Chances

You've given this person many chances as they play their games and you're saying to them forget about it, be gone out of here as I have had enough of your bull and I am gonna take my changes alone rather than with a player :)

To me the song is about a guy who finally gives up waiting for a girl that he'll probably never get. For too long he's played by her rules but now he's realized that he can't waste his life waiting for her anymore and he's better off alone and he's moving on, even though he might still have feelings for her.

Song about relizing you dont wanna be in a relationship anymore, i guess... One of my favorites of this album

This song it has a special meaning to me. I used to remember a quite traumatic break up with a gal I lasted for 8 years... but now I take it as reflects the definitive emotional break up with my parents and specially with my mother. I always play their games where I was never enough as a Son nor as a Person to them. Not anymore... I'll take my chances alone.

this is missing loads of lyrics

Sorry for above comment I had mistitled this and partners in crime. great song

I think it's about a wife/girlfriend cheating. The husband/boyfriend suspects this, but doesn't confront her. He finds evidence of her plans to cheat and follows her sometimes to confirm what he already knew. It's not a surprise, but it still hurts like it is. So, he starts cheating, too.

it's fucking heartbreaking

I think of this song as Julian Casablancas waiting for his father to appear, come see or visit him but he (the father) disappoints every time. Lovely, lovely song but equally heartbreaking.
