      I don't know... Every song sends tears to my eyes, but this one is the most emotional to me. The part that I don't get is it hurts me the most yet I don't know why 😢
      Edit: Forgot to add... Ben's voice is a gift... Love it!!!

    You can hear him crying at 1:57 and 2:01. Also the emotion he puts into "did you read " at 2:31 has me hella emotional. This song freaking killed me.

      My friend literally argues with me bcs I like Ben Platt and I don't like Billie Eilish. She actually says

    [Lyrics]
    I don't know if you're listening
    or if you wanted to hear from me
    I don't feel like you're supposed to
    when somebody sets you free
    I'm not good at pretending
    that I'm happy to be alone
    part of me is a question
    can't answer it on my own
    'cause I lost part of me when I lost all of you
    now I'm lost
    I don't want to come crawling, crawling
    but I catch myself falling, falling
    I could try to stop calling, calling
    just to show myself
    Did you keep my sweater, sweater
    Did you read my letter, letter
    Do you know me better, better
    Than I know myself
    Do you know me better, better
    than I know myself
    I don't feel like we're done here
    You got a lock on the things I want
    I'm a lost lonely one here
    who's addicted to holding on
    I don't have you to kiss now
    and I'm putting myself to sleep
    but it's me that I miss now
    there's a me that I didn't keep
    I don't want to come crawling, crawling
    but I catch myself falling, falling
    I could try to stop calling, calling
    just to show myself
    Did you keep my sweater, sweater
    Did you read my letter, letter
    Do you know me better, better
    Than I know myself
    Do you know me better, better
    than I know myself
    ((ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh))
    than I know myself
    ((ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh))
    'cause I lost part of me when I lost all of you
    now I'm lost
    I don't want to come crawling, crawling
    but I catch myself falling, falling
    I could try to stop calling, calling
    just to show myself
    Did you keep my sweater, sweater
    Did you read my letter, letter
    Do you know me better, better
    Do you know me better, better
    than I know myself
    than I know myself
    I don't want to wait any longer
    For the feeling of getting stronger
    Maybe that's why I wrote a song for you
    'Cause you know me better, better
    than I know myself

And seeing mental health and growth healthily represented in music is also a big thing!! Aside from the amazing messages, the music as a whole (rhythm, melodies, lyrics,) are all beautiful songs. Like I said, I have legit tears in my eyes.
