I see this as a story between a married man and a woman that he has fallen in love with. The love is true and strong but he can't leave his family so ultimately he can't make her happy and he wants her to have more than he can give her. She loves him even though he can't leave. She can't imagine her life without her soulmate even if that means a hidden relationship. "How am I supposed to feel?" "You strike at my achilles heel" "with everything that's wrong I can't make right" I'm not sure how you expect me to feel when I can't change what hurts you so much. "If I wait another hundred years" "the whispers set against the tears" "I'm never gonna be that shining knight" It doesn't matter how long this contines and what we tell each other I can't be the person you need me to be. "I find it hard to be down in this hole" "Now I find myself walking down a hard road" I don't want to do this but I have to do something. We can't continue this way. "If I can't say it" "If I can't say goodbye" "I know you never will" "Now I'm waiting for that setting sun" "to burn me down the day I'm done" "and spread my ashes out along the beach" "But I find these days are pretty long" "This war with you goes on and on" "And I love you as I'm lying through my teeth" I can't keep going on this way. I'm tired of what we are doing here. It needs to end so that you can be free and we stop hurting this way. You aren't going to stop fighting against this. Even though I love you I am going to have to say things I don't mean. I find it hard to be up on this wall Now I find myself trying to make a hard call I have made a decision that I didn't want to make "If I can't say it" "I can't say goodbye" "I know you never will" And twenty years of hell will rain down upon us Like frogs upon the pharoahs I have to say goodbye If I don't stop this. If I don't say good-bye to you then you will stay in this relationship that neither of us can win. Twenty years will go by nothing will change and we will continue to want what neither of us can have. It would be cursing you to not having a chance at happiness unless I tell you I can't be with you anymore. |

Someone recently sat me down and asked me to listen to this song. It was what he wanted to say to me. My interpretation is that the versus are him talking to himself. He can't live up to his own dreams. He doesn't think he can get past all the mistakes he thinks he has made in his past. He acts stong and brave but he realizes that he really is standing on a pile of rubble of what his life has turned into. The chorus is talking to a woman. He didn't mean to break her heart but he did. He blames himself for hurting her whether it is his fault or not he takes all the blame. I don't think it is sarcastic at all. He is very sincere. It is so full of raw emotion. Tears your heart out and makes you want to fix things for him. |
