Book of Stories Lyrics
You're perfect photographs on the wall
And if I know you you're ok
I don't wanna dance anymore
I don't wanna sing anymore
I don't wanna dance anymore we used to sing
I thought I'd be ok till I hit that floor
I thought I'd be fine till I needed more
I thought I'd be ok till I hit that floor
Oh, I need more I need more I need more
I thought my life would get easier
instead its getting harder, instead it's getting harder
I thought my life would get easier,
instead it's darker, instead it's getting colder...
Without you
My life's a book of short stories,
and we wrote a new one everyday
I don't understand anymore
you don't love me anymore
I don't understand anymore and I can't think
Why can't I let you go?
Why can't I let you go?
Hate you I wanted to hate you
And if I know you you're ok
I don't wanna dance anymore
I don't wanna sing anymore
I don't wanna dance anymore we used to sing
I thought I'd be fine till I needed more
Oh, I need more I need more I need more
instead its getting harder, instead it's getting harder
instead it's darker, instead it's getting colder...
Without you
and we wrote a new one everyday
you don't love me anymore
I don't understand anymore and I can't think
Why can't I let you go?
Hate you I wanted to hate you

obviously it's a spiraling bout of sadness because the person he's in love with, isn't in love with him. maybe he thought hating them would make it easier, but it didn't. and forgetting them is out of the question.
the best
I see it as the person being in love and basically he's fed up. Not happy in the relationship and he kind of states it with the line "I don't want to dance anymore" obviously not meaning dance literally but it's always seen as a way of expressing enjoyment. Then he mentions "I thought I'd be ok till I hit that floor" maybe meaning rock bottom? He's finally hit rock bottom and just can't take the depressing romance that he is feeling.
I think it's about how him and his girlfriend or whatever used to go out dancing. Now that she left him and he has no one to go out dancing with, he doesn't even want to. Doesn't even want to attempt to have fun.

He thought that his life would be better with this person, but now he feels he's in a worse place than he was before.

I'm relating way too much to this song right now! :-(

I like ikickledagirl's version better because I was in the same boat about this time last year, and while your version is also a good one, and valid, I'm hitting all the literal strides as the songs author.

felt stuck in a relationship - going out dancing was one of those things we did often, but later on I just loathed the moment because I had to force myself to pretend I'm enjoying myself, but it's so obvious that she notices but doesn't say anything - just lets it eat away at her/us. Next thing I know we split up...

Next thing I know we split up and it feels like "finally!" until you're back in that scene and still can't have fun thinking maybe you fucked up - not because you really loved her but because it was easier being bored and with someone than miserable and all alone. Misery loves company i guess..?
it's also a good song platonically. like someone you care about more than anyone in the world who constantly screws you over but you care too much about them to really hate them. 'hate you, i wanted to hate you.' want to, can't.
