Thought that I could somehow get the hang of the song meaning from my situation. It's about the decision of someone to leave the relationship after knowing it's no point in continuing that ('cause she's not good for him) The first 2 graphs tell about the present. Though he still feels bad but eager to start a new life without her, realizing a brighter path to follow (maybe a better girl?) & believes in the success "In a few weeks I will get time To realize it's right before my eyes And I can take it if it's what I want to do I am leaving This is starting to feel like It's right before my eyes And I can taste it It's my sweet beginning" Then he talks about the relationship between them. It's somewhat like a one-sided love because she took advantage of him just because she just didnt wanna be alone. "And I can tell just what you want You don't want to be alone Now he knows it, he doubts if she knew it in the first place (that she only wanted to have someone by her side) "And I can't say it's what you know" he talked to himself it was the bitter truth, she didnt love him, just used him. "But you've known it the whole time Yeah, you've known it the whole time" He doesnt wanna stay as the underdog any longer so he decided to be the one to leave the relationship first. He positively thinks about the future, he will be far away, busy with his new life & not care about her anymore (while she's likely to miss him) "Maybe next year I'll have no time To think about the questions to address Am I the one to try to stop the fire?" Lastly, he asks her to find a better one & tells her that he'll be fine. "I'm not the best you could have attained Why try anything? I will get there" "Just remember I know" is a bridge to the chorus... he wants to reminds her that he knows what she did to him. The repeated chorus is like one more time he blames her for using him for such a long time: Though it (she didnt love him) is "What she knows" but she kept silent and then hurt him so much. |
