I love this song. It's so beautiful and simple and sad. The lyrics are just gorgeous. I think this song is about the end of a relationship. I think it's like when you've been a relationship for a long time, you've passed that honeymoon stage and things are just not working out, through no fault of your own, or his. You love each other, you love him so much but at the same time, you blame him, for not trying harder, for not making it work. You know it's better if he goes. They are probably arguing a lot, they know each other really well, they know how to push each others buttons, things are getting messy and they just can't get passed this stage 'Leave me at the altar, Knowing all the things you just escaped' Maybe he'll be better off without you. Maybe he didn't even want to be with you in the first place, not in the same way you did and you have given your all, everything, there is nothing left and you feel like he could have tried harder, he could have given more because now you are empty. There is nothing left. 'Throw me in the landfill, Don't think about the consequences' It was probably his decision, 'Don't think about the choices that you make' but he still loves her too and he is sad about the end, he just thinks this is the right decision now even though it's painful. 'Leave me on the tracks To wait until the morning train arrives Don't you dare look back Walk away, catch up with the sunrise' she has accepted that this relationship has come to a close. That doesn't stop her loving him with all her heart, and she probably thinks if this was different, or that then maybe it would have worked. It doesn't stop her being angry that he's leaving her, that it didn't work out, and the relationship is done. Relationships are hard. 'And this is dangerous 'cause I want you so much But I hate your guts I want you so much But I hate your guts' They both know this is the right decision, that doesn't make it any easier, or any less painful. |
