Man, I'm such a cheeseball. This song gets me every time. Clearly it's about a guy loving someone so much, but they are unable to make it work. So, he gives them up and goes on with his life, but he never stops loving them. Heartbreaking.
I think some of the lyrics here are incorrect though. In the second verse, I'm thinking it should be "Give it all and then I'd give some more / If you would only love me like you had before". Then in the bridge it should be "Then you both realize just how foolish you've been / And you try to make amends". Then, I'm not sure. I don't think "But you're pulling all the strings" is right. Doesn't sound like that to me and doesn't really fit. I've seen on other sites that it's "But you're better off as friends." But I always thought it was something like, "But you crumble under the stress." Who knows? It's still a great song.
