Even my tears are crying...

This song not having won one freaking Grammy is a crime to humanity AND art.

It’s giving “I wish I hated you” and “we can’t be friends” mixed together 🥹

Ariana is a very talented music producer and lyricist. The big pause in the line "I'm hating myself because you don't want to... admit that it hurts you" gets me every time. "I'm hating myself because you don't want to". What a deeply sad, powerful, but ultimately relatable sentiment.

I don't think Thank U next was her most personal song, THIS ONE OVER HERE Y'ALL this one is her most personal song ever made.

“He just comes to visit me when I’m dreaming every now and then” might just be the saddest lyric I’ve ever heard

this song man..so special to her, she was at her lowest, she could barely talk about it and might be her most personal song so far..i'm still not alright with the fact that she begged scooter to not release this song and he still did, but at the end of the day i'm glad she shared a part of her personal life with this song now seeing her all happy, doing things she loves and even being married..i'm genuinely so happy for her, that she finally overcame all that sadness she had

i lost my ex boyfriend to a drug overdose as well just 3 months after we separated. he was my longest relationship. my first true love. this song hits so hard and its so close to me now because Ari went through the same exact thing. this pain is so horrible and i dont wish it upon anyone but seeing how Ari is thriving just gives me hope that this pain that i'm feeling will pass. thank you Ariana for sharing your music.

Fun fact: the vocals harmonising on the outro were composed by Ariana herself. She couldn’t finish a third verse, so she decided to go with this outro instead.

When she says: "when i cry again, over him" dude, ariana is a human and people still judging her and blaming her 4 mac's death. Nobody loved mac like ari. No body.

Shoutout to Victoria Monet and Tayla Parx they played a huge role in the writing process of this album, the emotions ari went through she was able to talk to her friends and create music. Her team is solid. Great body of work

Listening to this at 00:00 a.m in your bed alone in the dark just hits different

This song is so emotional. The fact that she acknowledges how Pete Davidson felt and how hard it was for him to see her go through Mac’s death and tried to do whatever he could to be there for her is amazing but also sad that they couldn’t work because of what happen

"he just comes to visit me when i'm dreaming every now and then" that has to be one of the most chilling lyrics ever giving the context of this song

After Mac died, his mother said that there were 976 missed calls from Ari.

i just love the fact of how in this she says she is a 'girl with a whole lot of baggage' but then in 'POV' she says, 'All my baggage fadin' safely'. Which is so heart warming cus its show that she is healing and becoming herself again, after going through all of what she did

In her interview for the album she couldn't even talk about this song without getting emotional. I'm so happy she shared this with us because it's highly personal and an absolute gem

if you don’t understand this song, it’s basically Pete Davidson is understanding of macs death and how Ariana cries about it. even though it hurts pete, he’s understanding of how Ariana feels 🤍 rip Mac Miller

LYRICS I know you hear me when I cry I try to hold it in the night While you're sleepin' next to me But it's your arms that I need this time (This time) Look at the cards that we've been dealt If you were anybody else Probably wouldn't last a day Every tear's a rain parade from hell (From hell) Baby, you do it so well You been so understanding, you been so good And I'm puttin' you through more than one ever should And I'm hating myself 'cause you don't want to Admit that it hurts you I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again Over him, mmh I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again 'Stead of ghostin' him We'll get through this, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with A whole lot of baggage But I love you, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with A whole lot of baggage, yeah Though I wish he were here instead Don't want that living in your head He just comes to visit me When I'm dreaming every now and then (And then) And after all that we been through (And after all that we been through) There's so much to look forward to What was done and what was said Leave it all here in this bed with you (With you) Baby, you do it so well You been so understanding, you been so good And I'm puttin' you through more than one ever should And I'm hating myself 'cause you don't want to Admit that it hurts you, baby I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again Over him, mmh I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again 'Stead of ghostin' him We'll get through this, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with A whole lot of baggage But I love you, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with A whole lot of baggage, yeah

all arianators is gangsta untill this song comes on

"He just comes to visit me when I'm dreaming every now and then." Such a powerful line that everybody who had experienced loss can relate to. This is her best song, so raw and exposed, you can feel her nerve endings.

I can't imagine how hard it was for Ariana to record this.

I’m so impressed that she was able to sing this, and sound so good like she wasn’t crying… I could never..

Whoever wrote this knew exactly how to break my heart tbh

here after Ariana's engagement :) Ariana Grande is the proof that hard phases will pass away. Happiness will get to you. No matter how awful it is now. Don't give up thank u Ariana for always being with us. You deserve the whole world

Mac and Ari are prime example of 'right person wrong time'

This song will forever hold a special place in my heart. I lost my little brother last August and this song has comforted me in ways I can not understand but I’m so thankful Ariana was able make a song that expresses how it feels losing someone you love so so much, you wish they would of saved themselves.

sounds like heaven, hurts like hell.

She’s so strong for writing this lyrics it made me in tears

everyone hates on Pete because they broke up But, Pete was always there for her even when she was trying to get over mac. Pete doesn’t deserve the hate he gets

One of her best songs.

*He just comes to visit me when im dreamin every now and then*

Nicki actually called Ariana every night for a long time to check if she was okay after Mac died, see girls this is a REAL friendship.

I just noticed you can hear Mac’s voice in the ending saying “I love you Ariana” at 4:01 😭 -you’ll have to put it up to your ear because it’s very very quiet or you can slow down the speed to 0.5x and put it up to your ear! You’ll hear it eventually ^^

“i know you hear me when I cry, i try to hold it in at night” is so powerful and I feel like it’s not talked about enough in the song (well my opinion) because most of us can relate on this, when we’re going through so much and we can’t help but let our tears out, even tears people can hear. they can hear our pain, how broken we are just by tears. it’s powerful and yet sad.

Gotta admit, this song got me teary eyed. I can't imagine the pain Ariana went through with Mac's death, on top of having people blame her for it, and then her break up with Pete. Her strength is incredible. Hang in there sweetie, we're all with you

Ariana: *no tear left to cry* Me: "listen to ghostin"

I always come back to this song when I feel broken again.

Ghostin is such a masterpiece wow

Her best album yet, raw and real and relatable.

This is probably one of the best songs she’s ever released in her entire career

coming back to listen to this after eternal sunshine is a different pain 😭 she deserves better she’s gone through so much

nothing can convince me that mac wasn’t her soulmate, man. i truly believe they would’ve found their ways back to one another eventually. this whole thing is a tragedy.

My boyfriend of 5 years just passed away 2 months ago. She’s been helping me so much through her music. You are an angel Ari.

this song gives me a slightly eerie, disturbed and deeply depressing vibe.

Let’s be grateful for her resilience and ability to move on. We all should learn from Ariana. She is a role model when it comes to facing adversity, from being exploited as a child to having lost her soulmate. Ariana is a powerful Tower of Strength.

“he just comes to visit me when i’m dreaming every now and then” 😢😢

am I the only one that loves the outro harmonies?! I see zero comments on how pretty they are

This song is about Mac Miller and Pete. I love how personal it is.. definitely the best single off the album

My soul is ascending, my body is vibrating, my existence is sending, my aura is rising.

Thank you for being brave enough to record and share this song with us.... it's beautiful and describes a situation with my spouse where he lost his love to death. It's been really hard for him, and I only imagine this is how he feels.

my heart is breaking about the fact they never got their happy ending

People that have felt/experienced loss know exactly what she's talking about.

I can’t imagine a world without ariana 😢🥹

this song will never not hurt me

Cried to this so badly

No, I DON'T want to know how sad it would be if there was a music video...

this song legit made me cry... you can feel the pain in her voice. no wonder why she struggles to sing it because it’s so personal for her

At the end, Ariana inserted into the background an audio phrase from Mac saying "I love you Ariana" which he once sent in her private messages. She deliberately drowned it out with effects so it couldn't be heard directly....listen closely at around 4:02. 😭😭😭😭

i don’t know why but i always listen to this song when i’m super anxious. i can’t explain why but there’s something so calming about it

When she sings Ghostin live, the world will know she is okay..

wish i could say thank u to Malcolm, cause he was an angel.

Loved this song for so long, so proud of Ariana for releasing this song. Just proves how strong she is as an individual. ❤🙏

I don't know about you guys but for me, one part of the harmony sounds like she's crying and wishing for one last hug to Mac.

"And I'm hating myself 'cause you don't want to Admit that it hurts you" Her voice :(

I can only imagine how many times she cried singing this song... Like dang, I can feel her pain through her words 😭

I heal through this song,through everything...

You just can’t get through this song without crying

So emotional and raw. Truly her best song yet. Beautiful.

Just alone for this song she deserved Album Of The Year as Billie said

Ariana is with Dalton, Pete is with Kim. I hope they both get happiness :)

This song is the best compensation for reality

She didn't even want to debut this on this album and recording it in the studio was so hard for her. She's been through so much and she still released it. This song deserves more recognition.

Ariana should make an album called “To Ari from Ari”

the fact that this was released on valentine's day

the tune for "one last time" at the end of this... tops everything off

imagine how hard it was for her to even sing it in the studio my heart goes out for her :((

She is so strong for recording this...

This breaks my heart all over again, after finding out about her divorce… 💔

when this album came out i was like 8 and now that im 15 (a bit older) i understand this song sm. especially how pete was there for her when mac passed and i jus think even tho her and pete aren’t together anymore i would be so grateful that she wrote such a sweet song abt him.

let’s cry together....

I was never a huge fan of Ariana before this album. Her talent was obvious but I'm a person that loves to connect with an album. This Queen gave us an album that gives me every emotion and she stripped herself bare for us within her words. If this album doesn't leave you shook, girl can't relate.

she is doing so well in her happiest era yet

3:25 i could just listen to this part for the rest of my life

there's something about this song. idk, it's just magical to me

*I think this might be her best song yet*

hits different when you are with a person but truly want your old person back

This song makes me feel bad for Pete. She was basically apologizing to him, for struggling with her ex’s death

"He just comes to visit me every night I'm dreaming" Hurts a lot...

A lot of people like to critic Ariana or Pete for their behavior through this relationship. But that's plain simple. They loved each other but Mac's death triggered something. And there was no going back with Mac's death, she couldn't love Pete freely anymore. Love is complicated I wish both of them a lot of happiness.

my fav ariana song ever

4:02 “I love you Ariana” 💔

one year, one year ago, an angel left the world. we miss you, angel 👼 Rest Easy Malcolm.

*This is literally the only song that makes me tear up.*

When I cry, I listen to this song🥺I love you Ariana ❤️ Thank you for saving me with your voice☁️

Essa música é uma verdadeira expressão de dor e luto. Foi uma verdadeira temática de emocional e sentimental para Ari, a música explora a dor de amar alguém profundamente, mas ainda sentir o peso da perda e da culpa. Eu vejo que os versos retratam a sensação de estar com outra pessoa, mas pensar em alguém do passado. Ari canta sobre como sua dor emocional afeta seu relacionamento atual (2019), referindo-se à pessoa com quem ela está como um "fantasma" em sua vida.

I remember watching Pete's interview with Charlamagne when he said that he knew things were done between them after Mac passed because he didn't see how their relationship wouldn't be forever tainted by that tragedy, but he was prepared to be there until she didn't want him around anymore. The entire situation was so sad for everyone involved and you can feel that in this song.

The raw pain and emotion makes this song more beautiful in a emotional way

I never realized how sad arianas songs are and I just started listening to her. One of my favorite artists now :')

this song will forever make me cry .
