this song starts off with the narrator telling the listener about this great relationship he had, as if he's totally over it enough to say "better than to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all," but by the middle and end of the song he realizes he's not over it at all, he misses her and he wonders why he even bothers trying to kid himself into thinking he's over it when it's blatantly obvious he still loves her very much...they shared a connection that meant the world to him, and it's something he can't just "get over," so why even try?
