Anything But You Lyrics
Sweetened possessive farce
Our saints become sparse
And its an option to be transparent
So in your soul that it's inherent
Now that you've found your wings (you want to fly)
Now that I've done those things (you've said goodbye)
It would be ample if only you'd trample
What you could not choke in life
Choke, choke, choke, choke
Now that you've sold your soul
What was the human toll
And oh your sacrifice (your sacrifice)
And oh what my vice (you were)
And it would be ample if you'd only trample
What you could not choke in life
Choke, choke, choke, choke
I could be anyone
I could be anything except for you
[repeat]
Except for you
Anything except for you
No, it had to be a lie it didn't rain twice
The clouds over my head but I'm not dead yet
I could be anyone
I could be anything except for you
Except for except for except for...
Our saints become sparse
And its an option to be transparent
So in your soul that it's inherent
Now that you've found your wings (you want to fly)
Now that I've done those things (you've said goodbye)
It would be ample if only you'd trample
What you could not choke in life
What was the human toll
And oh your sacrifice (your sacrifice)
And oh what my vice (you were)
And it would be ample if you'd only trample
What you could not choke in life
I could be anything except for you
[repeat]
Anything except for you
No, it had to be a lie it didn't rain twice
The clouds over my head but I'm not dead yet
I could be anyone
I could be anything except for you
Except for except for except for...

To me, This song is talking about someone that somebody possibly admires and wants to be with, but it isnt possible. And that it would be more than enough to over come the feeling but they cant let it go... so they are stuck with the feeling forever. I love this song.
I take it that someone has hurt them emotionally, and that the narrator can't understand them. How could they do what they did to them?? The narrator just can't believe their actions (or inactions).
Given the genre I'd suggest that it is about an ex-lover hurting them.
