Lauryn is saying two things to me here. Shit went awry in her relationship, but that doesn't mean its hopeless.... she really wanted to work it out, but she couldn't. But she's also saying that it's notalways hopeless, and that one shouldkeep trying until it's really over.
I think this song can be taken two ways. In my mind it really means that the girl should do what she needs and wants... either that means leaving him (ironically the next song on the album is "I Used To Love Him") or she should try and work it out somehow. it says he used to be unconcerned and he neglected her. But it says nothing about there not being hope.. The whole song is based on how she still loved him, and if she does, then mabe there's something left to salvage... why's it feel so good, then? There's no finality in this song. It could end either way. If love is involved, then keep trying, I say.
This song is so cryptic to me!
