I have been with my boyfriend for three years. (I must warn you this is straight out of Jerry Springer, but it's true.) My mom and his dad had an affair. MY parents almost split, my dad moved out, but he eventually came back. I'm thankful that my family is still together, but though neither my boyfriend or I have done anything wrong, we are ultimately the ones being punished in this situation. I am forbidden to see him. If I do, there are huge consequences. When I heard this song, particularly the verse that says "we are compelled to do what we must do, we are compelled to do what is forbidden." I almost cried when I heard this song. It perfectly expresses how it feels to be so in love, yet forbidden to see each other. It's a song about a modern day Romeo and Juliet as cliche and corny as that may sound. I love this song.
