Like many others before me, this song has special meaning to me and I think it captures exactly what I'm going through right now; So hopefully it resonates with others and we can share together what this songs means to us. I'm 24 and I fell in love with someone 3 years ago, but we were never meant to be. This person never loved me the way I did them and we never really had a chance. I gave everything, and I'm sure they saw me hurting, but they never did anything. And finally after 3 years of struggling and wanting to move on, I sat down, collected my thoughts, and decided I will move on for myself. And so I'm leaving across the country, a plan I set in motion a long time ago so I could get away from this. And now it's the last time I will get a chance to talk to them. Looking back, I realized I'm young and still learning to love, that I thought it was all meaningful, but now know that I am in fact small. And now I feel that I've failed. I'm sorry "I couldn't get to you"; So I've swallowed my pride and am now saying goodbye, even though I would've followed this person as far as I could go. But the ultimate meaning of this song to me, and I hope to others, is that even though I'm giving up on this person, on "us". I wish with every fiber of my body that you would say something. Anything to give me hope again. Even though I know I'm tired of it all, my heart still wants wants them. I know it will get better, but right now I'm facing that fact that I've given up, along with the pain in wishing that this person would just say something to make it all better. But I know they won't. |

I've always loved this song and I love the fact that I can return to it years after first hearing it and it can still be so meaningful to me in a completely different way. I'll offer my interpretation as it applies to me, but I encourage you to find it's own meaning for you. I hope my interpretation resonates with your own as well: The song tome is about a past love. Someone you were never able to express your feelings to, a close friend you fell in love with. Someone you've never let go of, but have maybe moved on from in your life. What if there was no lie? What if you never hid your feelings and kept your relationship as strictly friends/acquaintances? Nothing wrong and nothing right (your relationship was neutral). What if I got it wrong? What if I shouldn't have moved on because I thought it was the best thing to do? And now there's nothing I can do to get you back (no poem or song, could put right what I got wrong). The song offers hope. Put your doubts aside, your fears, your regrets. Take a breath and leave them be. You can't know until you try. And if you have the opportunity, then take it. But the doubt returns in the end of the song. What if? That's the question. What if you take that chance and you fail. And the person doesn't want you in their life? What if, by trying to right the wrongs, you shatter even the friendship you have or once had - effectively tarnishing the memories you hold onto. Then the last words ring once again. "How can you know when you don't even try?" I have the opportunity soon to reach out to someone I once loved so dearly, but could never tell. I've decided to take the chance. I don't expect my admission of feelings to be returned in any way. But I do expect the "what ifs" that haunt me to go away. A reminder to those that stop by to read these words: In the end you always regret your inactions more than you actions. I hope these words give this song more meaning to you and help you deal with your own problems as well. |
