Bottle It Up

hmm. to me this song talks about a guy who's too emotional and she's telling him to "bottle it up" and just say what he has to say (Get down to the heart of it). also he keeps telling her i love you and of course she has to say it back (Don’t make me tell you again my love love love love).

then he changes somehow (as you start to make room for the parts That aren’t you it gets harder to bloom in a garden of love ) and she finds it hard to love him and but she'll go with it for love (I do it for Love).

i'm not sure but i think that in the third part he gets sentimental again and she want's him to shut up and keep to his part of the bargain [maybe a deal that she made with him to stop being emotional and she'll stay in the realtionship ?] and that he's suffocating her with his emontional love

his emotionalness get worse and worse (Started as a flicker meant to be a flame) and even though she's used to it, it still bugs her (Skin has gotten thicker but it burns the same). she's still new at this realtionship thing and she knows she might have to break up with him (Still a baby in a cradle got to take my first fall) but she can't seem to ( Baby’s getting next to nowhere with a back against the wall) He tries to make things better and fix up the problems but just ended up makeing things worse (You meant to make me happy make me sad, Want to make it better better so bad) he promises to stop being emotional but she knows he's not going to follow through and doesn't wanna hear it (But save your resolutions for your never new year) she finally realizes that there's only one thing she can do, leave him (There is only one solution I can see here)

at the end she says to him that he's all she ever needed but he shouldn't have to change for her and there's only one thing worth tryin to be [yourself] (Love you’re all I ever could need only one good thing worth trying to be) she loves him but it's not working out so instead of being stupid and tring to change him, she's going to leave [for love] and what goes around comes around (Oh, only gonna get get what you give away, so give love, love)
