I broke up with my girlfriend... this song says it all. She was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me no matter how I wished I loved her. Sorry again Emily...
and suddenly i see that i was doing the same probably... i WANTED it to work, so much, i wanted to finally have found someone who would be right for me.. i wanted it to be meaningful... so we both created this wrong unreal thing, this pseudo-love but in the end it couldn't exist, it broke down at the first chance it seems... i didn't want it to end, didn't want to loose this "love" as unreal as might be, .. the thing is, it's nobody's fault. sometimes one really wants to but is just not ABLE to.
@Saurovic yeah, my ex and i were together for seven months. three months in i felt like he was getting tired of me, but we both held on because we loved each other and we had hope. it wasn't until he started getting abusive that we actually broke up. but yeah, it is hard.
wow. this song had such a big impact on me, somehow it just changed my angle completely... since he told me that he cared about me, then ended it all so suddenly i felt used.. utterly disdained as a human being by the way he treated me. i just saw myself as victim, how could he do this to me, be such a hypocrite. now i understand how helpless he was... that he didn't intend to fool me and break me down but that he indeed WANTED to love me, that he tried to make it be real - but it just wasn't...
I loved/love someone. No words in existence can begin to comprehend the feelings i felt. so happy i cried tears of joy the first time he said i love you. he left me for someone else. yet still tells me he loves me. 6 long months of pain and i still can't reach hope for relief.. if its anyone who can relate to this song, its me. it was rare love. an uncontrollable love. no matter who else comes along, its never the same.. so i join you, and others in the suffering search of happiness.
@Lizzzyyyyyyy hey. idk why but i was reading comments and i read your comment. i feel the exact same. i have your exact problem. haha i read that and i was like dang, did i comment that? haha like no joke. you took the words right outta my mouth. thank you. its nice knowing im not the only one.
As i listen to this song, i can feel the emotion, the heartbreak that he is expressing. No matter how much i say i hate these lyrics because i could never do that to someone, i still say its my favorite song by death cab. almost makes me want to cry...
I can't hear this without thinking this is what my ex thought about me. And as much as it hurts me to think that, I can't help but love this song. And crying to this song.
Isn't this how it always seems. The world seems this way to me. Religion may seem like a beautiful, thing but it still might not mean a thing. Life may be beautiful, but it still might not mean a thing. A lover and a friend may be beautiful, but they still may not mean a thing.
i've been in love once. it was the most unbelievable 6 months of my life. words don't do it justice. but it ended. and i've spent a very long time trying to recreate those feelings. it's just so difficult and painful.
it's comforting and heart-wrenching to listen to this song, as well as many other songs written by death cab. but listening to them, it let's me know that i'm not the only one suffering in the search of happiness.
@lucidblu3 dont worry. one day you will find love. in some ways it helps to know that there is some one out there , that you havent met, will steal your heart away.
@lucidblu3 First love is something you'll never forget. There will never be a feeling like the one you had with them. You'll love again, And you'll love them deeper. But sad thing is, It won't be as magical.
@lucidblu3 it's funny how much this describes my life. it was 6 months for me too, and it's been a little more than a year since it's been over, and it still really effects me. but lately, i really let go. there are so many other great things in life and i can't waste them being nostalgic.
this song is soo true when you say goodbye. ou wabt to think it was real but it juz wasn't no mater how hard u try to see it real. she doe=sent mean anything. you realize there is something called life that u need to pay more attnton to and find your purpose
Fags.

That you told her that you loved her but you don't.
You touch her skin and then you think
That she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me.
