      I might be too late to say this but your fallout should've never disrupted your friendship. Just cause your ex is no longer your bf or gf you two should at least still stay friends. I know that it might be hard for people to stay friends with an ex and, this is just my opinion, but if I broke up with my special person then I would at least know that they had the courage to end it when their love was gone instead of dragging on this loveless relationship with me. I hope you have moved on by now. :)

    I still can not understand why I cry everytime I listen to this song. I have yet to experience "a heartbreak", or any other rpainful experience, so I can not say that I somehow relate to the lyrics he sings, but the way he sing and the thoughts that he must have had while writing these beautiful lyrics... The feelings he must have felt... For some unknown reason, it just breaks my heart.
    (Sorry if I am being weird or perhaps even annoying.)

      Your never annoying dude ^UwU^
      Its not bad to pour your thoughts out for once to the world,to get that out of your chest for once.We all have a special *Spark* inside us.It all just starts,with the first chapter of our life(Why am i like this from time to time-).Im actually a writer myself,though,ever since this quarantine,i've been draining interest in it,but still writing,
      considering in writing right now while listening to songs i love,like alec benjamin who inspires me to write.Never had any friends until 2019,lost half of them in 2020......but still ok.
      Ever considered,to just restart,and make your own,happy ending?Yet god plans our endings,we dont.
      But such as that truth is,we can still plan that ending *with* him,with a few conditions also.But u decide wether,u do it,but just go rouge and plan your own ending.Dont choose the path that leads you to darkness,choose the path,that makes you,you.Bit by bit,you'll make it to the top,and see the bottom from below,where u started to be for who you are
      Have drink,relax in the garden,and listen to calming songs to relax your mind for once in a while.Chill in your little personal bubble of joy♡

      if you ever get into a relationship make sure to always give attentions and care about him/her, you have your entire life to think about yourself so you might also dedicate him/her your time. heartbreak is the painful price we must pay for living such good moments with our beloved ones so at some point make sure you dont find yourself in a sorrowful debt.

      i completely agree like i've never dated anyone or anything but ig i've had heartbreaks if you count best friends being mad at you and leaving you for other ppl then you get back in contact and all the can talk about is not eating and stuff and you finally feel like you're in a good place but then they start and you're back to where you tried so hard to get out of...then they block you bc you left a stupid little group chat and they talk about you to your crush

    Theory: Alec Heard a glass break in the apartment above him and met Annabelle.. (Must of been the wind) Went to college (I built a friend) Then met Annabelle again He started taking her to the water fountain And dating? (Water fountain)Then later Found out she liked somebody else who would be (Gabriel)
    So Tried doing her homework to get her to like him again Unfortunately it wasn't enough. ( Annabelle's Homework) then he tried again, (If I killed someone for you) Later she ended up liking him again. Soon after They graduated she told him she didn't like him, but he didn't want to accept it. (Let me down slowly) Finally they broke up (The book of you and I) Tell me if you liked it.
    Edit : Thank you for This many Likes I've never gotten this many! 🥳🥰

    Alec is my favourite singer now and will always be ✨. The reasons are
    1)He is a humble and a hard working person.
    2)His voice is innocent.
    3)His music is great, pleasant to hear and always with different good messages for the audience around the world.
    4) Unlike other singers he doesn't chase for fame and money.
    5) He's clean with no piercing and tattoos.
    6)He is underated, he deserves more love and support..

    "There were so many chapters we never got to write" while the whole song hits way too close to home for me, this line in particular got me.
    I always fantasized about spending my whole life with her. Marriage, a home, a family, growing old together, having each other in our last thoughts, and spending the rest of the afterlife together (if there is one). Then suddenly she told me she lost feelings, and now I'm no longer in contact with her. And the worst part? It was all my fault. I think about her everyday and get the urge to curl in a ball and cry in bed, regretting my decisions while we were together.
    If anyone is also going through or went through a tough breakup like I am, just know you're not alone, man. There are probably so many people out there that care about you more than you think, whether that'd be family, friends, therapists, lots of people that can be capable of liking you. Just cuz you had this moment where someone didn't love you anymore, it doesn't mean that everyone else will leave you too. Please don't let yourself go to waste like I did. Keep taking care of yourself, shower at least twice a week, brush your teeth everyday, continue working hard in school/your job, and don't give up hope. There are over 8 billion people on this world, another one is bound to love you, so don't quit just yet. And if things seem to get too hard for you to handle alone, then please don't keep your feelings to yourself. There will probably be people around to help you during these hard times. There's no shame or harm in asking for help from others.
    Take care, y'all ❤

I feel like i have been growing emotionless n i have reached a point where i cant even cry anymore ..... When i watch a movie i dont empathize anymore ...... When i listen to a song , i dont feel it anymore ..... Its just a draining life n world we live in rn ..... This song might be the only thing which is able to bring back atleast some sort of feeling where i can atleast just say that i am still human n i still have emotions in me n that i am not dead inside ...... Thank you for ur great music alec ❤

    This song puts into words of how I felt exactly (and still feel) when the girl of my dreams left me. It's hard to watch someone slowly drift away and lose their feelings for you. Alec is the most heartfelt songwriter that I have ever heard and his music helps me through the "tough times". Being vulnerable is the hardest thing to do no matter who you are. I commend Alec for sharing his pain when, most artists will never cover that subject. You're awesome man, keep up the great work!!! P.S Congratulations on your tour, hope others may enjoy your gift that you've brought to music 😉

    "But her love ran dry and we fell apart"
    I have loved you from the start until now. It broke my heart to find out that you just made me believe you love me when the truth was you don't love me anymore to avoid hurting me. But you know what? You just made it a lot worse and painful.
    Now you're finding someone new while we're still talking. I know, I know we talked this out. We decided to be just friends. But you know what hurts? I just can't see you as a friend. You will always have my heart. I will still fall inlove with you everytime I see you. Your smile is still my favourite. I still see the universe whenever I look into your eyes. You gave so much to remember, how am I suppose to just let you go?
    Tell me how, if everytime we get to hang out (as friends) there's still this hope in me that maybe, just maybe our love will come back. Don't you know how much it hurts to be close to you but can't tell you how much you mean to me? It's like you're close, yet so far.
    I know I told you I've moved on. I thought too. I then found out that I just said that to convince myself. And to remove the awkwardness. Hell, you're still the most beautiful person for me, no matter how much you've hurted me.
    The day you said you don't love me anymore crushed me. Even tho I already anticipated it.
    We never got to finish our book as lovers. Or was it just me who really wrote it and you we're actually writing a book of us as friends without me knowing? Haha.
    Still, thank you for everything, my love. I've missed the old us, really. Maybe it's true we're better off as friends. I'll just leave our book in the shelf and try to never open it again. Let's continue what you are writing now. And soon, we'll write a book for ourselves; you will just be a beautiful chapter.
    To my Dream Come True (that's what I've always called you because I fell inlove with you in my dreams, hard), I see you're doing just fine. I hope you find the love you've been looking for. And the next time I get to see you in my dreams, I'll hug you tight, and ask you questions I've failed to ask in real world.
    Run away, run far from me and find a new home. I'll be just fine. I will.

I won’t put my book down, and it’s so easy for this to be just be another chapter. But I won’t let it. You don’t know me and you shouldn’t, but thank you. I know what it’s like. However hard it gets, all we have is the pieces we pick up. And pick them up I will. Move forward. And I hope while you’re moving forward you find something you never would’ve expected. Be strong even when you can’t be. Later stranger

      That's wow.. I'm going through the same thing right now. In the beginning of quarentine I lost access to my phone for 8 months and that was the only source of communication I had with my lover. We loved eachother so much and we were inseperable, though we were never able to meet in person we made sure it was possible that we could spend as much time as we can together on the phone.. We did everything together, play games, watch movies, have sleepover calls, or break a night and listen to music/talk till 6am.
      Due to me loosing me phone for 8 months I lost my lover. We both couldn't even IMAGINE us being apart or anything happening to our relationship. Those entire 8 months were the most hardest days of my life. Every day I cried and cried and I was miserable without him. I stopped eating, I was worried sick since I was apart of his happiness, I overthank if when I'd come back- if he'd hate me, I overthank a lot..
      I finally got back in touch with him, I had stood loyal those entire 8 months cause I had strong faith that we'd meet again. I even had dreams of him coming back 2 weeks prior to seeing him again. When we reconnected I was so so so happy, I cried tears of joy, a huge weight was lifted off my back.. I didn't even worry about him finding somebody else. I always knew he'd wait for me no matter how long.
      But it turns out I was wrong. It's not because he was a bad person but because he got so mentally hurt by me vanishing that he forced me out of his head throughout those months and it was very hard on him as well as it was for me. He told me he no longer had feelings for me but still cared, what was even worse was that throughout this time someone had been comforting him while he was mourning and they ended up in a relationship. That absolutely broke my heart into pieces. I even went numb again. But I couldn't be mad at him, I knew he was hurting.. I love him too much to even get mad at him for doing that. He's still an amazing person.
      I relate to the fact of not being able to tell him that I love him. It's so damn hard to be his friend. I'm so greatful to even be speaking to him but I'm so attached and glued to the thought of what we once were and what I once was too him. I'm no longer as important.. He's moved on but I haven't.
      It seems like just yesterday I was able to tell him I loved him every night before he went to sleep, that I admired him for all he does for me and for others, and how much I truly care. It's hard to not tell him he's so adorable when he smiles and laughs. I fall in love with him each and every time I try to move on, I love everything about him. It's so damn difficult..
      I 100% support his emotions, but it's so so so hard for me. 8 months ago we'd talk everyday, we'd always tell eachother how much we love eachother, he'd always let me win when it came to video games, he'd always make me cute animations, and defend me no matter what. I had his back, and he had mine. He'd do so many things just to make me happy even when I'd beg him to not do it but he did it cause he cared.. he really loved me. I miss feeling so important to my love.. I used to be his stars, his sun, his world. And now I'm just a friend who still deeply loves him and misses him.
      We even talked about meeting eachother and having our own home together with all these "animal children".. It's crazy how much things can change in 8 months.
      I feel you, 100%

    I honestly the last few nights I've felt like I'm broken or something. I'm used to being sad and having a broken heart. It's like I'm used to the knives in my back. I just feel like I'm just a useless waste of space... or at least that is what my mother says. I have been listening to Alec's songs tho for a while and a few years ago I was in a dark place where I was basically inflicting self harm and one day my friend had me listen to the song If We Have Each Other and it complete helped me realize how precious life is. I've been a fan of his music ever since.

    Even for a person who is in a relationship for a long time such as I (basically 8 months and counting), it really breaks your heart and pulls your heartstrings when you hear a song like this cause there's always a small part of your mind that says "what if" even if you've made a promise to each other that you wouldn't leave for any sort of reason and you'd be together forever. Even though my story is still being written with the one I love deeply despite all of this, however, others' stories have been ripped apart, never to be published and read by everyone else to see the beauty in their relationship.
    For those whose stories have ended, remember, you can always start a new chapter with someone else who is better because if someone has left you, that only means that there's someone better awaiting to come and sweep you off your feet. Your story may end up being better and more colorful with someone new, as some who start out have grey, dull chapters with little to no color & chapters with little to no meaning.
    Time and life have a funny way of waiting for the right moment. So go and grab that new journal, book, heck even a notebook. Grab it with pride in knowing that you found someone who can do all the things you've always wanted to do with someone special and also in knowing that your chapters can be longer with more details about your happiness and the love that fills your heart greatly with each day that's spent with this special person.
    For those who have went through heartbreak and don't believe that there's a chance to find that one other book available to write in, I have been there and it hurts very much. But, please re-read my message to everyone. There is always another book to pick up off the shelf and write in. Write all the details about what you'd like to do with someone special and read them aloud to yourself and think. There is someone out there waiting to come into your life. Keep those details inside and once that someone comes, show them everything. Share it with them. Then, once it hits off, write down all the things you experience. Leave that old book from long ago on the shelf. Once some time passes, you can read that old book and laugh at the old times when you were with someone who left, because you know deep in your heart you're special and you deserved someone better to take your heart and keep it forever instead of break it into a million pieces.
    So.. that's my special rant. May have gotten a bit more detailed in the end but that's okay. I hope you all read this and know that you can start over and turn to a new chapter in your life. ♡

    **Lyrics**
    Well, it all began in the back of her car
    I was just 16 but I fell so hard
    Well, the years went by and she held my heart
    But her love ran dry and we fell apart
    I felt her growing distant
    I knew her love was shifting
    And all that I could say was
    Don't tell me that it's over
    The book of you and I
    Now you've scribbled out my name
    And you've erased my favorite lines
    There were so many chapters that we never got to write
    Buy cereal for dinner
    And staying up all night
    I remember where we started
    I remember how you looked but now
    I'm missing bits and pieces from the pages that you took
    You didn't give a reason, I'll forever wonder why
    We never got to finish the book of you and I
    Well, I bought a pen and I turned the page
    Then I wrote about how I wish you'd stayed
    I said all the things that I never got to say
    Maybe when it's done I will feel okay
    That she had grown distant
    I knew her love had shifted
    I wish she felt the same
    Don't tell me that it's over
    The book of you and I
    Now you've scribbled out my name
    And you've erased my favorite lines
    There were so many chapters that we never got to write
    Like cereal for dinner
    And staying up all night
    I remember where we started
    I remember how you looked but now
    I'm missing bits and pieces from the pages that you took
    You never gave a reason, I'll forever wonder why
    We never got to finish the book of you and I
    Don't tell me
    Tell me that you're leaving me
    My belly hurts and my heart is hardly beating right
    I hate to beg but I'll try one last time
    Don't tell me that it's over
    The book of you and I
    Now you've scribbled out my name
    And you've erased my favorite lines
    There were so many chapters that we never got to write
    Like cereal for dinner
    And staying up all night
    I remember where we started
    I remember how you looked but now
    I'm missing bits and pieces from the pages that you took

    I've been in a new relationship for over a year, yet this still touches me. The last time I saw my ex was 3 years ago. We had a long distance relationship and her love went dry, the only way of communicating after our relationship was through whatsapp and our Spotify playlist. I could see she was still uploading songs to mine, which was so touching yet she moved on. I feel like she knew we were special but the book is just finished.

    _"We never got to finish the book of you and I"_
    We also made so many plans together for the future, plans that we'll never finish or do. It was nice knowing that there was a time that every time you planned for your future- I was in it. But I'm still happy, because I know that you will continue moving forward and making more plans. Even if they don't include me anymore. I love you, I always will.

    "but she had grown so distant"
    It reminded me of me. I did it to this guy because i was scared and i am young to be in the position of love. In addition, i didn't have strong feelings to this friend but he did but i did stay distant because what he did wasn't rlly normal for friends to do. In addition, i knew he was hurt but once i told him to stay put, i felt relieved and my siblings supported me and we're proud bcs they didn't trust the guy after i told them how clingy he was.😊
