I went to his concert in Chicago at Soldier Field and I heard this song and I started crying this song is so relatable I lost my grandpa and then my parents divorced. Ed really knows how to write a beautiful song.😢
I lost both parents in 2003, and this song sure hit hard. That said, as hard and sharp as the grief was, 20 years later, the wound healed. It's still there, as all scars do, and while I still miss them dearly, I try not to dwell on it. Dwelling on it is dangerous. Thank you for this song.
I dare say Subtract is Ed's finest work yet. When you lose someone you love... finding a way to say goodbye and move forward seems downright impossible. But if you're experiencing grief and struggling to find closure, know you're not alone. Allow yourself to feel your emotions, and cherish the memories that comfort you. "We keep this love in a photograph, we made these memories for ourselves." Thank you Ed ❤
So far, this one resonated to me well. "I can't help but feel low." But there's comfort in knowing there's someone like you out there. It makes you feel less alone. You'll still feel low but not as much as before... I feel like a book being read by Ed here. I'm just crying. Thank you.
ah..... Every time I think Ed cannot get better and every time he proves everyone wrong. I absolutely adore his talent. Thank you so much for your music
Whoever needs to hear this: I am 28. Most of my family members died. I went thru both relationship and friendship break-ups. My divorce and deaths crushed me. Let me tell you as the sad stuff piles up and support system circle gets smaller , sadness settles in and life becomes so much harder. It gets harder and harder to recover from losses and to adjust to new changes. It is all just human experience. Gotta stay positive and continue to try to get your fun self back after each sad event. Continue to hold onto that kid inside you and let it lose sometimes. Don’t give into depressive thoughts. Pray to God for support. You can do it ❤
This song means a lot to me. It's just like Ed described... it feels like the end of the youth and pain starts taking over. As a child everything was fine, but now as an adult it's very hard to find a day when I can say "everything is fine, this was a great day". I wish the old times would come back. Me back in the arms of the people dear to me who already passed away. No fears, no concerns for what comes next.
Just a reminder: Don’t feel like you’re a bad fan or that you don’t support Ed just because you aren’t able to listen to Subtract just quite yet due to your own personal struggles and triggers.💛
Lyrics [Verse 1] I've been depressed since you left, tried to fill the hole with wine Stopped the drugs when she came, cleaned my act up overnight If you reach with no reply, I'll see you when I see you, man You can't talk me through the fall if we don't know if I can land Tried to grow, but the past, it tears me down to size Tell the world how to process, but don't take the same advice Half remember what I said, then the morning's filled with fear Can't get a handle on my grief when every memory turns to tears [Pre-Chorus] It's been a long year and we're not even halfway there [Chorus] Is this the ending of our youth when pain starts takin' over? I just don't know if I can ever just let it go Everything's fallin' apart, when love is real, there’s never closure I guess it's all part of life, but I can't help but feel low We spend our youth with arms and hearts wide open And then the dark gets in and that's the end of youth [Verse 2] I've been lost since the teens but pretend it's all alright All my ups led to falls that led to try to end my life Just a boy at the start, they lent on like a man You were meant to be my friend and not to take all that you can Disengaged to create, try to reinvent the wheel No one knows what they want, so, I just give you what I feel If I slip and get high, I know the low is always near When I'm down, I never see you, when I'm up, you all appear [Pre-Chorus] It's been a long year and we're not even halfway there [Chorus] Is this the ending of our youth when pain starts takin' over? I just don't know if I can ever just let it go Everything's fallin' apart, when love is real, there’s never closure I guess it’s all part of life, but I can't help but feel low We spend our youth with arms and hearts wide open And then the dark gets in and that's the end of youth [Bridge] Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh [Pre-Chorus] It's been a long year and we're not even halfway there [Chorus] Is this the ending of our youth when pain starts takin' over? I just don't know if I can ever just let it go Everything's fallin' apart, when love is real, there’s never closure I guess it's all part of life, but I can't help but feel low We spend our youth with arms and hearts wide open And then the dark gets in and that's the end of youth We spend our youth with arms and hearts wide open And then the dark gets in and that's the end of youth
This album is marvelous 💛 I've been feeling quite low this year, so the songs are really relatable. They are not loud or too dynamic which is absolutely perfect. I've cried over them several times, and I'm so grateful that Ed released these masterpieces just when I needed it. Love you, Ed, and thank you for my emotions and strength to hold on, created by this album ❤🩹
Is this the ending of our youth when the pain starts taking over. Wow those lyrics hit home as a depressed teen who has lost far too many close family members in the last year or two
This song hit me so hard I just cried and cried. Nothing has ever made me feel like this song does. Sorry to be so melodramatic but it’s true. Thank you Ed.
Lost my son 3 years ago, it's still raw, how I've battled through I don't know, died very sudden, right by my side from a blood clot to the lung, aged 34. Left 3 little girls without a daddy 😭💔
This song is beautiful and a sad farewell to our youth. I’m 28 but I feel like I’ve aged 10 years in the last 2. PPD, family medical emergencies and deaths, miscarriage, anxiety in new pregnancy, etc. I’m grateful to be where I am but it’s taken a lot to get here. Can’t wait to see your concert in September!😊
I left this comment on another video from this album already, but I feel the need to say it again here: this is the Ed Sheeran that I originally fell in love with years ago.
We are all busy growing up that we never noticed when did we stop calling ourselves children. Time really do flies so fast. Thank you for the reminders, Ed. 🤍

Today is the day and you’re album… IT WAS JUST PHENOMENAL I have listened to all the songs now and honestly, way better than the last one, it has such a deep meaning and storyline behind it and I absolutely enjoyed it! My favourite songs from the album (not in order and I loved them all) - Saltwater - Eyes Closed - Curtains My favourite bonus song from Apple Music - Toughest You have really outdone yourself, these songs were SO beautiful to listen to! Can’t wait to see what unfolds next year!! Great job Ed! 💛🖤💛 ➖
This spoke to me. . . 😢. No one told me it would hurt this much. . . To wake up and realize that I’m never experiencing those small things a second time. I took them for granted. The late night talks with friends. The journies to and from school. . The first crush. The first heartache. . It was beautiful. Harry Potter was trending. . Akon was trending. . Life was simple. Wish you would welcome me back youth.
I’m a teacher and I always feel lucky that I get to see my students spend their youth with their hearts and arms wide open as the song says. But then also get to see older, jaded teachers and see the “end of youth” too. I get a unique look at both sides, and try everyday to always like life with an open heart no matter how old I get!
I’m 40, and I lost my best friend 3 years ago. The pain is always there; they can never be replaced. And in the game of life shit just keeps coming. Keep doing your musical diary Ed… Good on you for winning ANOTHER court case (they are stressful and as long as a ball of string) 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Look at your kids like I do, see the simplicity and innocence and take a couple of moments. As parents we are the super hero’s of their life story ❤❤❤❤
I lost my mom in 2009 and this song hits me right in the feels.. I was only 13 and my father tried to be there for me after the fact but it was never the same. Just like Ed says in this song. When the love is real there isn’t closure
💙Aaaarrrrhhhh this song!!!! With my current state of life...this song just took me apart, theres nothing but darkness left in a place that held my heart. Songs take me to memories that are like salt in the wound, cause just like Ed Sheeran says....i think thats the end of youth. 💙
Beautiful song. My goal is to mentor young ones, give them hope. This song just strengths my resolve for them to find a good life.. Keep moving forward..✌
Could listen to this song just fine didn't cry or anything,saw you for the first time in Nashville 2023 you sang this and it made me cry it hit harder especially with how true the part " when I'm down i never see you , when I'm up you all appear" is and now i can't listen to it at all without cryin
Is this the ending of our youth when the pain starts taking over. Wow those lyrics hit home as a depressed teen who has lost far too many close family members in the last year or two
Probably my favourite song from the album. Childhood is over, and Ed communicates this perfectly.
Me too❤
same
What of
Life goes on
Love my good guy team.....angie is the a team. Queen of the tortired poets.....im alive....❤
"When I'm down I never see you, when I'm up you all appear"
I think most of us relate to this. Thank you Ed for creating this album. ❤
Man….. these lyrics…… I don’t have any words to describe how I feel after listening to this song …. Every single word hits hard man
This new music's like a new beginning, and I'm far from my youth now, but still hits me hard, always speaks to me. Thanks Ed beautiful!
The pain of losing someone so important is like becoming an adult in two minutes 🥺 Thanks for so much Ed 💛
I went to his concert in Chicago at Soldier Field and I heard this song and I started crying this song is so relatable I lost my grandpa and then my parents divorced. Ed really knows how to write a beautiful song.😢
I lost both parents in 2003, and this song sure hit hard. That said, as hard and sharp as the grief was, 20 years later, the wound healed. It's still there, as all scars do, and while I still miss them dearly, I try not to dwell on it. Dwelling on it is dangerous. Thank you for this song.
The best singer songwriter of our time
I dare say Subtract is Ed's finest work yet.
When you lose someone you love... finding a way to say goodbye and move forward seems downright impossible. But if you're experiencing grief and struggling to find closure, know you're not alone. Allow yourself to feel your emotions, and cherish the memories that comfort you. "We keep this love in a photograph, we made these memories for ourselves." Thank you Ed ❤
This song hits hard after losing so many people too young to drugs or mental health! If you are reading this, I love you 🧡
This made me tear up. Thank you
So far, this one resonated to me well. "I can't help but feel low."
But there's comfort in knowing there's someone like you out there. It makes you feel less alone. You'll still feel low but not as much as before...
I feel like a book being read by Ed here. I'm just crying. Thank you.
ah..... Every time I think Ed cannot get better and every time he proves everyone wrong. I absolutely adore his talent. Thank you so much for your music
Teddy is so amazing! All of his songs bring me to the next paradise where is full of different vibes. Love you Ed.
Whoever needs to hear this: I am 28. Most of my family members died. I went thru both relationship and friendship break-ups. My divorce and deaths crushed me.

Continue to hold onto that kid inside you and let it lose sometimes. Don’t give into depressive thoughts. Pray to God for support. You can do it ❤
Wow!! Keep holding on strong! Thank you for this beautiful comment!
There's no good praying, nobody is listening
This song means a lot to me. It's just like Ed described... it feels like the end of the youth and pain starts taking over.
As a child everything was fine, but now as an adult it's very hard to find a day when I can say "everything is fine, this was a great day". I wish the old times would come back. Me back in the arms of the people dear to me who already passed away. No fears, no concerns for what comes next.

Who even feels like that?
@@supertramp5586 Other people that aren't you ;)
@@supertramp5586 Me, that’s who. Me.
Can't stop listening to this album. Thank you, Ed.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been depressed since you left, tried to fill the hole with wine
Stopped the drugs when she came, cleaned my act up overnight
If you reach with no reply, I'll see you when I see you, man
You can't talk me through the fall if we don't know if I can land
Tried to grow, but the past, it tears me down to size
Tell the world how to process, but don't take the same advice
Half remember what I said, then the morning's filled with fear
Can't get a handle on my grief when every memory turns to tears
[Pre-Chorus]
It's been a long year and we're not even halfway there
[Chorus]
Is this the ending of our youth when pain starts takin' over?
I just don't know if I can ever just let it go
Everything's fallin' apart, when love is real, there’s never closure
I guess it's all part of life, but I can't help but feel low
We spend our youth with arms and hearts wide open
And then the dark gets in and that's the end of youth
[Verse 2]
I've been lost since the teens but pretend it's all alright
All my ups led to falls that led to try to end my life
Just a boy at the start, they lent on like a man
You were meant to be my friend and not to take all that you can
Disengaged to create, try to reinvent the wheel
No one knows what they want, so, I just give you what I feel
If I slip and get high, I know the low is always near
When I'm down, I never see you, when I'm up, you all appear
[Pre-Chorus]
It's been a long year and we're not even halfway there
[Chorus]
Is this the ending of our youth when pain starts takin' over?
I just don't know if I can ever just let it go
Everything's fallin' apart, when love is real, there’s never closure
I guess it’s all part of life, but I can't help but feel low
We spend our youth with arms and hearts wide open
And then the dark gets in and that's the end of youth
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
It's been a long year and we're not even halfway there
[Chorus]
Is this the ending of our youth when pain starts takin' over?
I just don't know if I can ever just let it go
Everything's fallin' apart, when love is real, there’s never closure
I guess it's all part of life, but I can't help but feel low
We spend our youth with arms and hearts wide open
And then the dark gets in and that's the end of youth
We spend our youth with arms and hearts wide open
And then the dark gets in and that's the end of youth
Ed's voice never gets old ❤️
This album is marvelous 💛
I've been feeling quite low this year, so the songs are really relatable. They are not loud or too dynamic which is absolutely perfect. I've cried over them several times, and I'm so grateful that Ed released these masterpieces just when I needed it.

This is exactly how I've been feeling. It's so heavy.
