them, but now after all I genuinely hope they're ok and everytime I decide to ask I think "are they thinking of me too? Why they're not texting me? Is it because they don't know how or they just don't care?".. and then I freeze.. I never understood how someone can tell you they love you or just be close with you and then they forget you to the point they're not worried if you're sick or sad or whatever, they just don't care..how can you erase someone like this?
Ikr.... it's sad and strange
I’ve never heard this before.. I’m balling 😢
This gives me "After Laughter" vibes 😍♥️
The writing process for this began around that era
Fun fact: Hayley sung all the songs on After Laughter
why do i feel like this song is for an old friend, it's good anw
I don't know why, but knowing most of the roads she's driving makes me happy and calm.
Do you know where are they?
@@kiwiverde8592 Yes, I'm from the same place she is lol
This is a certified hood classic
Why is this making me cry?? Why?
"Can't seem to remember why."
This is just so honest, and then there's a lot of sadness..
I just love the fact that you can hear the sound of the keys the piano makes. I'm so glad they left them be. I love the kinda "lo-fi" style the song has. Thank you Hayley.
Big Midwest vibes. Wow. I miss that part of the country.
for me, personally, this song hits the hardest than any other songs on PFA. i think the reason why i can relate to it so much is because i have realized how much i've grown apart from this person in my life. no matter how much i try to be there for him and try to re-live whatever the thing we used to have---it's just no use. "i can't feel ur energy no more" and then H repeatedly saying "no more" "no more" and the way it echoes. god it hits me so much. 💔 you might have that person that u want more than anything else in the world sitting next to you, they're so close, but yet they feel so far away. no more excitement. just silence and some awkwardness between the two of you. also the "try to keep myself from hurting, i don't know why anymore." it's like u used to have that sense of hope in your life but when that person's gone, there's just nothing. a void. everytime i hear that bridge something in me b r e a k s.
thank you, H, for making me feel heard and understood once again.
IM NEVER THIS EARLY. NOT EVEN FOR WORK.
I haven’t listened to the whole thing but I’ve already left a like because I know it’s a BOP
Dea Ferrer a bop, or therapy: a concept
With everything going on in the world, my mental state is slowly rotting away.
I can't help but feel this song is about wondering the old me. "I can't feel your [my] energy no more." 🥺😌😔
When she said " tried to keep myself from hurting " I felt that BIG time 😪
hayley realeasing music is the only good thing of 2020, thanks queen
Luiza Lima SERIOUSLY I TOTALLY AGREE high five 🙌
"Tin can telephone from your home to my home. I can't feel your energy no more." WOW
This song reminds me so much of the friendship I lost recently. Ironically, they got me into Paramore and Hayley’s music. And this is one of their fav songs.
Even though the lyrics do not correspond to my (love) life, I feel extreme grief while listening to it. Especially from the piano part on, I just start crying. I come here every once in a while just to cry, and it somehow relieves me. Thanks Hayley for making this happen, thanks for your music.
"BRING ON PETALS FOR ARMOR I'M SO READY FOR IT!!!!!!"
Hayley: No, you're not.
LMAO WE'RE REALLY NOT.
when hayley said “no more” i felt that
The moment she is driving in the dark... wow it looks just like the road I used to take to visit my ex and that was a real sucker punch in the gut. All of the emotions and feelings I had when driving to see her... Didn't expect to revisit that. So impactful.
Damn...
I tried to be like this after a break up but realised it was only ever me trying so I decided to cut ties altogether. I do still wonder sometimes why, but this song reminds me of that time in my life but I'm greatful because it taught me so much about myself and how I should never let someone take take take from me until I'm totally drained I learnt to look after me first! Put my self above the selfish needs of others or those who would use my good nature to their benefit then discard me like I was nothing. Thank you Hayley always related to your music in different moments on my life it's been my Therapy.
Quarantine has made me re-evaluate my relationship with people around me, the ones gone and the ones who have stayed but feel gone... This song is exactly how I feel about this. Thanks, Hayley. 🌺🖤
This hurt me in a way, that I didn’t know there was a place in me left, that could break. Felt every word and it took me back to that time, when I felt at my darkest. It’s incredibly, beautifully sung, written.
1:54 to end = pure genius. Easily the best track on the album
So true!
That really took me off guard. Wasn't expecting that at all, and loved it right away ❤ I'll definitely have to listen to the rest of her solo albums.
not sure how to describe it.. but this song made me feel again. thank you for sharing your beautiful imagination
[Verse 1]
Open your mouth
Say something warm
I've spent a while
On the stranger's side of your door
How do you sound?
What do you look like now?
I try to replicate our movements in my mind
[Chorus]
And now I
Can't seem to remember why we ever
Felt we had to say goodbye
I can't seem to remember why
Can't seem to remember why
[Verse 2]
Tin-can telephone
From your home to my home
I can't feel your energy no more
No more, no more (No more, no more, no more)
No more, no more, ha-ah
No more, no more (No more, no more, no more)
No more, no more, ha-ah
No more, no more
[Chorus]
And now I
Can't seem to remember why we ever
Felt we had to say goodbye
Can't seem to remember why
Darling we ever
Can't seem to remember why
[Bridge]
I spent the weekend at home again
Drawing circles on the floor
Tried to keep myself from hurting
Don't know why anymore
[Outro]
I just wanna talk about it
I know I freaked you out
I just wanna talk about it
Sorry for freaking out
I just wanna talk about it
I know I freaked you out
I just wanna talk about it
Sorry for freaking out
Sorry for freaking out
I just wanna talk about it
Sorry for freaking out
I just wanna talk about it
Sorry for freaking out
This year has been an eye-opening year to me so far. Most of my traumas came back bursting in my face and are the reason why I behave so poorly in most relationships I have. I don't try to hide behind excuses but to put an explanation to this. To the mess in my head.
This song made me cry. I can't say why. I'm blessed you released this song the day of my birthday.
Thank you so much Hayley for existing and helping me move on and become someone good.
💜
I want to be someone good too. Sometimes I think of Dostoyevski's Underground man who cries out to his lover ‘They won’t let me ... I can’t be good!’. Even if they won't let me, I will keep trying, thank you Hayley. For sharing, for trying to be a better person. Because a lot of us want to be better too and this music helps us access these memories and traumas and try to work through them even when there's no one to work them through with. Hopefully we all work through them, and those that don't have the opportunity can return to this beautiful representation of life through music, through art distilled into a precious song, a shard of a gemstone crystal that shines bright in the darkest of nights in a desolate and lonely desert. A memory, sounds, piano, voice, lyrics, melody.
I love this video/song for so many reasons. The overload/freakout; the feeling of an old "right people wrong time" to "wrong people right time." The driving reflecting both fun road trips and the surreal-ness of driving alone in the dark, crying because nothing is right.
Ignore me relating too hard
This is the song from this masterpiece of an album that I identify with the most.
I am a very shy person, and the only person I ever trusted in was him. My best friend. He moved out from our neighborhood 6 months ago and I remember that I really liked him, but I could never talk about it with him because we both come from very Catholic families, and to them being gay is a sin.
I remember listening to this song when he was about to leave. I remember crying to this song just because of the thought of him, and all of the beautiful things and places I could never have imagined I experienced with him. And I regret not saying anything to him sooner, out of fear of being rejected, both by him and by our families.
I admire Hayley very much for her willpower against the problems she has suffered, and for all her trajectory as a singer, and I thank her for sharing with the world her talent, her lyrics that inspire and motivate many people. From a small town in the desert of Arizona, I thank you, Hayley, for reminding me with your music of all those beautiful moments that life brought me. I love you very much, thank you for everything
So good to see a road trip footage while we're in quarantine times. Even better with a great sound like this one. Thanks, Hayley.
Oh my heart. These songs bring so much emotion. I literally just had these thoughts about a relationship. I reflect on so much now and have to remind myself why I chose to leave.
"have to remind myself why I chose to leave" ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Driving at night in the rain with this song playing. Like, damn, hits me right in my sentimentalness. Hayley you’re amazing.
That sequence starting at 2:47 all the way to the end of the video, seriously echos my thoughts whenever I'm having a sad and depressing moment and it really its me hard 😔
Cause all I want is to have someone who i can talk to "I just wanna to talk about it" and as person who sometimes gets immature i do kinda freak out "sorry for freakin out"
"Sorry for freaking out."
When I lost my mind for anything
The only music I'm ever on time for
I've listened to this song so much, but today it hit so differently. I've been having a hard time dealing with a breakup. I'm still coming to terms with why we broke up and how much it really affected me. Thank you for writing this.
The sound at 3:36 makes me feel so emotional. I am not sure why. It is just a beautiful sound.
0:01 already in love with the track
THAT CARWASH SCENE IS THE CLOSEST I'LL EVER GET TO SHOWERING
- go shower
Ew lmfao 😂
I keep coming back to this song. Rethinking my life.. and everything in it. Everyone. This song is the only treasure I'll keep with me.. My entire life.
This whole CD has been extremely transformative to my soul. Just left a seriously abusive relationship in February and this has been the best medicine to heal my heart. Her music is always so fitting for whatever I’m dealing with at the time. It just breaks my heart thinking of her broken heart. She is such a beautiful and amazing soul💜
