Cover art for 1000 Julys lyrics by Third Eye Blind

When you left for good, I felt the drop like a boom Wintertime all alone in your bedroom I don't blame you, and I know I'm not your friend How we living, young American I guess I've always known I'd be on my own, I'd be on my own...that has to be the best lyric in the song. This song makes me cry. It's so beautiful. I love it. So sad. It's like he's accepting all the things that he did wrong in a past relationship. He's finally coming to terms with what went wrong and his character flaws, the things he did that he can't deny now, he didn't know he was doing them at the time, he didn't know how it was affecting her. Anyways, that's exactly what I'm going through right now. Self-realization is a biotch. That's what you are I'd tell you to come back now, but we've gone to far And we've burned it out now I don't even try But I feel you gone I've lost a thousand Julys...that's how it ends.
