If I were brave enough to
Ask you to stay
Would that scar upon your lip
Move and come my way
Watch your eyes change from
Blue and back to green
Something deep inside of me is
Telling me to leave
But I don't want to have to let you go
Let this part of me
Remember how lovely we are, we are
If you saw in my mind
How I felt
You would hold me tight
And ask nothing else
I want you but I hate to say those words
But here I am
Standing right in front of you
Asking for a hand
But I don't want to have to let you go
Let this part of me
Remember how lovely we were, we were, we were, we were
If I don't get out
If I don't get out
If I don't get out
I have to leave somehow
But I'll never leave this town
Help me through this
Help me through this
Help me through this
Help me
You said you would be waiting
For me
Ask you to stay
Would that scar upon your lip
Move and come my way
Blue and back to green
Something deep inside of me is
Telling me to leave
But I don't want to have to let you go
Remember how lovely we are, we are
How I felt
You would hold me tight
And ask nothing else
But here I am
Standing right in front of you
Asking for a hand
But I don't want to have to let you go
Remember how lovely we were, we were, we were, we were
If I don't get out
If I don't get out
I have to leave somehow
But I'll never leave this town
Help me through this
Help me through this
Help me
For me

What a beautiful song, so applicable to me right now.
My personal interpretation - The end of a relationship that she doesn't want to end, doesn't want to accept the end. Maybe the other person initiated the break-up and she wants to tell him how she feels but is afraid to - fear of rejection? Fear of hearing that they don't feel the same way? Still hopeful, but knowing the torture that comes with it and wanting to protect herself from more hurt.
That's what I hear when I listen to this song.
