In general, it says "You left me because you're a coward and that's okay, but I'll always remember you."

Damien Rice – Rootless Tree Lyrics 11 years ago
What I want from this is learn to let go
- He wants to forget and move on

No not of you, of all that's been told
- But not from his (ex)-lover, but from her lies and mean words. Because heartless words stay

That's how I define it from my point of view.

Mew – 156 Lyrics 11 years ago
Oh, one more...

"You can run away
leave your books behind you"

I think it's a way to say "You can leave and forget all the things that have happened between us."

Mew – 156 Lyrics 11 years ago
I think this is a song about someone who in love with a girl, but at the same time he's pitying that girl. Or maybe hate the girl?
Then she took advantage from this girl.
Realizing it, the girl then left without saying good bye. Which make the guy both angry and sad.

"You can run away
leave your books behind you
but you should look back twice
just to be on the safe side"

He's trying to say "You can leave but be careful, you might regret it." Not like he's trying to threatening her, but to remind her that she might regret the loss of the guy. In other way, the guy secretly wanted her to think twice before leave.

"you are just like an avalanche
cold as I might have guessed
but at least I am covered up for now"

He feels anger toward the girl, he blames the girl. And he's trying to say that he doesn't really care.

"In a big, big way
I am really small
I get off my feet
But i'm still distant"

He feel regret and small, he's trying to get over it but it's still a long way to go.

"Don't you just love goodbyes?"

A cynical comment about their break up. He's laughing in pain at his own break up.

"Most of our lives we try so hard
to find the time
I won't care for you
like I'm really supposed to
there are things I'll do
that could really hurt you"

I don't really understand it. But i think he's trying to pretend that he's strong and don't care about her. He tries to show her that he's actually the one who left her because he's dangerous.

Or, he let her go because he knows though he loves her, if they still together he would still taking advantage from her and would hurt her more than this.
