I can relate. I lost my fiance to a fatal hit and run on January 12th, 2019. I was twelve weeks pregnant with our son at the time. And this song hits hard. I disvovered this a year after he passed. It hits me hard sometimes because I miss him so much. I lost my entire future at only 17 years old. And I'm about to be 19, a single Mom to my late fiance's child. These lyrics explain everything I'm going through and the things I wish I could say to him. Rip Austin 💕 I hope to see you again ome day.
I always figured this song was about a breakup, but watching this makes it make even more sense. Like it explains why there is no anger towards the girl like in other pop punk breakup songs and the line "The ground takes in the better man I could've been" means a lot more in this context. Awesome song!
Inyourownwords Would love to hear the band talk about the making of the song. All the details of this song had me walking through the halls of a significant love being married to someone other than me.
That's always how I interpreted the song too. I know Collin has explained in an article the song is about a guy who skips his wedding and then his bride-to-be ends up dying and he forever regrets it. I've always like to think of it as like your first love going on to marry someone else though, thought I was the only one!
Lost my high school sweetheart of 17 years to the world. We were married for 10. Fell in love with this song when it came out, just didnt know i would relate to it years later. Now I waste my days away knowing I cant recover. Paige, im forever yours.

"Forever Yours" "This was the last song we wrote on the record. Dallas and I often feel out song ideas acoustically before demoing them out. This time, we went into writing knowing that all along this track felt right as an acoustic one. The song is about a relationship of mine put into a story-like setting. The bride in the story ends up tragically passing away, after her spouse doesn't show up to their wedding. He lives on guilt ridden and haunted. " This is the explanation which came out in an article about the meaning of the songs in their album.
I lost my fiancé about a month ago to a heroin overdose and I randomly stumbled across this song a few weeks ago. It reminds me of him. Such a beautiful, sad song.
Literally first comment I ever made on youtube but I had to write one to you, I lost my true love/best friend/daughters father from a heroine overdose on 4/3/18 and maybe a year ago I dedicated this song to him. I just went to say I am sorry and you're not alone. This comment is a year late but I hope you are doing okay. It's been almost 2 years for me and it is still hard...I've been moving on in life because what are we supposed to do? This is my first death experience so idk what to do and I have a little girl who needs her mama but damn....I still think of him everyday and cry everyone so often. Just thought it was a coincidence that you lost your love from heroine and stumbled upon this song just like I did
I discovered this when it first came out, and over the years, I keep coming back for different reasons, different sadness 😢 Thank you for being my comfort song. It's 2024 and I still cry to 'the ground takes in the better man I could have been' 😢
I never actually commented on her but this song means so much to me. I lost the love of my life back in late 2017 and this song describes exactly how I felt and still feel to this day. We were just about to move country together. I lost everything I ever wanted and with that, basically my entire future and I’m still so lost. I’ve tried therapy and counselling but it didn’t do anything for me, I know I can’t recover - this is always gonna be a part of me and I will never forget him. RIP Aaron, forever in my heart. I can’t wait to see you again
@@bleakobituary i wasn’t expecting you to respond because the comment was three years old haha. I am glad you appreciate it. Even if you aren’t religious Jesus still loves you and he will always be there for you waiting with open arms for you to run to him. Maybe it will annoy you but i want you to hear the gospel, and it’s this. If you were to die tonight where would you go? We all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Everyone has lied, lusted, stolen, murdered (the Bible says if you hate someone it is murder in your heart). And because of that sin that we are going to have a punishment. And that punishment is hell. To burn for eternity. But there is hope. God did something to pay our debt essentially. In court someone can pay off a fine and the person can go free. God did the same thing for us by sending Jesus, his son, to earth as a perfect lamb, someone who never sinned, to die. For you, for me, for everyone. He was sent to die so that the debt that you owed could be payed. So that whoever believes on the Lord Jesus Christ and confesses that he is Lord will be saved. So that when you pass on, you will have eternal life with him in heaven forever. Today was Easter Sunday and it is the day we celebrate what Jesus did for us by dying and being an atonement for our sins, paying our fine and then rising again, conquering death three days later. I am truly sorry for your loss and i hope and pray you are doing okay. Life is so precious and none of us know when we die. So accept God as your savior, confess he is Lord, and live a life for him and let him transform all the heartache into joy. Jesus loves you so much. And if you have any questions please respond back to my comment. God can transform your life and make it so bright and beautiful. Hardships may come but he gets you through it all. If you don’t have a Bible i would recommend buying one and reading it. I am praying for you and i assure you that there is hope and love in Jesus ❤️. God loves you and if you walk away from this thinking that reading this was just a waste of time, i promise you it wasn’t. I spent time to write this because i care about you. I have never met you but i care about you. I don’t want you to die and go to hell. I want you to surrender to God and live for him. God bless you. I am praying for you😊
I feel that....in a way i feep i fucked up...but in reality it just wasnt 50 50....it sucks becuz the longer the relationship the harder it can be bcuz how you are when you first get together vs being together for like 3 or 4 years....it changes....but enough of the negative thoughts just keep you head up theres plenty of people out in the world im prettt sure there is someone for everyone
I hope you won't have any more pain than love pain (I mean break up not death). There are so many problems in this world. Love pain is nothing compared to them. I hope you are okay now but don't forget this when you are feeling sad about unnecessary things.
Sometimes I wish I knew what it was like to be in love. The closest thing I’ve ever gotten to feeling a sort of romantic “love” for someone was when I was thirteen. I’m seventeen now... I don’t really have crushes on people and I don’t think people even really like me. It’s not lonely at all since I relish in my loneliness but at the same time, I do wish I knew the sensations of being with somebody. I just fear that I will never know what this is like. I know I’m lucky in a sense because I don’t have to deal with any heartbreak and all that but I’m sure being undeniably in love with somebody is pretty amazing. I’m still really young so I don’t want to rush this part of my life since I’m quite introverted and awkward but my day will come hopefully. What a beautiful song and video.
This song is so powerful. I usually never cry and doesnt matter the situation, but this song made me cry like a little boy, thinking about happening something like this to me and my gf is just devastating and made me think a lot
I lost somebody very special to me two years ago.. I always think about how things could have been if he was still here. This song definitely gets me in my feels..
God I cry so hard when I hear this song cuz all I think if is my grandmother and how she's never coming back and Collin (the lead singer of Grayscale) feels that too. The song is basically telling his love that even tho I've moved on I in actuality haven't really moved on and even tho she wants him to be happy and find another person now that she's passed away he can't and even if he does she'll always be "forever yours". The song has a deep meaning most Pop Punk songs don't have. Also mental illness is obviously present in this song and clearly the video. Cuz Collin's in group and group is only for ppl who've gonna crazy (I know this cuz I've had to be put in the psych ward and I had to go to group therapy). So this makes it known that mental illness eventually affect us all in some way shape or form and this definitely needs to be put out there cuz ppl suffer with this each and everyday even if they don't show it every day it's still there and will always be there till the day we die.
nothing in this world is better than true love. Not those fakes marrying someone for their wallet or those who use you, or those who just pretend just so they can get to your heart and hurt you. Why am i saying this, i've never felt it, virtually maybe but it's still not real to me.
Pop punk acoustic ballads are the best.
Lotte Yanson areeed they pull heart strings 100% more god i miss her..
Can you suggest me more songs like this?
Smoking Thrillz If It Means A Lot To You by A Day to Remember, and On Life On Love by Bayside come to mind
I Prevail - Alone
Wish You Were Here by Neck Deep
If I'm Lucky by State Champs
I'm crying. You're crying. We're all crying
yes.
Me : I'm definitely not crying
Also me :hides away and crying quietly
Literally have never had a song make me want to cry until right now.
meh, its tiny onion cutting ninja's...
We're in this together

I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s one of my biggest fears. Stay strong. ❤️
Sorry for your loss :(
I am sorry to hear . I hope you are doing well now and hope your life gets better .
💜💜💜💜
I hope things are going well for you.
Accidently clicked on this & yo.... i wasn't even trying to cry today lol

"Drop the weight of my sins, the ground takes in the better man I could've been"

Inyourownwords thanks for the info. I guess you can take it multiple ways thats how music works.
So did I!
I thought this was a break up song at first. Now I'm all depressed and shit

My favorite song ever by them. Was just wondering a few days ago when a music video would come out for it!!
this is a jam
State Champs NY brought me here from IG & i’m so glad i found this band! 🖤🙌🏼 speaking to my soul...
It's my opinion that this is the best song of the '10s. A shame so few know about it.
This is the best music video ever recorded, thank you.
my heart
When the chorus comes on you can feel his pain. It’s amazing.
The part with sirens hit me hard
Love this band wanna see them live

This song like me every time I hear it. Chilling
I'm happy to have been through the pain neccessary to fully appreciate songs like this.
I'm in love with this song
This song never gets old.
God I cry so hard when I hear this song cuz all I think if is my grandmother and how she's never coming back and Collin (the lead singer of Grayscale) feels that too.

THANK YOU GUYS... I cried a lot
Just found out about you from Headrush guitar effects website. Love your songs. Best band I've heard in years.

Such a good song.
nothing in this world is better than true love. Not those fakes marrying someone for their wallet or those who use you, or those who just pretend just so they can get to your heart and hurt you. Why am i saying this, i've never felt it, virtually maybe but it's still not real to me.
there goes my valentine's day. i miss being inlove. lmao
This has some serious Mayday Parade vibes! I love it!
Such a great song! Greetings from Malaysia!
My heart will go on
