"Are you still there or have you moved away?" kills me every time

[hdhddhdhd]

I once loved a girl who reminded me of this song, each listen is a painful reminder of a relationship that never was

[kaguth]

This is one of their more simple songs, musically and lyrically but it perfectly expresses something most of us can relate to

[lovesjjk]

I can't listen to this song without feeling so nostalgic.

[andersontdi]

"And you never knew
How much I really liked you
Because I never even told you"

[silenceblue]

So sad and melancholically beautiful !!

[sandijohnson]

Morrissey’s voice is just amazing. How do we get him to live forever?

[nahreallylilly]

the smiths are so....theyre so great im blanking because even with my extensive vocabulary there is no word big or extravagant enough to describe their greatness

[facepalmmigraine]

This is the tune I hummed in the cattle car on my way to basic in '89.

We finally moved out our old house, and it was hard for me. My parents wanted to get out as fast as they could, we had raised cats there, and it was hard to let them go. Oh but so many things happened in there, so many memories as they said. I remember me eating apple sauce in my high chair, playing hide n seek with my older sister, playing games in there, celebrating birthdays, oh the time has passed. We sometimes pass by the house, it’s a heartbreaking experience for someone like me to just. Let go of it so suddenly, my sister came back to the house to see the cats we raised and took care of, she tried *so* hard to make them remember her, but when they came, they treated her like they never knew her at all. I sometimes think Back about that house, the noisy neighbors, the get-togethers, the lopsided floors, the old windows. And now, it’s already the start of a new year, my gosh, I’ll miss you Munger.

This song just wrenches my gut every time i hear it, i love it

[clement]

I would rather not go
Back to the old house
I would rather not go
Back to the old house
There's too many bad memories
Too many memories there
When you cycled by
Here began all my dreams
The saddest thing I've ever seen
And you never knew
How much I really liked you
Because I never even told you
Oh, and I meant to
Are you still there or have you moved away?
Or have you moved away?
I would love to go
Back to the old house
But I never will
I never will
I never will

[kashmirirose]

I've never felt so much pain as I just did, listening to this beautiful song.

[keerpacopeca]

I'm so grateful they're releasing lyric videos

[MichaelLuke-wp]

they just about sum up nearly everything you ever felt about life, loss and wasted opportunitys, absolutely profound ❤❤😢

[Nicole-elsg]

This music leaves me deeply sad and nostalgic ❤

I liked this guy who liked me back. Everyone of my friends said I was delulu, but his friends told me and it was obvious. We always smiled at each other, he would try to be close to me, etc. We always got close to, but never talked because we are years apart in middle school. When I left to move to the country I was in now, I never got the chance to tell him…. Now i found out he switched schools last minute so now I don’t even know where he is. I can never forgive myself 😢😢😢

[Bruno-cgxe]

small band, hope they get the recognition they deserve

[Bludjustgoaway]

"And you never knew
How much i really liked you
Because i never even told you"
