Hotel Books - Can You Do Me A Kindness? Lyrics

"I never knew it was cold until I knew how the heat felt"

I have Borderline Personality Disorder/Emotional Dysregulation Disorder (BPD/EDD)

And for a lot of us, this is painfully relatable in many different interpretations. And it hurts.

So good!! Love this bands pure Passion.

💗💗💗

I'm not expected for anyone to feel bad about what I have to say. This song makes it so relatable to what's been going on. There's one person who I love but we both have unresolved issues (mental illnesses, etc). All the sudden, she stopped talking to me and I've been trying to reach out to her for a month and a half; I've given her time for a week or longer and try again. On Christmas day, I said, "Merry Christmas, have a good one." I got no responses. Since the messages are on Facebook, the most painful thing is leaving my words out there and seeing that she "seen" the messages but I get nothing. I apologized too for whatever I did which I'm unsure of because she never told me so I'm left with being all alone again. Talking to her made things great for me again, I felt warm again rather than being cold. I was able to sleep with something so beautiful in my thoughts, (conversations, how sweet she is, and loving). The lyric, "I just wish you'd come home and teach me how to wake back up," I wish she would just message me back for once... even if it's a few words, I'm fine with that. As of Jan 9, 2017, I left one more message and she "seen" it but no responses, again. I'm not sure what to do because she hasn't told me anything and it makes me worried that I admit, my emotions change if she's not okay. I don't know if she's okay although she probably is. Even in the past, I've played this game before that people have ignored me all the sudden without giving me an explanation why. I would appreciate if people wouldn't throw me out like a trash bag. If people don't want to be friends with anyone any more or be there for them anymore, etc, you should be honest and tell them. For your sake, if you are not happy with that person or you feel that you need time to withdrawn from others, you should be 100% honest if you care about that person. If you don't want to hurt someone, that means you care about them, correct? So be fucking honest, please. I don't think it's ever okay to suddenly ignore someone who you once committed to showing that you care about them and walk away giving them the mess you left. Even if you are unsure how you feel, you should still tell them either way even if you are unsure. If that person wants to wait for you, that means they have committed their time for you and they care. The lyric, "Forgetting your love or at least trying to." I'm stuck with that thought because I'm trying to forget or I think I'm at least trying to. It's been a month and a half, I'm still shockingly dealing with this bullshit... I cry sometimes in bed, I'm confused, I never understand what happened. I know things will be okay again, but this will affect me entirely on how I meet people. I'm more worried about meeting someone new because eventually you have to let them in but will that person stay? We all want someone to stay and watching someone leave without any words is fucking hell.

Your infection, inflects the walls each night, and the shades of color are all black and white, just like your goodbye. Gets me every time.

i can't :/
the feels are too much.

another lyrical masterpiece. ♡

love this to death, more like their old stuff

this kind of reminded me of Books (anti what have you). utterly beautiful. Anybody else?

this, ripped me in half. ugh cam smith knows how to reach deep into the listeners soul. a broken fan, there is many people broken crying right now to this

The Hotel Books that I remember. Best song on the album by far! I love the spoken word!

Beautiful

Damn this explains how my year is so far and the only time I go out is to run and school which is only two times a week yet I deeply understand this which hurts, but I'm still trying to clear my mind

This ripped my soul in fucking half

I don't go outside as much as I used to
I'm not home, just in my house forgetting myself or at least trying to
But not forgiving unti l come back out
I have a light on in my room
During the day I hardly notice it
But at night it keeps me from falling asleep
I have this dream of knowing you
During the day I hardly notice it
But at night it keeps me from all other dreams
The numbing of time taught me how to finally fall asleep
I just wish you'd come home and teach me how to wake back up
This is torture, this is truth, this is unfamiliar pain
This is following an ache but this is love

There's a railroad track behind my house
At night I can hear freight being taken to retail
But I'm still not sold on letting myself out
I never knew it was cold until I knew how the heat felt
You were always warm when put in warm place
But I was too shallow to contain the same flame
There's a nicotine patch on my night stand
You never did quit but at least you tried
Or maybe you did but I never saw you lift a cigarette to your lips
I was preoccupied looking into my reflection and the way you said you felt alive
Your infection inflects the walls each night
And the shades of color are all black and white
Just like your goodbye
You said to stop letting your love consume my mind
I never did quit but at least you tried
I don't go outside as much as I used to
I'm not home, I'm just trying to sleep at night
Forgetting your love or at least trying to
You said goodbye, now just say goodnight

Haha I wasn't even paying attention to the song and thought this was a personal comment. Until he said "I have a dream of knowing you"
