this reminded me of that when the party's over cover by that little girl when the tweet was like "when she said 'lakala mmm' i felt that" and now im CaCkLiNg
This song just breaks your heart when you get older and start thinking back to what you were doing and how young I was and how different life is now. Shit I thought I was reminiscing in 2016 when this album came out but now in 2024 it’s really different. No more parties like we used to do, not with your people like I used to be, and just like locked into working and just resting at home. One day you stop being those kids and you really are never those kids again and it just happens one day and you don’t even realize it.
wait till ya get into ya 50's when almost everythings behind you n ya by yourself @ 3am in the morning n songs from ya happy youth come on the telly,reminding one of past love n trigger you into realising how much of a beautiful thing ya had back then,it'll nearly kill you.
This was our song. I remember I would sit on my couch and play this song for hours by myself just because I knew she liked that song. I miss her. I’m literally drowning, tearing up in the gym while listening to this.
I never understood what it was that they were faking tho. Like the relationship? Because if so he would be saying that they didnt like him the same way. Right?
Even though it’s just a guitar and Frank’s vocals going for the whole song, this was beautiful. This song is a perfect example of how simplicity can be so powerful.
Lyrics I thought that I was dreamin' when you said you love me The start of nothin' I had no chance to prepare, I couldn't see you comin' The start of nothin' Ooh, I could hate you now It's quite alright to hate me now When we both know that deep down The feeling still deep down is good If I could see through walls I could see you're faking If you could see my thoughts You would see our faces Safe in my rental like an armored truck back then We didn't give a fuck back then I ain't a kid no more We'll never be those kids again We'd drive to Syd's, had the back seats back then Back then No matter what I did My waves wouldn't dip back then Everything sucked back then We were friends I thought that I was dreamin' when you said you loved me The start of nothin' I had no chance to prepare, I couldn't see you comin' The start of nothin' Ooh, I could hate you now It's quite alright to hate me now But we both know that deep down The feeling still deep down is good In the halls of your hotel Arm around my shoulder so I could tell How much I meant to you, meant it sincere back then We had time to kill back then You ain't a kid no more We'll never be those kids again It's not the same, ivory's illegal Don't you remember? I broke your heart last week You'll probably feel better by the weekend Still remember, had you going crazy Screamin' my name The feeling deep down is good I thought that I was dreamin' when you said you loved me The start of nothin' I had no chance to prepare, couldn't see you comin' And we started from nothin' Ooh, I could hate you now It's alright to hate me now We both know that deep down The feeling still deep down is good All the things I didn't mean to say I didn't mean to do There were things you didn't need to say Did you mean to? Mean to? I've been dreamin' of you, dreamin' of you I've been dreamin' of you, dreamin' of you I've been dreamin', dreamin'
“ _I thought that I was dreaming when you said you love me_ “ “ _If you could see my thoughts you would see our faces_ “ “ _You ain't a kid no more, _*_We'll never be those kids again_* “ 💔
makes me think of a friend that i’ve been friends with for 11 years. we don’t talk to each other at all, and it pains me. we pretty much grew up together and i get sad thinking about him. we haven’t spoke in about 2 years his birthday was in march and i wanted to say happy birthday to him, but he didn’t say it to me. looking back now i shouldve said it. i miss him.
@@r4hrh ah same here. My childhood best bud is not at all the same guy he used to be. I still follow him on social media but I don't think I could vibe with him anymore. I too haven't wished him a happy birthday in like 3 years now, I guess, and neither has he wished me. Oh well, life just goes on :/
This song always speaks to me, I feel like I have a big heart and when I give it to people they advantage of it, but I always remember them for what they are. I hear a song like this and all my emotions just pour out. Whoever is reading this, regardless of what makes us different (and yes, we are all different, that's what makes us human), I'm sending nothing but love and peace in your lifetime and I hope you have a wonderful life ❤
This song hurts me like 100 backstabs, I never lived a romance during my teenager ages and listen to this literally kills me knowing I will never return to these times. To all the teens out there, use your teenager times to love somebody and doing what passionate you.
Lyrics Frank Ocean - Ivy I thought that I was dreamin' When you said you love me The start of nothin' I had no chance to prepare I couldn't see you comin' The start of nothin' I could hate you now It's quite alright to hate me now When we both know that deep down The feeling still deep down is good If I could see through walls I could see you're faking If you could see my thoughts You would see our faces Safe in my rental like an armored truck back then We didn't give a fuck back then I ain't a kid no more We'll never be those kids again We'd drive to Syd's, had the X6 back then Back then No matter what I did My waves wouldn't dip back then Everything sucked back then We were friends I thought that I was dreaming When you said you loved me The start of nothin' I had no chance to prepare I couldn't see you comin' The start of nothin' (Ooh, ooh) I could hate you now It's quite alright to hate me now But we both know that deep down The feeling still deep down is good In the halls of your hotel Arm around my shoulder so I could tell How much I meant to you, meant it sincere back then We had time to kill back then You ain't a kid no more We'll never be those kids again It's not the same, ivory's illegal Don't you remember?

She liked this song a lot, she still does, but this thing is going to an end and i hope it dosent. Im still young and i know i will meet a lot of other people in my life , but I will always remeber this girl. Leaving this comment so i can come years later and remeber her.
everytime i hear this song i get filled with the emotions i felt when i was the girl that was obsessed with the guy that wanted nothing but the worst for her. he said he wanted the best for me but we both knew he didn’t care about me. i remember being so in love with him and not knowing why. i constantly forgave him when he would do the lowest of the lows to me. i apologized for being hurt by him because i couldn’t stand him leaving me alone. i would scream and cry his name and it’s funny the song says that too lmfao. i would always try to get him to love me again and speak to me the way he used to. i threw my self respect away and did anything i could for him to look at me and be in love. i wanted the old us back and i did everything i could to get that back. even if it meant i had to blur out my mental health and let him ruin me just so i could feel his love. i spent nights and days crying until i was physically weak. i look back on that and i really should’ve listened to everyone when they said to leave him alone. i let him ruin me and tear me apart. i loved the feeling of how he talked to me in the beginning and when that faded away i chased that feeling to have it in my hands again, but it got too far away from me. i’m now completely over him and healing and maturing in life so i will never life a situation like that again. don’t settle for being treated like trash. you’re worth more than anything on this earth.
when he said we’ll never be those kids again I was hit with existential crisis, honestly it’s so real. We never get to go back, we only have one life. There’s no way to rewind and relive your teen years :’(
Yeah I've been thinking about the same thing and it really kills me inside. Even though I was in such a bad state of my mind back then I still feel that I didn't feel this empty space inside cause I had her with me
This is song is so raw, so much emotion, ocean really put effort in this. We should appreciate how much work was put into this, frank really made sure we enjoyed his music... Ily frank
I love when those vocals come in. The ending tho lmao sheitt. I feel like if the beat came back in hard right after that last scream it would went so well! But he just ended it instead. And doesn't frank produce his own shit or no?
But that's why some couples treat the relationship as sacred to the degree which the people involved can get hurt. It's a degree of insight in which ethical behavior can be derived. Being honest with ourselves and the people we pursue so that we can date well and learn how to love.
Bruh it’s so complicated we have to do the first move but the girls don’t know nothing the only thing the know to do is say yes or broke your heart 💜 :-/
She didn't have to dream of you, you were there and stayed -whether or not you saw coming her love for you. In all its flaws and greatness, you shared love. To pass away loved is what we all want (more or less)
Throwback to fall of 2016, staying up late every night listening to this album and just questioning the direction of my life, zoning out for hours. Such a crazy, transitional time in my life that I couldn’t have gotten through without the support this album did, and still provides for me. Thank you Frank.
this songs gets me so emotional. even though ive been single for 3 years this song makes me feel like im in a special relationship somewhere in the universe.
When this album came out I was like 16, sometime in the 10th grade, I loved Frank Ocean and Odd Future as a whole, I went through a break up and I was heartbroken and this song specifically made me shed real tears. Now I am 22, going to be 23 in December, and I'm the happiest I've ever been with the most amazing person I've ever had the chance to share a connection with and here I am coming back to this album and this very song that made me cry out of sadness, now makes me truly appreciate the happiness I feel. Frank Ocean will forever be one of the greatest artists I've ever listened to.
It’s funny how we’re all listening to the same song but thinking about different people.. Ps: thanks for the likes! Didn’t think it would’ve gotten this much, hope y’all have a blessed day
my mental health has been shitty lately, I'm having trouble eating and have been emotionally stressed and overwhelmed and just deeply sad, listening to this song while just laying down and staring at the wall is one of the few good moments these days.
You will get through it. I dont even know you but i still believe your health will get better. I honestly don’t know if you’re reading this but if so i just want to tell you that i hope you get better. And i will probably never interact with you ever again so i wish you the best :)
AhH yeah... me too literally yesterday, now feeling better because a friend and I were talking about our own personal problems and how much we can relate... I'm trying and trying but I just can't pull on... it feels like fishing something to heavy that's really deep and I can't take it out
I still marvel at the fact that this man took shoegaze and dream pop influences, fused them with RnB vocal phrasings and melodies, added some incredible lyricism about self-discovery and identity, sprinkled in some ambient production, and went on to create one of the best “pop” albums of all time. Without a doubt, this is Frank’s lightning in a bottle moment
im a 2023 senior i’ll graduate from high school in 2 months and mentally i’m not ready for it to be over . a new chapter in my life and i don’t even know what my major will be. when frank said “we will never be those kids again” i feel like he’s speaking to my soul he knows exactly what i’m going through right now with all these changes going on and transitioning from a teenager to a young adult. im not ready.
I'm still in college now. And I tell you. You'll never be ready. So just go with the flow, dude. You're still young. Enjoy the learnings and the people. Just be present and surely, better days are coming.
Everytime I listen to Frank I can’t help but think about how much I miss her knowing that she doesn’t feel the same way anymore she’s lost all feelings for me. I always listen to Frank crying.
It will never be the same again with frank but he left for us is a true masterpiece an album that could never be replaced. The electric guitar at the back really makes this song so heart wrenching
This song reminds me of how I first felt when I met my first true love. I barely even talk to her anymore but holy shit everything comes back with this Update: I got in a fight with her and now we’re out of each other lives for good. This song has a brand new meaning now
This song doesn’t remind me of a girl. I get emotional because it feels nostalgic. It’s moving and makes me think of my youth and how simple the times were back then. What ive been through and the young man it’s molded me into.
I asked my crush to prom, and she said yes So, We had been close friends for about four months now and We are at prom together, we were hugged up with her head on my shoulder, my arms around her waist, her arms around my neck, this song is playing, dim blue and purple lights are above us, we’re rocking side to side slowly while hugged up still, my heart is pounding from how close we are and I’m pretty sure she can feel it, but I hurry up and make conversation before I even give her the chance to bring it up. I whispered in her ear “Kera, will you go out with me?” My heart then drops as I KNOW THAT SHE IS ABOUT TO WALK AWAY, but she still has her head on my pounding chest, she says nothing for about three seconds and then says “Of course I’ll go out with you Mars.” And I’m like “YES, FUCC YES!!” In my head, and then I responded with “okay” and I kissed her on the forehead and then a few more seconds of silence goes by between us and she says “Mars, I love you” and I am SHOOKETH and I didn’t say ANYTHING bacC to her for like ten seconds and she responds to my silence with “why didn’t you say it bacC?” While looking up at me, and since I’ve heard this song before, I waited for 1:15 to come on and I whispered in her ear with my soothingly deep voice and said “I thought that I was dreaming, when you said you loved me~” and I gently lifted up her chin afterwards and gave her a deep and romantic kiss, and afterwards, I opened my eyes and I see her blushing hella hard and she tells me she liked that and then I told her I loved her too and she smiled and we went bacC to doing our hugging shuffle. Prom was over, we went home, she stayed the night, we fell asleep, I woke up, and it was all a dream. Smh. If you made it this far and got fooled, enjoyed it, didn’t care, knew what was gonna happen or anything, then like this comment! You won’t even realize you did it! Thanks, bye guys and gals! ****UPDATE, AUGUST 1st, 2020**** Me and my crush who I speak about in this very true story, actually go out now and today (August 1st) Makes 8 months since we’ve been together, Sadly we didn’t do anything prom related like in the story because of Corona, but we love each other sooooo much, and plan to do more activities with each other!!💙💍💙 Peace Out!✌🏽 ****UPDATE, AUGUST 19th, 2021**** We broke up June 1st after dating for a year and six months.🥲
I've known this girl (X) for 12 years, we met at 2nd grade when I transfered to the U.S. She was sat right next to me, we became friends. I liked this other classmate, and asked her out. In 4th grade My 2nd crush and I broke (we didn't kiss or anything just hold hands at most) one of my friends told me "X" liked me, but honestly I didn't feel the same. So I kept it a secret as if I didn't know she liked me. I had her every year in elementary school since we were both in bilingual classes. We had classes, talked played, and laughed together until 6th grade. I had to move to a different middle school since I had to move houses. We texted every day for a while, all the way 'till 9nd grade. At times I used to go to her house (with other friends as well) and watch some movies. But always kept contact texting. I moved farther out the city during my high school. I texted her how I was falling in love with a girl (Y) and she texted me less and less. I went out with (Y) sophomore year in highschool. "X" didn't texted me for a while, but she asked me at times how was I, if I was happy and if I had any plans. My girlfriend "Y" saw her message one day and readed the whole conversation (it was around 4 years of text conversation so every once in a while X sended me heart emojis, cat faces, ect ) so "Y" got jealous and told me to stop texting "X" I stopped texting X for the sake of "Y" not breaking up with me. I kept in contact with my friends from elementary, My friend told X still liked me and she missed me but I didn't want to end my relationship with " Y". Time passed and Y cheated on me my senior highschool year. I started my freshman year in university, One of my friends from elementary (she was friend with X) told me to hang out with her one day and X was there. We were talking like never before, smiling and laughing. It had been a while since I felt relieved, we started texting each other again and hanged out often in my apartment. One day we planned on going out for a drink X, my friend, and I. My friend cancelled, so it was only X and me. We still went and had a little too much on alcohol, we grabbed a taxi to her house. She invited me inside (the house was alone) , we sitted on the carpet in her room and started joking around, X went under her bed and pulled me in. Under the bed, she smiled and I slowly approached to kiss her. We kissed for a minute and Until I realized it wasn't good being drunk and kissing her. So I got up and left on a uber. Next day I texted her that I was sorry and if she needed to talk with me or an apology face to face I would meet with her and tell her im sorry. At the end I meeted X at her house and We started talking, she went in for a kiss this time. Idk why but I felt in love right there. We started dating and life was good I swear. (At this year I heard about frank ocean) I was X first boyfriend ever. she treated me well,at this time I tought she was my everything. We went out for a year and everything was good for me. But out of no where she texted me that she wanted to break up . The most frequent question I asked myself was, why would she break up with me? She liked me a long time and now that she had me, am I not good enough? Well I was depressed as fuck, I didn't want to eat, stayed in my bed for a while. I listened to frank ocean and discovered this song. I putted in repeat hundreds of times asking myself why would she break up with me. I wanted to text X so bad but didn't have the courage to do it. I tried having rebound girl but that didn't work. I didn't know if I wanted X cause I couldn't have her or cause I really loved her. 2 years passed and felt better throughout the years, my parents helped me out with the depression and I've started to accept a life without her. My friend that was friends with X had her birthday party. I went and there she was, I acted as if nothing happened and talked to another group far from her. At the end of the party, X walked to my direction asked me if we could talk outside for a while. We chatted on how I was doing and what I have been up to this past 2 years. I told her minimum things but didn't asked her "why did you leave me?" We didn't even touch the conversation of our break up. A few weeks passed and she texted me if I had any plans. i said I was free and she invited me to her house to watch a movie, the movie was a spain movie (spoilers) about an old man liking her childhood friend but didn't end up with her because he was to busy studying to become a professor in math. At age 60- he already has kids with another woman in valencia spain but she's dead. He looks for her childhood crush and wonders around spain looking for her. The childhood girl /friend has a mental problem and doesn't remember him, he starts to have mental problems and end up in the same hospital at an old age and reencounter like their childhood time. (End of spoilers) X starts crying at the end of the movie, I didn't know what to say and didn't know if hugging her was correct. Her sister came to the house and the conversation changed. After I left that day we just kissed on the cheek and told each other goodbye as if nothing had ever happened (didnt even have a chance to ask her about us) yesterday X asked me if we could go out to eat. We hangout and drove around the cuty laughing and joking around. At the end of the day we hugged each other for the longest time ever. At this point Im not sure if we are just friend or if she wants something, does she really love me? Now im listening to this song again remembering all the years we have been together as friends and if its worth another chance to go out with her in a relationship or just keep being friend for more years to come. I really love her I wish I could change the past my school years and treat her better show her how much I love her. I wish I could marry her, I wish kids with her, I wish to grow old and laugh for more years to come. Here I am listening to Ivy on repeat. I wish her happiness but Im not sure if it would be with me. Hope one day I come back To this song with the real answer and sing for one last time "We'll never be those kids again"
I’m currently going through a seperation w my partner of 5 years and this song helps me feel everything at once. The pain, the pleasure, the bliss, the emptiness. I’m grateful to have experienced a love so deep and pure. I’m grateful to know that I am the source of love that is reflected back to me. We’ll never be those kids again but I will always cherish every moment. If you’re reading this I am sending you love through the ethers, I hope you remember that you are the love you deserve. Love always & love all ways, Rebel ❤
A fairly accurate way to sum up my last relationship. We grew apart, I hid behind "walls", I didn't treat her right, all the things I didn't mean to say/do, I broke her heart, in the end it might have been for nothing, but I won't forget her or everything we had. It was a good run and this song will always remind me of her (In a non romantic way). I hope she can find someone to make her happy, and I will keep working on myself and I'll wait for someone else when I'm ready. Don't upset over someone cause they're gone, be happy because it happened and you discovered new things about yourself!
zoeahz Me and my ex had a similar situation. I treated him wrong and he didnt deserve it. I didnt mean it but it didnt stop and eventually he got tired of it. but instead of breaking up with me he started hurting me back. what hurts the most is that we lasted over a year and the memories I made with him are the best. it's hard to let that go.
Everytime I hear this song I start to cry bc it reminds me of my first real love. I doubt anybody is ever going to read it, it is a long ass story, but I don't really have anyone to talk about with these things. I have friends, it is just I don't feel comfortable opening up about it in real life. I am 18 now moved out to study but when I was 15 I fell in love for the first time. The girl I fell in love with( I am german) was a girl at a neighbouring highschool, the thing was she was raised in a traditional turkish muslim family. This community is one of the closest related I have ever seen and some of them are really giving people from their own community a bad time of they do not obey the rules of Islam. I met her in a crossover project between our highschools and we practically started meeting everyday. At first we were pretending to ourselves we wanted to continue working on the project. Then it turned to us being friends, yet we never talked about the state of relationship we had. I guess it just felt right for both of us, it was a sense of mutual understandment and connection. We could talk about basically everything. Honestly dunno what it was about her, before I met her I never had a similar experience. Of course as with every other person we argued but it didn't ever matter at all, she literally gave me excitement everytime before meeting her. Beforehand, dating for me was about flexing, everyone in my friend's group needed a girl just to have one, therefore my first romantic experiences where disappointments. It felt like we're being pressured into something which didn't even feel right. Then she came and not only made me feel differently but made me mature as a person, the first (and to this day the only) girl I could totally open up to without having doubts or hesitation. Unlike any other girls I tried to hook up with, she attracted me in a unique way. I just felt crazily happy being around her, some warm feeling I cannot describe in words. So we continued hanging out together while I pretended to be her "learning partner" bc of her traditional mother. She was a formidable student so we always tended to use the time otherwise, thus we used to roam doing the stuff lovers do, sometimes even just going for a walk. We didn't need any fance stuff. It was the first time none of the rumours would have bothered in any fashion, it was just me and her against the world. Nowadays I can somehow feel grateful as well bc it was probably the happiest time of my life. One day, I remember it like it was just yesterday, this stuff between us was almost going for a year, there was kind of a key experience. It was the 7.7.2018, shit I've got it burned in my mind like it was yesterday, we climbed over the fence(Kind of a thing in our town) of our local swimming facility. We had certainly become somewhat more than just friends, but since I did not want to insult her family I had never dared to kiss or even touch her. Anyways, after we went swimming, it was a tropical night and while laying in the grass with her, she then came closer and began to kiss me. And wow, the rush we felt was better then Molly or anything I ever tried since. It was probably the most amazing feeling ever but even tough our bodies were craving for each other I could eventually stop before we had any inappropiate stuff going down. I suppose in my head I already knew her father would probably expell her from her family if we continued playing with fire. So after that there was only two weeks left until summer break and she started to behave differrently. At first, it just did not feel as natural as it used to feel, she slowly tried to avoid me. After a while, I figured out she confessed everything to her sister, who then went on to explain to me that I would destroy her life if I would continue "dating" her. I insisted on doing anything for her, I would even turn muslim against my catholics parents will. Her sister simply told me the family, especially the father would accept nothing but a turkish man. Nothing personal, just something that has never happened before and isn't wished for at all bc they are from a small conservative village somewhere in Anatolia where these rules apply until nowadays. Eventually her sister ordered her to fly to Turkey in summer break for 4 straight weeks so she could not make any stupidities. Her mother was extremly strict but in the first week after summer break she made it out home on midnight and dude how wrong I was, I even prepared a romantic dinner. She told me that feels like loving me but that she had to make a decision between me and her family. Her dad started to get suspicious too and asked questions on why she'd spend so much time with a guy in general, for them I was just a distraction. Obviously I don't really stand a chance against her entire family. I know this sounds like some studip romeo and juliet shit but this was the harsh reality. She also said that she would go on to another highschool in the neighbouring city bc I assumed or hoped idk she would break down if she saw me almost everyday having multiple courses together. She told her girls that she did not feel accepted which must be straight up bullshit because she was regularly hanging with half of the girls at her class. If there had been problems she would have told me for sure. And that was it. I tried to talk to her over and over again, but she just blocked all my attempts away. I texted her probably more times than I can remember, but she blocked me on every platform. At the end of the day, I had to accept her decision. It just wasn't meant to be man. Life's unfair
This shit he's singing about is legit. I had a girl all throughout high school. We were so close it was crazy. Then came college and thats where she drifted apart from me. I was the one who never stopped loving her. The conversation Frank is having with his ex lover in this mirrors my experience. "If i could see through walls i could see you're faking, if you could see my thoughts you would see your faces"...
Frank Ocean's songs makes me not want to fall in love but also fall in love at the same time
This exactly my story I love him but he never loved me back always treat me bad but he send me this music last week and I fly on air lol
YESSSSSS MANOMG
Don't fall in love, it only brings pain i swear to god

When frank ocean said “I ain’t a kid nomore, we’ll never be those kids again” I felt that in my spirit
this reminded me of that when the party's over cover by that little girl when the tweet was like "when she said 'lakala mmm' i felt that" and now im CaCkLiNg
Me too

This song just breaks your heart when you get older and start thinking back to what you were doing and how young I was and how different life is now. Shit I thought I was reminiscing in 2016 when this album came out but now in 2024 it’s really different. No more parties like we used to do, not with your people like I used to be, and just like locked into working and just resting at home.
One day you stop being those kids and you really are never those kids again and it just happens one day and you don’t even realize it.

Lyrics
I thought that I was dreamin' when you said you love me
The start of nothin'
I had no chance to prepare, I couldn't see you comin'
The start of nothin'
Ooh, I could hate you now
It's quite alright to hate me now
When we both know that deep down
The feeling still deep down is good
If I could see through walls
I could see you're faking
If you could see my thoughts
You would see our faces
Safe in my rental like an armored truck back then
We didn't give a fuck back then
I ain't a kid no more
We'll never be those kids again
We'd drive to Syd's, had the back seats back then
Back then
No matter what I did
My waves wouldn't dip back then
Everything sucked back then
We were friends
I thought that I was dreamin' when you said you loved me
The start of nothin'
I had no chance to prepare, I couldn't see you comin'
The start of nothin'
Ooh, I could hate you now
It's quite alright to hate me now
But we both know that deep down
The feeling still deep down is good
In the halls of your hotel
Arm around my shoulder so I could tell
How much I meant to you, meant it sincere back then
We had time to kill back then
You ain't a kid no more
We'll never be those kids again
It's not the same, ivory's illegal
Don't you remember?
I broke your heart last week
You'll probably feel better by the weekend
Still remember, had you going crazy
Screamin' my name
The feeling deep down is good
I thought that I was dreamin' when you said you loved me
The start of nothin'
I had no chance to prepare, couldn't see you comin'
And we started from nothin'
Ooh, I could hate you now
It's alright to hate me now
We both know that deep down
The feeling still deep down is good
All the things I didn't mean to say
I didn't mean to do
There were things you didn't need to say
Did you mean to? Mean to?

everytime i hear this song i get filled with the emotions i felt when i was the girl that was obsessed with the guy that wanted nothing but the worst for her. he said he wanted the best for me but we both knew he didn’t care about me. i remember being so in love with him and not knowing why. i constantly forgave him when he would do the lowest of the lows to me. i apologized for being hurt by him because i couldn’t stand him leaving me alone. i would scream and cry his name and it’s funny the song says that too lmfao. i would always try to get him to love me again and speak to me the way he used to. i threw my self respect away and did anything i could for him to look at me and be in love. i wanted the old us back and i did everything i could to get that back. even if it meant i had to blur out my mental health and let him ruin me just so i could feel his love. i spent nights and days crying until i was physically weak. i look back on that and i really should’ve listened to everyone when they said to leave him alone. i let him ruin me and tear me apart. i loved the feeling of how he talked to me in the beginning and when that faded away i chased that feeling to have it in my hands again, but it got too far away from me. i’m now completely over him and healing and maturing in life so i will never life a situation like that again.

Deep down we all want to be loved but at the same time afraid to get hurt or rejected. What a cruel irony.
But that's why some couples treat the relationship as sacred to the degree which the people involved can get hurt. It's a degree of insight in which ethical behavior can be derived. Being honest with ourselves and the people we pursue so that we can date well and learn how to love.
Bruh it’s so complicated we have to do the first move but the girls don’t know nothing the only thing the know to do is say yes or broke your heart 💜 :-/

I still marvel at the fact that this man took shoegaze and dream pop influences, fused them with RnB vocal phrasings and melodies, added some incredible lyricism about self-discovery and identity, sprinkled in some ambient production, and went on to create one of the best “pop” albums of all time. Without a doubt, this is Frank’s lightning in a bottle moment
You described it perfectly.

I'm still in college now. And I tell you. You'll never be ready. So just go with the flow, dude. You're still young. Enjoy the learnings and the people. Just be present and surely, better days are coming.

Everytime I listen to Frank I can’t help but think about how much I miss her knowing that she doesn’t feel the same way anymore she’s lost all feelings for me. I always listen to Frank crying.
It will never be the same again with frank but he left for us is a true masterpiece an album that could never be replaced. The electric guitar at the back really makes this song so heart wrenching
This song reminds me of how I first felt when I met my first true love. I barely even talk to her anymore but holy shit everything comes back with this

I asked my crush to prom, and she said yes
So, We had been close friends for about four months now and We are at prom together, we were hugged up with her head on my shoulder, my arms around her waist, her arms around my neck, this song is playing, dim blue and purple lights are above us, we’re rocking side to side slowly while hugged up still, my heart is pounding from how close we are and I’m pretty sure she can feel it, but I hurry up and make conversation before I even give her the chance to bring it up. I whispered in her ear “Kera, will you go out with me?” My heart then drops as I KNOW THAT SHE IS ABOUT TO WALK AWAY, but she still has her head on my pounding chest, she says nothing for about three seconds and then says “Of course I’ll go out with you Mars.” And I’m like “YES, FUCC YES!!” In my head, and then I responded with “okay” and I kissed her on the forehead and then a few more seconds of silence goes by between us and she says “Mars, I love you” and I am SHOOKETH and I didn’t say ANYTHING bacC to her for like ten seconds and she responds to my silence with “why didn’t you say it bacC?” While looking up at me, and since I’ve heard this song before, I waited for 1:15 to come on and I whispered in her ear with my soothingly deep voice and said “I thought that I was dreaming, when you said you loved me~” and I gently lifted up her chin afterwards and gave her a deep and romantic kiss, and afterwards, I opened my eyes and I see her blushing hella hard and she tells me she liked that and then I told her I loved her too and she smiled and we went bacC to doing our hugging shuffle. Prom was over, we went home, she stayed the night, we fell asleep, I woke up, and it was all a dream. Smh. If you made it this far and got fooled, enjoyed it, didn’t care, knew what was gonna happen or anything, then like this comment! You won’t even realize you did it! Thanks, bye guys and gals!

I've known this girl (X) for 12 years, we met at 2nd grade when I transfered to the U.S. She was sat right next to me, we became friends. I liked this other classmate, and asked her out. In 4th grade My 2nd crush and I broke (we didn't kiss or anything just hold hands at most) one of my friends told me "X" liked me, but honestly I didn't feel the same. So I kept it a secret as if I didn't know she liked me. I had her every year in elementary school since we were both in bilingual classes. We had classes, talked played, and laughed together until 6th grade. I had to move to a different middle school since I had to move houses. We texted every day for a while, all the way 'till 9nd grade. At times I used to go to her house (with other friends as well) and watch some movies. But always kept contact texting. I moved farther out the city during my high school. I texted her how I was falling in love with a girl (Y) and she texted me less and less. I went out with (Y) sophomore year in highschool. "X" didn't texted me for a while, but she asked me at times how was I, if I was happy and if I had any plans. My girlfriend "Y" saw her message one day and readed the whole conversation (it was around 4 years of text conversation so every once in a while X sended me heart emojis, cat faces, ect ) so "Y" got jealous and told me to stop texting "X" I stopped texting X for the sake of "Y" not breaking up with me. I kept in contact with my friends from elementary, My friend told X still liked me and she missed me but I didn't want to end my relationship with " Y". Time passed and Y cheated on me my senior highschool year.
I started my freshman year in university, One of my friends from elementary (she was friend with X) told me to hang out with her one day and X was there. We were talking like never before, smiling and laughing. It had been a while since I felt relieved, we started texting each other again and hanged out often in my apartment. One day we planned on going out for a drink X, my friend, and I. My friend cancelled, so it was only X and me. We still went and had a little too much on alcohol, we grabbed a taxi to her house. She invited me inside (the house was alone) , we sitted on the carpet in her room and started joking around, X went under her bed and pulled me in. Under the bed, she smiled and I slowly approached to kiss her. We kissed for a minute and Until I realized it wasn't good being drunk and kissing her. So I got up and left on a uber. Next day I texted her that I was sorry and if she needed to talk with me or an apology face to face I would meet with her and tell her im sorry. At the end I meeted X at her house and We started talking, she went in for a kiss this time. Idk why but I felt in love right there. We started dating and life was good I swear. (At this year I heard about frank ocean) I was X first boyfriend ever. she treated me well,at this time I tought she was my everything. We went out for a year and everything was good for me. But out of no where she texted me that she wanted to break up . The most frequent question I asked myself was, why would she break up with me? She liked me a long time and now that she had me, am I not good enough?
Well I was depressed as fuck, I didn't want to eat, stayed in my bed for a while. I listened to frank ocean and discovered this song. I putted in repeat hundreds of times asking myself why would she break up with me. I wanted to text X so bad but didn't have the courage to do it. I tried having rebound girl but that didn't work. I didn't know if I wanted X cause I couldn't have her or cause I really loved her. 2 years passed and felt better throughout the years, my parents helped me out with the depression and I've started to accept a life without her. My friend that was friends with X had her birthday party. I went and there she was, I acted as if nothing happened and talked to another group far from her. At the end of the party, X walked to my direction asked me if we could talk outside for a while. We chatted on how I was doing and what I have been up to this past 2 years. I told her minimum things but didn't asked her "why did you leave me?" We didn't even touch the conversation of our break up. A few weeks passed and she texted me if I had any plans. i said I was free and she invited me to her house to watch a movie, the movie was a spain movie (spoilers) about an old man liking her childhood friend but didn't end up with her because he was to busy studying to become a professor in math. At age 60- he already has kids with another woman in valencia spain but she's dead. He looks for her childhood crush and wonders around spain looking for her. The childhood girl /friend has a mental problem and doesn't remember him, he starts to have mental problems and end up in the same hospital at an old age and reencounter like their childhood time. (End of spoilers) X starts crying at the end of the movie, I didn't know what to say and didn't know if hugging her was correct. Her sister came to the house and the conversation changed. After I left that day we just kissed on the cheek and told each other goodbye as if nothing had ever happened (didnt even have a chance to ask her about us) yesterday X asked me if we could go out to eat. We hangout and drove around the cuty laughing and joking around. At the end of the day we hugged each other for the longest time ever. At this point Im not sure if we are just friend or if she wants something, does she really love me? Now im listening to this song again remembering all the years we have been together as friends and if its worth another chance to go out with her in a relationship or just keep being friend for more years to come. I really love her I wish I could change the past my school years and treat her better show her how much I love her. I wish I could marry her, I wish kids with her, I wish to grow old and laugh for more years to come.
Here I am listening to Ivy on repeat.
I wish her happiness but Im not sure if it would be with me.
Hope one day I come back To this song with the real answer and sing for one last time
"We'll never be those kids again"

I’m currently going through a seperation w my partner of 5 years and this song helps me feel everything at once. The pain, the pleasure, the bliss, the emptiness. I’m grateful to have experienced a love so deep and pure. I’m grateful to know that I am the source of love that is reflected back to me. We’ll never be those kids again but I will always cherish every moment. If you’re reading this I am sending you love through the ethers, I hope you remember that you are the love you deserve.
Love always & love all ways,
Rebel ❤

You dropped this 🤝🏿
me neither fam. i believe in you though
I swear frank is a lyrical genius he just knows how to enter your mind with everysingle word he lays into the mic
Ngl this guy is amazing and listening to him is making me so nostalgic rn.
A fairly accurate way to sum up my last relationship.
We grew apart, I hid behind "walls", I didn't treat her right, all the things I didn't mean to say/do, I broke her heart, in the end it might have been for nothing, but I won't forget her or everything we had. It was a good run and this song will always remind me of her (In a non romantic way). I hope she can find someone to make her happy, and I will keep working on myself and I'll wait for someone else when I'm ready.
Don't upset over someone cause they're gone, be happy because it happened and you discovered new things about yourself!
zoeahz That's a really good attitude. It's really easy to turn to anger when you get hurt, but you gotta look past the bad parts.
zoeahz Me and my ex had a similar situation. I treated him wrong and he didnt deserve it. I didnt mean it but it didnt stop and eventually he got tired of it. but instead of breaking up with me he started hurting me back. what hurts the most is that we lasted over a year and the memories I made with him are the best. it's hard to let that go.
Well said
THIS GAME ME TEARS WTF!!!
Good attitude
i literally cannot listen to this song without breaking down
I cannot listen to this song without nutting

@JuaNnn yeeaaa get Groovy wit it
@Sebastian Rodriguez
I agree 80% you check out the theme song fact of life.
The start of this song makes me emotional, but its the damn outro that kills it lmao
Everytime I hear this song I start to cry bc it reminds me of my first real love. I doubt anybody is ever going to read it, it is a long ass story, but I don't really have anyone to talk about with these things. I have friends, it is just I don't feel comfortable opening up about it in real life.
I am 18 now moved out to study but when I was 15 I fell in love for the first time. The girl I fell in love with( I am german) was a girl at a neighbouring highschool, the thing was she was raised in a traditional turkish muslim family. This community is one of the closest related I have ever seen and some of them are really giving people from their own community a bad time of they do not obey the rules of Islam.
I met her in a crossover project between our highschools and we practically started meeting everyday. At first we were pretending to ourselves we wanted to continue working on the project. Then it turned to us being friends, yet we never talked about the state of relationship we had.
I guess it just felt right for both of us, it was a sense of mutual understandment and connection. We could talk about basically everything. Honestly dunno what it was about her, before I met her I never had a similar experience. Of course as with every other person we argued but it didn't ever matter at all, she literally gave me excitement everytime before meeting her. Beforehand, dating for me was about flexing, everyone in my friend's group needed a girl just to have one, therefore my first romantic experiences where disappointments. It felt like we're being pressured into something which didn't even feel right. Then she came and not only made me feel differently but made me mature as a person, the first (and to this day the only) girl I could totally open up to without having doubts or hesitation. Unlike any other girls I tried to hook up with, she attracted me in a unique way. I just felt crazily happy being around her, some warm feeling I cannot describe in words. So we continued hanging out together while I pretended to be her "learning partner" bc of her traditional mother.
She was a formidable student so we always tended to use the time otherwise, thus we used to roam doing the stuff lovers do, sometimes even just going for a walk. We didn't need any fance stuff. It was the first time none of the rumours would have bothered in any fashion, it was just me and her against the world. Nowadays I can somehow feel grateful as well bc it was probably the happiest time of my life.
One day, I remember it like it was just yesterday, this stuff between us was almost going for a year, there was kind of a key experience. It was the 7.7.2018, shit I've got it burned in my mind like it was yesterday, we climbed over the fence(Kind of a thing in our town) of our local swimming facility. We had certainly become somewhat more than just friends, but since I did not want to insult her family I had never dared to kiss or even touch her. Anyways, after we went swimming, it was a tropical night and while laying in the grass with her, she then came closer and began to kiss me. And wow, the rush we felt was better then Molly or anything I ever tried since.
It was probably the most amazing feeling ever but even tough our bodies were craving for each other I could eventually stop before we had any inappropiate stuff going down. I suppose in my head I already knew her father would probably expell her from her family if we continued playing with fire. So after that there was only two weeks left until summer break and she started to behave differrently. At first, it just did not feel as natural as it used to feel, she slowly tried to avoid me. After a while, I figured out she confessed everything to her sister, who then went on to explain to me that I would destroy her life if I would continue "dating" her. I insisted on doing anything for her, I would even turn muslim against my catholics parents will. Her sister simply told me the family, especially the father would accept nothing but a turkish man. Nothing personal, just something that has never happened before and isn't wished for at all bc they are from a small conservative village somewhere in Anatolia where these rules apply until nowadays. Eventually her sister ordered her to fly to Turkey in summer break for 4 straight weeks so she could not make any stupidities.
Her mother was extremly strict but in the first week after summer break she made it out home on midnight and dude how wrong I was, I even prepared a romantic dinner. She told me that feels like loving me but that she had to make a decision between me and her family. Her dad started to get suspicious too and asked questions on why she'd spend so much time with a guy in general, for them I was just a distraction. Obviously I don't really stand a chance against her entire family.
I know this sounds like some studip romeo and juliet shit but this was the harsh reality. She also said that she would go on to another highschool in the neighbouring city bc I assumed or hoped idk she would break down if she saw me almost everyday having multiple courses together. She told her girls that she did not feel accepted which must be straight up bullshit because she was regularly hanging with half of the girls at her class. If there had been problems she would have told me for sure.
And that was it. I tried to talk to her over and over again, but she just blocked all my attempts away. I texted her probably more times than I can remember, but she blocked me on every platform. At the end of the day, I had to accept her decision. It just wasn't meant to be man. Life's unfair
Life is just. Not good.
Damn bro I feel you man, you're not alone
I hope one day you two will become united again
Maybe she’s your “right person wrong timing.” Maybe in the future you will get to talk to her again
How are you now man
I miss you so so much baby.
Hope you're doing well in life and find somebody else that would give you all his time and attention.
Long live❤
This shit he's singing about is legit. I had a girl all throughout high school. We were so close it was crazy. Then came college and thats where she drifted apart from me. I was the one who never stopped loving her. The conversation Frank is having with his ex lover in this mirrors my experience. "If i could see through walls i could see you're faking, if you could see my thoughts you would see your faces"...
it's "our faces" instead of "your faces" It just made this song 30% sadder dam
This song makes me want to ask out my crush , so that we could have a past..
LMFAOAOAOAO really tho
:(
Fucking do ittttttt
but dont hold it against her if shes shy. i let a guy down cuz i was too shy :(
True I feel the same
i can relate to that.
"I ain't a kid no more, we'll never be those kids again" hits harder every year I drift closer to the void
Frank makes GOAT level depression music. Blond is a masterpiece and this is his best performance. So simple and powerful.
This song will always hold a special place in my heart.
this songs brings back so many good memories
just remember someone that was once mine, soooo sad.SHE LOVED THIS SONG
Jacob Ortega yeah..
Same.....
Precious Mac-way same. She introduced me to this song
Precious Mac-way you don't need them, they'll only slow you down from pursuing your dreams :)
