I heard acoustic versions of this and Glass Ceiling. I like both much better acoustic. If you wanna hear it heres the link http://youtube.com/watch?v=P_tsD3Dyfnc

The first verse sounds like, yes her companion is holding her back from going somewhere. She's going to go without him, but she'll be lonely. She wants something new, but is it worth leaving him behind? What they had wasn't all they expected. She feels like she was there for him but maybe he wasn't for her. They kind of give up. Especially her, she was so focused on him and now she's risking it all and leaving.
