When I first listened to this song, I thought it was about a love that was quiet and everyday. Just getting through the day together, not roses and tripping through the daisies kind of love. Now when I listen to it, I hear it as this woman who settled for a love that did not bring her any peace, and how it's not perfect. They call themselves lovers, but they know they'll still die alone.
