Even though it seems this song has been interpreted by a lot of people from being sung from the point of view of an ex-boyfriend, I think of it as from the point of view of a close friend or brother, someone who has not seen this girl that the song is about for a while. While this guy and girl have been apart she has begun to hang out with different people and do different things, and she now thinks she is hot and cool and better than him, and better off without him. The guy seems to not be able to help thinking about her, but also seems to have feeling of resentment towards her. He wishes she could go back to the way she was so he could love her how he used to. The first couple of times I heard this song I couldn't get to the end without crying. I was going through a really bad patch of my life and I felt like the song was about me. I felt like all those who may have been able to once call me and tell me they care (as in the song lyrics) would now not be able to because I'd changed so much. I felt like my sister, my brother and my ex-boyfriend, and my best friend has once been the only ones who knew how I truly was, and now they've all gone away and I've changed and I don't think they'd know me anymore. That scares me, as it seems to scare the guy in the song.
@liv85 Omg haven’t heard this song in years then randomly heard it in my local Bunnings late just before they closed. It had quite a profound impact on me. Then looking up the lyrics I read your comment and hit me hard. Your comment was so long ago can’t believe no one has followed it up. If you’re account is still active would love to hear how you are now.
