I love the stripped back version to really feel the emotion in his voice. The lyrics hit much harder with this version. I love it!

[SoberinAM]

isnt it sad to let go people who could be happier with someone than us?

[dbro]

For some reason, I feel his “yeahs” so much

[MarylouVillegas]

This version made me feel every word 🙌🙌

[alarconrichaela]

this version has always been my favorite

[KillerConfidenceQueen]

When I was going through heartache, I heard “you’re not mine anymore”

When I was happy, I heard “you’re my all and more”

Incredible how music connects with your mind.

The voice crack in "I should leave because you deserve better" had me sobbing ;;;

[chatnoir]

The amazing thing is, unlike most artists these days, When he sings live we can clearly state that his voice is natural and does NOT need autotune.

I've never felt so identified or represented with a track. I just wanna say thank you Lauv for this song which is pushing me to give my best version to the world.

It's sad when you had everything with a person, when you believed in that relationship, when you though "we are the best couple ever", but all gone to the shit. In that moment you learn how love and life works: you gotta break up because it's the best option to both. Relationship turned in a toxic thing and that's not healthy to nobody.

You lived and learned a lot of things with that person, but now it's time to walk alone.

Go ahead, never go back.

Go up, never give up.

Remember: you can do whatever you want for yourself. You're the most important person in the world.

Thanks for so much, Lauv.

I was lucky enough to see him play this live in London this year because this song was the song that.. well.. the girl that ill never stop loving used this song to tell me that she still loves me and wanted to be together again.. after she broke up with me after almost a year.. even though she still left a while after, its been almost 2 years now that she left me but im still in love with her.. and this song reminds me of that moment that she told me that she loved me and its something that ill never forget.. i've still never met her.. and i don't think i ever will be lucky enough to... i guess thats my blue note..

2020, heartbroken but still struggling to believe.

[Verse 1]
I've watched those eyes light up with a smile
River in the not good times
Oh, you taught me all that I know
I've seen your soul grow just like a rose
Made it through all of those thorns
Girl into the woman I know

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's killing me, me to say "I'm fine, " "I'm fine"
When I really mean, mean to say...

[Chorus]
You're my all and more
All I know you taught me, yeah
You're my all and more
But I need room to breathe, yeah

[Verse 2]
I found New York laying in your arms
We'll melt into the bedroom floor
Never knew I'd stay for so long
And this truth cuts not through one, but both
Not through one, but both of us
But it's deeper if I hold on

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's killing me, me to say "I'm fine, " "I'm fine"
When I really mean, mean to say...

[Chorus]
You're my all and more
All I know you taught me, yeah
You're my all and more
But I need room to breathe, yeah

[Bridge]
Gotta breathe for me, it's now or never
Gotta breathe for me, it's now or never
I should leave, 'cause you deserve better, better
Gave my all and more
But I need room to be me

[Chorus]
You're my all and more
All I know you taught me, yeah
You're my all and more
But I need room to breathe, yeah

[zenaden]

NOOO I CAN'T this is too emotional

[KyluxianPvP]

The sign of a good song - when you strip it back and it still sounds amazing.

[hellocharlieebarley]

This was beautiful. This was the first song I'd ever heard from him about a year ago, and it came at such a sad point in my life, but it was the kind of song I needed to hear. Love this Mahogany session ugh

[MystiqueA]
