Lyrics
Well it all began in the back of her car
I was just sixteen, 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
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 didn’t give a reason and 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
But she had grown so distant
And that 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 and 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
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
You never gave a reason and I’ll forever wonder why
We never got to finish the book of you and I

@Diana Al-Rihani Did you like your own coment? ;)
This song deserves to be in a movie. Anyone?
This song should be in the end of a movie. A sad one,then it will be relatable
Yeah
I agree
I just pictured it anx cried, thank you :")
Might do that but in Gacha club. Ohh yeah I’m recording it for the audio!
i feel like alec’s lyrics really just sneak their way inside your thoughts and make themselves at home and that warm feeling is just forever stuck with you
Sorry for bringing this here but tbh you gonna love this

anastasia bloom perfectly put ❤️
Yes
yeaa such relatable and deep lyrics zzz
"There were so many chapters that we never got to write" that hits hard, my ex was also one of my best friends, and it's so sad that we bearly talk anymore 😔
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. :)
xx Gracie Louise xx I feel you... I texted her and now things hit the fan :(
same here...
agreed
Everything will eventually be alright thats how everything will work🙂

Am I the only person who gets sad hearing this song, not because of my own heartbreak, but because Alec Benjamin was sad at some point in time ?? Yeah... it breaks my heart
Yea :(
I relate to you brother

Yeah My heart hurts me too
this

is
underrated
whyy why
it is underrated but not everyone can understand the lyrics
Alec is underrated and it's really sad
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! 🥳🥰
The doll part tho lmao
But everything else adds up
When I hear of annabelle I want to think anything but that creepy doll
You missed if I killed someone for you
@@elizaobiogbolu4957 You're right
Ok so you guys said the ending didn't make sense so I got rid of it and now looking back at it TWO MONTHS later I Agree. 😂
"you never gave a reason , and I forever wonder why". This hit home so hard. Like, getting broke up with ex without any 'reason' and it forever stuck in your mind like why they left you for no reason.
That is the thing about a real hard and hurtimg break up.
You love him so much. But it's not enough. He deserves better.
You have to let them go.
I read this as the part came on
Me too :(
it does it hurts so much

👏F👏A👏C👏T👏S👏
“there were so many chapters that we never got to write“ oh it hurts
I think you mean oh da pain
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
@@GaiYoShipper127 dont feel bad. Most the people I met who literally cant understand or directly relate act like its a joke or it wont actually affect someone
I cry too songs like this because I dwell on what’s gonna happen in the future so I see it as a possibility and it hurts
yall talking about heartbreak
but i feel nostalgia from when me and my best friend were kids 🗿 ik im weird
i also felt that except it was with an old online friend
@@beansbeaniebanebenabeanisa9686 same
It's not weird. Friendships are cool
sameeeee

For everyone relating to these lyrics, just know your not alone. My book just closed with someone I loved for 3 years about a month ago and I felt so alone. But I've come to realize there are so many more books to start. Yes the last book may have been amazing but you WILL find the perfect book for yourself.
thanks i needed this
I had to screenshot this so I had a reminder for myself. Thank you.

Stay safe bro. Never let such thoughts seep into your mind. Remember that everyone loves you and all of them are rooting for you. Live life to the fullest, savour every moment, sadness is a part of it.

The first time my sister listened to this she said: “is this a girl singing? Her voice is pretty” I corrected her but now she’s obsessed with your songs ;v;

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..
4 isnt true for everybody so stop jumping in conclusions
7) His songs relates with the story of every listener like it's based on them
What's wrong with having tattoos or piercings? Lol
He's so so sweet to his fans. He goes out in public and plays songs for them randomly. It's so sweet
@fernwastaken1765 but it is a good general statement for celebrities these days. There are exceptions but a majority focus on the prestige and money
If only I could keep this diary with me forever...
That setting is honestly so cute and makes me think about the meaning behind the lyrics even more, I feel like I'm part of this story, the one writing

thank u chad
😂😂your profile picture do not match with your message mate
"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 ❤
Alec is so underrated it hurts, his music is so healing, and he’s a great person 🥰❤️
Goodboytae omg i found an armyyyyy
Once again, Alec Benjamin made a beautiful song that’s bringing me to tears. I hope he finds someone that will make him happy. He truly deserves it
"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.
You made me cryyyyyyy
That is sooo sad. I also went through a horrible heartbreak and you will survive, even when you think the world is ending
**cries**
I understand. I can’t say much more than that. I don’t think I should. I don’t want to write something beautiful like you. I’m still fighting. 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%
my whole friend group split up because of quarantine, it hurts me more everyday
same. i miss them everyday..they were the ones who could make me happy and make me smile. now its never gonna be the same. almost all of them are toxic..but i miss them so fucking much :(
yeah same i know its for the best but only one was toxic and then when we stopped being friends all my friends took her side
same as me I have a best friend then on jan 10 she just stopped talking to me she ignores me and stare at me as if there is something wrong with me then I think she and some of my classmates are talking about me about something then on may I reach out on her through messenger then she talks with me again but after a week she ignores me again and all of my classmates ignore me now I don't know why
@@abcdeg7343 awe im sorry with me it was that it was a group of 5 and me and one girl in it were so freaking close and we were never apart and then we got into a fight and stopped talking then because of that we all split up :(

Best friend,
If You're listening to this, reading the comments because you know I talked about this song when we discussed you having to leave first, I miss you already and its only been 5 hours. This is gonna be a 2-forever years.. I'm trying my best for you. Even if you end up not coming back home to me. I dont know why I refer to me as home, but I refer to you like that I guess. You deserve nothing but thriving through your survival without me. Don't have too much fun!.. You can forget me, but dont forget what I taught you, because I won't do either.. I love you no matter what. I dont know why you had to leave.. But I think I know why. You don't need to explain anything. You need to be safe, keep yourself safe, and make new friends when possible, buddy ol' pal.
DUDE I FEEL SO BAD I DONT KNOW YOU BUT I FEEL SO BAD SORRYY
Bud... How are you doing???
That is so sweet of you btw
your msg will be recived by her, no matter she reads this or not.

Man, Alec does NOT deserve to ever feel like this...am I right?
"There were so many chapters that we never got to write"
💔
Its truly special when someone writes a song that is really personal with lyrics that are really beyond surface level but still have incredible music, this may honestly be a top 5 song for me
Lately, I've been feeling like shit. So, thank you so much for this Alec. Its making me feel relaxed despite the meaning of the song
I will always commend singers for spilling their heart out through music that can be so easily criticized 🥺❤️
the handwriting is so cute and attractive
I love how he makes the official music vid then makes the official lyric video 😗🥺🤗
I'm sorry for bringing this here . This is one of Julia's best song.I bet you didn't hear this on UA-cam.So after this song listen this

**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
You never gave a reason, I'll forever wonder why
We never got to finish the book of you and I
*This is a lyric video*
Anyway, I respect your time when you typed this
@@spinthebottle594 Imagine trying to sing along the song? While the lyric is being shown like 1 or 0.001 millisecond delays. I can't sing so that's why I wrote it so I can sing along.
The lyrics are on the screen Brudda
@@gamingprince747 Brudda I know😂. But look at my reply to Guinevere :)
@@gamingprince747 Its in the description now though. It used to be not there since we are OG fan😉.
Okay, so this is totally random, but does anyone else think this song has a rainy vibe, or is it just me? Idk, it kinda sounds like the type of song you'd listen to on a cold rainy day, next a fireplace with a cup of tea, and one of those old parchment journals. This really feelis like the song that sort of sets that scene. Anyone else agree?
did I cry while listening to this song, yes. is it because of a family issue even tho this was written about a non-platonic relationship, yes TwT
How old are you?
Don't cry you'll be okay ❤❤💚💚
@@Nainaimm 13, my father was having heart issues but he's ok :)
I can relate to this song even if I have never been in love or in a relationship. Bc I have lost people who were dear to me ,they don't talk to me anymore or they died ,so this song hit .
No one: ignores the notification from Alec. Me: stops everything just to listen to the song
Amazing the story telling , the song, your voice, loved it
Who all feels being loved after listening this song???
Bro I remember u singing on the beach I was there
It was like 3 maybe 4 years ago
I didn't know your name that time you were holding your guitar and singing for random people and I was so far to ask you for your name and when I get home i searched boy holding guitar singing for random people and nothing seem to come out and yah I clicked that vedio it was in my recommendations and it was the best thing UA-cam has ever made ❤❤❤
You've got new sub
oh you are so lucky😎😎
Well, it all began in the back of her car

It is a lyrical video... So whats the point
_"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.
i like how this lyric video was made
I was here one year ago. I remember exactly what it felt like listening to this song every night (and even afternoon), crying until I couldn't anymore. My heart was hurting and there was only darkness around me. Now I'm listening to it again after a year. I hate to beg, but I begged him to stay for the last time, but he didn't.
I'll still forever wonder why we didn't get to finish the Book of You and I. But time is a mystical thing and our story is over. It's not finished, but it's done, and I feel okay.
You know you're a true fan when you like the video while the ads playing because you'll know the song will be good since it's Alec Benjamin. Period. 😄🤪
I feel so peacefull when listening this song
"The pen I was writing from wasn't working and the pages were rusted. I tried to interpret why it was so. I closed the book, read the title "The book of You and I", and I realized that the ink had faded due to miscommunications a long time ago."
-To my best friend of four years that I lost in this race of life. I wish we had more pages. I wish I was enough so that she would have chosen me. She didn't give a reason. But she blocked me and I said goodbye. I miss her so much. I might be sounding insane but she meant the world to me.
he is like my personal therapist, when i just wanted to end it all i whuld listen to him he realy helped me through tough times
Jesus. This song is deep.
I'm feeling so sorry for me breaking your heart, Loumely. I loved you. For real. It was the best time of my life.
Thank you, Alec Benjamin.
You kind of chamged my life right now.
THAT HANDWRITING THO!!!
You know what hurts worse than heartbreak remembering how you made someone feel that same heartbreak.
How come you always get to hit my heart this way Benjamin..
The freaking harmonies are so good and just.... hearing this live was one of the best things ❤️
He's our little secret but if his music makes me so happy then I wish it can make everyone else feel better as well, just imaging him filling a whole stadium and everyone hearing him sing.. :')
Hey Mrinali , hope you find this comment one day :D , I Love You
Tell her!
I'll forever wonder why you are so underrated😵💫
I'm happy he's underrated, otherwise just see how much overhype people create for mainstream artists, that spoils all the fun :/
@@yoyojuana2054 ikr
Some people might find it cheesy.
Every song of you tell a story. I love this so much. Not like other people's songs ❣️
"I know it wasn't enough for you ... I couldn't give you everything ... Excuse me, I still miss you, I know you already have another and I see you happy, I hope that person doesn't hurt you, I just want you to be well. .. I love you ... Maybe we couldn't complete several pages of the story that was just beginning ... But if you come back, I promise you will be the happiest girl and I will do my best to make it last I miss you ... C.A.
Bro your so sweet. I wish i could feel emotions more often

rip to the perfectly good notebook, it served a great purpose, something many of us will never get to do, be in an Alec Benjamin music video
rest in peace soldier, rest in peace
doesn't anyone else agree with me that his handwriting is so cool
The perfect mix of driving in the rain & being in a field in summer vibes
To the person who read this. I just wanna say "You're Precious" :).
Alec's songs feel so real
Amazing song! I really relate to this song because basicly the lyrics are my story and well really loved the song
This hits someplace deep in there. I really love this song and every aspect of it❤️Keep up with the good work ❤️❤️

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 😉
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.
My favourite song. 💖💝💗💓💞💕💟
I would love to hear a remake of this song as Alec gets older, to hear the passion in his voice, as the years go by… we never ever forget our first love or the pain of that heartbreak… as a 44 year old woman, I say thank you for this beautiful little masterpiece…
I just realized even his breathing moments are beautiful
The little scribbles and drawings, the rubbing out and the small drawings make this video so cute!
i really gotta say this: i'm a sucker for music videos with a notebook, like this i love it
