This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
There's no need to argue anymore
I gave all I could, but it left me so sore
And the thing that makes me mad
Is the one thing that I had
I knew, I knew
I'd lose you
You'll always be special to me
Special to me, to me
And I remember all the things we once shared
Watching T.V. Movies on the living room armchair
But they say it will work out fine
Was it all a waste of time?
'Cause I knew, I knew
I'd lose you
You'll always be special to me
Special to me, to me
Will I forget in time? Ah
You said I was on your mind?
There's no need to argue
No need to argue anymore
There's no need to argue anymore
I gave all I could, but it left me so sore
And the thing that makes me mad
Is the one thing that I had
I knew, I knew
I'd lose you
You'll always be special to me
Special to me, to me
And I remember all the things we once shared
Watching T.V. Movies on the living room armchair
But they say it will work out fine
Was it all a waste of time?
'Cause I knew, I knew
I'd lose you
You'll always be special to me
Special to me, to me
Will I forget in time? Ah
You said I was on your mind?
There's no need to argue
No need to argue anymore
There's no need to argue anymore

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This song really helps people with breakups because the song is like funeral music. Except it's the death of a dear relationship. Because like the way you feel at a funeral of someone who you loved, it's the same with this song. She'll always cherish the moments and times with him. SHe has some regrets, but for the most part this song is about finally letting go. In this song she comes to face the facts; her relationship is done, let's just stop fighting. It makes her sad to think that so much effort was put into this relationship when in the back of her mind she sorta knew it wouldn't last forever. She remembers the good times and knows him and this relationship will always be special to her in her heart somewhere. She's slowly letting go.
halo748grl...i think u made the best explanation of the song...at least that's how i feel about the song right now :(
At the very end if you listen closely you can hear her say "you're special". That always made me think that she hadn't completely gotten over the person in this song.
This song reminds me of him...it's been 3months.. and i cant believe im still alive.. ha...you cant die from a broken soul..I miss the things about him.I gave everything.. :|
im so naive.

But they say it will work out fine Was it all a waste of time Cause I knew, I knew I'd loose you
You 'll always be special to me
@Cleoh 9 years later....hopefully you rarely think of him now and realise he was not worth your tears
I can totally relate. I have an o going issue with trust and getting to the point where i can trust, right when i do, something happens, this song..in a weird way..kinda...consoles me.
one of the most intimate songs...beautiful.
there's just no need to argue anymore ... she tried her best but she couldn't save her relationship
i thought it was about someone that was close to her, and then had died. actually, this song reminds me of my mothers boyfriend that died a few years ago because she lost him and all. (not that she knew she would). and i can relate to this song also, cause of him.
I think it is about a relationship that didn't work out. She gave all she could but it left her so sore because she gave so much but it still didn't work out. If it were death of the other I don't she would be sore about putting so much into the relationship. Also, she asks "was it all a waste of time?", if her significant other would have died I don't think she would consider it "a waste". She states "she knew" she would lose "you", unless he had some sort of terminal illness, she wouldn't know that. But it does give you something to think about that maybe they knew he was going to die. Just a thought.
I think you're right. The only thing that died is the relationship. Anyway I think this is one of the songs that explains in the best way how you feel after a break up...
What a beautiful voice.
I love how her voice just barely whispers this song..
