    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

    This reminds me of someone I used to love...
    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...

    • @Nikzel0
      @Nikzel0 3 년 전 +12

      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 년 전 +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

    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 💙🙏🏻

    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.

    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.

    [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

      Songs are written to tweak the emotional heart strings and are pretty effective on the raw and naked feelings of youth. That's why music is so relatable. It's also the producer, engineers who help the musician with their experience and expertise to use notes, chords and melodies to produce a sound of melancholy or sadness. Yes, there is some manipulation of your poor feelings there. That's why producers in music studios are usually gifted individuals for record companies to make lots of money.

    Alec... I just paused the video at 1:13 and I'm already struggling to not cry. I'm not a very emotional person since I tend to bury all the major thoughts before I can worry myself, but this is too beautiful. Thanks for continuing to make music that pushes me through the day

    I love his music because it changes to fit the story he is trying to tell, not what is popular. He doesn’t change his style to appeal to the majority, he just does his own thing, and lets us either like it or not, and for me I love it. He tells a story and he is way to underrated.

    I listen to this song almost every time I have a depressive episode... which is very often. I hope you take that as a good thing, seeing as how deeply I relate to this song and lyrics within. Every time I hear it, it just gets me drawn into it entirely.
