    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

    LYRICS
    [Verse 1]
    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
    [Chorus]
    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 favourite 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 now I'll forever wonder why
    We never got to finish the book of you and I
    [Verse 2]
    Well, I bought a pen and I turned the page
    Then I wrote about how I wish you'd stay
    I said all the things that I never got to say
    Maybe when it's done I will feel okay
    That she had grown so distant
    And that her love had shifted
    I wish she felt the same
    [Chorus]
    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 favourite 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 now I'll forever wonder why
    We never got to finish the book of you and I
    [Bridge]
    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
    [Chorus]
    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 favourite 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 now I'll forever wonder why
    We never got to finish the book of you and I
    Wish you a great day 💙🙏🏻

    I was standing by the water fountain in the end of the summer writing the book of you and I when I saw Steve being used to do Annabelle's homework and that reminded me how you let me down slowly after i killed some one for you, this happened 1 week after my friend revealed himself to be the wolf as the sheep and put a knife in my back.

No hate tho and I don’t wanna attract unwanted attention of his stans.

    As a writer, I tend to write everything down... And I was really in love with him, so sometimes I'd just watch him and write a bunch of short stories, and sometimes chapters of my novels because I was so in love and I just wanted to write everything and treasure it...
    He was in love with me, and so one day he wanted to write our book together. He was writing for the first time so I taught him step by step to write his first chapter while I'd just improvise what he wrote...
    And then one day he fell in love with someone else... His ex...
    He told me he was never really in love with me, but was just trying to forget her... And so he tore up our book that I had to stay up just improvising what he wrote, the book that made me sleep at 5am and wake up at 7 after spending all night writing for him...
    I was broken since then and had stopped even wanting to write.
    All I want to do now is die...
    Knowing him and my best friend are happy together...
    How selfish I am...

      This doesn't make you selfish. It makes your friend an idiot for being that way. If you think about it. He was the selfish one. Just took your feelings so that he could feel better and then leave you there. Tearing up the book is just a childish act. We all know that everyone reading this knows that. You spent so long and so hard trying to mend a relationship together. That is what you should remember. That you tried. And that guy wasn't good enough for you. He couldn't handle such amazing-ness (I know that isn't a word) from anyone. You don't have to die because of that either. You don't have to die because of someone else's mistakes. You aren't selfish. You're just you.

    • @nunbinbanbu
      @nunbinbanbu 3 роки тому +7

      You should not call yourself selfish. First of all, if your friend knew you were in love with him, she should have never gotten with him but she did which makes her a bad friend. Second, he should have never played with your feelings. There are other ways to get over someone, dating some one else and playing with their feelings is bad. He knew you loved him and if he didn't love you, he should have just said it before he dated you so that you wouldn't have been as hurt as you are now.
      Please don't do something that will hurt the people who actually care about you. You are going to find so many better people who'll stay with you forever.
      And also, try writing one more time. Maybe about how he treated you and maybe it will help you get over him.
      😊I wish the best for you

    [Verse 1]
    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 the love was shifting
    And all that I could say was
    [Chorus]
    Don't tell me that it's over
    The book of you and I
    Now you've scribbled out my name
    And you erased my favourite 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
    [Verse 2]
    When I bought a pen
    And I turned the page
    And I wrote about how I wish you'd stay
    I said all the things that I never got to say
    Maybe when it's done I will feel okay
    That she had grown so distant
    And that her love had shifted
    I wish she felt the same
    [Chorus]
    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 favourite 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
    [Bridge]
    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
    [Chorus]
    Don't tell me that it's over
    The book of you and I
    Now you've scribbled out my name
    And you erased my favourite 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

    This song is literally and completely how my last relationship ended. I fell in love with a childhood friend and I had never felt that way before. It was like everytime I saw him, all bad emotions would drain out of me. We stayed together but I slowly noticed him not wanting to come over, or hang out in general. I would ask him every day if he still loved me, and of course he said yes. Until one day he didn't. It was over just like that, I didn't get any reasons, but I knew it was over before it even ended.

      I don't want to say I know exactly how you feel because everybody deals with things differently. But I can say I've had a similar situation. I fell in love with my best friend and after a year I told her. I stayed in the friendzone for about four months after that then she started to like me. Finally, after asking her to be with me for a couple weeks she said yes. When we were together everything was perfect. We were so close. But after about a month and a half, it seemed like she was drifting away. I didn't know what to do and I was scared. So I didn't say anything. I regret that so much. We had a class field trip and you would have never expected she would break up with me the next day. I was expecting it but like I said I didn't do anything. We had planned to talk that day and I was hoping I could fix this. In the end, I watched her walk away. But I want you to know one thing. It will get better someday. It has been almost a year since we broke up and I'm still not that ok, but I'm getting there. Someone will be there for you. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel.

    This song makes me cry almost every time, only song that can do that to me. Especially the line "There were so many chapters we never got to write, like cereal for dinner, and staying up all night." It's the little things in a relationship that make me happy, such as "Cereal for dinner, and staying up all night." Thinking I might not be able to ever achieve that with the person I currently love, breaks my heart I don't know why I have these thoughts of never being able to, we clearly love each other very much but I always focus on that for some reason. I've obtained happiness and I'm so lucky to have her, but I always... and I mean always worry about losing her. I just want to keep her forever and I guess just the thought of not being able to, is the only thing I have to worry about. I love you, Vivian. Truly and honestly with all of my heart. Thank you for everything.

    Never got to show her the love I could’ve shown her, but I never would’ve imagined the pain I felt to see her someone else’s arms and when one of my friends told me that she said I was “weird and ugly.”
    It broke me and I’ve never truly healed from it. I just want the emptiness and pain in my heart to go away so I can feel once more, but with Alec’s songs I know that there is a person who understands what I’m going through when no one else will help me.

    I got what I expected, and even more. I'd love to point again once again how meaningful are your songs. And not just that: there are other songs with great message, I won't lie. But the story. Oh god, the story! I have never ever heard an artist tell stories in songs in such a touching way. Even without the clip (which is also great; I read your pinned comment, believe me, It was worth it) you can understand it. Not with your ears, not with your brain, but with your heart. The lyrics is just great. I don't have words for that. And I haven't even mentoined the music! The guitar, your voice, how well the Rhythm is... Incredible job.
    Also, I have been here before the premier, and I just cannot watch the chat, it was so fast, with all the hearts, "I can't wait!" and other positive comments. It just made me smile. I think its really unfair, how underrated you are. Well, I guess its no ones, more like zhe world, the society's fault. People find an easy escape from the reality with music, a door for light-heartedness and happines, but that isn't what the case should be. And im glad you know it. Seeing the chat my eyes hurt But it just made me realise, that there still a lot of people who loves your music. Who understands it, and make them satisfied just like me. I guess those who really need it found you.
    Well, summary: Keep on going! You are on the best way you could be. And maybe my opinion doesn't really matter, I am just a nameless girl here,you maybe won't ever read thi, but I wanted to say thank you.
    Share peace and love!
