Bright Eyes - It's Cool, We Can Still Be Friends 

I have such vivid memories of being 16 and piss drunk on my parent's whiskey, sobbing and screaming this song alone in my bedroom.

Went from "First day of my life" to "It's cool we can still be friends"..... It's for the best

When the hard seltzer starts tasting like this song I know it’s time to go to bed

after 10 years its time to listen to this one again

I mean this in the most positive way possible, but I’d be so happy if I never had to come back to this song ever again.

Listened to this in high school after break ups, now in my 30s while getting divorced. 😔

Oh my goodness.. Listening to this 20 (ish) years later and it still hits the same. So grateful for this band my whole life.

Love this song just hate this feeling. It's so well explained

Long day today. This song came into my head. Came here, Read the Comments, and now don't feel so alone. Haven't spoken to anyone here or anything just knowing im not the only human hurting helps

I feel so young reading these comments, everyone has such vivid memories of this song and im hearing it for the first time...i guess I'll come back in 20 years with memories to share :)

After 8 years, this song still burns just as much

lyrics Yeah, you still kiss me, but it's just on the cheek Yeah, you still kiss me, but it's just on the cheek Yeah, you still kiss me sometimes, but it's just on the cheek You pull away so easily And I still call you, but I get your machine And I still call you, but I get your machine And if I'm lucky I guess, I get your roommate answering But you're at the bar, or at Gene's And we go to dinner, but you won't hold my hand We sit at the same table, but we don't play with our feet Yeah, we still go to dinner sometimes, but we don't sneak a kiss When the waitress turns around And we still watch movies, but we don't share the couch And we still rent movies, but we don't share the couch Yeah, we still watch movies sometimes, but you don't lay in my lap The plot is slow, take a nap And you even stay over, but now we stay in our clothes Yeah, you'll even sleep over, but now we stay in our clothes Yeah, you even sleep over sometimes, but we stay in our clothes I'm only there so that you're not alone And you say that I hurt you, in a voice like a prayer Yeah, you say that I've hurt you, and your voice is like a prayer Yeah, well maybe I hurt you sometimes, but let's contrast and compare Lift up your shirt, the wound isn't there I guess that your truth, is just the ghost of your lies I guess your kind of truth, is just the ghost of your lies Yeah, your kind of truth, darling, is just the ghost of your lies I see through them all the time So I'm pouring some whiskey, I'm gonna get drunk Yeah, I'm pouring myself some whiskey, I'm going to get really fucking drunk I'm pouring some whiskey right now, I'm going to get so, so drunk That I pass out, forget your face, by the time I wake up

This made me go from Bright Eyes to Teary Eyes to Sobbing Eyes

Asked for the saddest songs they could remember on my timeline. One friend sent me here, jeez, we got a winner.

I have been having the most unfortunate luck with love. This song brings me comfort letting me know I am not alone.

The first song I ever heard from Bright Eyes. Got it from my brother. Even though I’ve never been in a relationship, I love everything about this song

This song physically hurts... Still listened to it on repeat for 4 hours straight🤷‍♀️

I Hate how bittersweet heartache can be. Letting things go can be difficult and my perspective can be so stubborn, Why does the feeling of laying in it feels so pure and addicting? Oh to be alive and feeling!

How does this song still make my heart do the butterfly thing? I miss you Ashley, hope you're happy

I will listen to this on repeat until it stops hurting

Renting movies and answering machines; dang this song is old. Still, beautiful.

i want to give everyone in this comment section a hug

Well I never thought the lyrics would apply to my life, but here I am. Cheers.

Yeah this still brings up the feelings. This really made the pain bubble to my chest when i was 17. About 6 years ago go for me

In an effort to find Cassadaga many, many years ago, I accidentally downloaded this track via Limewire. I was so confused, as I was new to this artist and genre, and thought it was this extremely special, raw, real piece of music I'd found. To this day, I believe it to be so. I could never find it again for the longest time, but I always remembered it. Thank you for uploading this, as it keeps existing in this strange sort of limbo of music mind as I remember my youth.

Andddd 3 years later back again. I dont think i feel anything anymore

Brings me back to being 19

This song hits just as hard now as it did the first time I heard it almost 20 years ago 💔

Teenage favorite of mine. Nehalem does a beautiful cover, do recommend.

never heard a song hurt so bad

Why are we all so emo?…that’s right, it’s bright eyes’ fault ❤

Ah shit, here we go again

Awesome she found a date to bring to my family gatherings

Well shit, back here again.

every time this song ends I just gotta stop and sit in silence for awhile

This is literally what is happening to me right now. My boyfriend of over a year just broke up with me and we are remaining friends. I still come over and we watch movies but we still cuddle and hug and it’s so confusing and because he says he only wants to be my friend. I know it isn’t healthy for me but I can’t stop seeing him 💔

This describes everything right now. Will this ever change?

another upload of this got deleted for no reason, thanks bro

This song always hurts the same... Since 2008 when we stopped loving and I stopped living...

I still think of you, even after all this time. I wish to god I didn’t.

I can’t find the comment, but when you’re here again F. I’m here with you.

I just want all the lonely hearts here to get responsibly shit faced one good time, and the next morning wash it off, strap your shoes on and go try again, we all have to keep trying our best

I felt this way about my ex, now she's trying to take our kid away from me and I can't stand the sight of her. Oh how time changes things.

This is what my life would be like with a partner, if I had a love life. Depressing.

Virtual living my best life because by listening to music/ artists' works like this song I get to avoid the firsthand experience irl. Unfortunately irl one sided love of the one I deem most special, he never called me but will like my social media comments to his post just like he does others.

If you came here to listen to this, I’m sorry 🫂

2005... I still remember you Robin....b#$@*

I remember being here when i wasn’t loved.

im going to frow up

I know I'm not the only person who has listened to this one ten times in a row after a bad breakup/divorce

This is why I had a messed up childhood

Checking on the folks in the comments. We okay? Big hugs

I love this song!!! thank you for posting it :)

powerful sir !

It sounds like he's about to cry ;o;

I hate that this describes my marriage. I WANT A DIVORCE

i’m so drunk and sad rn

Miss you Alyssa.

So much better than Rainbow Overpass

This is to you Mitch, the ex that got away and moved in with an invalid girl when you told me you’d never live with a girl. Glad we’re still friends. Yup.

Why cant i find this in spotifyyyyyy

here we go again.

And I still call you, but I get your machine.

The bitter sweet of a toxic relationship when both parties are at fault lol ohhh! ...Connor, who hurt you?

so many times I've been on the conor oberst side of this song. for the first time I'm now on the side of the girl he's singing to, and it still hurts just as bad

Lift up your shirt.

So I'm drinking some trulys! Gonna get real f'n drunk!

yeah, I can't be friends

My girlfriend sent me the song once I never spoke to her again.

does anyone know any songs like this one...??

I'm in love with my best friend, but now i know that feeling will never be shared. It's all I ever wanted. I hope I'm dead tomorrow. I don't know what to do. I love her so much and it hurts.

fking owww

It was all my fault.
