Line by Line Meaning

Just be friends All we gotta do
We should just be friends and move on


Just be friends It's time to say goodbye
It's time to say goodbye and end our relationship


Just be friends Just be friends...
Let's just be friends and nothing more


The morning before, it came to me quickly
I suddenly thought about yesterday's morning


Like gathering up the pieces of a broken glass
I wondered what we were doing, collecting the fragments


What exactly is this? Drops fall from my cut fingers
I don't understand what we were doing and blood is dripping from my fingers


Did we really want to do this?
In my heart, I knew it was the hardest choice but the best choice we could make


Refusing to accept that choice, and the repeated collision of my ego and my outcomes
My selfishness stopped me from accepting the choice and resulted in negative consequences


I wonder when I'll be able to say it
I wonder when I'll be able to express my true feelings


In this slowly decaying world, my only salvation is to struggle
In this deteriorating world, my only hope is to keep fighting


Engraving your faded smile, I pulled the plug
I reminisce the times we had and finally let go of the memories


I screamed until my voice went hoarse, the echo painfully ringing hollow
I yelled until my throat hurt, but the echo sounded empty and hollow


Beyond the released chains, nothing remains
After finally breaking free, there's nothing left between us


The coincidence that brought us together, now flickers and breaks
The coincidence that brought us together is now fracturing and breaking apart


After all, this is just how it is, whispered the tears rolling down my parched cheeks of someone else
After everything, I realize that this is how things are, some else's tears rolling down my dry skin


All we gotta do Just be friends
Let's just be friends and move on with our lives


It's time to say goodbye Just be friends
It's time for us to say goodbye and end our relationship, and be friends instead


I realized it last night, in the calm of the evening
Last night, in the calm of the evening, I realized something important


Even if we pick up the fallen petals, they won't bloom again, this is the small death in the palm of our hands
Even if we try to hold on to our feelings, they won't come back, something has died between us


Our time stopped long ago
Our time has stopped and we can't go back


I remember the season we first met, and your gentle smiling face
I recall the first season we met, and the warmth of your smile


Pushing the present back to the past, even if both of us get hurt
Even though it hurts us both, we have to accept where we are now and move on


Our hearts are full of thorns
Our hearts are troubled and full of pain and regret


In this heavy and unchanging relationship, our hearts remain sad
Our emotions are heavy and unable to change, leaving us with only sadness


Even though I love you and I don't want to leave you, I have to say it
Even though I don't want to leave you, I have to express my true feelings


Rain pours down my heart, leaving me stunned and trembling, obscuring my vision
My emotions overwhelm me like a heavy rain, leaving me confused and uncertain


I was prepared for the pain, but my body still bears the scars
I knew there would be pain, but my body still suffers from the wounds


The bond that once connected us, now cracks and breaks, disappearing into our daily lives
The connection that held us together is now shattered and slowly disappearing from our daily lives


Farewell, my beloved, this is the end, don't look back, just walk away
Goodbye, my love. This is where it ends. Don't turn around, just keep walking


If I could make one wish and have it come true, I would be reborn multiple times to meet you again
If I had one wish, I would want to be reborn just to meet you again


The bond that once connected us, now cracks and breaks, disappearing into our daily lives
The connection that held us together is now shattered and slowly disappearing from our daily lives


This is the end
This is it, it's over


Just be friends (Just be friends) It's time to say goodbye
Let's just be friends and put an end to our relationship


Just be friends (Just be friends) All we gotta do
We should just be friends and move on with our lives


Just be friends (Just be frien~ds)It's time to say goodbye
We should just be friends now, and let our relationship go


Just be friends (~)All we gotta do
We just need to be friends and nothing more


Just be friends (~)It's time to say goodbye
It's time to say goodbye, and just be friends


Just be friends
We should just be friends

Just be friends It's time to say goodbye
Just be friends All we gotta do
Just be friends Just be friends Just be friends…

浮かんだんだ 昨日の朝 早くに
割れたグラス かき集めるような
これは一体なんだろう
切った指からしたたる滴
僕らはこんなことしたかったのかな

分かってたよ 心の奥底では
最も辛い 選択がベスト
それを拒む自己愛と
結果自家撞着(じかどうちゃく)の繰り返し
僕はいつになれば言えるのかな

緩やかに朽ちてゆくこの世界で
足掻く僕の唯一の活路
色褪せた君の 微笑み刻んで
栓を抜いた

声を枯らして叫んだ
反響 残響 空しく響く
外された鎖の その先は
なにひとつ残ってやしないけど

ふたりを重ねてた偶然
暗転 断線 儚く千々(ちぢ)に
所詮こんなものさ 呟いた
枯れた頬に伝う誰かの涙

All we gotta do Just be friends
It's time to say goodbye Just be friends
All we gotta do Just be friends
Just be friends Just be friends…

気づいたんだ 昨日の 凪いだ夜に
落ちた花弁 拾い上げたとして
また咲き戻ることはない
そう手の平の上の小さな死
僕らの時間は止まったまま

思い出すよ 初めて会った季節を
君の優しく微笑む顔を
今を過去に押しやって
二人傷つく限り傷ついた
僕らの心は棘だらけだ

重苦しく続くこの関係で
悲しい程 変わらない心
愛してるのに 離れがたいのに
僕が言わなきゃ

心に土砂降りの雨が
呆然(ぼうぜん) 竦然(しょうぜん) 視界も煙る
覚悟してた筈の その痛み
それでも貫かれるこの体

ふたりを繋いでた絆
綻び 解け 日常に消えてく
さよなら愛した人 ここまでだ
もう振り向かないで歩き出すんだ

一度だけ 一度だけ
願いが叶うのならば
何度でも生まれ変わって
あの日の君に逢いに行くよ

声を枯らして叫んだ
反響 残響 空しく響く
外された鎖の その先は
なにひとつ残ってやしないけど

ふたりを繋いでた絆
綻び 解け 日常に消えてく
さよなら愛した人 ここまでだ
もう振り向かないで歩き出すんだ
これでおしまいさ

I remember listening to this song all the time when I was a kid and thinking it was just about a rejection to a confession. I always listened to it and vibed out cause it was such a good song lmao. I cant really think of it like that anymore tho...Anyway I have a long story that relates to this song. Buckle up!

I got Into my first REAL relationship awhile back, it was an online relationship which isn't the best but it was still the realest one for me. We played games together 24/7, texted all day and talked. I even bought more games so we could play together more often. We would do this for weeks and it was the happiest feeling ever when I was with him. We had inside jokes and we'd play with his friends alot. He would always tell me that one day we will meet and he'd hug me and give me tons of kisses. He called me his Queen and I called him my simp lmao. He just said and did alot of sweets things.

All I thought about was him when we dated, I was really in love.

I think I was with him for a couple of months but I remember we started playing less together and wouldn't text all day as we used to. And I was so confused as to why I didn't feel as excited or as happy with him as I used to be. He would still send me a good morning message every morning and good night one which he never failed to do even once, I was always happy when I woke up because of this haha. But I could tell something was different as time passed but I didn't know what.

Since it was my first relationship I was always nervous with my feelings because I didn't want to hurt him since I liked his so much, but he'd always tell me it was okay and not to be nervous since we were in this together. I remember one day I was feeling really nervous and I decided to text him. I remember feeling like our relationship was at a stop and our feelings weren't as strong anymore, but i didn't consciously know that.

I told him that I was scared that I might have mistaken my feelings for him and that I might think of him more as a friend. But I told him I wasn't sure and I didn't know what to do. He told me it was okay and all that and the whole time I was crying and it was a very new but weird feeling for me. After that I told him nvm and sorry, I was just overwhelmed and i was pretty sure I did like him as a boyfriend. Which is true.

I've had really bad anxiety ever since I was a kid and I've been to therapy for it so that might have played a role in it. But I wasn't lying I did sincerely love him. I'm pretty sure he was really hurt but he didn't really say much about it.

I regret telling him very much.

Things went back to normal for like 2 days before he stared acting weird. He'd ignore my messages for hours even a whole day and i had no clue why. I was mad but I didn't really waste my time dwelling on it. This went on for days and we grew more apart but still texted from time to time. From what I remember I think I woke up one day with a long message from him and I knew immediately what it was gonna be.

I won't ever forget the feeling. I read the message and it pretty much said something along the lines of "we should break up, I think of you more as a friend now, I'm so sorry, let's be friends still." There was more but that's unrelated, I distinctly remember having tears fall out of my eyes right away but I like smiled and laughed ? It was such a weird feeling, I cant explain it. I remember tearing up and my heart hurting like it was weighed down. Like I knew it was gonna happen for sure but I didn't expect it to hurt so much. At first I was okay, I felt sad but I wasn't full on crying.

That was Until he started ignoring me in general, he said we'd be friends and he never kept his promise. At this point, I grew depressed and felt like crying whenever. I cried to my mom for the first time ever which Is still embarrassing to think about. I was very sad and I just wanted the feeling to go away. I had this depressed feeling for a few weeks after.

Now this is where this song comes into play. I was still depressed at the time it had only been like 2 days maybe? I remembered the title of the song and got even sadder cause the title was just be friends lmao. Anyways, I remember watching and reading the lyrics of the song and feeling a very different vibe from when I last listened to it. I always thought the song was about rejection but I came to see it was about a dying relationship. The lyrics were like an exact copy of my relationship and I was struck with sadness. I cried cause it was all to familiar.

The reason I'm writing this is because if it weren't for this song, I wouldn't have noticed that my relationship was dying. It was already fading away and its a good thing it ended. From the time we started playing less with eachother and stopped texting not really caring if we had interaction, it was already a doomed relationship. When I texted him, it wasn't because I thought of him as a friend, it was because my feelings were fading but I still loved him dearly, just not as a much. The excitement was gone and we grew a bit angry at eachother for no reason, which was a sign of toxicity. As cliché as it sounds, this song really opened my eyes and helped me get over the breakup sooner since I knew it wasn't me that was the problem. I don't blame him for breaking up with me, I do hate him a bit haha but I don't blame him.

I remember at one point in our relationship when it was dying, I was gonna ask to breakup but right after I started typing I started crying? Like I knew it was for the best but I was still very sad. In the end I obviously didn't, but if I had It probably would have been a very similar situation to the characters in the video.

All in all, I had many happy memories with him and he was a very good first bf to me even if he started ignoring me after haha. I cant really think back to the memories without feeling a mixture of hurt and happiness. Sometimes its okay to let go instead of forcing a relationship to stay, both parties will be more happy in the end.

It will hurt a lot, but its rewarding in the end, trust me.

Thanks for reading my first breakup story 💔

@TheLaylainlila

This song is NOT
I repeat
NOT about the so called "frindzone"
It's about a breakup.

You are in a friendzone when you try to get someone to like you in a romantic way by being a good friend but the person you like tells you that they only see you as a platonic friend and not as potential partner.

These too already were a couple and came to the conclusion that they need to breake up.
But stey still want to stay friends, because they still love each other. But they realize that staying together only hurts them.
That's a difference !


It's actually a really really sad song

:(
