Maine, The - These Four Words Lyrics






I really should just go home
And play with myself
Better that than stay
And do something else
Cause we can't be friends that much I know
I wish it wasn't so
And I can't take my heart someplace it won't go
Show me to the door

As if a plane crash were timely
There's no good time for bad news
These four words don't come easy
"I don't love you"

Listen to your friends & leave me alone
I'm just a boy
I'm drunk, I'm 24
I don't want to hurt you anymore
Don't waste your tears on me now pretty girl
When I hate myself for letting you go
You can be the one to say "I told you so"

As if a plane crash were timely
There's no good time for bad news
These four words don't come easy
"I don't love you"

As if a plane crash were timely
There's no good time for bad news
These four words don't come easy
"I don't love you"

Maine, The These Four Words Comments
  1. E.... N....

    Reminds me of Ricky Nelson's Lonesome Town
    .
    .
    .
    7 years passed by, never could get tired of this song

  2. -.... m....

    Laying on my bed and listening to sad music while ignoring all my responsibilities is one of my favorite things.

  3. -.... m....

    It is my life goal to learn this on piano.

  4. R.... c....

    Im still crying.

  5. A.... G....

    I hope all you .f's buy a ticket to see the Maine live at house of. Blues.

  6. m.... S....

    Three days ago, as I was getting out of the car, he said “love you, babe”. It was the first time he had ever said it and I knew it was a slip up the moment the words left his lips. Tonight, he told me he didn’t mean it, at least not in the way that I wanted, and that he probably never would. Then he told me he needed a break. My heart is broken, eyes swollen, body sore from convulsing, and listening to this song... I just wish I knew why.

  7. M.... A....

    I dont know how this theme didnt exploting at the time and yet...The piano is so special and the lyrics so profound..

  8. C.... ....

    esse clipe me destrói TODA VEZ

  9. P.... E....

    This hot swedish guy said he didn't love me while he still.kissed me. I feel like I will never forget him. Not because he told me he was gay, cause he had sex with me but because I feel like he just wanted me to feel pain

  10. P.... E....

    The hunna has a similar video. Check ehm out

  11. T.... S....

    Essa musica só não tem mais viwes porque se tivesse cresceria o número de suicidas.

  12. E.... S....

    I've never been in a relationship at all and when this first came out, it broke my heart cos it felt like John was breaking up with me. 😭

  13. H.... w....

    Anyone getting a Glen Campbell - I'm not gonna miss you vibe?

  14. B.... M....

    this seems to apply to me and my good friend/ crush
    I love him to bits, but he doesn't feel the same way about me. It's been like this for years, but it still hurts.

  15. B.... M....

    "There's no good time for bad news"
    one of my favourite quotes

  16. a.... f....

    Loveo de corason

  17. a.... h....

    It's so sad and weird to llisten to songs like this and feel like it's somebody else singing it to you, not the otherwise

  18. k.... ....

    this is amazing

  19. C.... W....

    So this is about a guy using a girl and telling her he's not what she wants and that he wants to be out of her life?

  20. M.... S....

    They have grown so much in their music compared to who they used to be lumped in with: All Time Low, Mayday Parade... The Maine have evolved so much more elegantly. Way too underrated - hopefully they can break into the indie scene now days.

  21. M.... M....

    fucking ow.

  22. K.... i....

    lyrics?

  23. f.... ....

    how to fucked up a heart really bad guide: do what John did in 3:01

  24. R.... L....

    holy shit this is the first time I fully understood the actual sentiment of this song and now I've broken down

    R.... L....

    the fact that i found you here in the comment section hahah I miss your vlogs!!

    R.... L....

    HAHA WHAT A COINCIDENCE HELLO!!! I'll have one up soon :)

    R.... L....

    Renzo Lumanog Same ....

  25. S.... R....

    I could've gone my entire life without this haha

  26. E.... U....

    This song is the reason I cry because I can't tell the person about my feelings and its killing me, so I repeat these four words every single minute in my mind. I wish I wasn't this shy or insecure. I can only wish. I hope I was man enough to just say it with straight face. But I feel she can find so many better looking, fit and amazing people than me.

    E.... U....

    If you don't try something, you'll never know the way she feels about you

    E.... U....

    Well I failed in telling her cause something happened before that and she took a joke in a wrong way. And now all I can do is wait for her to come back so I can at least explain her and say my heart out cause its painful that I made her feel bad and I have to live with the guilt. I love her too much

    E.... U....

    E U P H O R I A i feel you

  27. Y.... C....

    What happened to love these days and lifelong partnership and commitment to one person.. :( I believe, if your in love in the beginning, your in love til the end (because love never fails).. Such a sad song :'(

  28. A.... M....

    This song... geez... I'm trying to figure out how to say those words to someone... I'm really not looking forward to breaking her heart... :(

  29. A.... M....

    if anyone knows any songs like this by them or any other bands please let me know thank you

    A.... M....

    you might like Visions! Give it shake :)

  30. J.... T....

    one of those songs that will never not make me cry

  31. u.... ....

    I don't know how you can listen through this song if you've ever been the girl in this situation. :( I break my own heart every time I decide to listen to this

    u.... ....

    same. it hits home

    u.... ....

    it's been more than three years since i last listened to this. it got easier, but i still cry sometimes.

  32. j.... d....

    this song is still so precious even after 3 years

  33. G.... R....

    this hurts even more when you've already been in the situation the songs about.

  34. M.... ....

    this song fucked me up

  35. S.... W....

    This explains my break up. I told here those 4 words, repetitively, her actions were similar to hers. I was with this girl for a year, we broke up 4 times because I was afraid of commitment, now that was 2 years ago. Me and here were still together and now 3 words come easy but only reserved for my special one. Beautiful work.

  36. D.... S....

    It hurts more, when you're actually left by someone..

  37. z.... a....

    i'm still emotional over this.

  38. A.... M....

    this reminds me of Coldplay

    A.... M....

    Uhhh ... why?
    I'm a big fan of both bands ... and I'd like to know.

  39. C.... R....

    When you're in a perfect, long lasting relationship and this song makes you feel like you're gong through a break up. I don't deserve these tears!

  40. S.... T....

    This song still hurts me.

  41. E.... T....

    Come to copenhagen GUYS!!

    E.... T....

    YES!!!!

  42. A.... N....

    Damn, I missed them in chile.

  43. A.... o....

    The Maine is so underrated.

    A.... o....

    Agreed.

  44. S.... V....

    ✋💞👏

  45. S.... x....

    Oh how I wish you guys would come to India. Out of all the bands I listen to, you guys are the ones I'd love to see live.
    it would be amazing to see my favorite band in concert, but yeah.
    Hopefully someday I get the cash and travel to see you perform.
    Until then, please don't stop doing what you're doing. Your songs may not top the charts but it's things like you guys doing a free tour that make The Maine my favorite band.
    That and the undeniable way I connect to each of your albums, I grew up with them. So I'd just like to say,
    Thank you.

    S.... x....

    Oh hey..same thoughts here...am also in nagaland, India n huge fan of the maine...let's hope one day they tour India too..near future wish! cheers!!!

    S.... x....

    Samantha x same thought here. I have been listening to them since 2011 and someday they will here in India. Someday soon

  46. M.... A....

    I fucking love the song but I can't watch the video too longer. I'm fucking jealous 💔🔪🌵

  47. K.... ....

    So good man. Wish you guys had a huge fan base here in India so u could come hold a concert here! Guess I'll just have to travel to the Philippines or somewhere like that haha. Anyway, sending truckloads of live your way

    K.... ....

    Yes, please do! They always come to the Philippines (although I have not been to any of their concerts, sadly), so we could meet!

    K.... ....

    Kamayani yeah they always go here in the philippines! in fact i'll be seeing them again this june :) you should go here, watch them then do tourist stuff ❤

  48. C.... G....

  49. T.... G....

  50. s.... e....

    s.... e....

    I don't love you

  51. G.... N....

    I really should just go home
    And play with myself
    Better that than stay
    And do something else
    Cause we can't be friends that much I know
    I wish it wasn't so
    And I can't take my heart someplace it won't go
    Show me to the door

    As if a plane crash were timely
    There's no good time for bad news
    These four words don't come easy
    "I don't love you"

    Listen to your friends & leave me alone
    I'm just a boy
    I'm drunk, I'm 24
    I don't want to hurt you anymore
    Don't waste your tears on me now pretty girl
    When I hate myself for letting you go
    You can be the one to say "I told you so"

    As if a plane crash were timely
    There's no good time for bad news
    These four words don't come easy
    "I don't love you"

    As if a plane crash were timely
    There's no good time for bad news
    These four words don't come easy
    "I don't love you"

    G.... N....

    so beautiful...
    the only line I don't quite understand is "as if a plane crash were timely"
    can anyone tell me what that means? (English is not my native language)

  52. T.... ....

    Does anyone also like country/folk music?

  53. A.... H....

    meaningful lyrics and video

  54. P.... E....

    I wanna touch John's ding dong again.. It's a nice place..

  55. E.... R....

    Wow that's deep :/

  56. H.... S....

    This song can make me cry so easily...I love this song

  57. J.... ....

  60. G.... B....

    Una de las mejores<3

  61. j.... ....

    i was scared to hear those four words.....(coming from your lips) but you actually said the opposite (: thank you!! i love you <3 now and forever!

  62. D.... H....

    this song is so powerful

  63. N.... D....

    Don't listen to your friends they would have never let it start.

  64. M.... R....

    the story of my life... being liked/loved by someone you don't feel anything for... :/

    M.... R....

    I'm more on the loving someone and them not loving me back in the same way
    it hurts a lot, but I assume it mustn't be easy for them too

  65. R.... G....

    Someone get me sheet music!

  66. R.... ....

    The Maine - Listen to Your Heart: "Dont Listen to Your Friends"
    The Maine - These Four Words: "So Listen To Your Friends..."

    What John...

    R.... ....

    Basically another way of saying that he doesn't know what he wants... xD ahahah

  67. H.... C....

    I loveee how theyve evolved

  68. a.... ....

    I met them at warped tour, and they were just, so sweet, and so amazing. I'll never forget it ♥

    a.... ....

    I wanted to talk to them, but the line was about a mile long.

    a.... ....

    yea it took us a hour to get to see them, we were like 30 minutes early, too.

    a.... ....

    @fasttturtlez The crowd wasn't too packed though because The Summer Set was on at the same time, which was nice.

    a.... ....

    I met john at warped orlando 2014 and i messed an entire sentence bc i was so nervous and he just laughed and called me adorable. Best day of my life.

  69. D.... H....

    I'm not a fan of his voice in this song. I miss his old hair.

    D.... H....

    people change.

    D.... H....

    no I think you'll find that seasons change but people don't

    D.... H....

    @Cuugal i laughed

  70. A.... K....

    awe, i love john

  71. O.... M....

    probably they are not on a level to be called the musicians of the century, but I totally get the song:the music, the lyrics, the video, for me it has that simple balance that is so nice to listen to. probably sometimes it is not about shallowness or deepness, everyone just has a different way of expressing their feelings and some other people are tuned to some others, and some others are not. There is nothing bad in those four words..

  72. m.... A....

    Imagine he goes back and he's like, "I forgot my keys lol"

    m.... A....

    this makes me laugh every time 

    m.... A....

    im crying because of the video... then i read maria's comment and i laugh so hard im feeling my abs working haha  (: you're awesome!

    m.... A....

    That happened to me. My boyf broke up with me and 5 mins later he came back because he left his wallet. And an hour later to apologises and get back together. Now I laugh at it ahah

  73. C.... T....

    these 3 words.

  74. b.... m....

    What the Fuck 57 dickheads unliked this can they go sit on a cactus

  75. E.... M....

    You can see how John feels what he writes just by the way his voice sounds... I just can't listen to their sad songs without crying 😢 😢

  76. C.... ....

    This is so perfect. Such a simple video, but perfectly fits the song, and makes you not take your eyes off the screen. This song is so beautiful

  77. g.... ....

    This song makes my heart ache. :'(

  78. M.... ....

    crying, this is so emotional. 

  79. A.... ....

    I'm crying

  80. D.... ....

    PERFECT one night stand song

  81. T.... F....

    The feels for this song is just too much!

  82. E.... 2....

    You know you're too invested in a fandom when you hear a sad song and end up thinking about your otp instead if your hideously lonely love life 😂😭

    E.... 2....

    Oh my God, that's so me!! :3

    E.... 2....

    Yep I just prompted a song fic based on this song earlier.... Ha HA ha....

  84. T.... ....

    I just love this song

  85. N.... B....

    at the acoustic show in toronto john played this, and right after he sung "play with myself" some girl yelled "i'll play with you" he stopped and died laughing, and he wasn't able to play the song again without laughing it was so funny omg

    N.... B....

  89. R.... P....

    I hate how true this is, and how we're all going through this right now.

  90. M.... ....

    This hit home for me.

  91. T.... ....

    This is the song he gave me after we broke up (about 2 weeks after the break up) when we stopped trying to fix things up eventually it got worst instead. I read the lyrics at first and it was so deep for me, made me cry. The lyrics are so related to us at that time. I dont hate this song, i like it because it reminds me of him. Not the bad memories but the good ones that i had with him. I still love him tho, even he doesnt

  92. K.... B....

    Considering the first line of this song is "I really should just go home and play with myself", the fact that it still remains beautiful goes to show how talented The Maine are haha

  93. D.... Q....

    Everyone's all, "Criiess, this is so sad, blahblahblaah" am I the only one who cracked up laughing at the first line? Seriously, "I guess I should just go home and play with myself." doesn't matter how slow you sing it or how much slow piano you add that shit is funny.

    D.... Q....

    Nope you're not the one! High five bruh !

  94. Z.... ....

    I love this song sooo darn much.

  95. d.... ....
