To me this song reminds me on my ex g/f and how she meant more to me than i meant to her.
"I don't want to feel this way, no
I don't want to say I'm just a friend.
I don't want to wait around here
'Cause you don't want to feel no pain again.
And we just lie about it,
'Cause we become shadows of ourselves." to me this describes how i felt when we broke up and she wanted to be friends, which we ended up as but still i loved her and she just looked at me as a friend, to me shadows of ourselves is like the perceptions they each have of each other, which is blurred.
