Cover art for Sympathy lyrics by Get Up Kids, The

I think that the singer is reflecting on his career thus far (being that this is the last TGUK album) and is thinking about all the music he made which mostly was inspired by his ex fiance and thinking "why did i do all this" and answers his own question "isnt it obvious to me? Sympathy" I dunno thats how it comes across to me. Any ideas?
