Love Ridden

it is about that awkward ex friendship transition but i think it's also that she still wants to be with him... he wants to break up and while it's so painful to be friends she can't refuse beucase she loves him. i love everything she does... it's like i've felt it all before and she writes it so poetically and so melodically.

It sounds to me like she's wishing that she could have made the relationship work, but it didn't play out as she wanted. She realizes this, so she starts distancing herself from him to protect herself from the hurt that comes with the eventual break up.

She transitions from baby to just his name, no more terms of endearments, no more intimate kisses, just friendly kisses then to simple hellos.

She reached the point where she's given up on the relationship - but is still extremely sorrowful about it.

This song describes that awkward "breakup-let's-be-friends" time in life.

this song describes -me-.

i'd have to agree with virrrrgo... this is me and my ex exactly. she describes that awkward transission from lover to friend perfectly.

i also have to agree... its happened to me twice now!! myex boyfriend and i had the worst fight last night... itll take time to be friends again and get used to it

this song makes me cry. but strangely i listen to it a lot.

i totally agree...but i think they became friends because he was moving away or something...which would explain the line "in a while we'll only have to wave..."

The "i love you but i am not in love with you" phase, it's just uncomfortable and hurts.

this song is so great to listen to after you've been dumped. it's like she wants to talk to the guy, wants to touch him, wants to just say hello, but she knows how awkward it's going to be. so true.
