Dave Matthews Band – #41 Lyrics 13 years ago
To me this about a man who is trying to overcome his own demons while living with regret of what happened to a relationship in the past. He's come to the realization of what he did and is running towards her wanting to take some her pain away now. He's hoping she'll take that chance with him even though the odds are stacked against them. He's telling her not to worry about him - his feelings, he's strong enough now that if things don't work out he'll be okay. He can't tell her to do the same and take that chance, but no matter what he knows he'll be okay because he has grown as a person. All the memories, good and bad come back and he reaches out to her and tries to help, but also knowing he's in part a source of the pain she has. He's telling her that he meant well in their previous relationship and only wanted to make her happy but he knows that's not what happened. He can't pass by this possible second chance they have and wants her to live in the moment, but she can't.

Damien Rice – Delicate Lyrics 13 years ago
They once had a special, intense love that no one else could possibly understand. Due to life's circumstances, they separated but later were drawn back to each other again. They aren't scared, it's just that it's a tragic love that deep inside they both know has nowhere left to go. Yet although they know this, one of them really wants to believe that maybe this time it will be different. Against all better judgement they live in that fleeting moment really loving each other and making love in a place that is sacred and special to only them. But reality steps back in and they have to part. The person who attempted to lie to themselves and believe it could be different this time around is yes, almost yelling and blaming the other for making them believe it could work. But by the end of the song and he is really alone with his thoughts, he knows that he can only blame himself for getting his hopes up. It's just a tragic situation and they both loved the best they could but now it's really over.
