to me this song means alot. my ex is an addict and no matter how hard i tryed to get him off, he would always choose drugs over me. i think what elliott meant writing this song was basically having to accept the fact that theres nothing you can do and your just going to have to leave them, even if its terribly hard. while with my ex i had to constantly remind myself that its ‘not my life’, so when elliott says this it hits hard and i get it, becuase even if it seems like you’re the only person who can do somthing about it, you cant really and its (again) ‘not your life.’ another line that really struck hard was ‘ I see you're leaving me And taking up with the enemy The cold comfort of the in-between A little less than a human being A little less than a happy high A little less than a suicide The only things that you really tried.’ ill never see the person he once was again. it wasnt suicide but it very much aswell be, he killed the person he once was and he’ll never be that person again. hes just a complete different person at this point and i had to say goodbye (farewell but not very fond) to that person he once was. when i eventually realized that he would always choose drugs (the enemy) over me i did finally decide to break up. i felt so terrible about it because i thought he would never get sober, but i did find a bit of comfort in it because i finally relized that he was not my responsibility (we’re both minors struggling with our own mental health) and when i was with him i completely forgot about myself and my own problems and when i did break up i realized how bad i had gotten because i forgot that his life wasnt mine. having to say ‘farewell’ was very hard, and i felt like such a bad person for it, i kept thinking ‘its not what im like.’ im still in contact with him now, as he got sober and is doing better. (also very sorry im very bad at explaining things) |
