This song isn't easy to understand, and I think it's almost impossible unless you can relate it to sonthing that has happened to you, personal experience. Basically, this is about how the guy is trying to let out his true feelings about something the girl has done that has upset him in the past. They have obviously tried to make things work, fix things, but it isnt working for him, he still feels pain because of what happened. "And this never will be right with me And now you're trying to desperately But I'm tongue-tied And terrified of what I'll say" What she has done, I think cheating on him, will "never be right with him", he can never forgive her, even though he is "trying desperately". Yet he pretends everything is ok, hides his true feelings, becuase he is "terrified if what he'll say". He dosn't want to lose her, he still loves her, but loving her is painful after what she did, he can't forgive it, no matter how desperately he tries. That also explains the line "but I never told you everything" - he never told her his true feelings on what she did to him. "And then we both go down together We may stay there forever I'll just try to get up And I'm sorry that this wasn't easy When I asked you Believe me You never let go But I let go " So they will "both go down together" or both be upset and scarred because of what she did, and they may carry on being together forever, and he will carry on trying to forgive her, and "get back up". He goes on to apologize for what it happening, how it isn't easy to live like this, have to ask her to break up even though he still loves her. The final line is saying that she wasn't the one who let go, it was him. Finally, the title, is referring to the pain this will cause her when she realises how much what she did effected him, how much it tore him apart inside, and caused him to hate loving her. He is saying he would hate to be her when she realises what she has done to him. |
