What a great song. It sums up a relationship I just left absolutely perfectly, eerily well in fact. To me, it's about one person in a relationship giving everything they have to make the relationship work, convincing themselves along the way that the partner is completely worth the amount they've given up for them and that they'll never find anyone better. Then the other person ends the relationship, making the person who had put everything on the line feel like a fool and start to doubt themselves, because they still love that person. "Goodnight my love, you seemed so nice 'til I knew you better Now I can tell you're always thinking twice about what might be better On the outside, there's no conscience, you're a victim of your cautiousness You don't try, you just lie there hoping that someone will come to make it right " Those lines to me hint that the partner had commitment issues and personal problems that she thought would be fixed by someone else, and so she doesn't (or didn't) try in the relationship. The singer is looking back bitterly at a fact that was always there but he didn't choose to acknowledge. |
