its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
And I swear that you don't have to go
I thought we could wait for the fireworks
And I thought we could wait for the snow
To wash over georgia and kill the hurt
I thought I could live in your arms
And spend every moment I had with you
Stay up all night with the stars
Confess all the faith that I had in you (i had in you)
Too late, I'm sure (I'm sure) and lonely (and lonely, lonely)
'Cause it's another night, another dream wasted on you
So just be here now (here now, here now), against me
You know the words, so sing along for me baby
For heaven's sake, I know you're sorry
But you won't stop crying
This anniversary may never be the same
Inside I hope you know I'm dying
With my heart beside me
In shattered pieces that may never be replaced
And if I die right now, you'd never be the same
I thought with a month of apart
Together would find us an opening
Moonlight would provide the spark
And that I would stumble across your key
Or break down the door to your heart
Forever could see us not you and me
And you'd help me out of the dark
I gave me heart as an offering (as an offering)
Too late, I'm sure (I'm sure) and lonely (and lonely, lonely)
It's just another night, another dream wasted on you
So just be here now (now), against me
You know the words, so sing along for me baby
For heaven's sake, I know you're sorry
But you won't stop crying
This anniversary may never be the same
Inside I hope you know I'm dying
With my heart beside me
In shattered pieces that may never be replaced
And if I die right now, you'd never be the same
'Cause I will always remember you as you are right now to me
And I will always remember you now, remember you now
So sleep alone tonight
With no one here just by your side
Sleep alone tonight
And how does he feel?
And how does he kiss?
And how does he taste when he's on your lips?
How does he feel?
How does he kiss?
And I can't forget you
And I know you want me to want you I want to
But I can't forgive you
So when this over, don't blow your composure baby
I can't forgive you
And I know you want me to want you, I want to
But I can't forget you
So when this is over don't blow your composure baby
I can't forget you
I know you want me to want you, I want to
I thought we could wait for the fireworks
And I thought we could wait for the snow
To wash over georgia and kill the hurt
I thought I could live in your arms
And spend every moment I had with you
Stay up all night with the stars
Confess all the faith that I had in you (i had in you)
Too late, I'm sure (I'm sure) and lonely (and lonely, lonely)
'Cause it's another night, another dream wasted on you
So just be here now (here now, here now), against me
You know the words, so sing along for me baby
For heaven's sake, I know you're sorry
But you won't stop crying
This anniversary may never be the same
Inside I hope you know I'm dying
With my heart beside me
In shattered pieces that may never be replaced
And if I die right now, you'd never be the same
I thought with a month of apart
Together would find us an opening
Moonlight would provide the spark
And that I would stumble across your key
Or break down the door to your heart
Forever could see us not you and me
And you'd help me out of the dark
I gave me heart as an offering (as an offering)
Too late, I'm sure (I'm sure) and lonely (and lonely, lonely)
It's just another night, another dream wasted on you
So just be here now (now), against me
You know the words, so sing along for me baby
For heaven's sake, I know you're sorry
But you won't stop crying

In shattered pieces that may never be replaced
And if I die right now, you'd never be the same
'Cause I will always remember you as you are right now to me
And I will always remember you now, remember you now
So sleep alone tonight
With no one here just by your side
Sleep alone tonight
And how does he feel?
And how does he kiss?
And how does he taste when he's on your lips?
How does he feel?
How does he kiss?
And I can't forget you
And I know you want me to want you I want to
But I can't forgive you
So when this over, don't blow your composure baby
I can't forgive you
And I know you want me to want you, I want to
But I can't forget you
So when this is over don't blow your composure baby
I can't forget you
I know you want me to want you, I want to

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
the part that stings the most is "forever could see US not you and me..."
This was totally mine and an ex song. Except neither one of us cheated.. we just never fully commited and we both were hurt when the other one dated someone else... it was almost like we loved eachother but not enough to make it work... anyways the " I know that you want me to want you i want too..." is pretty intense!
