shall i also type here what Alex says about THIS song? haha sure why not. i'm bored anyway.

"To me this song is about desperation at its most romantic. It's about wanting to have those 'special' moments with someone who isn't interested. When I wrote this it felt like no one loved me back the way I needed it, and every ounce of heartache I had meant nothing to anyone. Everyday was spent under a dark cloud of longing and desire. It really felt like any smile I managed was a lie and a fake, and all I wanted was for someone to love me and hold me and understand me without having to say anything. Sometimes I convinced myself that I had destroyed any good or pure thing that was in my life, and I had brought this upon myself. I just wanted some idea of where to go from there. What is there to look forward to when you can't get out of bed? (To what end?)"
