"And I was so young when I behaved 25, yet now I've find I've grown into a tall child." hits so hard when your childhood was cut short and instead of cartoons your faced with problems, mental health issues and failure and now i'm no longer a child yet I cannot hold myself back when I don't get what i want; tantrums and unmature behaviour

@Aiibh

"please don't say you love me"
"My chest feels like it's gonna burst" is such a real emotion that so many people feel but fail to convey.

@TH_KAULITZZ

When Miski says "Please don't say you love me" it hits me on a different level. It means a lot to me because it's how I feel. For the longest time I've also been single and by myself but recently I just go into a relationship with my now bf. I love him so much, he means the whole to me, but sometimes I feel unworthy of his love. He cares so much for me and loves me. No one ever treated me the way he treats me. It feel good but I don't know how to accept it. I don't know why but I feel unworthy of love.

@XaviHaunts

Neither do I, everytime I've gotten in a relationship there's been something that always causes a breakup, weather it'd be someone intervening, the other person being Toxic or something completely different, it has kinda broken me to the point where I don't even wanna try anymore, I wish you the best of luck with your partner, as for me I don't know.

@pkriee

the lines "One word from you and I will jump off of this ledge I'm on, baby. Tell me 'don't' so I can crawl back in." are so painful for me to hear. it feels like someone who doesnt want to commit, yet they think they have no other choice (or all they wanted was love and reassurance). it's such a complex feeling for me and i relate to it so much

@countessmunti6212

I saw this comment just as she was singing that line

@GibzzAbejo

same, ​@@countessmunti6212

@min_wolf976

Personally I take the line as a metaphor for obsession.

She doesn't want to love the person, but she knows if the person loves her back then she'd be unable to stop herself from falling into the relationship.

the ledge is the ledge between sanity and obsession. with 'one word' from him, she'd jump off the ledge into obsession, but he if doesn't say he loves her then she can go back to her normal life.

"Please hurry, leave me," feels the opposite of how people say it feels to them for me. My ex was really toxic but I was in love with him, and I knew i needed to leave but didn't want to, so I was literally begging with him to leave me by the end subtly

I used to listen to this song for the first part only. like I would literally clip it and I never listen to the rest of the song. I kinda got bored of it.
now I’m writing a book and this is song perfectly describes the situation of it. tearing up.

@hopetrick750

This song has been really hitting for me recently. I have been dating a person for three years but realized that all of my feelings for them are gone. All of my life I just wanted to skip to being an adult so I could fall in love with someone and get married, but I feel like I forced myself to love anyone who even grew a little close to me. So when my best friend at the time asked me out I didn't want to lose them and I wanted to be loved that I said yes. Now I avoid them as much as I can because seeing them makes me feel sick. I feel like I have been lying to them because I can't remember the last ime I was genuine with them. Anytime that they send "I love you" I feel like a dagger goes into my heart and that I need to reply so they don't get hurt either.

Sorry that this is poorly explained, I just want to express how good this song is and that I have been relating to it.

@lordtt3984

I think you should sit with them and explain how you feel the way you did here. It'll be better for both of you in the long run

@yas6520

i'm going through something very similar right now. i really do love them, just not the same way they love me.

@phillipusaudox9156

I have been on the other side. Just tell them. I can assure you they know already. It’s better to end things now then lead them on..

@hopetrick750

I have been meaning to make an update:
Wow, six months since I wrote this. About a month or so after I wrote this I talked to them about it. It didn't go so well. They knew that I was avoiding them and seemed receptive to my emotions, but then they did not exactly listen to me saying that I only wanted to be friends. I wanted the exchange to be over fairly quickly, but they would not leave and insisted on continuing to refer to me as their partner even though I told them I wasn't comfortable with it. And then as they were leaving they said that they didn't consider this a breakup, just a set back.
Like I said that was a few months ago. Though they seem less insistent on the romantic side, they still expect us to do everything that we would do when we were dating (like hanging out every week and saying that we love each other).

Overall, I don't feel as guilty as I did when I originally wrote this, but it still needs to be worked out. Thanks for the advice anyway <3

@ammarbilal9996

First Love/ Late Spring is an ode to the battle between the heart and the mind – the former wishing to fall in love while the latter showing disinclination. The mind's refusal may be rooted in the fear for love due to earlier traumas. Haunted by the ghosts of the past, the speaker of the song, paradoxically, remains both ready and reluctant for love!
