New Romantic

I think 'New romantic' refers to how when we are children we are given the misconception that love and romance will just happen and it will be easy and wonderful, just like in fairy tales. However as she has grown up and experienced love in its true form for the first time ('You'll always be my first love') she realises that it is very tough and complicated which is all new to her because she was never aware of how hard it actually is. So she's seeing romance in a new light and she doensn't like the harsh reality of it, deciding she will 'never love again' because she does not want to hurt anybody in the unescapable way real love will.

I love this song, and her!

This is about a fucked up girl that really just don't know what she wants.

Story of my life.

She was 17 when she wrote this. There's wisdom in these words.

this song is amazing. it practically sums up my last 6 months.

tome it's about a girl who's having trouble with her boyfriend and knows its not going to work out:

"So we stayed up late one night to try and get our problems right, But I couldn't get into his head just what was going through my mind."

because they're just not getting each other like they maybe once did. And the girl has a friend who has told her he loves her...and she's scared because she's falling in love with him too.

"I've got this friend who sounds just like him, Now he's the man I leave you for, the man that I just adore, Like you. The same man, he turns to me, he said "I've got to tell you how I feel, If God could make the perfect girl, for me it would be you, And my God told me not to tell about how much do you love your fella?" I don't know more everyday, Not in this new romantic way."

But she's feeling bad because she told her boyfriend she loves him and would be with him forever and now she knows she'll leave him for this other guy and break her promise and break his heart

"I'll always be your first love, You'll always be my first love."

Its such a relevant song to my life recently. But I left and now I'm happy and I know I did the right thing. But damn if I'd known this song back then it would have had me in tears every time

My ex-boyfriend was the guy in this. sigh

I guess everyone goes through this. heart-breaking for all involved.

She's the same age as me, and generally seems to have gone through the same things i have but i could never write how i felt in such a generally beautiful way.

she's rad.

I heard the same as BeginningToHope, but maybe we're both wrong.

I think the 'new romantic' way is those modern day romances which don't work in the traditional way. I think she made the guy leave another girl for her, even though she likes the other girl, and now she's feeling guilty because she's started falling for another guy who's really similar to her boyfriend but she likes more now, and is considering leaving her boyfriend for.

Brilliant song.

I love it. Really good song

this song is amazing. i've been told by my friends that it reminds them of me. and in my mind, it does slightly. the first verse reminds me of my ex boyfriend. it was the very reason we broke up. this song is amazing and is always going to be a favorite of mine.
