This song is about a friendship ending, even though they fought to keep it alive, and needing to move on. "I see your face in my mind as I drive away, 'Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way People are people, And sometimes we change our minds But it's killing me to see you go after all this time" It's tearing you apart to have to end things. You had never thought it would come to this, but 'people are people' and things happen. "Music starts playin' like the end of a sad movie, It's the kinda ending you don't really wanna see 'Cause it's tragedy and it'll only bring you down, Now I don't know what to be without you around" It's very painful and emotional- breaking off a friendship is the kind of situation you never want to happen in life as it seems to only bring hurt. Without this friend in your life you don't know what to do, you're feeling like you lost a piece of yourself "And we know it's never simple, Never easy Never a clean break, no one here to save me You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand" You know life is never simple, friendships never easy. Things never end tidily. The line 'no one here to save me' really hits home for me. When you're going through a breakdown of a friendship it can feel like there is no one there for you anymore, no one to get you out of this mess or to support you through it because no one cares or understands. "You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand" once again rings true to that feeling of being lost- you don't know what to do because you've depended on this person for so long and now you feel like you're being left to fend for yourself. "And I can't, Breathe, Without you, But I have to, Breathe, Without you, But I have to" Losing this person is so so so painful. But you know you need to move on from this, even though it's killing you. "Never wanted this, never wanna see you hurt Every little bump in the road I tried to swerve People are people, And sometimes it doesn't work out, Nothing we say is gonna save us from the fall out" You cared about this person, you never wanted things to end. You tried so hard to dodge every little bit of conflict or problem. But 'people are people and sometimes it doesn't work out.' It was inevitable, there was nothing you could do to stop it from ending this way. "And we know it's never simple, Never easy Never a clean break, no one here to save me You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand" "And I can't, Breathe, Without you, But I have to, Breathe, Without you, But I have to" "It's two am Feelin' like I just lost a friend Hope you know it's not easy, Easy for me" You're unable to sleep, this is really hard for you and you wish they could know that. "It's two am Feelin' like I just lost a friend Hope you know this ain't easy, Easy for me" "And we know it's never simple, Never easy Never a clean break, no one here to save me" "I can't, Breathe, Without you, But I have to, Breathe, Without you, But I have to" "Breathe, Without you, But I have to" "Sorry (oh) sorry Sorry sorry Sorry sorry" You don't want to move on, but you have to, you're sorry to this friend for everything that's happened, that it is over and that your moving on... But there's nothing else you can do. To all those people who are going through things like this- I'm so sorry. I know it hurts, but sometimes we need to move on to let things get better so we can finally breathe again. You are worth it. <3 |

Im fairly sure this song is about a boyfriend...but for me, this song is about a close friendship which is nearing it's end, and the reality has only just hit you that this is it. "You and I walk a fragile line I have known it all this time But I never thought I'd live to see it break" You can feel the atmosphere dying around you, and all trust for that friend is seeping away. The friend seems to think that this was all some sort of mistake, and maybe is brushing it off as such. "It's getting dark and its all too quiet And I can't trust anything now And its comin' over you like its all a big mistake" You can feel it coming to an end, and your bracing yourself... you don't want this to happen, you don't want to lose this person. But the friend no longer cares about you and there's nothing you can do about it. "Holding my breath, won't lose you again Something's made your eyes go cold" For me the chorus is an emotional cry of desperation. You're begging and praying that this friend won't leave things like this, but they aren't putting any effort in to save this friendship. You had thought you were going okay and suddenly everything went wrong. All you had wanted was for this friendship to flourish. Whenever this friend is gone, you hurt so bad you can't function. But now that the end of this has begun, you know you can't go back. You're haunted by past memories and dreams, stuck in this new reality. "Come on, come on don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Something's gone terribly wrong, you're all I wanted Come on, come on don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Can't breathe whenever you're gone Can't turn back, now I'm haunted" All you can do is stand and watch as this friend leaves. And it hurts because you gave everything to be an honest and good friend to that person, and it wasn't enough. *I know the original lyrics say he, but for my interpretation I made it they :) There will be other people in your life, friends who will try to make you happy and forget the pain caused by this. And they may succeed for a little bit, but in the end no one seems to be able to fill this void in your life. "Stood there and watched you walk away From everything we had But I still mean every word I said to you [They] will try to take away my pain And [they] just might make me smile But the whole time I'm wishin' [they were] you instead Oh, oh, holding my breath, won't see you again Something keeps me holding on to nothing" You're in denial, you don't want this to be happening. "I know, I know, I just know You're not gone, you can't be gone No" It feels so sudden, like this friend won't even end things properly... You don't feel like there is any closure to come from this. It feels like a gaping wound that will never heal. "Come on, come on don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Something's gone terribly wrong, won't finish what you started Come on, come on don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Can't breathe whenever you're gone Can't go back, I'm haunted" In hindsight you knew things were fragile, but you were too naive to see that it would end so soon and it's tearing you apart. "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh You and I walk a fragile line I have known it all this time Never ever thought I'd see it break Never thought I'd see it" This is what this song means to me, I guess I've been facing something similar... where I feel like I'm losing close friends and I'm desperately trying to stop it from happening, but it feels inevitable. And they don't seem to care anymore. It's a hard place, and for any of you people facing anything similar, I just want you to know that though sometimes things don't go the way we plan that doesn't mean you aren't worth it... you are good enough, and you are amazing, and no one can change that. <3 |
