This song is breathtaking, I can relate to every word. Some comments/explanations for people who want them: “How many times will let you me change my mind and turn around? I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown.” Somebody being reluctant in a relationship, often backing out of commitment for fear of being hurt. Not knowing the capacity of the person's love, trust and patience. Being undecided about whether one will drown in indecision and lose the loved one or whether she can overcome her fear of commitment/getting hurt/etc. “I hope that you see right through my walls I hope that you catch me cause I'm already falling” I hope that you can tell what I'm thinking and why I'm hesitant, rather than getting fed up with me and ending the relationship. I hope that you can see who I really am. I'm already struggling personally so I hope you can and will help. I'm already falling/fallen for you. “The world is coming down on me and I can't find a reason to be loved I never wanna leave you but I can't make you bleed if I'm alone” Everything is going wrong and I don't think you'll love me any longer. This whole deal is making me feel bad and I wonder if we should end it. I love you, I never want to leave you. I keep hurting you because I am scared. I don't understand why you love me, when you could just leave. I love you so much i can't leave, and if I did, I couldn't hurt you and that would be two losses. “I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth and I've never opened up I've never truly loved Til you put your arms around and I believe that it's easier for you to let me go” I tried for you to never see how much I loved and needed you, who I really was and who I wanted us to be. I have never loved until I met you and until i realised how insecure I was about the whole idea of love and attachment. |

| Took me forever to figure out that it was about two different guys! I'm so slow. I love it, about what should or could be, what is safe and nice and fairytale, versus what the heart wants. Fantastic. | |

Yeah, I see what you mean! I didn't notice that, thanks! I thought it was about Camilla Belle, and her relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal. But now, I did some research and it turns out, Camilla dated Joe Jonas shortly after Taylor did, then got quite close to Jake just after he and Taylor ended things. Wow! |

This song... yes, it's about lack of closure, about being 'left hanging' and about not being able to let somebody go. But mostly, I think it's about mind games. Maybe, I'm making something more serious out of an innocent love song, but that's how I see it. If you take the chorus: Come on, come on, don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Something's gone terribly wrong, you're all I wanted Come on, come on, don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Can't breathe whenever you're gone Can't turn back now I'm haunted. The reason I don't interpret this song as being dumped, or left hanging, or simply being 'tricked' (like forever and always) is because the song seems to have a feeling of repetition and being trapped. Being led to believe that someone loves you, then having your heart broken by them, then them saying they were 'sorry' and then getting back with you and breaking your heart again... like I said, maybe it's a little far-fetched. Consider the first verse: You and I walk a fragile line - I believe referring to a person's tendency to 'snap'. I have known it all this time, but I never thought I'd live to see it break - talking about the end of the relationship. It's getting dark and it's all too quiet and I can't trust anything now - feelings of hopelessness at the endless cycle. And it's coming over you like it's all a big mistake - like it's happening again, and again. You see what I'm getting at? Stood there watched you walk away from everything we had - either one of many 'ends' or the actual finish. But I still mean every word I say to you - this is easy, "I still love you." He will try to take away my pain, and he just might make me smile But the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead - nobody compares to this particular person. Oh, holding my breath, won't lose you again - can't let somebody go Something keeps me holding on to nothing - there is nothing left of them, but she is holding onto the memory. Maybe I'm seeing it the way I want to, I could well be influenced by personal experience. But it's something to think about. And as for who it's about in particular, well, I don't know. Lots of speculation about Jake Gyllenhaal (or whatever his name is) and about Taylor Lautner, but I don't think it can really be about either of them. The end of Gyllenhaal was only a couple of days before album release (impossible) and the song doesn't really describe what happened with Tay (Back to December). So I don't know. It's possible that it's about Joe Jonas, but it's been a while! So I don't know. |
