"Now, I can't seem to remember why we ever felt we had to say goodbye."

DIDNT EXPECT THAT I'D BE THIS HURT

[Leticia-pdgn]

when hayley said “sorry for freaking out” i felt that

[hannahjoyramos]

“I spent the weekend at home again” never been more true

[christiangatchallan]

This song is about hayley saying "sorry" even though she's the one who is in pain.

[Moochael]

The piano just makes the song more emotionally raw

[hyphe_n.]

This song feels like the moments you remember someone who isn’t with you anymore and you’re trying to remember why things are different now and you wonder what that person is up to.

It’s kind of sad to think about because I’m reminded of a friendship that I lost but I don’t think I could’ve done more to have kept it.

Edit: 2.5k likes 🥺 I’m sorry y’all are hurt just as I was. Hoping y’all are better💕

[kamapaprika]

it’s like me and Hayley went through the same phase. And now i’ve got songs that take me all the way back. Damn, that rawness in her songs just hits different than any other artist’s!

[kpopster]

The genuineness of this song reminds me of "Tell Me How" 😭♥️

[ximenatorres]

I just hope she gets to feel the love she deserves.

[ElisabethFreiberger]

this feels so personal and raw. the fact that we live at the same time, however sad and confusing it may be, as Hayley is sharing this with the world makes me feel so special

[Lily-ifvm]

hayley williams is saving me during this quarantine

[faearies]

this song came at such a perfect time. i’m in a phase where i keep losing people in my life, and i don’t feel like there’s anything i can do about it but accept it as it is. but sometimes, i tend to miss the other person and i just want to talk about why, and what happened? why we ever felt the need to say goodbye?

[sammarie]

Even if it's not the song's intention, singing this song feels like I'm talking to a past version of myself about my all my pains and feelings and eventually apologizing to myself for letting my soul hurt so bad.


It's beautiful how music can be interpreted in so many different ways.

[seeslug]

This is an extremely heavy one and I can feel every word she is saying. This is such a good emotional release.

[theboyhasnoname]

"Sorry for freaking out."

How I feel knowing I hurt somebody unintentionally after an episode. The guilt of it is just overwhelming. I felt the brokeness when Hayley sang that line.

[nly_]

Sucks when you need closure but the other person in the relationship wont give it to you

[neslicansuzen]

Hayley: here is the new so-
Me: I love it


-i wanted to add this. This song became very special to me, especially "sorry for freaking out" part bc I had the same situation so close time. He didn't want to "say something warm" I just wanted talk about it. Its the deepest feeling seeing someone unable to talk their feelings. Sorry for freaking out. Sorry I had to leave.-

[creedreaming]

I just love how Hayley had such a skyrocketing carreer with paramore and is still a really famous artist and even though all that happened she is still a normal person driving her own car and having normal peoples problems. That's what makes her so authentic and that's what I love about her music. Stay as you are, we love you exactly the way you are.

[michaellaporte]

This song just gets me. When she starts playing the piano at 1:54, and you can hear the keys lifting and the bench creaking, I had like goosebumps, because it sounds just like my creaking old piano that I play when I'm in a slump sometimes. Just such a beautiful song . I think if I had heard this song in 2016/2017, it probably would have destroyed me.

[karlamina]

Hayley Williams: *breathe*
Me: I think imma stan
