This song is for those longing to find love, for those who have never experienced relationships, those who fill the void by reading romance books and watching movies and series just to feel something. Hopefully one day we'll experience love instead of daydreaming about it.

This song makes me feel like I'm reaching for something I can't obtain.

This song feels like having a crush, and feeling all romantic, then remembering that they will probably never love you because no one ever does and fearing how long it might take to get your movie scene.

The first time I heard this song I immediately teared up, it felt like my heart felt lonely and lost, wondering why I did...I looked up the lyrics of it, and now it just makes sense and it hits hard when she sings "and you don't exist". I always had this guy in my dreams ever since I was a little girl, it is as if I am living a life in my dream world with this guy that grew up along as I grew up, we have spent lots of memories together and I love him so much, it's been 3-4 years now that I haven't seen him (I can't recall how long now) I just want to keep sleeping, hoping I'd dream of him again and spend time with him. It is unsure that he exists but I feel that somewhere somehow he does, I'll forever long to belong with him. He'll always be a piece of me that I hold dearly. He'll always have my heart and I hope someday we'll find each other. No one will ever replace him...

"but you don't exist" Me crushing on movie characters be like 😭😭😭

This is about that pure love that you feel only once in your entire lifetime

This song is literally the feeling of loving someone you can no longer have but you can never unlove them and they will always be the start of your movie

Finally a good song on the radio. Brings me back to high school Colbie Caillat times.

Yes the song is for those longing to find love and maybe those who have never been in real relationships but it's also here for those have been in fake relationships.. for those that have given their all to someone just for them to turn around and spit in your face and act like you are nothing all along.. whoever you are, I hope you heal one day and find someone that treats you the way you deserve.. I hope for myself as well

I can’t stop listening to this

This song perfectly describes me. And so I've been crying for the past 15 or so minutes while listening to this in repeat.

The lyrics is amazing but the melody and instruments really caught me off guard. I felt like I was melting. So so good

I know everyone has their own take on this song like being written for people who long for this feeling but it resonates with me in a way of loving someone you used to know but grew apart from. When you have to grieve the person you fell in love with in the beginning but they changed. Loving the person they pretended to be…

Shout out to all my homies that are in love with fictional characters 😭

I love this, it makes me feel all soft and I know it sounds weird, but this is the perfect song for my current season as a happy single person who knows when it happens, I will love being in love with someone again someday. All these bittersweet songs hold a special place in my heart and this is a new favorite for me. Thank you so much!

this is the first song i’ve ever listened to that made the back of my head tingle and my goosebumps pop, this song is so good

An extremely beautiful and yet melancholic song...

Loving a fictional character

Music truly is for translation. This song makes me think about how beautiful the beginning of a relationship feels until it later progresses then you later realized you just made somone out to be better than they really ever were.

I started sobbing, the "you don't exist" reminded me of all the book and video game characters I fell in love with but can never be with 💔

Loving a fictional character is painful and that line "that you don't exist I don't recall the last time I was kissed ".

Yknow what's the saddest part is? That i (we) relate to this song

as a selfshipper this song actually makes me feel so sad and i relate so much. i've felt genuine romantic love only once and it's toward someone who will never be there to return it because he isn't even real. i've dedicated my life to someone who can never love me.

This song showed me that it's okay to fantasize about love and a happy ending, but eventually we all need to wake up. It hurts, but it is also very sweet. I love this song so much.

This song makes me happy and sad at the same time😂😭

i’m absolutely in love with this song. it is so bittersweet and fragile. and it definitely has the power to break my heart longing for this. but God has a plan for every one of us. and if it is His Will for us to find that special someone one day, we will, we just have to wait for and trust in His timing. but if it is not, we’ll be more than okay. He will take care of us. He will prepare us for that life, and we have to pray for contentment in being single. it may hurt, but God has His reasons, and they are good. He never withholds one good thing. if He withholds this, it’s because He is protecting us from something, or has something so much better in store. whether you’re waiting for love or not, try to appreciate all the blessings God has put in your life. it is not wrong to daydream about love. but don’t let it overtake your life, to where you’re at the point of depression or you miss all the other beautiful people and blessings around you. i love you, and am holding your hand through whatever you’re going through. but most importantly, Jesus loves you, and HE IS FOR YOU.

The first time i heard this song and define the lyrics i cried because it is about relationship that you just imagine and it is not real. But hopefully Lizzy will create this kind of song vibe again i will hear it over and over again.

I love hearing her sing over the phone when we’re both not talking at the moment and this song reminds me of her so much. She’s the sun that rises and makes the flowers bloom.

For me, that beautiful feeling of love is absolution perfection... and are both unattainable.

To my fictional man.. I love you..

Played this song for my friend at his grave he passed in 2020 we were friends for 7 years we had a child together few months before he passed .. after all this time I still feel the same .. couldn’t stop crying hearing this and I hope he liked this song I played for him … connection was out of this world see u next lifetime babe

Here I am: a 43-y.o. grown man in a happy relationship, crying every time at the plot twist of this song, just because I remember the feeling (and can't exclude the possibility of reliving it). Life and love can be crazy. Don't ever give up on your dreams, don't change who you are to become supposedly worthy of someone else's love, and never lose faith in finding happiness. The person you dream about may not be real, but someone just as good may be there for you. Just make sure you find happiness on your own first, so your significant other is an addition to it, not a prerequisite.

I heard this in the car several times while trying not to cry, I love this song so much and I can't explain it It's like trying to achieve a dream you know you'll never be able to yet you still try

I never would have expected to find this song on TikTok of all places… I never knew I could relate to such a popular song… and just reading these comments, it makes me feel so less alone ❤

Brilliant beautiful song. Absolute masterpiece

I deeply miss someone, I miss the touch, the voice, the kisses, and good mornings....but no one is here, I never have anyone to miss. Am I just missing the soulmate I haven't found or am I just lonely?

Yesterday I saw a guy I used to have a HUGE crush on who I haven't seen in months, and I felt absolutely nothing. And then I went to hang out with my current crush. And this song just kind of feels like how that felt. Feeling nothing for someone I used to be nearly in love with and then feeling so much for someone I only saw as a friend back then.

I’m best friends with this girl and we hangout often, just today we were sitting in her car in a Taco Bell parking lot, we were listening to random ass stations on the radio and we stopped at one playing this song, it was the first time I had heard this song. I sat there and it was as if everything connected, she was on her phone talking about her friend, I was too busy staring at her to pay attention, I like her, I was on edge about it before but I know for sure now, I can’t stop listening to this song and remembering every detail of that moment, her hair, her eyes, her jawline, everything, I want her so badly. But I know it won’t work out. I know she won’t feel the same. But it’s fine, I’ll watch from afar as she falls in love with someone else, and I won’t regret it one bit knowing she’s happy

I'm addicted to this song. This lyrics, music just telling me and feels me it's me.. who you are talking to..

Edits always have the best songs.

And off I go to add this to my hopeless romantic playlist so I can daydream about some guy who will sweep me off my feet who I can fulfill my cliche movie moments with so when I’m in the car driving or staring out a window or something it feels like I’m actually there only to be brought back and realize I’m just fooling myself

God this song hits so hard. It reminds me of my personal experiences. When it rains and I look out into the distance longing for someone to take me away. When I fall asleep at night and dream of love and genuinely feels so real only to wake up and realize it's not, for it to seem like I can't feel that in real life. When I think about it and tell myself not to be si caught up over a dream because it seems almost ridiculous and no one would understand. But I see now people do understand. I used to think that even if other people did share my struggles it wouldn't matter because it wouldn't solve my problems snd it doesn't but it makes my emotions feel more valid so it definitely does matter. I'm glad that modern day we can just look up songs on KZfaq and relate to them to make us feel better about ourselves or to read the comments and see people go through almost the exact same thing.

Fictional husbandos be like

Best plot twist I've heard in a song

"But it's not real and you don't exist" damn it really hit me hard, as being obsessed with fictional character I really feel it.. 💔

this is givin fictional characters in my dreams😂😂.

my heart has created its own meaning of this song and its helping me a lot rn... context i dropped my partner off at the airport last night because we are long distance and watching him walk away was the hardest thing ive ever done

THANKS FOR MAKING THIS FOR MEEE

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS FOR MEE

I remember I was kissed in my dreams several times, I remember them all but I wish I could recall how it felt

This hits different when you’ve never been loved

For me I feel like this song is about being in love with a fictional character, or somebody in a tv show or movie, I have a huge crush on both Draco from Harry Potter and Dan Gheesling from Big Brother S10, I sometimes pretend I am with them or we’re doing cute things together, but in reality I’m just alone, and they don’t exist, neither do my comfort characters, and I am left in a world where I may never truly experience how it feels to have that kind of love that I want more than anything.😢

reminds me of my first real time i fell in love. we never started dating, but talked for a couple months, then he randomly stopped talking to me. broke my heart, plus seeing him everyday at school breaks me even more everyday. i feel like something could of came, but i guess i’ll never know. i miss you❤

I love it sm

This song actually makes me cry, I’ve never experienced being loved or being in a relationship. Any time I have a crush it’s amazing I feel good when I think of them, but it only hurts in the end when I realize they don’t and never will like me. I always feel so lonely and lost inside, like I’m just an empty void waiting for affection and love. It also hurts worse that I’m “in love” with a fictional character.

Crying for my book boyfriend😢😢

This song reminds me of the boy i used to see in my dreams. He was sauce a pure soul.I would recognize him in my dream like l've known him forever. We would hold hands and go on dates to places I've never been in life. But when i awake up I would forget his face. It's been two years i haven't seen him. I really miss him 😢

"but it's not real and you don't exist."

This reminds me of my escapism, I have two shows I watch that I desperately wish where real. I have dreams about them sometimes, and I think I, wake up and everything is how I want it to be, but I realize that nothing changed.

This and Taylor Swift's "Gold Rush" are giving the same whimsy feel for mee~ ehehe

this song reminds me of a Japanese guy i met in my dream. he was so kind, romantic, sweet and all. we turned out to like each other so we dated. he brought me to his house to meet his mom and we had little fun talking with each other, he was sweet like i said, he exposed me everywhere on his social media.. we took pictures, travelled around the world together, and much more. but when we both found out i was about to wake up, he was smiling and i was crying, he whispered "don't cry now, we'll meet in your reality soon enough" while caressing my cheek. we cuddled as long as we can before i woke up alone in my bed again. god please i love him so much :(

Love this ❤️😭😭😭

This song absolutely suits the theme of the book "The time traveler's wife" by Audrey Niffenegger. The main character's love was deeply but it was fragile, i would really recommend to read this then listen to the song Makes me sad for a whole week.

2:26 Hurts like a stab on the heart 😢

Pov: You were having a dream about a happy life but then you die and wake up and realize it was just a dream so you have to go back to sad reality.

Omg i love this song it really is a vibe even when your not sad and crying over your ex or loved ones

Beautiful lyrics thank you for this masterpiece.❤

This song feels like writing a story about a love that you’re I’ll never get to experience

THANK UUUU SOOO MUUCHH I LOVEE YOUU

When I first heard this song, it made me cry, as it reminded me that all that I've ever wanted is a lover.

This song brings me so much emotion and it hits me really hard😭

THANK YOUUU

I heard this song for the first time yesterday cause my best friend put it on when she was sleeping over at my house and as I was listening to it I stopped in my tracks because i was thinking of my crush thinking of what we could have had I’ll never forget him i love him so much he was so sweet 🥺

Never have a serious relationship with anyone. Some situationship, easy come easy go. This song captures my desire to actually be loved and love someone. Wish I could feel it oneday, what true love meant to be.

Not this song making me remember a person from a movie that was my comfort character....

Hits me when she said "but its not real and u dont exist"

Me and my fictional husband 😔👍

My grandma just passed away and this song brings me comfort but also makes me cry

I felt so sad for no reason

for me the "you don't exist" is like at the version I've constructed in my head of the person I like. that person isn't real, it's just how I imagine them to be.

YOU REALLY CARED. YOU MAKE THIS FOORR MEE???

I think it's a sad one , where you create memories inside your head , when your heart has almost accepted that your crush would reject you 🦋🍂

I have a man in my dreams whos been there since childhood. I used to be very in love w him, and a part of my heart still loves this not- real person. But Ive moved on, with my husband. This song made my chest ache in memory.

When you fall in love with a fictional character

I cry hearing this song. I love a fictional character that alot of people probably knows(catnoir/adrien) I imagine fake scenarios with him everyday. Eventualy it became an everyday thing. Most of the time i imagine taht he is with me and he comforts me everytime im sad or hurt by my friends, family, or random starngers. Knowing he is not real hurts me so badly. I wish everyday so deeply that why couldnt i just be borned in a universe where miraculous was our world but i knew what happens next so i change everything and me and catnoir/adrien get to have a great dream life. This song exprecess everything im feeling all at once. Why did they have to make catnoir/adrien so cute. It just makes my life harder knowing someone i deeply love is not real💔💔

Why nobody mixes this up with the song "a thousand years"????

It feels like yearning for deep love that accepts you for who you are. Who loves you unconditionally

What a fantastic beautiful song

I remember listening to this, whilst longing for my past love. It makes me emotional. In the best way. I feel empathy and tenderness for my loving parts, the suffering parts, the caring parts, the dissapointed parts, the confused parts, the hurting parts, the longing parts, the parts searching for the meaning in the midst of it all, the part that remember everything, burns from the memories of the past lover. The way I screamed, in the middle of the night, in a dark wintery frozen lake, I scream so hard, so painstakingly, hurtingly, desperately, hopelessly, lost, stuck in forever limbo of the bleeding heart and longing. Oh, dear me. I suffered. I suffered, so deeply, profoundly, in a way that I did not even know existed. It was my first real heartbreak. Pure heartbreak. Not the first breakup, but the first time feeling the cutting of the attachement to someone I held dear to my heart. Every day was a fight. I used to wake up feeling terrified of the day ahead, stopping to cry and scream and just break down countless times a day. So much toiler paper was used haha. I was crazy. It did not make any sense. I remember spending night in the bathroom floor, just because it felt more something, more suiting, more comforting than the bed. I don't know. Walking for hours, to exhaust my body, to allow myself to sleep; the only way to spend time was to cry or walk. Nothing made any sense. Heartbreak is a scary place to be at. I really thought I wouldn't survive it. That it would never end. That I would never find anyone again, that made my heart skip a beat. Then, here I am now. Writing this and remembering it fondly: "One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful." Listening to the Tommy Lefroy. The memories of her don't make me breakdown anymore. However, I don't remember her scent, voice, how her body felt, how we laughed, any of these things, not as vividly as I used. I am not sad anymore that our season will never come again, but I can look with fondness, smile and inner embrace. Whilst also feeling the regret of hurting her, the chaos, the psychological violenc, everything that was wrong, manipulative, overreacting, fights, jealousy, all of it, the nights spent sleeping embracing you. I've never slept that well, than when I held you in my arms. It felt so safe, like home, like everything was good in the world. Then I also fell in love with someone else. Not completly, but atleast partially. Now she is also gone. I almost went crazy for her, well, to be honest, I think I did go crazy for her, but we burnt quickly, and then flame just died. Now I feel this emptiness, which is not really sorrow, sadness, or hurt, but just something missing. Life is weird. I can say that I am not the same person I was two years ago. I have completely changed. I've grown less emotional, more mature, more calm, more realistic, even pessimistic, more aware, I've had glimpses of loving myself, I take more responsibility, I want good for myself, I've learned so much, I think more broadly and seriously about my role in the human race, I don't want to have short term chaotic in my life anymore (alcohol, jealous fits of rage with alcohol, weird situationships ruining everything, being restless and calling it being alive). I am so tired nowdays from everything I've been through. I've started to value becoming an adult, real adult, with the most utmost respect. Adoring teenagers and their culture, their small games, being cool, those are things I don't have energy to cary anymore. I still have the teenager inside of myself, but not in the leading role. Because I wan't minimize my suffering from stupid sources. Still learning. Now I know how damn much I still have growing up to do. Life is weird. So weird. Fleeting. Now are the days that I will miss with passion, years to come. Thank you blessing me with this life. It is all a mystery. Weirdest mystery. Glad to be alive. Glad to be alive. Let's see what more life has to offer.

That last chorus is a gut punch.

This song is making me live through memories I've never even had.

This feels like every one-sided love story of two best friends. Yes, I’m speaking from experience. Sadly, I’m the one helplessly in love with him even knowing that I’d never have a shot with him

I believe this is my official song for long distance relationship , warm feelings and it has this intense feeling of intimacy, like it’s too good to be true.

Can this be a thread where we all confess the fictional characters that live rent free in our hearts? 🖤

I’m not crying

This song is so good it gives me the chills

"and I don't want to leave but I have to go" ❤️🥰🎉

If I were to make a video for this it would have to be centered around a balllroom dance, two lovers dancing happily like they have a million times before. But with each turn we see the girl gets sadder and sadder, her smile breaking slightly with every spin and her heart racing because shes scared that if she stops looking at him hes going to disappear forever. Then, still dancing she spun once again and this time she looks back hes gone, she continues to dance as though he was still - or perhaps never, there. Tears starting down her face feeling more lost and broken with every move but the dance becomes more intense, more heartbreaking as she holds up the shaky hand that was meant to brush the hand of her love. Then his hand will rise to hers, and the flashbacks will start, each will show the two dancing across life times, in Ancient Egypt, B.C, Renaissance, 20's, etc. All dancing the same dance. Towards the end we see the modern dancer get so upset she is almost angry, wanting to scream for her lost lover, while the others dance in harmony. She stops and collapses, we see a memory of her falling into his arms the same way, she cries, rises and begins running. Now, we have hope she might be running to him - hope that him disappearing earlier was just due to a break up and not what we all are dreading it is. As she runs we see each of her past selves running to him as well all beaming with smiles and light and she, our modern day woman runs to the top of a grassy cliff overlooking water and there he is, we see a memory of them together in that same spot, he turns, their eyes meet and they start running to eachother. She finally smiles again as shes about to be reunited with him. On the last beat of the song each of their past selves finally embrace, we see this happen consecutively until we reach the modern girl and as they finally reunite, he vanishes into her arms. She collapses for the last time, as she falls the scene changes and she is back on the ballroom dance floor, alone. If anyone steals this video idea... you lucky I dont have money.

This is what it feels like to be in love w a fictional character

Listening to this when I was on my lowest point. Now, i find comfort in it.
