Ben has said this wasn't written because someone broke up with him. He actually wrote this from the perspective of the person he separated with. He was the one who needed space. That's the power of acting, the empathy of seeing the other side. It's truly powerful and moving. Thank you Ben for this beautiful song!

I wonder if he's crying because he doesn't mean this song to be benefiting from their sadness, or using their heartbreak for profitable inspiration; he means this as a way of empathy and understanding the person. In the end: the song is still making him money; and I think the double edged sword is horribly painful to bear, because he means well, and is worried after breaking up with them, this song will come off wrong to the person it's meant for.

I wanted to break up with my boyfriend few times before, but he never want to allow me. Until last november he finally agreed, the failure of my decision happened when he found a way reach me. He never left afterwards. He's like a pimple you can't get rid off easily. But, he made me understand how much he cared for me with his efforts and how he accepts me regardless of my immaturity and insecurities. I understood how badly he wanted me to be with him. (Obsession at it's best) I realize that i could improve myself beside him, that I can depend on him when times I just feel helpless. He did so many things to have me, and did so many things to have me again. I'm grateful I have him with me. (Thankfully he's not the maniac type of obsessed man.)

I love how people interpret this song differently. Some people see it as a breakup song for two people who love each other and just are not right for each other. While others see this song as a tribute to partners growing together through challenges. Yes, I know he wrote it about a relationship he had where he knew they just weren’t right for each other. But that’s the beauty of music. Interpretation!

@TheStarss785

So my interpretation is, I made this new friend and I didn't think twice about it he doesn't want to date anyone n just be friends. Then after spending time with him he made me notice that I wasnt just falling for his personality but i was falling for him. (Of course never confessing this to him but I'm sure he knew by the way I simply held his hand or the way my eyes looked at him So Deeply.) So I kept asking myself why has God brought this person into my life and why do I hold him so closely to me? He's always kept people at a far distance cuz he says he wants to leave behind the smallest print of damage (as a grenade he referenced himself) After a while he told me his sercret. That he was dying from cancer n the doctors told him he be lucky to live 3-6 months. It took everything in me not to fall to my knees in front of him n not cry, but I knew I had to be strong standing there hearing this, at the same time I never felt my heart be torn apart in this new different way. All I wanted was his company n the way he's shaping me to be the man I should be n always wanted to be. So as I'm growing n learning from him I decided to spend every second that I can have with him as a gift. While we all have a soulmate or soulmates in this world we never know how much time we have to spend with that person, So I'm gonna enjoy it n bring as much happiness into his world bcuz he has brought so much love into my heart. PS: he's still alive n still going from the time expectancy the doctors gave him.

I don't know if you've ever loved someone who struggles with the demons of manic depression but there is a detaching they do when they hit their lows- a pushing away as they wrestle with all of the worst solutions to a battle they feel like they never win. The first time I heard this song, it had me in a ball on the floor. I wanted to call my daughter, immediately, and play it for her. This is what I feel every time she goes to that dark place. I get that this was written from the perspective of two people in a romantic relationship but I will never see it as anything but a mother begging her daughter to just keep holding on. That she doesn't have to go to the dark places alone.

The most beautiful thing anyone can ever do is accept your flaws, your insecurities and help you overcome them. The most beautiful kind of love is the one that is not perfect, but the one that helps you grow as you go. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever find someone like that. A love like that is so rare, it's a privilege. So if you have someone in your life who accepts you in your darkest moments, stays by your side and helps you grow, please don't let them go.

I sent this song to my ex when he was distancing from me and when he said he needed to be alone from now on. He replied that he feels bad for me that I still have hope. It broke me. This song beautifully summarized my feelings and my heart goes out to everyone who’s going through a hard time. I’m with you

He was so much more than a boyfriend to me, but he really is my best friend. I know I will be okay and be able to heal from this, but I will always miss this best friend of mine. This song hits home because I wish I can always be the one that can be by his side as we grow. I hope everyone that is/will be listening to this song will find peace knowing that things will be okay.

There really should be 2 separate videos, 1 dedicated to each performance. I keep thinking what I'm missing when the scene changes from Ben to the dancers, and then back. It's both too much... and not enough. Maybe that's why I keep coming back every few days trying to drink it all in.

Discovered this song as I was going through a break-up, and it was the most beautiful thing. Now I realise that it's actually also a perfect love song for people who have found each other. Genius.

Since i lost my wife, i have been seeing her right next to me while i talk to the imaginary "her". Sometines I see her smile, sometimes i see her cry, giving me a cheer of encouragement or waving goodbye to me. Its so real sometimes that i felt a moment of comfort seeing her there... But i know how Ben feels at the end of the video... cause thats how i tear up when i reality hits me. When I know that shes actually gone.

This song has been a wild ride for me. At first, it was a song that made me feel sad because I had a relationship where I wanted to grow with them. We broke up a bit before I found this song. A year or so later, we had both grown as people and found each other again. We're going on our second year anniversary for the first time, with a total of about 3.5 years in the relationship, and now we're actually growing together, supporting each other. I think we needed the time apart, but *man* am I happy we got back together. But yeah, this song is a bit crazy cause now I have what I once lacked

That sounds creepily sadistic, but I get it...

I feel like in this new era of relationships and friendships it is so easy to walk away from someone you feel is “doing you wrong” or that you need time away to heal by yourself but it takes a very strong person to stick through the hard times. I’m learning this each day and it is hard but that itself is growth, right?

I've never heard a song until now that makes me cry. This is painfully sweet. The lyrics are incredibly accepting, forgiving, and loving. Then you have Ben's tone that anchors it into an overwhelmingly bittersweet melody. It goes straight to the heart leaving you vulnerable, leaving you open, but ready, to take on all the challenges of being in a relationship. If I'd ever get married, I want this to be the song that flows thru the reception. It's beautiful. 🥲

A song that will always remind me of you, and will always bring me to tears. I wish we could have grown together, but I'm happy you are able to grow with someone else.

I had to give up recently on my ex. I’m too tired I’ve tried for 3 years to make things work, but I can’t anymore. It’s horrible to find the end of the tunnel but realizing you have to go alone.

This seems to come directly after "Ease My Mind" in the longer narrative Ben Platt is telling across the videos for this album. (He's wearing the same clothes at the end of "Ease My Mind" as he is in this video.) In the previous video, Ben's boyfriend has just left him, for no given reason, and this song seems to be the explanation -- the boyfriend, a photographer, thought he needed to grow on his own. Ben's face reflects his own internal monologue, because the song is his plea for his boyfriend to stay. He is also represented by the woman dancer, constantly and tenaciously seeking the male dancer who is both with her and trying to get away from her, and who disappears more and more frequently before vanishing completely, while at the same time Ben himself starts tearing up around 4.01 and has a tear streak on his face by 4.08. The female dancer runs through the building and looks into the doorway where Ben is singing, and he looks at the doorway. He sees her and recognises her as the expression of his own longing, and when we look back at the doorway, she is gone, a figment of his imagination. Ben's face melts into a tiny, sad, tender smile, because he's looking at his own lost hope.

Yes! And Bad Habit's definitely a third plate in the narrative although how it is sewn in--either as prologue or coming after GAWG--is still unclear to me. If the story follows the sequence in which the videos were released (it most probably does), it makes it all the more crushing to go from desperately clawing your way out of an addiction to a love lost, to moments of sweet remembering, to softly pleading for an alternative (growing together). We are taken to walk with Ben in his most intimate journey of heartbreak and at the same time witness the reflection of our own pains unfolding in these vignettes.

This is probably the first time I've truly experienced having the thought of "You know, the world would honestly be a much better place if more people were aware of this person's music." Ben Platt genuinely has the voice of an angel and the world is truly affected positively by his presence in it.

Sometimes you're the tree, and sometimes the vine, desperately clinging to and suffocating the tree. Vines need something (or someone) to cling to; trees don't. They grow and thrive on their own. I always chased younger trees, but we didn't grow together, they always grew apart, reaching for the sun. Then I found an older tree, who was mature and mostly done growing. He was cold and alone, and I offered to wrap myself around him and never let go, if he'd let me, and he let me. His trunk is my strength and my leaves have brought new life to his old limbs. Ben seems like a fellow vine. I hope he finds his tree one day, and they do grow as they go. 🌿🌳

Even our favorite people, who we think have their lives all put together, are human. broken. Imperfect. Damaged. They are beautiful, yes. But they are broken. Just like you and me. That's what keeps them human. Anyone who says that they have their life together is a liar, by saying that, they are claiming to be perfect. NOBODY is perfect. If you could switch lives with anybody in the world who you think have their lives together, you would be both disappointed, and you would change your world view. The way people perceive things changes everything. One woman might hate men because as a child she was abused by one, perspective. My dog, for instance was abused by her former master, a man. She hated every man in my family until 3 years after we got her. during those 3 years though, a FedX Man came to drop off a package, I opened the door and she ran out and bit the mans hand. Luckily, I'm a nurse, and this was when COVID-19 Wasn't a real threat yet. I managed to help the man and only come off with a warning and fine. Now, she's the sweetest dog anyone could ask for. I cried watching this video because I had just recently went through a divorce. I will always be a theater kid at heart.

Am I the only one that thinks that that is a sick choreography? You can see the emotion conveyed in the movements, the emotion is almost tangible!

Except when she is running by herself. She is a normal clumsy girl. It is when she meets up with him that they are so in sync. I love dancing like this, my daughter would live it too. Always reminds me of so you think you can dance, this couple did bleeding love, that show had wonderful choreography too...the dancers sing with no words...

@@azlanyaacob4737 you have 105 people who liked your comment enough, that dude is just looking for something to hate on positive comments for. What a weirdo. I wonder what he says to the commentors who just love asking if anyone else is watching it in their current year. Well, everyone that sees their comment, of course, but that is just not important. Trolls are everywhere. Every positive statement and comment is like an open target to them. All that condescension when he could just skip it and get a freakin life.

I will always love anything this person sings. Such a beautiful voice transcends generations and genres. Well done, Ben!

I jut lost someone I love so much because I couldn't be there when thy needed me most... He introduced me to this song... And I cant believe I had to delete his number listening to this song, so that I'm able to walk past this... And now I'll be listening to this song when all ill have is memories😭

This reminds me so much of my boy bestfriend whom I risked the friendship with to continue as lovers. Although he loved me first, in the end it was me asking him to stay. Two days before our 21st month together, he told me that he wanted to focus on himself first, that we're young and he wanted to do things without thinking about hurting anyone with anything he does. He wanted to improve himself without my help, without my support. That he forgot who he was and changed, felt incomplete. He told me he loved me too much that he forgot to love himself. Now, we've decided to stay friends. I chose to give him what he wanted even though it was nowhere near what I want. I wanted to be selfish, I wanted him for me, I wanted him to stay and grow with me. But I chose to let go cause it's for his happiness :) But the thought of being his world once, and now I'm only a part of it makes my heart ache a lot. I know you won't see this. But I just want you to know that I love you. And I'm sorry if I'm not the right person who makes you love yourself even more day by day. You ARE the best thing that has ever happened to me. I may not be with you as you grow for you chose to grow alone, but I promise to be here for you and watch you become the best version of yourself. Maybe God has different plans. It was a great rollercoaster ride with you, my love. Never lose yourself again. Maybe someday, we'll be together for the second time. And by then, we'll be ready to grow together and have loved ourselves more than anyone else.

Only mature people can endure this. I'm so proud that you're a selfless human being. Please rediscover yourself as he does it, too. Don't stop growing! Cheer up, babe. You can do it. This part of your journey may seem sorrowful at the moment, but you'll thank this situation in the future. 💖

HI BEN YOU'RE NOT GONNA SEE THIS BUT I LOVE YOU

I had to let him go. I had to force myself to realize he's not going to grow as we go. I was the one who had to make the decision for both our sakes. For the first time in my life i was in love, and i had to come to terms with the fact that it was just a lesson to finally put myself first. Because no matter how many times he said, he didn't love me enough to solve his problems, just to blame me. He refused to get better. Letting his hand go even tho every fiber of me wanted to hold him tight, was one of the most painful things i've done. After 2,5years he called and he's still the same. Not gonna let him close ever again.

I see this as God telling me He will be there to help me, I don't need to hide myself. I /cannot/ hide my struggles, because He sees it all. And He wants to be there to comfort and love me. I love Him for that. It feels so good. To know that, believe that, even if you can't feel it. Love is not attraction, attatchment ir a feeling; it is a choice you make. It is a skill you learn and work throughout your life to be better at.

I'm amazed by how incredibly talented you are. Your voice is so soothing!!!

@bensplatt, if you see this, I just want you to know that you are my idol, you are my inspiration. just by being you, you have changed the way I look at the world. your music and voice has traveled so far and had such a big impact on so many people (I do live in Alaska). anyway, thank you so much for everything that you do.
