Everybody I think interprets this into their own situation. Mine? A few months ago, a girl, whom I think is the first I've ever loved, separated. It's a long story, but what happened was I met her my freshman year of high school, really started liking her my sophomore year, but she was homeschooled. My junior year, I was absolutely crazy about her, and let her know how much I liked her and that I wanted to be her boyfriend. She shot me down with a "I don't date. I hate relationships." The reality of the situation was that she was with my good friend, and had been for a few months before I asked her out. They broke up, and she told me that she still liked me a lot, but wanted to wait before she went into a relationship. Again, she was dating a friend of mine. He turned into a dick and she couldn't do it anymore, so she came running to me. And stupidly, I took her back. I was head-over-heels, in love with her. Nothing could make me love her less. I still loved her after all of this. A few months later, she left me because she needed to fix things with herself, but "still wanted to try." Well yesterday, I found out she is with the the guy she was with before me.
This song has been on loop for almost 24 hours. Here's how I see this song. A guy fell in love with his best friend. It didn't work, and he blames himself fully for it. It's over, but he won't stop trying to be there for her, maybe in hopes that he will get her back, even though he is almost certain that he won't. In a way, he's addicted to her, or even her attention. He was so in love with her that she has changed how he sees everyday life, and has even changed what he wants to do with his life. They were friends, lovers, and maybe at this point, he has realized that she isn't interested, and that he isn't going to stop loving her as long as she's part of his life. As much as this kills him inside, he realizes that he needs to erase her from his life. Even though everything that reminds him of her is gone, he still "holds her hand in his." Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend. You have been the one for me. |
