Directed by James Charles
Starring Easton Magliarditi & Eric Klich
Choreographed by Lonni Olson

LYRICS:
Haunted by these ghosts inside of my glass house
Pull me in, lead me on, let me down, and I wonder how
Was I dumb and naive to believe that you wanted me
Can you tell me please
Did you know at the time, it was lies
Coming out your mouth when

You said I was beautiful
That your emotions were available, yeah the
Long nights, long flights, you were feeling it
Then you promised that I wasn't an experiment
You said you've never done this before
Same breath said you want this for sure
So I said can we go to bed, and you said
Can we just be friends

It was words on the phone, now it's real, and you're not so bold
Pour a glass, all alone, make a toast to a love gone cold
They say insanity, is to do something, about a million times
And hope it comes out differently
I guess that I'm insane
Are you entertained cause

You said I was beautiful
That your emotions were available, yeah the
Long nights, long flights, you were feeling it
Then you promised that I wasn't an experiment
You said you've never done this before
Same breath said you want this for sure
So I said can we go to bed, and you said
Can we just be friends

I know that I ain't perfect, but it's hurting
cause this ain't turning out the way it's supposed to be
Hardest pill that I swallowed, leaves me hollow
Cause I think we see each other differently

You said I was your everything,
That you were done with her and wanted me
Yeah your brown eyes, white lies, had to ruin it
Thought you promised that I wasn't an experiment
Should've known I've been through this before
You fuck around and then you go back to her
I tried my best but I can't pretend,
That after this we could ever be friends
No I don't wanna be friends
I said I don't wanna be friends

Not me thinking one of the dancers was james charles 😭😭

This is a beautiful music video. Honestly, there’s something so humble about watching a music video, that doesn’t showcase the singer/artist as the main character. The singing is amazing, and I love how the dancers get the spotlight and are able to showcase their own talents and abilities. Such a masterpiece, this is a win for James Charles 👏

This is one of the most beautiful things i have ever watched. The way he picks him up and makes him feel loved just to throw him back down. Ive never seen a dance represent something so much. This video means the world to me james.

the dancing. the acting. the direction. THE SONG. I cannot begin to explain how much this song meant to me and made me want to start bawling my eyes out. it was so deep and had a beautiful story and James's vocal were absolutely amazing. I fell in love with Call Me Back and now THIS? This is magical. What a masterpiece this song is and will become in the future.

Can we talk about how EMOTIONAL that bridge intertwined into that quieter chorus “you said I was your everything” JAMES YOU ARE BORN FOR MUSIC.

The dancers have me absolutely hypnotized... The words to the moves... I'm hurt in the best way...

This is so inspirational to me because for years people ridiculed James singing, most people would just give up. But he literally said I'm gonna show you, I'm gonna work hard and you'll see I can do this. And he did. I don't condone things that he has done but this is absolutely beautiful and the full song is even better than I expected it to be from the snippets. I am blown away. James, you should be incredibly proud of yourself, you did it dude. This is beyond stunning.
