I think this song, as for many people who had also commented here, brings up too much about my current situation. I'd been dating with a guy for about 6months, and when we completed 2 months together, he told me he has a girlfriend (who lives with him, and they have been together for 7 years! ). This explains too much his excuses about going out or spending the weekend together. Anyway, the fact is: i love him for real and he says he does as well, but he cant break up with her because she needs him (she is blind). Well, i had tried to get used to this situation even knowing it is completly wrong, but just because i love him. We had argued a lot because this situation is too difficult to me, and so, i broke up with him several times, but he always came back asking me to forgive him and that he was going to solve his/our situation. But obviously he never did. So i got sick of it and broke up with him for good. A few days ago he sent me a message saying he wanted to meet me to talk about us, about things, and just to see me. And here comes the song: we met into the entrance of sao paulo's tube, and all the things Duffy sings at the song match completely with what happened to me. ''When I get to Warwick Avenue Meet me by the entrance of the tube We can talk things over a little time But promise me you won't step outta line'' We've met on the entrance of the tube. He wanted to talk things for a while. I agreed to, even being a little bit reluctant. And i just went there when he said he' d just talk about random things, would not try to do anything else or get me back. It was pretty difficult, because i still love him as hell... ''When I get to Warwick Avenue Please drop the past and be true Don't think we're OK just because I'm here You hurt me bad but I won't shed a tear'' I had asked him to not talk about us, our relationship and not to lie anymore. What passed, has passed. I made sure we were not good, not ok, just because i agreed meeting him. I was (and still am) hurt, but i am tired of crying. ''I'm leaving you for the last time baby You think you're loving but you don't love me I've been confused outta' my mind lately You think you're loving but I want to be free Baby you hurt me'' As we were talking about daily things as our jobs, family and stuff, he tried to get me back. I could just tell him that was the last time we were going to meet again. That was the last time. He claimed he loves me, but it is obvious he doesnt. If he loved me, he would have told me the truth, would have solve his situation with his girlfriend. He asked me to wait him for a while, that he would break up with her and be only with me. But he said it before. I said i couldnt wait any longer, and i needed to be free from him. He had hurted me over and over again. It wouldnt change. ''When I get to Warwick Avenue oh We'll spend an hour but no more than two Our only chance to speak once more I showed you the answers now here's the door'' As i said, we had this meeting for a little time, but i had showed him the answer and my position at the situation. So he couldnt do anything about it. ''All the days spent together, I wish for better But I didn't want the train to come, now it's departed I'm broken hearted, seems like we never started. All those things here together, when I wished for better And I didn't want the train to come'' All the time we had spent together were amazing and i didnt want the train to come (i didnt want to leave... i didnt want to finish our time together). Now it is departed, its gone, its finished. Seems like we didnt even had started all of it... It is important to say that i still love him too much. TOO MUCH. But i had to do it to be free, to be happy, to move on. I couldnt stand that situation anymore. It all may sound selfish from me, but im also a human being, i have feelings, i have dreams. And i couldnt be happy with him in that way... I still cry everynight, i still have intense feelings for him, but im being selfish to get my happiness, is it that bad? Duffy touched my heart and soul with this music. And it helps me to get through this situation knowing it is completly ok to cry on giving up on a loving relationship. |

In my opinion, this song is about a girl who misses her ex-boyfriend (I had doubts about the name Amber Lee being male or female, because here in Brazil it can be both). Anyways, here it is: "I don't hang around that place no more I'm tired of wearing circles in the floor And I don't carry myself very well But I've gotten so much braver, Can you tell?" In this part, she says she doesn't hang around the places they used to hang together (maybe she didn't want to remember all the things that happened in those places). She's tired of doing the same thing there and remembering all their past together. She had always been afraid of doing things by her own, or she was too young when they were together, but now that it had happened a long time ago (or a short time that made she grow up), she's feeling braver, and doing things that she didn't use to. And the ex could realize it, "Can you tell?" "I'm happy, can't you see? I'm all right, but I miss you, Amber lee" Here, I think that she's lying, trying to convince herself that she is happy (like when we say we're okay, even though we're not). She's "happy", but something is missing (or somebody, in this case, Amber Lee). She would be truly happy if Amber Lee were with her. "And I lined my secrets up all one by one I put em all away when I was done And I would really love to hear your voice sometime To close a little distance in my mind" In this part, I think she thought about all the things they had, they did, they felt together, and held it in her mind when she was done on remembering all of them. I feel that one part of her is trying to convince herself (again) that she'll never think about them again. But the other part wants to hear the voice of Amber Lee again, to be with him/her again, because when she was remembering all the "secrets", she started missing those times with Amber. "I'm happy, can't you see? I'm all right, but I miss you, Amber Lee" Same thing as the other. "Where have you been all these years? And how could you just disappear? And when did you stop missing me?" Here I have two interpretations. The first: She met Amber and asked all these questions. The second: She didn't meet him/her and is wondering all these things, trying to find the reason of why he/she left, where he/she have been, and when he/she stop missing her. "I'm happy, can't you see? I'm all right, but I miss you, Amber Lee I'm all right, but I miss you, Amber Lee" Same thing. Orrrrrr, She and Amber Lee met each other after a long time, and she wants to look like she's fine, she's braver, and she doesn't care. But after being with Amber, all her feelings came back, and she starts wondering why they broke up, and she knows that she always missed Amber. I'm sorry about the English mistakes :/ |
