Lyrics:
I have haunted many photographs
In the background, and the fore
And as many loves that have crossed my path
In the end, it was friends
In the end, it was friends
In the end, it was friends
It was friends who broke my heart
Well fair do’s
Nobody prepares you and nobody’s prepared
Nobody’s prepared
And they tell you, “Just you wait it kills you”
And only love can break you
More the more you care
And all and all in love is fair
But it’s not fair
I have haunted many photographs
In the background, in the fore
And as many loves that have crossed my path
In the end it was friends
In the end it was friends
In the end it was friends
It was friends who broke my heart
And I’ve pushed myself to be vulnerable
And then slept with one eye wide
All that pain and nothing gained in the end
In the end it was friends
In the end it was friends
In the end it was friends
In the end it was friends
In the end it was friends
In the end it was friends
In the end it was friends
It was friends who broke my heart

"all that pain...nothing gained in the end"👍🏾
I can soooo relate to that verse.
“James” stop blowing your huge ego up and stop chasing little girls, pretending you intend to make them famous
Literally my favorite song from the album. The most relatable thing I’ve heard. It’s hauntingly beautiful ❤️
And I've pushed myself to be vulnerable And then slept with one eye wide Holy shit is that relatable af
A wonderful stranger who not only understands but sets your pain to music.
The timbre of his voice is like fine tuned strings!! 😍🎶🥰
I was going to delete instagram and then remembered that concert you did over IG Live in Quarantine. Thank you, you've gotten me through so much.
Delete it! You'll see it on KZhead anyway, life without that crap is far better.
Same ♥️ this music is pure medicine
Lol he's one of the few people I follow there. I want to delete it too. He uploads almost everything to his channel.
I deleted mine almost two years ago, and it doesn't even feel like one Year. So just do it!
delete it, it´s definitely for the better. Check the music on yt later tho!
It's like James reached into my mind and wrote out what I am going through. Thank you for showing me that I'm not alone.
We need a live piano only album from your best songs Jamesss, pleaseee
This song is the sleeper hit of the album I think. Beautiful.
Piano + James Blake = perfection
The voice though... James Blake is a professional singer, period..
Surprised that anyone would dislike this song. This is one of James Blake's finest. Thank you James.
As if the album version didn’t make me cry hard enough.
I was just blaring “If I’m Insecure” loving the album Ty big guy
One of my favs off the album.
He aint lying.. beautiful song
I just realized the other day that I’ve grown up listening to you and sometimes I get nostalgic about old songs, but this new album just hits differently. Thank you for pouring your heart out 🖤
James, I wish you nothing but pure friendships , since the first record i heard. ♥️ You transcend authentic emotions, with so much musical talent - thank you for that.
his low notes give me chills
You can hear every inflection and that makes it better. The more you can distinguish makes it even better. Beautiful.
“James” stop blowing your huge ego up and stop chasing little girls, pretending you intend to make them famous
My favorite track on this album
I worship you since my adolescence.I matured listening to you, and your songs accompany me until my adult life and 'til my last day Iive on this planet. You're purely art, thank you.
Sad and beautiful. Best singer song writer ever.
This dude just understands me without speaking, when the album version was released I was so disappointed that It wasn't like the live version he played, but then he blesses us with this. KING
feels Like this song has been here for a while, just waited for its time
I haven't made a full minute in and i'm tearing up, my god. 😫
Though I'm happy, even relieved, that you've found love and happiness, it's a treat that you can still sound sad and melancholy (L)
Often, whether you carry the weight on your shoulders or behind you, it's still with you.
“James” stop blowing your huge ego up and stop chasing little girls, pretending you intend to make them famous
hauntingly beautiful
You can tell he sings from his heart and soul. Such an amazing artist
Thank you for this king, thank you for always being there.
“James” stop blowing your huge ego up and stop chasing little girls, pretending you intend to make them famous
first Mitski with the existential crisis and now James Blake with friends who dump you, these weeks have been 100% relatable aaaaaa ;_;
This album is so beautiful
How do you put me in a trance like this dude. Oh man oh man oh man oh man
I love this wonderful, heartbreaking song, I adore this genius artist..
Idk what happened but I feel sometimes you doesn't want to be labeled as sad boy, just dont put yourself in any label. Its just powerful when you speaks your truth even if you didnt like what you're feeling. The magic of life is to change, I know you'll ever back to some dark places, but it doesnt mean your works will ever be super happy or super animated as Assume Form. Even because Overgrown and The Colour of Anything are masterpieces and have some moments of sadness. Just dont limit yourself in any emotional place, cause are these emotional side of you that makes you a great artist and human, not perfect we know, but a great soul to share with us anything you could transform in art.
👍You put it perfectly 🎵
honestly this is my favourite song from the new album, I listen to it and I start crying without feeling any sadness. as you can see I am very melodramatic person so please trust me and listen to this song until the end, because this song is just beyond beautiful.
Might be favourite ever James Blake song, beautiful
This and everything else James makes just hits me right in the soul man... beautiful.
Qui hai un amico che non ti spezzera' mai il cuore e non lo sai. Grazie per tutto ciò che fai.
