"Headstone" Hello my dear It’s so nice to see you here How long has it been? Oh it feels like years But I’m sure it’s just been days Been walking around alone Drunk and missing you at home You know I’ll never feel the same Or ask another girl to take my name Think I’ve been stopping by too much Don’t want you to get sick of me On my way home from the Copper Coin It’s this or I jump into the sea And I will never forgive myself for not being there to protect you I should have been at home instead of out trying to forget you Just one fight and I’m out the door What kind of man am I? I swore I’d never leave your side Hello my dear It’s so hard to see you here How long has it been since we put you in the ground? Oh it feels like days, but it’s been years Oh, and please don’t call me baby, it’s just too hard to hear Too hard to hear Leave you flowers at your headstone Just sit and talk to you my dear My dear
Beautiful song. Incredible album. Phenomenal band. I'm a freshman in college, and my ex girlfriend from freshman year of high school passed away a few days ago. It's been really weird, because we basically did not have any contact after she graduated my sophomore year, and all of sophomore year we didn't really talk much. And now she's gone. This song has helped me tremendously. She was a great person, and I will always remember her. Rest in peace, Katelynn
I cry everytime I hear this song. I lost my best friend, and while it doesn't directly relate to the lyrics, the feeling of loss is the same. I love and miss you Eric.
Also, just paid attention to the lyrics. Fucking hell, this is one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. Especially the second "Hello my dear..." part is heart breaking.
+Zuaoum Schabeiro Yeah, instead of a concept album where all the songs are all part of a story, each album is a part of the story Pretty fukken awesome that they managed to do that
So many memories are attached to this song for me. It's bittersweet listening to this now. It's not been too long I guess, but i just got hit with a huge wave of nostalgia.
its ridiculous how they can so sincerely convey the emotion of the hypothetical situations ginen in the concept of their lyrics. Love this fucking band.
I only found this today on the album, didn't expect it at the end but it's beautiful and I nearly tear up everytime I listen to it and I'm a guy I love the people who are close to me :')
i lost my gf in a car accedent a month ago. everytime i hear this song it reminds me of the good times we had only cause the last couple weeks were tough between us. this song should be a lesson to cherish every moment u have with the ones u love cause it may be the last.
Said goodbye to a girl i was with for 2 years...always talked about being together forever...i sent her this song before...and she was so happy i did. And now shes gone.
Good people. I need help finding a song. The lyrics of the chorus are as follows (I think) " And I tryyy to drink you hooome, but the bottles not deep enooough and the nights are loong" Please, I've been looking for this song forever now. I need the title and artist.
I'm not into hardcore or post hardcore, but I like music and this album is probably one of the most excellent pieces of work I've heard in some while. This band has an amazing potential and I hope that while they grow bigger in the future, they won't let some "I did U2"-kind of producer ruin their work and talent...
This song destroys everyone. I love all the complex nuances in the vocals and the picking, and how song is like really happy sounding then put he put simple but devastatingly deep lyrics that have there own intensity over top the happy melody. This song is contradicting but it really works well and is pretty over the top.
This song is incredible. The first time you listen to it, and you realize at the end that the wife he's singing about is dead, then the second time you listen to it and every verse changes meaning now that you know she's dead. "I've been stopping by too much, don't want you to get sick of me" FUCK
@GodBlessYouthfulness they arent in order but travels is the youngest brothers point of view and endless days sleepless nights is from the oldest brothers view. white oak doors is where the youngest brother takes the oldest to the train tracks and he gets hit by the train, which is why the song cuts out. the oldest one dies. cowardice is where the youngest brother ends the story by killing himself. so in the end everybody dies..pretty depressing story lol
Derek had a side-project called Alcoa. Check him out, he got really good stuff if u like this song. I think he got an album out or coming out, can't find it on youtube tho.
ugh... my ex boyfriend sent this to me, we got into a fight because I knew he still cared about me.. he got a new girlfriend after we broke up and had doubt's but refused to end it with her because she'd be too upset.. after he sent this he didn't talk to me for months.. but happy ending we are still close friends.
"Headstone"
Hello my dear
It’s so nice to see you here
How long has it been?
Oh it feels like years
But I’m sure it’s just been days
Been walking around alone
Drunk and missing you at home
You know I’ll never feel the same
Or ask another girl to take my name
Think I’ve been stopping by too much
Don’t want you to get sick of me
On my way home from the Copper Coin
It’s this or I jump into the sea
And I will never forgive myself for not being there to protect you
I should have been at home instead of out trying to forget you
Just one fight and I’m out the door
What kind of man am I?
I swore I’d never leave your side
Hello my dear
It’s so hard to see you here
How long has it been since we put you in the ground?
Oh it feels like days, but it’s been years
Oh, and please don’t call me baby, it’s just too hard to hear
Too hard to hear
Leave you flowers at your headstone
Just sit and talk to you my dear
My dear

It feels like days but it's been years.
Still hits heavy. Genuinely appreciate having music like this around.
This made me shed tears. This is one of the most heartfelt songs I've ever listened too. Utterly amazing. T
I cry everytime I hear this song. I lost my best friend, and while it doesn't directly relate to the lyrics, the feeling of loss is the same. I love and miss you Eric.
I'll always remember the first time I heard this on the first full album play through of empty days. Completely broke my heart.
This song is so amazing. I cried while listening to it. It's already considered one of my favourite songs ever. So much love for Defeater.
Also, just paid attention to the lyrics. Fucking hell, this is one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. Especially the second "Hello my dear..." part is heart breaking.
Pay attention to the whole album, it's one big sad storylol. it's super great
+Zuaoum Schabeiro Yeah, instead of a concept album where all the songs are all part of a story, each album is a part of the story
Pretty fukken awesome that they managed to do that
Im soo happy to see defeater get more popular. It brings a smile to my face..
Only band I know that does great soft acoustic music and excellent post hardcore.
I'm not crying I swear... I'm sweating... From my eyeballs...
So many memories are attached to this song for me. It's bittersweet listening to this now. It's not been too long I guess, but i just got hit with a huge wave of nostalgia.
Saw these guys live with ABR, Beartooth, and blessthefall when they came to Orlando. They were amazing. And they continually get better
Arthur I love you. I'm waiting for you. I'll be with you again.. together for eternity.
R.I.P.
This is one of the saddest and most beautiful songs I've ever heard! Defeater rules!
Im a guy and I teared up a Bit. This song is beautiful and the meaning is close to home. R.I.P. to the ones we love.
I can listen to this song on repeat for hours. In fact, that is what I did today at work stalking the shelves.
its ridiculous how they can so sincerely convey the emotion of the hypothetical situations ginen in the concept of their lyrics. Love this fucking band.
This song's makes me cry. I'm crying right now!
It's dedicated for the LOVE OF MY LIFE and MY SON.
LOVE YOU & MISS YOU BOTH SO MUCH. :'(
If I might ask, what happened to them?
Angelo Gerpel They probably passed away in a car accident. ):
I only found this today on the album, didn't expect it at the end but it's beautiful and I nearly tear up everytime I listen to it and I'm a guy
I love the people who are close to me :')
Wow...This song just hits my soul...literally...
this song is about something tragic, but its just so beautiful and relaxing. love you, defeater.
5 years today since my best friend was murdered. This song helps so much. Thank you.
Hah

You know I’ll never feel the same
or ask another girl to take my name

Said goodbye to a girl i was with for 2 years...always talked about being together forever...i sent her this song before...and she was so happy i did. And now shes gone.
I Will Fuck Your Email, bro this just happened to me. Broke up with my lady of 2 and half years and I was going to propose in February.
Christopher Powell

I Will Fuck Your Email nobody was bro
its all good still LMAOOOO I have since been in 4 other relationships and I understand it always gets better. Can't believe that was 2 years ago.
Every single time I hear this song, my heart sinks. It's tragic.
may your friend rest in piece for all eternity.
I work at pacsun and this came on and i almost cried during work...haha everyone was like "Are you okay?!" haha, such a good song.
The background story behind all of these albums is so heart breaking. Read into it and be amazed.

defeater is the greatest band of all time
This song made me think of Kelly Anne Wallace and Gordon Riker. I love you guys
best song i ever heard

reminds me of this girl I love who lives across the country...
Is she dead lol
@Divisi0ns, he does have an album out. It's called Bone & Marrow. C:
@tomtwostep oldschool ;)
Just noticed the beginning sounds like the beginning of Cowardice.
Rest In Peace, Kris Banker.
@CardinalSessions lol who still uses winamp?
Only some songs have a little truth in them, but regardless they are amazing and beautiful stories.
They all die in the end, what a tough story. We all should consider ourselves lucky to have a normal family, without this pain and sorrow.
wow i did not expect it to end this way, fucking amazing.
@GodBlessYouthfulness they arent in order but travels is the youngest brothers point of view and endless days sleepless nights is from the oldest brothers view. white oak doors is where the youngest brother takes the oldest to the train tracks and he gets hit by the train, which is why the song cuts out. the oldest one dies. cowardice is where the youngest brother ends the story by killing himself. so in the end everybody dies..pretty depressing story lol
It weird how every Defeater's song can rely to my relationship... They're the strongest talented song writers.. If it can be said like that
Ich liebe dich. Für immer.
I miss you..
this made me cry
Makes me miss you Nico...
This song is just fucking crushing.
rest in peace to my mom
acoustic song this good, and still have a following that's hard as nails? i can dig that.
Derek had a side-project called Alcoa. Check him out, he got really good stuff if u like this song. I think he got an album out or coming out, can't find it on youtube tho.
*STEIN SITTING ALONE ON A CLIFF* ... Lighting up a cigarette with his dog... playing guitar.. drinking a beer.. coyotes below howwling at the moon..
desert dweller?
someone should put rainy mood and this song together so I could have this perfect mix on my iPod
Lol...Ipods...who would have thought they would be supplanted by phones now...
start at the beginning of empty days and sleepless nights
travels is the same story from another perspective
you are a genius.
anybody else think the first couple notes at the start and the last couple notes are the same as the start of "Cowardice"?
beautiful
but i am sure that it has just been days, but it has been years.
Mind = blown
sooo nice!
speechless...
i like so much

Thank you, Based God.
I dedicate this song to a very good friend of mine, who lost his girlfriend last week.
ugh... my ex boyfriend sent this to me, we got into a fight because I knew he still cared about me.. he got a new girlfriend after we broke up and had doubt's but refused to end it with her because she'd be too upset.. after he sent this he didn't talk to me for months.. but happy ending we are still close friends.
Rip Tiffany Ann.
Okay, SOME do, I do not care.
Regardless, Defeater has and always will be amazing.
