As a child of divorce and now 28 year old, you donāt realize how many people went through the exact same thing. Itās almost like a secret club youāre in when you hear about someone elseās similar experience. Even though divorce is so normalized these days, itās not easy going through it as a child. I did the same thing as AJR. I used to put on plays for my parents and when they divorced I started filming them so I could show my dad the play at his house because the neighborhood kids couldnāt be there to do the play again. Those videos are hard to watch because I obviously was doing them just to be able to show my dad what he missed because of the divorce. Itās never easy and even as an adult itās still hard to this day. Thank you AJR once again for another beautifully relatable masterpiece.

As someone who knows how it feels for their parents to be apart... it just hits home. Because itās like when your younger you know that something isnāt right and it kinda feels like it your fault that your parents arenāt together. And going over the other parents house (being mom or dad) it doesnāt feel... right. You think itās better to have both parents there to see what you can do and to help through out life. But now that Iām 16, I know that life goes on. I just have to make the best of itššš

I theorized before the song came out that it might be about their parents' divorce, since the Cover shows them looking homeless and for the kids it usually feels like they lost their home when their parents seperate and the divorce was mentioned once in Birthday Party ("I bet our parents always stay in love") and never in my life have i felt sadder knowing i was right.
I hope you boys are atleast okay now <3

My Girlfriend and I listend together to first time. She told me afterwards, as she was little that she was in a theater group in her School. Her Parents were divorced for a certain time around that time. Her Mother was so Mad at her Dad, that she said she would leave if he was there. So, at the premier of the Show, her Dad hid behind some Headlights & stood there, watching this 90 minutes long play of his Daughter & as soon as it was finished, he left as fast as he could, so his Ex-Wife wouldnt notice him.
As she told me that, she looked happy, but bursted out in Tears after. This Song really has something magical in it.

"But maybe you'll forget it all when you're watching my play" This line hurt.
As a kid with both my parents getting a divorce, i tried my best to try and fix it. I thought that if i did something really cool or tired to remind them they loved each other that it would be fixed. Of course it wasn't but man... This song just hurts.

This has a similar feeling to Donāt throw out my legos but with so much more raw emotion. Honesty is so much sadder than just a āsad songā
