upon first listen, i heard it as the singer trying to tell a girl he knows and loves that he sees her being taken advantage of by other guys.
he wants her to know that he gets her. that these guys don't appreciate her for who she truly is. and the irony is that without her, those guys would "be nothing".
the song also speaks to me on a different level - about how we often put up facades of ourselves. and that sometimes when we try and hide ourselves behind these personas we attract people that inevitably turn out to be people we are not suited to.
it seems that those who fall for us don't bother trying to look below the surface, and try and find out who our real selves are. And that's what makes relationships so heartbreaking sometimes. and why this song speaks to me.
