I have a different interpretation of this song regarding being the other woman. "I don't know what I've done Or if I like what I've begun" -I feel like this girl is realizing she deserves more than she is in or regretting being in an affair. "But something told me to run And honey you know me it's all or none There were sounds in my head LIttle voices whispering That I should go and this should end Oh and I found myself listening" - She knows she doesnt want to be the other woman but the only woman in this mans life, but she knows that this relationship was not going in that direction. She realizes she needs to end this affair and she did. "'Cos I dont know who I am, who I am without you All I know is that I should And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you All I know is that I should" -She has lost her self in this affair and has given her heart and soul to this man. She loves him so much it hurts her to know he will be with his wife but knows she should let it go. "Cos she will love you more than I could She who dares to stand where I stood" -She knows that his wife will be the only one that could ever love him fully and show her emotion in public unlike she could. This angers her realizing that his wife will be the only one his heart will pertain to. "See I thought love was black and white That it was wrong or it was right But you ain't leaving without a fight And I think I am just as torn inside" -She thought love was black or white in the sense that she thought a man could only love one person and not two...either loving someone completely not needing a mistress or not loving them at all. She thought that love was right or wrong...loving someone that was available and single and not the wrong way by loving someone who is married. But this affair contradicted the way she viewed love. The man loves her and doesnt want her out of his life and she know she loves him so much her heart hurts because she is torn because she loves him and doesnt want to leave him but knows she needs to leave him and stop destroying herself in this fantasy. "And I won't be far from where you are if ever you should call You meant more to me than anyone I ever loved at all But you taught me how to trust myself and so I say to you This is what I have to do" -She knows he is her best friend and she will always be there for him. This was either her first real true love or her soulmate. She loved him so much he broke her wall and this was the first person she trusted fully, but she knows she has to trust her instinct and leave. She knows she will never forget him because this was her true soulmate and love but not in these circumstances. She has learned to trust with his help and enough to know to trust herself and her choices to leave because the right thing isnt always the easiest. |
