I see all these long replies on here but I'm going to keep it short and sweet as to what this song means to me. It's about someone falling in love with a girl, and they might not even be dating. But the guy realizes the girl wants someone else other than him. Whenever they aren't together, he thinks she's with another guy and it drives him mad with grief and there's nothing he can do about it even if he tells her because she doesn't want him back. So sad yet such a powerful song. <3 |

It's scary how much this song applies to my situation. I'm in love with my best friend of two years, and even though it's young love, I do know it's true. We've always spent every waking moment together until recently because he's made a new good guy friend and it seems like he's slowly forgetting about me sometimes. But then he comes back and wants to hang out some more luckily. We've had sleepovers and our parents don't even have anything wrong with it. We've stayed up all night watching movies and talking until 6:30 am. When dawn came, he made breakfast for us and we went to his house and fell asleep at 9 am, then spent the rest of that day together. We constantly argue, but 10 minutes later we're laughing ourselves to tears. The thing is, I don't think he knows how in love with him I am because I'm so afraid to let it show because I could lose him. He hasn't had a girlfriend in a while, but when he does, it's always the tramp kind that has nothing in common with him and ends up screwing him over or smothering him. When he flirts with girls sometimes in front of me, it hurts so much, but I still smile for him anyways. When those girls are rude to me when he's not around, I still don't say anything because I don't want him to catch on that I'm jealous. All I know is, no one could possibly feel the way I do for him and even though he's not mine, I never want to lose him. <3 |

My take on it is sort of similar to yours, but in other ways, not really. Ah well, I'll still post it. :P "You can't fight the tears that ain't coming," Could apply to the person rejecting the singer. The singer wants her to feel the same wave of emotion he feels, but she doesn't, so she can't fight any tears that aren't coming. "Or the moment of truth in your lies." To me, it means you lie saying you're gonna be alright. The moment of truth is that you really want to be okay, but the lie is that you're going to be. "When everything feels like the movies," Movies can be fictional/unreal, therefore he's feeling so much that it can't be real. "And you bleed just to know you're alive." Most powerful line of the stanza. It could apply to the line before it where he feels so much that he feels numb, and he could feel the need to cut or self harm just to feel alive rather than how his overwhelming emotions make him feel (dead.) |

I've seen a lot of comments posted about how this song reminds you of breakups, but it relates to me on a whole different level. I've dealt with depression, and because of this, I pushed all my former best friends away last year and I didn't even mean to. But over time I realized they had just stopped calling and asking me to hang out with them. So I became very, very lonely. Being alone a lot of the time changed me. I used to be a complete people person. I can't even remember how I did it, but I talked to everyone and people enjoyed being around me and I always had a smile on my face. I think I got depressed in the first place because I became so so sooo insecure about myself. 'Cause I'm not exactly the skinniest girl there is, and my friends liked to joke about my nose all the time and they teased me about it being bigger than theirs and not pretty and perfect. Anyways, the song just reminds me of how I feel inside. I sometimes wish I had more people to talk to, who would understand. But over all I don't want anyone to see my feelings because they really just couldn't comprehend them. But, I do have a best friend right now who I do want to understand. We spend usually every waking moment together. And I wish I could describe to him that I don't like being dreary and tired and sad all the time. I used to be able to show everyone who I really was. Happy and creative and lively and musical. But the hard part of it all is that he doesn't understand how depressed I am in the first place and I really just do want him to know who I am. It breaks my heart that he can't. Sometimes at night, when I get the most upset, I can't even cry. You get so upset that you just go numb. That's what I think the line "Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive" applies to. Because (even though I don't cut) cutters must feel the same numbness, and it's like feeling dead. So they have to prove to themself that they still feel alive because they can feel physical pain by cutting. Well, that was a really dreary post. Sorry if I put a cloud over anyone's head. :| Buuut, that's my comprehension of it. Beautifully melancholy song. |
