I think this song could be interpreted a few ways there are two situations i think of when i hear it either the person cheated one someone who they really cared about and are tearing themselves up about how they wish they could say somehing but it would ruin everything so they are just living with a guilty concious until thier lover found out about it from someone else and everything was ruined or two people liked eachother but one wouldn't confess it possibly because of some social influence and then once they get themselves together they realise it is too late because the other person has moved on and they are left to regret not listening to thier feelings when it mattered. The first situation is decribed by the song better, but i like the second one. anyway i love everything by silverstein!!
