Sang this at prom night after the official release, only had 1 night to memorize, managed to memorize it and it was all worth it.

To whom it may concern, stop breaking laufey's heart coz she conveys it beautifully that it makes us cry 😭

It’s so cool how Laufey included the chords in the lyric video!

IT HURTS TO BE SOMETHING IT'S WORSE TO BE NOTHING WITH YOU 🗣🔥

I love how deeply the instruments in the music connect to the lyrics. Every tone sounds purposeful. Laufey you are a genius.

“i called you last night, i shouldn’t have, i wouldn’t have, if it werent for the sight of a boy who looked just like you.” one of the most relatable lyrics ive heard in my life

“I’ve done the math, there’s no solution. we’ll never last” REAL OMG.

Your chord progressions are always incredibly beautiful. They make me feel like I took a time machine back to a 100 years ago.

Listening to this song because dying isn’t an option 🫰

My partner broke up with me. Laufey captures those feelings perfectly. All I can hope is that he grows without me. I packed a couple of books he let me borrow with a letter. All I can hope is that he can be more clear with the next person he loves; that he doesn't sugarcoat his true feelings, instead of using excuses and trying to let me down softly. Once someone falls out of love and they choose not to try, it's out of your hands. I wish this nostalgic heart of mine would stop holding onto the best memories. Maybe one day, I can see him as a friend, rekindle our relationship as new people and only as friends, just as he wanted. But for now? I'll wait. Wait until this nostalgic heart of mine stops smiling at the thought of his laughter, his gifts I had to get out of my sight, and heal with time.

Idk if it's weird, but instead of a break up I connect this song to a dream job I'll never have that I promised my 13 year old self that I'll one day achieve. The part where it says "No matter how long I resist temptation, I will always lose" hits me so hard that I'm striving for a career I don't even want just so I can get my mother's support. Knowing if I achieve this "career" I've deemed a broken promise and a heartbreak from my 13 year old self. In her eyes, her and I have lost.

"it hurts to be something... it's worse to be nothing with you" that part punched me tight in the heart... its just so relatable.

Her musical originality will take her to stardom as she continues to mature. How beautiful she is .

This song perfectly sums up a situation I'm struggling with right now, I can't manage to break connection and move on. And my friend told me last year that the universe sends you songs when you most need it and wow. This speaks to me. I've had way too many signs and I want to ignore them. It's so hard to get over it and move on. So I will listen to this, and remind myself. I am so much more “it hurts to be something, it's worse to be nothing with you”

Sobbing to this song bc kms isnt an option

When I tell you I sobbed in my room yesterday for 2 hours while listening to laufey, I was IN SHAMBLES. My life honestly feels like a mistake, stuck behind everyone while they figure out what they want to be. I can hear everyone talking about their future but when I'm asked about it I can't even muster up an answer. I feel pathetic and useless, even if I get good grades how do I get a job? Buy a house? Go to college? Do taxes? I've got 5 years to finish my entire life for the next 50 years or more. And I don't know what to do.

The Banana Fish fandom can never catch a break.

Everytime i'm feeling down, due to some family issues, i always hear laufey's songs, and cry all tears there is to cry. I know laufey will never see this, but every single one of your musics stay by my side on such dificult times. Thanks laufey, thanks for existing and showing the world some love and confort❤

laufey is fairy godmother

“Omg Laufey made a new song! Let me check it out rq” …. Sobbing

If heartache were a song.

This boy, honestly. I've been on and off liking him and its just SO hard to let go, i finally properly told my friends and whilst they encourage me to confess, i really just don't believe he likes me back. The next time i see him it will have been 16 days since i last saw him. And how i do miss him. It hurts, honestly, to like someone this much and be so unsure if its really reciprocated. My friends say they see signs but i can't see what they see. Especially since im autistic, its hard for me to express how i feel. Your songs have been so relatable to me for the past few weeks. It was from the start and now ive found this its another song added to the list. Thank you Laufey, for helping me cope with this, even if its not much writing this, i hope you are and stay happy.

"It hurts to be something, It's worse to ve nothing with you" Bro this is so real

Her music remind me of “love like you from Steven universe”

I made a promise To distance myself Took a flight, through aurora skies Honestly, I didn't think about How we didn't say goodbye Just see you very soon It hurts to be something It's worse to be nothing with you, mmm So I didn't call you For sixteen long days And I should get a cigarette For so much restraint No matter how long I resist temptation I will always lose It hurts to be something It's worse to be nothing with you I've done the math There's no solution We'll never last Why can't I let go of this? So I broke my promise I called you last night I shouldn't have, I wouldn't have If it weren't for the sight of a boy Who looked just like you Standing out on Melrose Avenue It hurts to be something It's worse to be nothing with you, mmm It hurts to be something It's worse to be nothing with you

The song for me really hits so close to home. “It hurts to be something..it’s worse to be nothing with you” I was with someone for almost four years .. but I had known them for much longer. They were my best friend. But there was so much problems .. our love for each other was absolutely beautiful though. For years I felt like something was wrong with me I never understood it. He would get angry with me and ask me why I am how I am…. And I couldn’t ever answer that. Well it wasn’t until recently until we ended it officially that I couldn’t bare how I was anymore and it just turns out that I was misdiagnosed when I was younger with ADD when actually im on the autism spectrum. So it just hurts knowing that no matter what I was the issue in the end and we wouldn’t of ever lasted. I wish the term “it’s hard love a person with autism.” wasn’t a true thing.

Ugly crying to this song. Been in a relationship for more than 6 years, and all should be going well despite him having CKD. Transplant was already expected by end of 2023. He proposed last Aug unfortunately, a week later, he did not make it. Laufey's beautiful songs remind me of our days filled with love and at the same time it makes me so sad.

i’ve loved the same boy for over a year and, even though we never got together, he seemed interested in me, but at one point he told me i had to move on because he didn’t feel anything for me. This song makes me cry because that's exactly how i feel, I can't let him go, i am deeply in love with him.

The vocals, the visuals, the instrumental, the lyrics the concept is a MASTERPIECE

this physically pains me for some reason

I don’t know what to do. I have so many regrets. Everyone is constantly pushing things on me about my future. An athlete. An author. An architect. How can I grow to become them all if I don’t even know what I want? Sure, I like to measure out floor plans. I enjoy playing my sports. I adore imitating Shakespeare and writing deep stories, but it all feels so forced when my family tries to make it more than just my simplistic joy. I miss my old friends, and even though I hate them with every fiber of my being, I love them too much and want only the best for them. I loved her so much yet I despise her long face and pointy nose which had before defined beauty. She was my best friend and our antics were the only highlights of my stressful morns. This song speaks to me. Maybe someday I’ll stop thinking too much and I’ll just think normally. Perhaps life is meant to be lived when you stop caring. I doubt that future is for me.

Laufey has yet again stunned us with her musicality and perfect lyricism. I want her to be famous but at the same time, I want her to just be this exclusive shining gem for all of us. 😭

Why do I find a laufey song that exactly represents how I'm feeling literally everytime I'm going through something 😭

Her music not only is great and relatable it inspires me to keep learning and playing music

Love playing this song on loop because then it's a loop of making a promise and continuing to break it every single time it replays

The way the song conveys the exact way I feel (and how so many others feel) just so perfectly. Going through a break up right now and these lyrics just hit each chord of my heartstrings. I sobbed to this, and I miss him so much. If you’re going through heartbreak as well, and these lyrics speak to you, I promise you will be okay and there is light at the end of the tunnel. Embrace the pain and all the love that comes with it, cause eventually time will pass, and you’ll back at how far you’ve come. You are doing amazing and you’re meant to read this comment as well. I believe in you.

Literally shaking.

Another song to be playing out loud. Thank you! ❤

Lau Fey.... eyang uti (rafi's grandma)from Bekasi Indonesia verry2 surprise to hear you voice today,uti smp nangis n nonton terus videomu g bosan2 di TV,bkn di hp.uti kirim bbrp teman n sdr yg byk blm tahu pdhal kamu hebat nak,eyang uti ikut bangga apalagi omamu pastinya.sayang uti baru tahu ternyata kamu sdh konsert dijkt.Good luck n good job cantik.maaf bhsnya uti campur2 maklum sdh sweet 70.tks

Currently going threw like a best friend break up. i cant even begin to explain how much this just hits me, it all is like what im going threw and honestly i really love the song but i hate how ive like officially connect the break up situation with this song because now i cant listen to this without crying. and if im in public i have to skip this masterpiece

This song kind of lit my fire for writing music again, so uncalled of, did not expect it at all the very instant I clicked this video. I have been thinking about if for awhile but this beautiful song must have persuaded my heart completely.

This song makes me cry every time. It reminds me of my first love and even though im completely over her, this song always finds a way to remind me of my heartbreak. its so beautiful but so sad

“Are you Gojo Satoru because your the strongest? Or are you the strongest because you’re Gojo Satoru?”

the amount of chills i get while listening to this is just unreal. i didnt talk to her for 5 long weeks. i messaged her last night and we broke up. i was struggling so much with my mental health while we were together, but now i feel like its worsening.

I love how the chord progressions are each and every one just conveys to each word so beautifully

Laufeys songs always sounds like they’ve fallen from heaven😭

this song makes me happy sad 🙂🥲

Its like she took every heartbreak I had to experience over and over again and turned it into a song. Fifteen years of right person, wrong time, trying everything I could to make it work, just to end in goodbyes that never happened and sleepless nights laying in bed thinking about what could have been. I'm so scared I'll never love anyone as much as I loved him. 😢 Sorry for the sad pity party. This song hurts in the best way, it's just so beautiful.

the first time i listened to this, i never thought i'd actually relate to the lyrics in the future.

*cries while looking at the hanged photo of me and my ex bsf at 4 am *

She doesn't know, but she is my source of motivation to progress

It gives Mitski vibes

This song makes me cry, because it reminds me of 20th century girl(I just finished watching it last week)

IM NOT EVEN GOING THROUGH A BREAKUP IDK WHY IM CRYING 😭😭

Listening to this knowing that I can’t tell her I love her because there is only a few days left of school before summer break.

"It hurts to be something, it's worst to be nothing " This is another level of pain fr🫠❤️

lyric videos never seem to disappoint

I cut contact with my dad last month, if any single sentence sums it up its "it hurts to be something, its worse to be nothing with you" Sometimes its not worth it if you have to give all of who you are up for it to stay

Laufey, you're hurting me real time eventhough my real-life experience can't relate to the lyrics. This just shows how great as a musician you are ♡

You have a way to bring emotion into music I have never heard before! I love your music, keep up the amazing songs🩷🩷

this song fits perfectly in my situation, i knew this girl for some time and i liked her so much but no matter what i just felt like she was too good for me and i decided to leave slowly, it was for the best but no matter what i just end up in in the same situation again where am trying to leave and not text at all and then i yet again just stopped texting her and then BOOM i called her by mistake and just started this loop again , it did hurts to be something and it was definitely worse to be nothing without her although i promised myself like last week i wouldn't talk to her then here i am

Her voice and emotion are incredible and superb 🤍💚💍

I just found this song and it captures my feelings. I recently found out my crush likes me back, and I confessed to him. A few days later, his friend sent me a message of him saying he’s losing feelings. it hurts a lot. I don’t wanna fall Inlove anymore.

Laufey, you really don't know how much I needed this song to understand that the little I had with him was over and that despite everything I never had anything with him I understood how much I miss him but now everyone has their life.

Hearing this is so healing, even tho it's towards a romantic relationship works for family too❤

Is it just me or does this song remind me of Magnolia (her other song) and it makes me wonder what it would sound like if you mix them together, they honestly fit well together in my opinion and very heart wrenching

i absolutely love the 'mmm' part. she's so talented i love her singing !!

Laufey is doing God's work, SHE EVEN PUT THE CHORDS IN THE LYRIC VIDD 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I'm saying it SatoSugu

Today, I just got out of a situation-ship. We loved each other dearly, but it couldn't work out. My parents strictly prohibit me from being in any romantic relationship. The religion I also am in also prohibits me from being with anyone romantically that isn't the same religion I am. I love him so much, but no matter what, I can't have him and it just really hurts. I really relate with the lyric "I've done the math, but there's no solution, we'll never last." Because It perfectly encaptures that helpless feeling. Laufey is honestly such an amazing artist and her music never fails to comfort me. I hope that whoever reads this has a wonderul day, thanks for reading 🩷

Once i found Laufey`s songs,i surely started enjoying myself,as i finally could sing along to an artists creations (songs).Though i listened to music 24/7 in my entire life,the thought of singing along to the songs i listened to most of the time was just distant to me,i felt like i just can`t sing with all my heart.But i found Laufey! This might sound stupid of me,but i surely found my go to artist! Which is Laufey

More artists should add the chords to lyric videos! This is a great song and idea, Laufey. I love your music 🫶🫶

This always reminds me of my past relationship. We were literally the happiest when we were together, even though we're both girls yet somehow she found it wrong for us especially for her religion. Eventually right after our anniversary we broke up while having our last date watching the world cup together. She said it was for the better, the better of us. I couldn't focus on my finals, it was painful to see that she's the only one who can benefit from it and can unlove me at that very moment and forget that our relationship existed.while on the other side I couldn't even bring myself not talking to her for a whole day. Then I made a promise to her that I won't ever text her or call her, since it's hurts to be just known to be her best friend and forget that our relationship ever existed(and respect her decision and her religion), but some weeks ago before new years I texted her I broke that promise I couldn't resist the temptation of being with her. I took the risk just loving her as a friend even now. It hurts to be something with her since we can't be and we can never be together yet, it's worse to be nothing with her.

My life lately... My heart lately.. 💔

YES LAUFEY

I’ve been trying to figure out the chords and it’s cool to see how Laufey writes them out. It’s such a more complex song then it sounds - hope she publishes the sheet music wondering what the time signature really is.

Absolutely love the inclusion of chords in the video...now I can directly play it on piano and won't have to search for some yt tutorial to spell it out! 🧡

this song has been my comfort since I broke up with my partner of almost 3 years. I am aware that I ruined things between the two of us, hiding problems, what made me uncomfortable, my insecurities, my fears. He wasn't a bad boy, he had his own problems, and he was barely out of them, I didn't want to burden him any more with the weight of the mourning he was going through. At a point where he thought about me being cheating on him as a partner with someone, I couldn't take it anymore and I opened up. And I broke up with him. I still feel bad that I still keep in contact with him. It hurts to know that eventually he will find someone who will love him and try harder than I wanted and should have; and he will do the same. And I will no longer be in his life and he will stop being in my life and we'll just be another chapter in each other's lives. And yet. even if I love someone today, his memory, his voice, everything about him, I will still love him. Sorry for the text, I just needed to vent a bit.

Cry for the first time cuz of this song

I recently found Laufey's music and I love the vibe. I have so many songs I can cry to now, so that's exciting! 😂

I just can't help praising Him for your voice. While almost everyone is into bop music, K-pop and the like, here you are, though young, trying to bring back and introduce jazz to the new generation. I have encountered the word jazz before but haven't heard what jazz music sounds like. Im one of your fans from the Philippines. Glad also to see the video about your concert in Alabang.

She NEEDS to collab with Aurora!!!! OMG could you just imagine 😭😭😭🫶🏻🫶🏻🥲

This song sounds like it would play in the low point of an older Disney movie

how in feeling like rn :

How i wish i could see her concert in Sept

this song sums up my last relationship, we had gotten together 3 times and broke up 3 times and no matter how much i love him we will never truly last

Love him. Hate him. He's playing me. But he says he loves me. I dont know what to believe. I broke my promise. I loved you when i told myself i shouldn't.

I like a guy at my class and we were so close until he started realizing that im growing feelings at him. So i tried to distance myself from him for so many months, we both have different group of friends now and never spoke to each other again, and actually i was starting to lose feelings at him, but i cant help it missing my special moments with him. He chatted me last night and i dare myself not to reply but i can't, hes just wonderful he makes me laugh and happy everytime we have late night talks. I started to catch feelings for him again, cant literally move on HAHAHAHHAHHAHAH

still cant believe laufey invented music shes insane for that

my favorite song forever and ever

i love how thoughtful she is putting the chords

Hey, this is a sign to not call them or write them back. I was in your same situation, a year ago, and I still think about them somehow. This lyrics hit me very much, because I saw myself in it. And if you also do, it’s better to not call them back. I know how much those “16 days” burn and make you cry, but you have to be brave and keep that promise. They made you feel bad, they made you feel sad, they made you feel stupid. Everything is going to be alright, I promise that you’ll be good. In a year I thought of the worst ways to call them, to write a text to them, but I never did. I even removed their number and blocked them, to take away the temptation. We didn’t even say goodbye to each other, just “I don’t feel good, I’m sorry” “It’s ok, just promise me this isn’t a way to escape” “I promise”, so you can guess how much hearing this song hurts. In the end, don’t break your promise. I’m near you, if you need support. You’ll be fine ❤️

Singing this for my audition at a school on Saturday, her voice is so beautiful and its perfect to sing to.

IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE SIGHT OF A BOY WHO LOOKED JUST LIKE YOUUU🎙😩

this is the most heartbreaking song ever. i never felt so attack by lyrics but here i am. the journey on healing to something that you really want and wish to happen but couldn’t. i currently with a young man who i met online apparently but the catch is that we clicked so fast as we know each other for so long. a soulmate that is what i want to call him. my soulmate. we love each other so much. its only been 3 months and we had a great time together. but the one thing that is very sad is that we are in a different religion. he be talking about marrying me and how he really sure that im the one for him. i love my religion, he love his and nobody is ready to sacrifice religion for love. :) its so hard. i could have just leave mine but i love my religion as it connects me with my family. i love my family. it’s complicated. next week he will go travel for a month. so we decided to stop talking for a month. idk i should move on instantly or should i wait till he come back :( idk i really dont know i swear. idk which sign should i take. leaving a man who is literally a good man to me and a real husband material is hard. because hes so good idk. im confused what to do. i hate it so much feeling stuck.

i love this song and im SHOCKED by the fact that she only has 500k subs like shes blown up on tik tok and stuff but only 500k on yt she deserves atleast 10m even that might be a little low like this is perfect my ears are at peace now thank you so much. This song is too damn good i cant stress it enough!! I Feel like i need to give you something in return for making this song...its perfection in a sound, and a sound is already the best form of lauguage..Ur voice is so good and well trained that im getting into vocals and i love it. ive always loved music and singing on my own but now i do lessons on guitar, piano, and singing! this comments already really long but its not enough, Live Laugh Laufey!!

its the way i genuinely relate to every single lyric, thank you so much laufey for this song. its crazy how were all strangers, millions of us.. yet music brings us together so beautifully, we connect.

bij i might get over you, but there is a part of you i'll always keep. take care always ☁︎

It’s unhealthy the amount of times I’ve listened to this song

I was chitchatting with my partner and we are playing loud music from tiktok and suddenly this song played and we stopped talking and found out this song was on KZfaq ads, i did not skipped it because it captured my heart and soul and suddenly i began to looked this song to your channel I love it and its perfect
