Been really down lately. This song doesn't help me lift my spirits, but it helps me get a cry out. Lately I've been thinking about my ex cuz I keep seeing his posts. I don't wanna be that asshole that unfriends someone but it hurt so much seeing him with his current gf, especially because I have a good feeling that she's the reason why I lost my connection with him and lead to our breakup.
I currently go to college and at the time of the breakup, he called me to break up with me because I was in a different city 600-something miles away. He told me that he wanted to focus on his last year of high school and his extracurriculars, and having a relationship was too much. I understood that but it never made sense to me because we had been together for two years, the first year being my last year in highschool, the second being me going to college. We were three months after our 2nd anniversary when the breakup happened. When he told me he wanted to breakup, I told him I understood, and kinda just let it happen, the main reason being, I didn't want to be the reason why he didn't do well in school, especially since it is important for college next year. He told me we could still be friends, and I really hoped we would because he was the closest friend I had.
The day after, we had awkward chats and such, a couple mutual friends checked up on me, but we were already acting like we barely knew each other. After that, I never got a response from him, aside from a dry one. Tried to at least be like "hey did you see that cool video that came out?" or "dude! So and so did this thing today?" But I got nothing. So I gave up after a week.
The reason why I say his current girlfriend might've been the reason behind our breakup is because I started losing connection with him 6 months before our breakup. After I went to college, it was hard for us to connect because I was so far but we tried our best to keep in touch and cherished what time we had when I was home. Or at least I did. 6 months before our breakup, he started getting closer to two friends, one being his current gf and the other being another girl (mutual friends, but I was never close to them). When I came home for my summer break, it was hard for me to find time to meetup with him because I had a part time job, so he'd often hang out with them whenever.
I started seeing myself getting distanced when one day he was stressed as hell about something and I asked him about it if I could help him out somehow, and he said "it's okay, I can just talk to (current gf) about it." I didn't understand why because we had told each other almost everything, and if we didn't understand, we'd explain. When I left for college again in the new semester, i only saw posts of him hanging out with her and the other friend. I would talk to him once a day, if that, and if we did, it was brief and not really anything like it used to be. You could almost say that I saw our breakup coming because he didn't talk to me at all the day before he called me.
I found out later on that they started dating two months after he broke up with me. I understood that they could be a better couple than I could've ever been with him, but it hurt so much because he broke up with me saying he didn't want to worry about a relationship on top of school. So to find out he started dating again, while still in his last year or school, it's a barbed arrow that still being pulled out.

I've been wanting and trying to let go of this and him. It's been about 8 months now? and I'm still crying and my heart still physically aches when I see or hear about him. I want to fucking move on and I thought I did months ago, but I saw a couple posts on social media and I feel like I'm hurting more now than I did a month after the breakup. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've tried everything.

If anyone can tell me how to get over someone and get over the heartache, I'd greatly appreciate it. Even if someone reads this months later, please tell me, because at this rate, I'll probably still be hurting
I'm more than ready to let go of this. I just don't know what's stopping me or what I'm doing wrong.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before we say goodbye, let go
But I'm lost in the maze of my heart
From stereo to mono
That's how the path splits

If my fate is to disappear like this,
Then this is my last letter
Penned words, written then erased
Feelings for you, so many to let go
Unpuzzle my Lego
At a level where it can't return to its original shape
So be it. Don't cry
I'mma let you go and fly

Hectic days, keeping myself busy
Distraction filled schedule
But I won't forget
Burned into the back of my mind like tattoo
We can't return to those days
If I could, I'd call your name
No... but I'll accept your blame
It really is time to say goodbye

Before we say goodbye, let go
But I'm lost in the maze of my heart
From stereo to mono
That's how the path splits
It continues

In order to release your hand right now
I gotta let you know that I need to let you go
Hard to say goodbye
But I can't run
I'm ready to let go
I'm ready to let go
I'm ready to let go

What have you been up to lately?
Who are you thinking of so far away?
Life without you is really unbelievable
But even so I still gotta go
To the person I loved too much
To the red thread that got too entangled in itself
I couldn't reach you, so I'll walk a separate path
For that reason I'll say goodbye

At first every day is like that
Beyond the tears hidden in the rain
I'll wait for you, let's start over
So that in the future
I can meet you again with a smile

In order to release your hand right now
I gotta let you know that I need to let you go
Hard to say goodbye
But I can't run
I'm ready to let go
I'm ready to let go
I'm ready to let go

The color of the sky we saw together
The scent of the path we walked down together
Don't forget them

In order to release your hand right now
I gotta let you know that I need to let you go
Hard to say goodbye
But I can't run
I'm ready to let go
I'm ready to let go
I'm ready to let go
