so few comments, damn. i love this song, always have. its not really the style of music i like, but this songs just gets to me. well...obviously its about a relationship thats just ended. possibly with someone cheating or something controversial ("if i dont listen to the talk of the town"). the singer was the one that was dumped, and is still in love with whoever theyr singing about. they feel like its killing,("ill pretend my hearts still beating") them, as we all do when we're dumped, but they are trying to move on and trying to convince themselves that they dont need their ex anymore even though they realise its going to be hard... thats my opinion anyway. rock on.
